This video will show you the exploit being ran and a serial port being established.

Click here to watch video!

This is a big step as this enables reading the IMEI (among many other settings) via PST. Normally we can simply 'write' back whatever IMEI we want at this point; but that is not the case with this phone. When we find how to write back the IMEI, the IMEI issue will be resolved.

So,

Q: Is this a full IMEI solution?

A: No, this is me posting my work in progress along with a one click tool so that the community can help finish it up.

keep it up man, thank you so much for your efforts, :highfive:

hopefully with your work, i can start flashing without feeling worried instead of staying on stock forcefully ! :P

Sorry for the post right under bro, i didn't know you were making a reserve, maybe the mod can flip them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kschumake83:
This is very interesting with the imei thing. I used to have Nextel Motorola's and there was radio service software that could be found that would be able to change the imei no. It would be great if this could do the same for people who lost their imei. Hopefully someone who lost their imei could try this and see.

Did you flash the insecure kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
I am using Ktoonse's insecure kernel on stock rom, understood Geek's instructions to mean any insecure rooted kernel, but I guess only stock rooted ones? Hmmm, could be the problem. I wonder if it would be safe to flash ATT insecure kernel to my rogers phone?

Thanks! I have decided to refrain from all flashing until this imei issue gets worked out.

Good job my man :-) I will test it out later when I get home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bravomail:
Tested

Tool sort of works. Just scared to change anything. From Test->Advanced the app force-closes Phone.apk and then hangs. Saw NV and EFS under different menus. So there is hope that IMEI and carrier unlock can be achieved.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] <:GeeK:>:
Not ALL options are specifically for our device, these are general Samsung engineering options. That's why you will see some options relating to CDMA and our devices are obviously not CDMA capable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew_han:
i have the stock bell insecure kernel flashed and this tool will not open on my phone, oh well i guess i don't need it until we can restore imei anyways
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
@Geek: Are you still working on getting this tool to write imei numbers? Is it possible? Looks like other progress on the imei issue is negligible. Also one guy who had Samsung fix his phone said they had to replace the whole board.

Finally, I propose if you are successful at getting this to fix the imei problem, we all each pitch in 20 bucks? Money well spent imo. There are enough here craving a solution that donation amounts could become meaningful quickly.

I'd donate ten If you come up with a solution

How do you take a screenshot on the Lumia 800? Is there an app or mod that allows us to do this?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. Nope, my device is not unlocked.

So it needs to be unlocked for the screenshot functionality?

Yes, it must be unlocked. If you are a student you can get free student dreamspark account and unlock device. You will be able to install 3 apps from .xap files.

Hi guys sorry if this has already been explained but I am the epitomization of a noob.

Anyways I have an S2 which I updated to ICS 4.0.3 via KIES and I would like to root it.

Could you direct me to a thread or explain how?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apk_xiz:
root you rom with siyah kernel (see my sign for siyah kernel link )

then download Extweaks for kernel modifications :)

Google CF Root and follow the instructions to the letter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

That's what I used after a few failed attempts with other options. The advantage of this method is that other than root it doesn't change anything else on the system. No new kernels with potential to brick etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas1520:
Just the other day I tried that method, it worked. Anyway, download Siyah Kernel and use Odin to flash it.

Steps:

1. Download http://www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.4.tar

2. Put your phone into download mode (press volume down + home button + power) at the same time.

3. Open Odin (Google Odin 1.85 and download it).

4. Connect the usb cable to the device and computer while Odin is open and it will show in the white box as added.

5. Click select next to PDA in Odin and select the kernel (the tar file) and start.

You will now have root access and Clockworkmod Recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David JD:
My phone is stock UK ICS 4.0.3 (Base firmware I9100XWLP7)

Would it be the correct assumption that I need to download this file:

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip

Load it into Odin (PDA) and with my phone in download mode and click start?

Also does USB debugging have to be enabled?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apk_xiz:
no you won't have to enalble USB debuging (not require via download mode )

yes go for it :)

(but still you better flash siyah kernel due to it is always latest not like CF which is way more old and no touch recovery and huge batter hog due to old busybox :P )

Want to fullwipe and install a new rom? Worried that current emails from the company email installed will be wiped out? Well here's a solution for you.

First of all, for ease of use, the email client used is not the stock one, but by K-9 email. This is completely personal choice & only because of the usefulness & ease.

Assuming that your current email is configured on the K-9 mail.

Step-1 (Nandroid Backup)

- Boot into recovery

- Perform a Nandroid backup of your current rom from recovery.

- Reboot.

Note the location of the Nandroid backup.

Step-2 (Appextractor installation)

- Install Appextractor from market & run the program.

- click menu button & select "settings" to select the Nandroid backup location

- select the 3rd option "Nandroid backup location"

- Enter the location of the Nandroid backup here & press OK.

- select the relevant backup file.

Step-3 (Restore selection / finalization)

- select "user apps" as K-9 email is normally installed as a user app.

- program will scan for the user apps

- program will present the list of applications in the backup.

- check the K-9 email app box & any related apps

- click Restore APK+Data. Wait for confirmation of completion.

Exit the program & check the K-9 app from the App drawer. All settings & data (emails till the Nandroid backup time) will have been restored. Just check for new mails & newer mails will be added.

Since K-9 is a user app, the process should be compatible when moving from any platform eg. GB to ICS (unchecked by me).

Have checked the same when migrating from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I need your help.

I wanna know if I can come back to the stock rom (The official rom - htc sense 4) after rooting and flashing other roms ?

And I wanna know if there is a really improvement for the battery life in other rom and other kernal ?

Also, can I unroot my device ? (If it was root)
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Yes u can go back to stock completely by running an ruu. There are many benefits of custom roms the amount of customisation and also the battery life can improve depending on what Rom you Use some are for performance others for battery savers
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
"Yes u can go back to stock completely by running an ruu" - please, could you explain that for me? I don't understand about the rooting and all of that .. :p
[HTC One S] frdd:
And yes unroot is possible and will also happen when returning to stock rom
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
And how do I do this ?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Even with super su if u go into settings there is something called full unroot and u don't need to be connected to computer
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
So does it really make my phone to be unrooted?

Ohh and I want to install any rom, but I see that there are new updates for the rom. So I need to flash the new rom (the update) ?? I don't want to lose the messages, contacts and etc with the new updates ...
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Once rooted download titanium backup and make a back up then also make a nandroid backup when u install a new Rom its advised to wipe the phone (sd card does nt get touched ) once your on the desired Rom restore files with titanium back up if anything goes wrong when rooting run nandroid back up ans ye super su will totally unroot u that's what it says or u can run and ruu specific to ur country and update version and that will also take u back to stock
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
Great comment I must say :)

And can I get the htc original updates in the stock rom?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Yea u can update on stock HTC but there is no point personally I don't recommend it if your rooting and going onto a custom Rom no point because developers base their roms around the latest update from HTC and HTC sometimes add stupid things in their updates to make it harder for us to get roms on making phone easier to brick like I'm still on HTC update 1.73 never updated just make sure before put on a custom Rom that you have

Titanium backup and made a backup

Made a nandroid backup this is built into clock work mod (recovery) and your good to go

I never keep my backups on my phone I transfer them to the computer because they can take upto 2gb on phone and that's just nandroid backups

Another reason why you shouldn't update via HTC updates is because you will have to keep changing your ruu for the newer ones and sometimes can be hard to get hold of by staying on the one you have right now just find and download it.and u will never have to change it if anything ever goes wrong like bootloop you can run ruu if less experienced or run adb push a Rom onto phone if you want to learn about that I can send u a link for xda thread

Hope this helps sorry for any spelling errors I did not check over it because wrote this via my one s and its quite late ;p

Edit

And u only get super su once rooted
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
"u will never have to change it if anything ever goes wrong like bootloop you can run ruu if less experienced or run adb push a Rom onto phone if you want to learn about that I can send u a link for xda thread" -

Yes please give me the link :)

And there is a possibility that my phone can stop working because the root/rom/htc ?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
When I say stop working u can go into bootloop for example installing wrong boot.IMG or forgetting to install boot.IMG with a Rom erm you very rarely will completely brick your phone I think I've seen one person on xda who completely bricked their phone not 100% tho u will make mistakes one s was my first android I went into bootloop 4times I understand everything now and it is very worth it just don't install radios because if ur new to it and do something wrong I think its perminant brick everything else is bootloop and to get out of it u run ruu , adb push Rom or the easiest one run the nandroid back up u made

I would only use adb when I go into bootloop and If I don't want to go back to stock by running ruu.

When putting a Rom onto the phone easiest way is to connect it to pc via USB put the .zip on there and flash it with cwm

Read post above I editted it... U hold down power for 5sec to do soft reset if u think ur phones still on then hold power and down button and u will enter hboot / bootloader then u navigate to recovery and phone will display some red text with HTC logo and then cwm will launch you click backup and restore then click restore

Ruu is a exe file u run on the computer and u connect ur phone to the computer via USB and to run ruu phne has to be in fastboot which is in.bootloader and I just told u how to access that

Hi I got my nexus 7 on Tuesday and yesterday I felt like there were some loose parts, but I just ignored it. Played around it more today and felt funny like the glass is coming off.. and just now I realized the glass is indeed loose.. from the casing.. I feel like I can literally take off the glass if I wanted to...

Does anyone else have this problem? What should I do... it doesn't affect the screen in any such way though. Everything looks fine on screen.

Except that when I play with it the glass/screen can be pushed and I can hear a crack sound like the glass is being clipped on to the casing..

OK like my left part of screen I push down and then pops back up ,making a clip sound.....

What do I do?
