[HTC Inspire 4G] accts:
It's true that Carrier has the ability to scan for IMEI, however if you don't have mobile data on. IT will not raise a red flag for data plan. This has happened for one of my line in my account - Had my mobile data off and still get a message from ATT that automated add data plan. After research I known what caused it because ICQ required data to communicate with ATT, that's why I got hit with data plan. After root, give ATT an non-smartphone IMEI. I was good to go. Even when i login to my account online I do see my device is Inspire 4G - however the main registration IMEI is a non-smartphone. Weird but it worked.

Also you can just buy the prepaid minutes that reup off your credit card it comes out to be the same as most monthly bills if not cheaper for some and at&t don't care at all what phone you use on those

If you aren't sure then do it twice!
[LG Optimus Black] ponygon101:
Since the original Samsung Galaxy S has the same screen size and resolution as the Optimus Black, is it possible that I could take an APK's (like browser.apk or mms.apk) from the Galaxy S and copy it to the Optimus Black? Would just copying and pasting the APK's in system/app be enough or would modifying of the APK be necessary?
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
It should work and you should change permissions to

I've installed the Mediatek drivers on 4 different computers in my house (Vista, Window 7, Windows 7 64bit, Windows 8) and I cant get ANY of them to work!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronbo76:
Need to uninstall device and reinstall drivers

If you google, "Code 10", you will find that on a Windows system it is an error code generated by the Device Manager "because it can not start a device". In a nut shell, the most likely cause for this is because the device was not properly installed with the right drivers.

If you are running Windows, you can try to use the attached file called USBReview to see what device that is as you know it is your phone. Basically, with this program you can remove all the old drivers and start all the driver installation again.

Try to find your phone either here on xda, on the web or contact your phone's manufacturer - you need drivers!!!

Good luck, Mr. Phelps.

I'm having the same problem installing the MT6575 USB VCOM drivers. Is there a workaround to get this installed? I"m using WIN 6 64bit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivy13:
This is what worked for me after lot of experimenting and searching:

- get MTK6575 drivers (for instance from Bruno Martins where he writes about flashing mtk6575 - google: MT6575 flashing tutorial bruno

- Start c/windows/system32/hdwwiz.exe (as admin)

- Click next

- Manually select hardware

- List all devices

- Select the driver (for example usb2ser_Win764.inf)

- from the List select "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port"

(or you can install other drivers from the list if Preloader is not enough..)

On another computer I solved it by installing whole Android SDK, checked my android system and installed updated for SDK (approx. 2 GB) and it installed correct drivers automatically.

Also you can experiment with using another usb port..

Please write here if it helped.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayfloyd170:
my phone is totally dead without power now after I tried to flash with SP Flash tool using correct ROM. I noticed in device manager that there is a CODE 10 error in mediatek preloader usb driver.. is this the culprit? my phone can no longer be detected now in SPFlash or MTK Droid tools... so hopeless... this is a brandnew phone I bought to be given as gift to my cousin...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sintetix:
I did it! I did it! I did it! :)

The solution is... we need not MediaTek USB VCOM (Android) (USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0005&MI_02), but PreLoader USB VCOM Port (USB\Vid_0e8d&Pid_2000) !

I have MTK6582 (KingSing S2), the host - WinXPx64.

It looks like my phone (and, maybe, other MTK devices too) have several engineering modes.

I have spent several hours trying to get working VID_0BB4&PID_0005&MI_02, which is exposed, if device is turned on while holding VOL- pressed. In this mode some strange factory mode with nonfunctional menu items is displayed on the screen. But to activate mode with Vid_0e8d&Pid_2000 some trickery is necessary.

Sometimes this USB interface starts repeatedly to appear and disappear every half-second in infinitive loop. I had such situation once, when connected turned off phone to USB cable with battery removed.

I just literally catched MT65xx Preloader by double clicking on it in windows device manager and pressing "install drivers" in it's properties. I have used Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00\SmartPhoneDriver\x64\Infs\usbvcom.inf from http://spflashtool.com/download/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip. DriverVer = 12/24/2011, 2.0000.0.0

After clicking "Read Back" in Flash Tool this insane loop stopped and program started to function as intended.

This interface could also appear once and for very short moment, if turned off phone (with battery inserted) is just connected to host. Also it could be seen again, if power button is pressed. If "Download" or "Read Back" is not pressed in advance in Flash Tool, than boot will continue after smaller than a second pause (if device is functional).

I don't know if running Install.bat (from archive I have given above) is necessary. It didn't installed driver when Vid_0e8d&Pid_2000 wasn't active, but, I guess, running it during short blinks would give the same effect.

Also, I don't know, if advice given in comment#6 in this thread four years ago would work. Maybe, the fault was in older version of driver (DriverVer=05/30/2011,1.1123.0).

Another reason could be that necessary USB interface disappears before windows manages to install driver for it for the first time. Possibly, only if "catched" in device manager, user could manually assign driver to it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DWPorter2:
I've been struggling with my UMI Rome for days. It has/had the black screen problem, sometimes won't enter recovery mode, sometimes wouldn't allow charge, sometimes works just fine (yesterday). Last night i mistakenly cut off power during a battery recharge. -- today it has all the above problems (bricked) so I am trying doing a flashing again using the tutorials and tools on the Tehnotone.com site. Sintetix's reply above helps me at least have a better clue on what is going on. Wish me luck! BTW, I am using a Dell Windows 10 pc. (Results to be reported here.)

Here is my latest paid app. Bruteforcer.

Ever wanted to lock and unlock your PC using a bruteforce algorithm? Well now you can!.

This IS beta. Most of it's features are finished, but I am polishing them up to make your experience with them better. It uses a windows companion application (soon for Mac,Linux) to sync with the app and allow a simultaneous unlock with feedback from both devices. HD Video of it soon when I release the companion app.

This app is FREE for ALL XDA Members as long as I can stretch its development. Download in attachments.

Mini-landing page.(Will be updated FIRST before everywhere else.)

Personally, I thought this was a cool idea. I've always wanted a fullscreen app on my PC to interact with my phone in this type of way. I hope you guys like it's development.

I have a couple more things planned for this app. I'm waiting for more people to adopt Windows 8 before I make a Metro app as a companion for this android app.

*What I need from You*

- Feedback

- Different types of bruteforcing techniques

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
I was originally rooted by using invisiblek's original "stock" root, which contained some Sprint stuff, so I opted to do a clean start from a stock Verizon rom, but to save time I rooted using the adb script method from GS3DebugFSRoot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 instead of Root66, which requires a 1.5 GB image download then must be flashed through Odin.

I did this to avoid some of the strange app behaviors from the rooted "Sprint" rom, but after rooting through adb with an automated script, some root apps don't function properly, even though they're getting root permission.

After doing some research and restoring my sprint NAND backup several times to compare, the main things I noticed are:

1. After rooting through adb, the Superuser.apk app is installed in /data/app (which is a user app location) as opposed to /system/app in the case of the flashable root method.

2. Superuser.apk is called com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk instead

3. Superuser.apk from a flashed rom has these permissions (seen using root-expl)

rwsr-sr-x, but the adb method file xxxxxx.su-1.apk has these permissions rwxrwxr-x

4. The owner of the file is "root" when flashed through Odin, but "system" when rooted with adb.

Otherwise, the su binary itself is ok, it is a newer version and larger in size compared to the flashed versions, but it has the right permissions and is located correctly in /system/xbin.

I tried deleting the xxxxx.su-1.apk in /data/app and copying Superuser.apk to /system/app, to make it a system app, reset permissions and "owner" and "group" to root, but lost root after rebooting, so had to start back from my NAND backup again.

Does anyone know how to make Superuser a system app in the /system/app folder without losing root?

Also, I'm not sure this is the cause, but Titanium Backup has a hard time detecting root every time I start it, and has to be restarted multiple times, which wasn't a problem when flashed root w/ Odin, and most importantly, DroidWall is not blocking ANYTHING, whether it's in whitelist or blacklist mode, which it did when I used Odin to flash a rooted rom. I've tried everything, bu to no availe, can a dev that might have an idea what is going on here, help me with this and point me in the right direction to look for what to fix to get DroidWall to work, and if that is causing these issues, to get Superuser installed in the right folder?

Thank you

Maybe get the TF fixed, and get a nexus to hold me over?

Is there another tablet that has the dev support the Tf 101 does?

The glass is intact but the display is definitely hosed. Some pixels are lit and the back light is working but I can see a large 5in crack through the display itself. $500 deductible on the insurance so it's coming out of pocket.
