network lock control key

Hi gents,

I have SGS2 running ICS 4.0.4, baseband V. I9100XXLQ6. Till yesterday my phone was working well, but today I received the error that says "enter network lock control key", I checked little bit in internet how to resolve this error but I can't find any safe solution. I thing that only way is to root my phone but also I read that my baseband have some bug's. So can someone please help me how to root my phone or any other solution hot to avoid network lock control key.

Thanks in advance

Sefko

Post your ROM and kernel details,

Goto Settings - About, and post everything you see.

Ok guys, when my Photon did the OTA for 254_13 then it wouldn't reboot. I ended up pushing through the unlock pudding and it started working again -- not really sure how or why, just did. I also then did the photon torpedo method to root the phone which also worked. I will copy any files if this helps anyone trying to figure out ROMs for this new version. Anyway, I currently have a rooted and unlocked Photon running on 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 that I can't do much else with because there are no ROMs available.

I am not much of a software guy but I am good with directions if anyone wants me to try to find something on my phone for them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Could you please make -

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p10

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p11

- and send me those files from sdcard?

While this may be good news no one should jump the gun here until this can be evaluated. We really don't need more bricked phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
Want to help

How do I go about making these files for you? I will absolutely do it, just not sure of the process. :cyclops:
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
If you have terminal emulator installed, copy the commands and run them. Then find the files on your sdcard and send them to peetr
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
You can do it in terminal emulator.

Just write "su" command before those "dd".
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
Thanks

I figured it might have something to do with terminal emulator. Thanks guys, I will get on that!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
Files

Here are those files that you requested. Hopefully they will work for you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Hmm, this is interesting...

Do you remember, how exactly did you do the update?

Right after flashing 198_6 full sbf?

You were unlocked or locked right before update?

But I think I know...

You flashed full 198_6 sbf and updated.

Looks like recovery from 198_6 ota and sbf are not exactly the same and recovery was not flashed, because in the ota is not whole recovery image, but patch only.

Because it failed, you were having failed to boot 3 and bootloader update was not flashed.

Everything else is sv2, so you were maybe having problems with unlocking, but still, bootloader stays sv1, so you can be unlocked, but probably not locked anymore, with locked bootloader sv1. Do not try to flash any full sbf.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
From what I remember that sounds about right. I do remember that I had to reflash recovery after all this happened and I did have a failed to boot (3 sounds right).

I definately will not try to flash any sbf.

I did at one point try to run the kitchen sink rom and it installed and booted up but I had nothing except wifi working and I ran a restore and it came right back without issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HemRoyd:
I just got a Photon back from repair at Motorola. D'bags put 254_13 on it. Subscribed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
Peetr, do you think this will cause me issues if and when they (Motorola) release an ICS update for the Photon??
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Probably yes, but when (if) moto ics comes out, I believe, someone will post dump of kernel and system. And if you are unlocked, you can flash it, anytime.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
Thanks for looking at this for me! let me know if you need anything else at all. Nice thing is if they update to ICS when they are supposed to I will be under warranty still as long as my phone doesn't show unlocked........ hmmmmmm :confused:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] felipevsw:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scook94:
I tried the usual way with wipes and formatting /system but it hung at the boot logo. Didn't have time to play around as I had to leave for work. Try some of the methods listed in the FXP CM9 thread in the Development section. Seems Bin4ry's kernel helps for the initial wipes/flashing.

I might give it another try when I get home or hold out for the next CM10 release...

Please how do I choose a new modem for my device?

I am currently with a modem XXLPQ (from CyanogenMod 10), not know if it's the best option for me because I'm from Brazil (South America) and if there are other more compatible modems, I would like to test.

I appreciate the help.

Check you have no side effects when trying them.I had a good modem but my data was sticking until I reset it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
You should know this that modems which work well for one person may not work well with others. So, asking which modem to use isn't useful. You'll have to try one by one to see on which you get a good reception and 2G/3G speeds.

The latest one I believe is the XXLQ6, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. However, latest doesn't necessarily mean the best. Many users like XXLPS, XXLPR, XXLPX, just to name a few.

[LG Optimus 2x] leroy_coco:
Well, im playing using stock v20s

Stock kernel, no tweaks and it lags a bit at the beggining then the game gets smooth, i think that a custom kernel and a bit OC could be enough to play this game like a tegra 3

Well, the data folder is in the main root

[General Questions and Answers] ncvikingx97:
So I am going to be buying a new android smartphone, and would like to know what your opinions are. The operating system is ALMOST irrelevant in my decision, so the nexus won't be gaining any real points for that, I can just flash a JB rom. Which do you think is the better overall phone, the HTC Rezound, or the Galaxy Nexus. I have a good chunk of experience, so rooting and flashing are not to much of an issue. Which do you think has the better hardware, or is just a better overall phone? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] AlanVG:
I'm a little biased towards HTC products, mainly because I'm in love with my Inspire 4G... but I would go with the Rezound between those two. I mainly just like the solid feel of HTC products, and the Rezound's hardware seems on par.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
If you honestly don't care about OS then the Rezound is the better choice by a tad, mainly due to its camera. But You can't just buy a high end phone and say "oh I can just flash a JB ROM" because there aren't any jellybean roms yet.

Rezound has a better camera but a smaller screen. And it also has red capacitive buttons versus the galaxy nexus on-screen buttons (which can be theme with cm9 and cm10 anyhow).
[General Questions and Answers] novalux:
It might be blasphemy here, but I'll take stock AOSP direct from Google over custom ROMs any day. You just can't beat the balance of performance and stability. My poor T-989 didn't know what to do with itself with all the ROMs I was trying on it to make it not a pile of TouchWiz crap.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Well the nexus hardware is built to run the open source drivers unlike the OEM models so you could run the same rom on both devices and the nexus will work better

It depends on your carrier, but either a Samsung Galaxy SIII or a Droid Razr Maxx. Any device you pick you will be happy with though cuz its Android and better than an iphone

I like the rezound for it's looks, and the nexus has jellybean. The only reason that I wouldn't consider getting a razr at the moment is I don't really like how it looks, and I don't really like the super industrial feel of motorola products
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabbed:
I have an .avi file with a 5.1 audio stream, but the stream is messed up - most of the sound is coming out of the FR channel, because it was improperly encoded from a mono or stereo source. I can watch the video ok on a pc if I use gomplayer and set up AC3 decoder to downmix to mono - the audio from all channels is mixed and played through L and R channels of headphones.

The Question is:

Does android have an app or a plugin to downmix to mono audio, for Nexus 7?

I know Voodoo control panel can do this, but it doesn't work with N7.

I also tried a number of players -

mx player, mobo player pro, moboplayer, dice player, vplayer, rock player lite, bs player. There may have been a few more I don't recall at the moment.

None of these players have the option to downmix to mono.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.

I too would love mono mix sound!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wisdawn:
Stereo-to-mono effect on Windows PC and Android

First of all, a free audio-player app called AIMP on Google Play, Android, has a Settings -> Sound -> Output -> "Mix to mono" setting, which will be useful for this need.

Secondly, while I don't know which Android app he's talking about, edditnyc is most probably right, because on a Windows PC, and depending on the sound card, you can right-click the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom right corner), click Playback devices, right-click Speakers, click Properties, click the Enhancements tab (if it doesn't exist then perhaps the sound card doesn't support the feature or the latest drivers for the sound card aren't installed), scroll down and tick Headphone Virtualization. And while this does not downmix stereo or others channels to mono, it does something that emulates this effect of mixing stereo to mono on the PC; it allows you to hear sounds that are originally only playing on the left speaker, for example, on the right speaker. And to the best of my knowledge, this should work with all sound that plays from any program on the computer, including audio players, video players, and games.

Hope this helps those who need this for technical issues or for unilateral hearing loss, at least until Microsoft and Google start to recognize this need in their accessibility settings.

Did you install the framework-res from your OS? Jellybean, ICS etc each use a different version of the SDK. Use the command

I am able to decompile, make changes and recompile with no errors at all. Sign it and it installs fine, but when I apply the theme it tells me it can't as it hasn't been compiled correctly. I loaded the framework-res from my ROM but still no joy.

Anyone else managed to get this to work?

CM10 is Android Jellybean 4.1.2 and before, CM10.1 is Android Jellybean 4.2+ (current version is 4.2.1)

[Android Themes] JokerAce:
I think I will have better understanding when I get hold of the 4.2.1 framework-res and systemUI apks. Because for now, the images in the CM10.1 template seems to me to be the same as the CM10 template you had? Do I need to take a deeper look?
