I get decent speeds, up to 9mb in some places. Not experienced the theoretical yet!!

But much better than my flipping Sprint NS4G!

Been running this for a while, tried many other roms but imo this is the best so far... No fc minimal bugs if any. Love it.

the Aokp/CM based roms have came a long way over the last few weeks.

You might want to give them another try. Just make sure you are armed with a valid nandroid flash backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dsg32:
there are plenty of decent roms but my personal favorite is Jedi Mind Trick v4, the newer versions gave me too much problems with the voltage control, i was too lazy to actually fix the problem so I flashed back to that version lol. But it truly is a great rom.

On the T989?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UltimaniumX:
I am running (beta) Jedi Knight 3. Probably the best rom there is for our t989, at least in my opinion. I tried CM9 for a couple of weeks, but I didn't couldn't get used to not having the TouchWiz Calender (S Planner now), Calculator, Clock+Alarm, and Samsung Music Player.

I used my S2 with default everything before I knew of the wonderful world of rooting/modding. I already liked Samsung's default music player, calendar sync and clock functionality, so it was natural to download a rom that mimic's the S3 ICS interface. I am loving everything about Jedi Knight 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hompsar:
I am on Jedi Mind Trick v9. I've loaded TONS of roms and liked things about all of them. Once upon a time I was in love with Darkside hands down. But those days are done. JMT seems to be its replacement. You pretty much have to tinker. But it's fun. So go nuts.

Hi,

Is there anyone who got Droidsheep to work? I`m rooted, running mindh8x3r, cake kernel 1.4, app is installed correctly, it`s spoofing the IP but nothing appears.

Is it only me, or is there anyone with same issue? If it`s working for you, please post your apk and specs what rom you running.

EDIT: I flashed Hensemod7, and guess what, it`s working.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] henchdiesel:
Ok so I purchased a used hox on craigslist the other day. When I first put my sim card in after purchase I was unable to get a data connection using the pta apn. I had network connection and was able to make/receive calls and texts, but had no data connection. I was getting the "misconfigured apn" error in network settings. After some googling I found that I need to switch my plan to an att LTE plan (I am in a covered area). I am not the account holder, and it would be a day or two until I could get in contact with the account holder, so I just threw in the wap.cingular or phone apn and was able to get an hspa connection fine. So I rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader (using htc dev) without a problem, flashed a few custom roms, everything is working 100%. Except for last night when I finally decided to switch my plan over with AT&T and try to connect to LTE. After about an hour on the phone with technical support, they concluded that I don't have an AT&T phone, which I am certain I do.

I am guessing that the only way they could tell that I didn't have an AT&T phone was from the IMEI which they asked for at the beginning of the call. So I checked the IMEI on the box against the IMEI on the phone and they are different. The SNs match, but the IMEIs are different. I checked out the phone IMEI online and it came back as invalid. (For the record I also checked the box IMEI against the lost and stolen phone database and it was not found)

So, basically, I am wondering if this issue can be caused by something that I did (ie rooting, bootloader unlock, rom flashing, etc) or if I was somehow sold a tampered device or if this is something to be concerned about. Its not a very big deal if its something I did, I understand the risks associated with rooting/unlocking/flashing etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
what method did you use to unlock the bootloader? If you used the one without HTCDev found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734558 it changed the IMEI number. You can put it back though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] henchdiesel:
I actually used the method outlined here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671396, which is probably a similar method under the hood I guess. How would I go about returning the IMEI to stock? Is it as simple as opening mmcblk0p4 in a hex editor and changing the 11111111 back to CWS__001?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Nope.

the method you used doesn't TOUCH IMEI. IMEI and CID are two different things.

did you happen to notice when you got the phone if the bootloader said locked? or was it re-locked?

I suspect if it's the latter then whoever had the phone before you did used the "without htc dev" method to unlock and didn't copy back the unaltered partition when they were done.

There are ways to rewrite the correct IMEI to the phone. I don't know how, and discussion of it is forbidden here. Maybe someone who can help you will send you a PM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] henchdiesel:
The phone did say locked when I got it. It may have been re-locked, but there is no way for me to be sure. I guess if anyone has info about repairing my IMEI and could pm me I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise I guess I'm out of luck. Thank you very much for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
if it said LOCKED then IMEI got corrupted by some other means. Sorry I can't be of more help. :( I do have a suggestion though.

Find one of those Cell phone stores that advertises flashing phones to some other carrier. Maybe THEY have the means to fix your IMEI.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] henchdiesel:
I'm just glad it was something that I screwed up as opposed to my buying a tampered/stolen device. Mods can probably close this thread, mark it as "solved" or something like that, before we get too far into the IMEI modding stuff. Hopefully I can get this figured out on my own. Thanks again for your help.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
It's likely not an IMEI issue....but more likely you don't have an LTE SIM. Symptoms are just that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seanmack:
This is a something that I was always unclear about. Hope its not a dumb question:

After installing the ROM and booting for the 1st time, the developer always says let it sit for 10 mins and the reboot. When it loads for the first time, I always get the 'Welcome' set up screen... My question is this:

Am i supposed to leave it on this screen for 10 mins, or set the phone up, get to the main screen, and then leave it for 10 mins?

Just asking so that I can get the best results from my ROM, if that detail matters. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr. bird:
Just let it sit. After you reboot then set it up. I don't always reboot tho and I've never had a problem. But I suggest doing what the OP says.

Thank u!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
It appears my A100 decided that it wanted to nearly 100% brick itself last night.

I'm stuck with only recovery at the moment and it is reporting that /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 are not found. I've tried plugging it into usb while in recovery to see about using ADB shell to recover the partitions but I cannot seem to get the USB drivers to recognize the device.

Anyone have ideas on what I can do as a next step?

Thanks to pio_maski and linuxsociety for helping us all out. For those just joining the thread:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] benpwarner:
I had the same thing happen to me last night.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
Curious to know if you all were using stock kernels or a custom one? if custom which one?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
I believe mine was a stock kernel. I was using an unlocked boot loader, clockwork recovery 5.5.0.4 (I believe) and CM9 from 2012/07/08. Unfortunately that is about all the information I can provide. I was unable to use adb with CWR so I couldn't pull up more information on the nature of the problem. I ended up sending it back to Acer for warranty and got it back not 24 hours ago.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
The reason I asked was because I have been working on custom kernels and recoveries for the A100 to help in preventing this from happening, so I just wonder if anyone has had the mmc brick bug to occur while using one of my kernels in combination with my twrp recovery that also has userland mmc brick bug prevention patches.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
What causes the bug? Is it something preventable in terms of software run? I just got my A100 back from warranty and would prefer it not die in the same spectacular fashion again...

I actually just finished unlocking the bootloader, flashing CWR 5.5.0.4 and re-installing CM9. Would prefer not to do this dance again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
The exact cause is unknown, however we do know that parts of the information the GPT partition table contains is wiped. There is no exact cause that we are aware of yet.

I wonder why so many people choose to use CWR over twrp? It would make sense to use CWR on devices that don't have TWRP support, but this one does and has for a while. I've never figured that out as the interface is much more trickier and when I have used it in the past i just seem to easily accidentally do the wrong thing with it. I dunno I guess people get accustomed to using one product and just never switch to something else.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
Do the more recent recoveries include a good way to re-write the GPT partition table via an adb shell? Seems like if you can re-write the GPT partition table you'd be able to recover the device from mostly dead. Also, does the bug affect data stored on the various partitions? If so, are there images of the various partitions floating around?

Speaking for myself, I find that I can mash the hardware keys more efficiently via muscle memory than touch about a touch screen. Probably my old graybeard keyboard ways shining through...

I considered moving over to TWRP but the last I looked the information was a little lean (~1-2 months ago now probably). I planned on looking closer at it once the JB port is further along for the A100. Figured I'd jump to TWRP when I jump over to JB. I am aware the CM9 versions for the A100 are a bit out of date and I'm working on a build to address that (running repo sync while I'm at work).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
At this point its an unknown trigger, however the research on it shows Samsung and kindle fire devices with the same emmc we have are prone to the same issue.

As it stands now Linux society has patched the issue for Samsung devices in his kernel for Android and his kernel for twrp, its about the best protection we have at this time. While I may not agree to the trigger with him, its still a step taken against it that may well prove to be what prevents future bricks. Better safe then sorry kind of thing and I would suggest his recovery and kernel for this reason. Plus his kernel has a lot of extra goodies to play with :p

It works with all existing roms from ICS to JB, stock or modified or CM.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
You just had to sweeten the deal.... I will definitely add this higher on my ToDo list than I planned. I really don't want to go through the hassles of another warranty.

If it helps right before my device's GPT table died, I saw a massive CPU spike that caused my device to get quite warm. 2 or 3 hard power-offs and power cycles later my device was going out for warranty. After each boot before it went dead the CPU spike problem was still present and the device wouldn't even unlock from the lockscreen.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
That is actually different from normal for emmc bricks, though makes sense too. If the file system is corrupt or missing then it would hog CPU time trying to find the data or fix the damage, if it even could.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
i think my a100 died just now for the same reason. i was running cm10 preview with 1.5 custom kernel for JB. Is there a way to restore the tablet? any help?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
You need to give more details about what exactly your tablet is doing and what all was you doing when this happened? Can you still get to recovery? When you try to boot does it ever show boot animation? After turning the tablet on does the distorted Acer image still appear? Can you get adb connection at regular boot? Recovery adb? If you can get to recovery can you please give us your recovery.log file also? Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
you are right, so:

1) my tablet was charging, i unlocked it, it freezed. So i pressed the reset button under the tablet. Then it showed boot animation for ever.

2) i can access recovery (clockworkmod recovery) so i flashed cm9 instead of cm10, but the result is always the same, stuck on bootanimation after the distorted acer image that appears. Sometimes the tablet finishes boot, say "upgrading android" but never finishes.

I will try with adb later at home, and if you can tell me how to take the recovery.log i will provide it.

In this case what can i do?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
That's not a brick. backup your apps with titanium backup, reboot wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system. Install your rom, gapps, kernel, etc.. Boot to android and install titanium backup, restore apps + data (only user apps not system!)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
hello there, i did what you said (except for the titanium backup thing, i dont care about apps) that is the procedure to flash roms. after flashing the recovery freezed after saying "install completed" so i had to reboot manually the tablet from the power button.

still rom does not work (now the boot animation does not even show up).

PLUS if i try to wipe again the recovery says what you see in the attachment.

It is worse than before, am i right?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
He's bricking. If he wipes cache then he will finish the job.

Edit: never mind I didn't see his update.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
now what? too late?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
Well it definitely doesn't look good now. So the boot animation was appearing before you tried to do all the wipes and install from CWM? I just wanted to verify that this DID in fact take place while booted into recovery. You may want to discuss this with pio_masaki since he had a brick happen to him recently, and he is quiet knowledgeable with the procedures to try to recover from lost partitions or to verify that you are indeed bricked (lost GPT partition info ) .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mordeith:
stock rom

my tablet(a100)is doing much the same, its stock except for crosix swap-mod ,i plug into pc(win 7) and it says apx not installed..last nite it locked up while reading,..and well..i rebooted it and all i saw was the android..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
Yes sir, the boot animation was appearing before I tried to do all the wipes and install from CWM. pio_masaki can you help me? I read in this thread that a user with my problem sent the tablet to acer and they fixed that, so they do not check if I installed custom roms/kernel/roms? I could try to send mine too in the end, but I prefere to solve this without sending the tablet you know... help would be much appreciated!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
If you have the brick, then there isn't any options left except to send it in to Acer for repair. They won't say anything about your ROMS/Kernels, however you need to find out if the stock bootloader needs to be re-flashed, and this will pretty much lock them out of recovery and everything when you do. They'll just end up replacing the board in the tablet and sending it back. I'm not 100% sure if anyone has sent their tablet in to acer with the a200 bootloader still intact and received their repaired tablet without a hassle, really that's the main thing you may want to check into.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
For everyone having the missing partitions error in this thread, once it starts its done, it began when the first freeze occurred.

At this point you have 2 choices, neither is fun and both involve Acer.

1 send it now and get charged for repair, they'll know its modded.

2 try to trigger fail safe and just plug it in, turn it on and let it sit and try to boot into android. After a set amount of failed /system or /boot reads it'll go into fail safe mode. Sending it under warranty in this state will have it repaired at no cost aside from shipping to Acer.

You'll know fail safe is happening when you turn it on, blue or orange light comes on but the screen is off and there is no vibration on power on.

Both ways:

Get onto the Acer site and start a chat with a rep, tell them what happened. They'll ask you to hard reset after verifying warranty is still in effect time wise. After it fails this, they'll give you the info on sending it in. For me it took 10 days to get it back from sending it out.

Edit: for anyone that can still boot but hangs up, recovery may still be possible but its a very small window.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
I started the thread and had an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and CM9 on my device when I sent it into Acer. The support person I got on the phone assumed I was running a Windows Tablet up front and when he realized I had an android tablet proceeded to ask me to reset it and whatnot. I ended up telling him that it just shows the boot screen and then goes black and I couldn't boot into android. The repair ticket said "won't boot". Got it back a week or so after sending it out.

The real trick is to avoid telling tier 1 / tier 2 support that you've done the technician's job and play dumb.

My A100 showed "unlocked bootloader" when powered on and the ACER logo was garbled (iirc this is the A200 boot logo) as well. I sent it in and only got an automated e-mail saying they had repaired the unit and when it would be delivered.

One thing I discovered the hard way is they shipped it to me requiring a signature. If you're like me and never home, keep an eye out for the tracking number from Acer so you can call the shipping company ahead of time and arrange your pickup.

Or if you nuke it. If mine does brick its getting a nuke! No way they'll be able to tell... muah hahaha

sent from your future.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
Not a good idea, since they won't be replacing EVERY single thing in the device, and if you filed the complaint on just not being able to boot, when they get it, it should at least power on - replacing the motherboard should fix it, if not they will notice that something has been done when it still doesn't work with a motherboard replacement ;) just try keep it sane hehe
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
How do you properly nuke it?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
I think he was referring to placing it in the microwave lol - most likely in short increments and testing until it no longer powers on, but no damage is visible to the naked eye
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kemonine96:
.... Ah. I dunno if I would risk that myself.

Also, they only replaced my devices motherboard. Came back with the same scratches on the case and exact same air pocket in the screen protector.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Nuking-recking all partitions so that no trace of root,modding,unlocking or any un-warranty allowed actions, thus rendering Acer unable to tell if warranty had been voided without a lot of work.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
Also creating the possibility for other damaged internal components upon return! Such as things Acer may not check like Audio, GPS, HDMI, Accelerometer, etc. Most likekly they switch out the components one by one until they see it boot up, I doubt they actually use every aspect of it before they send it back to you. I don't think nuking it would benefit you in the end.. Try and see :D

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for an update on Sprint's LTE rollout in the NY area specifically in the Flushing, Queens area. I know officially it won't be until at least 3rd quarter 2012 for official roll out (I think) in the NY area. But unofficially 4G WiMax was available in my neighborhood about 6-9 months before the unofficial roll out.

So if anyone can provide some feedback I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Prasanna.RS:
Hi all, I am planning to buy Motorola Atrix 2. I am from India. I have few questions in my mind regarding Atrix 2.

Here are my questions..

1. Are there any risks of bricking Atrix 2 while rooting (If rooting method is followed properly) ?

2. Which version 2.3 is available in India on Atrix 2?

3. I have downloaded One click root 2.3.6 from this forum. Is this applicable to All 2.3.6 variants of Atrix 2? I means, I saw Rooting Atrix 2 videos, all phones were US AT&T. Same One click root is applicable for Indian variant of Atrix 2?
