[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] juzz86:
To shed a little light on the global unlock for you both, once the unlock code is received from VZW (or eBay, whatever) you install a non-VZW SIM and it will prompt you for the code. Once entered the phone will restart and connect to GSM networks. Once the correct APNs are set, data and MMS work across all.global GSM (2G) networks, and 900/2100MHz HSPA networks, which you'll find in Europe and Australasia.

I have a GSM unlocked unit and use it no worries in Australia. As mentioned before, performance is fine for day-to-day use, and the Incredible S (true GSM variant of Incredible 2) is one of my favourite handsets of all time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lamborg:
@david_hume

Are you saying that I won't be able to use 3G while on GSM network? Is it true, coz that might be a deal breaker.

Somewhere I read, you can "switch to WCDMA mode which is HSPA/3G". I don't know if this is true or if WCDMA mode will even work with a GSM SIM card.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
You will only be able to use 3g if the network uses the 900/2100mhz bands for their 3g. Even the vast majority of Tmo and ATT phones do not receive 3g on the other network currently.

Which carrier do you plan on using?

Sent from my ICS Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lamborg:
I'll be using it in another country. It uses 2100 frequency band for 3G.

I have another question.

If the phone is not unlocked yet, will a normal flash of a ROM is all that is required to unlock the phone to use it on abroad GSM networks or do I have to get the unlock code? My guess is flashing will not work, but I am confirming this.

Also, if I get a phone with a Bad ESN, will I be able to SIM unlock it and use the phone in other countries on GSM mode, or the phone need to have a Clean ESN in order to SIM unlock it? I am thinking of getting the unlock code from one of the websites that gives the code for some $.

1. It si not Laggy, GB is running very smooth and stable.

2. yes, and you can flawlessly run ICS.

3. try UKB.. its nice

4. you can visit Mobile shops or search in craigslist or in google, you will get many..

5. yes, Incredible2 supports both CDMa and GSM but one at a time...

I have already rooted my Droid 3( the system is Verizon 906) , but when I use adb to contol it, I cannot get it run on root directly. I need to exploit it and reboot my phone to make adb run on root.

How to make adb run on root directly?
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
So do you want any ADB command you send to the phone to have root privilege?

If you run ADB SHELL and then run su in the shell, you will get root privilege for that session (is that not enough for what you're trying to do?)
[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
It does work! Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PenguinJr:
Well here it is, my Xperia Arc S originally had a problem where the display kept turning itself on so i did some reading and apparently it might have been some software, so i tried doing a factory reset and that didn't work. So i tried flashing it on Flashtool but then i realised i couldn't because everytime i turned my phone off it would turn itself back on so i couldn't put it in boot mode. And now i can't even get past the Sony Ericsson logo when i boot up so i think of anything to do now because i can't flash it and turn it on. Please can someone help me.

Side note i did drop my phone in water a few weeks ago and there were problems with it booting but i thought it was resolved because they disappeared.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Phone cannot turn on itself. Unless you have charging cable attached and it goes to charging mode.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PenguinJr:
UPDATE: I was able to flash 4.0.4 firmware onto the phone after repeatedly trying to get it into flash mode but the problem still remains, the display keeps turning on by itself and whenever i switch the phone off i hear a small vibration and it turns itself on (with no charger attached), i'm thinking there might be a problem with the power button but i'm not sure.

I didnt drop it in water on purpose, i meant i dropped it and there were issues with it booting up, i left it in rice overnight and it was fine the next day

I now what you mean, I have same problem with mine. The screen flash like if it had unanswered phone calls its really anoying. My phone never had any accident until now as well.

hi ,

I had honeycomb beta leak using modaco guide ...and i would like to flash new rom.

Then i Downgrade from HC beta leaks or official HC OTA to Gingerbread using the guide and after that with [GUIDE][Flyer+View]Gingerbread S-OFF/Recovery/Permaroot i S-off rooted and put recovery.

now the problem is that if i install any new rom it does not boot . it stops on htc logo.

I used honeycomb/ics/jb rom but all something... can someone help me?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Wrong section. Development is for posting ROMs, guided, mods, etc. This should have be been posted to Q & A.

To flash Honeycomb ROMs, you need to be on HC, you can't do it from GB. They have different hboots. Use Globatron's guide to upgrade to rooted HC.

Okey, I join the club with cracked screen! Today I was wathing a movie with my girlfriend and one other friend, and the phone (white one) was laying in the middle of the table when all of us heard a little snap, I watched my phone and the screen cracked from the "return" button to nearly end of the screen! No one even touched the phone when that happened, and the screen wasn't on! It just snapped by itself. Going to call the place where I bought it as the first thing in the morning and ask who is responsible for that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Well, this is a loaded question, and I've seen it in various other phones' Q&A sections, but nothing comes up that specifically matches this phone.

Has anyone else identified any application(s) that cause the GS3 to spontaneously reboot - to the point if insanity? :confused:

I'm already on "Mike's 2nd Galaxy S3" and VerizonWireless was very helpful yesterday (??) and showed me how to do a safe mode start. I haven't seen that posted, so here's the trick: press and hold the power button until the "Samsung" logo appears, then press and hold the volume down button and quickly release the power button. After cogitating for a few minutes, the phone will come up in 'virgin mode', with "SAFE MODE" displayed at the bottom left corner. So I'm told it loads only factory-original programs in that mode, fair enough.

It still rebooted after about five minutes while we were checking things out. So, friendly S-O-a-B had me do a factory reset. :cyclops: That's cool, I have everything backed up with CWM and TiB and screen-shots of the layout, so it was actually trivial to get everything back. Never-the-less, before I could get through the cycle of updating my phone using the Google Market - er - "Play Store" - it rebooted yet again, this time while I was trying to answer the psuedo-random "Customer Satisfaction Survey" phone-call that you get when you have called tech support - sometimes. Call dropped, I felt the little twitch it gives when it warm boots into the quick-load vector and just said "F it!" and called him back and have yet another ("Mike's 3rd Galaxy S3") coming overnight on Monday. :eek: I've had squirrelly phones that were "new models" do weird things before, so no big whoop. Maybe "Door #3" will be better. I know #2 worked better until about a week ago than the original unit.

Just in case anyone wonders: flashing the original factory recovery mode forsaking the OC'd core gives no joy...

OK, I'm calmer, back to the original question: has anyone identified any common APK that makes the SGS3 go spastic? I'm thinking - in my case - since I got a reboot in the 'virginal safe mode' boot it's not going to help, but - just checking. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Reflash the stock rom via PDA slot in odin, then wipe/data factory reset in stock recovery!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Unfortunately I tried that before I called. I'm using "Route66", but - basically stock ROM + root and the Invisiblek OC to 1.89GHz. I tried backing down the OC to 1.80, then 1.75, and finally just undoing it, flashing it back to CWM 6.0.1, but no joy there, either. :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
does it reboot at the stock clock speed(1.5)? Also, you went back to the stock kernel and it still reboots?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Yep, yep, yep... Sure enough, I can flash the stock recovery and it still reboots, doesn't matter what I have in the RECOVERY.IMG

I've already done the factory reset and reprovisioned my phone twice, also. Fortunately unit #3 will be arriving tomorrow shortly after noon (I live so far out in the weeds that even priority overnight usually gets there around 12:30 or 1)... :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Ya I would flash that back to one hundred percent stock. That's really the only way your gonna find out if your phone is truly busted or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
tapatalk keeps force closing on my and once caused a random reboot . My screen goes black and unresponsive for like 30 seconds then says tapatalk stopped responding or something like that. When it rebooted it also went black and unresponsive for like a minute I was about to pull the battery then it booted back up. Not sure if your having a similar issue there are my $.02
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
I don't have it installed. I do have the XDA app installed, but while I'm working (like right now), I'm not able to use my cell on the network. :angel:

The thing is the new (2nd) one has about 75% of the crap I had on the original one, and I've slowly whittled that down to about 50%, trying to eliminate anything I thought might be questionable. I've not heard one person P&M about any problems running the "Route66" SYSTEM.IMG for root, or I'd go ahead and flash it back, too. Of course - "within the next 5 days" after receiving the 3rd unit, I'll certainly do that to unit #2, and remove all traces of ever having been anywhere but a factory original image, so they don't pop my plastic for $500 or so. I already did that once when I returned the first one.

Mine is XXKL3, i thought about flashing XXLM8... Possible with lates CM9?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Yes it´s possible. However I recently flashed XXLMB and the power consumption incrased in CM9. And because I flashed it togehter with it´s Modem, I also lost HDSPA. Now I´m back to XXKL3 like b4 and all is fine. HDSPA is also working again.

You need to flash either a firmware which contains the needed Baseband with Odin, or just and extracted Baseband. Then simply restore your backup of your CM9 build.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moronicus:
Since performance scales pretty linearly with the CPU frequency, OC'ing from 1.4 to 1.6 GHz means a 14 % performance boost. I'd say that's pretty significant.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
That's what you think. But it really isn't that.

Go try playing a HD game on the phone, how much difference do you really see between 1.4 Ghz and 1.6 Ghz?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moronicus:
Certainly I won't see any if it is GPU bound. But how often this is the case, I can't tell. I've never played any game on Android. All CPU-dependant apps will gain a 14% performance increase.

I just want app-switching, browsing and all the general stuff to be smooth, so I've OC'd it a little. It doesn't even hurt the battery life (unless you're running at 100% CPU all the time), so why not.

[HTC One X] skauk:
I had a JB ROM but wanted to goto stock HTC One X firmware I did a nandroid backup before install the custom rom so I did the following.

1: installed the boot.img from the clockwork backup

2: restored the clockword backup

3: installed the standard recovery.img

4: locked the bootloader

The whoe thing seems to be back to normal just wondering will I get OTA updates from T-Mobile UK now im back to my branded stock using this method?

Ony reason I ask is I downloaded an RUU for my Tmobile UK from XDA thread and followed a guide that involved:

1: installing stock recovery

2: locking bootloader

3: running the RUU

But trying this I just got a 140 bootloader error I am thinking that it maybe because the version I have backed up is 1.29.110.11 which is the bootloader I flashed but the RUU is version 1.28.110.7. Would trying to overwrite the boot.img of the later one throw up a 140 bootloader error ? its the only explanation I can think of as to why the Ruu process failed.

Only reason I wanted to try an earlier version of the Stock ROM was to make sure when it had booted up it would OTA update cause I think T Mobile UK latest version is the version 1.29.110.11 so I cannot test the OTA.

Do ou think OTA will work using the revesal I used. ????
