So I am an avid audible user but have the issue I like to flash roms. This usually makes it so that Audible thinks I have maxed out my number of devices on my account and I have to call them to get them to reset the number of devices. Does anyone know how I can still update roms when they require updating, retain root, and not have audible think I have multiple devices attached to my account?

yeah I'll contact zedo. I just need a Rom that's TouchWiz and good on battery. which means Syndicate Rom is out lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You're thinking about unlocking your phone. Why? Travel out of the US, try other carriers, resale. Can you hurt your phone? No, and its easy. Is this something you have to do everytime you flash a rom? No, its a permanent, one time process. Do I need to revert to a stock rom to unlock? You can easily find out.

First, go get your unlock code. Now they are free direct from at&t. You can call customer service or use the live chat on at&t support site. See this thread (credit goes to mucus_android):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30664587

To see if you will need to revert to stock either (1) put in a non at&t sim and boot up. You should see:

Or (2) on the dialpad #7465625*638*# and see:

If you don't see either of these screens you will have to return to a stock rom and modem to unlock. After you enter the code you will see

You can return your phone to your preferred rom. Network lock is permanent. Flash all you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mucus_android:
That looks about right to me!

Everyone please get the word out that you can unlock your phone yourself! No need for a middle man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sarcosis:
When I called on the phone, the person just asked if I paid full price for the phone or if was an upgrade. I told them I traded with some one and then she just tried to get the unlock code. A minute or two later she came back and told me it was successful and gave me the code right then. I punched in the code with my AT&T SIM using the code rangercaptain listed above and it just worked. No carrier code needed. I'm not sure what happened there, but it seems like they will give it to you either way if you can unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mucus_android:
does anyone else wonder if the unlock code is imei specific or if it's a generic?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
As the instructions say, use other carrier's sim or use the dialer code given to access the network control screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mucus_android:
yeah, being imei specific would make a lot more sense.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redeuxx:
So is there any ROM that will allow me to enter the IMEI code aside from stock? I don't have access to a non-AT&T sim and using the keypad doesn't seem to work on SlimBean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaulF8080:
I think the unlock code is is for unlocking SIMs, not for unlocking your phone. The code is only useful when you plug in a non-AT&T SIM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
When you enter the code you are removing the lock to at&t's network. It is permanent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If you don't have another carrier's sim, why would you need to enter the code to unlock it from at&t network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redeuxx:
Because I will be out of country in a month or else why would I want to unlock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If the dial code in the OP doesn't bring up the unlock screen another sim won't either. You will have to make a nandroid, then flash a stock ICS or GB rom, enter the code and unlock, then restore your backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaulF8080:
Thanks, that makes sense. I find the term "Sim unlock" confusing. "Network unlock" is better, then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Agreed. Sim lock is from the old days when your personal info and contacts were stored on the sim card because most phones didn't have much ram.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If it was, how would that help us?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpcdeux:
Because then you wouldn't have to buy a code, you could extract it from the phone like Captivate, vibrant, infuse, etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The /efs folder contents are different from all the other Galaxy models. Because of this, I don't think the code is in the phone. That's probably why the unlock app you suggested doesn't work for this model. Just my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
How can you tell if you are unlocked after you enter the code in the dialer and don't have the new carrier sim card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You will be. If you entered a wrong code the phone would give you an error message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
Already unlocked!!!!!!!!!!!

OK so I did all the Steps without a sim card and kept getting a "Network unlock unsuccessful". I called AT&T rechecked my IMEI with them verified I had the right unlock code like four times and still kept getting "Network unlock unsuccessful", finally they gave up and said I needed to do it with a diffent carriers sim card. Today I used a buddies Tmo card and it just worked never prompted for unlock code. My phone was already unlocked from the store?

The steps to flash a radio aren't always 100% clear, however after a bit of Googleing, one can easily find the steps.

Welcome to the community! It seems like you have a grasp on what you want to, which is awesome.

I won't give you all the background info on rooting as it seems you just want to know how exactly to do it.

I believe this thread will give you all the info to get you rooted:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-hacks/216562-droid-razr-utility-1-8-a.html

Matt's utilities are pretty much the standard right now. Easy to use and effective.

Now, once you're rooted the sky is the limit. I haven't personally run JellyBean but as I understand it, it's not fully functional. I could be wrong but JB isnt that much of an upgrade, just a few new tweaks.

Please feel free to ask any additional questions!

This is an old version, apk CSigner can now decompile and compile apks.

See the new version here:

http://www.coolestech.com/android-ethical-hacking-could-get-any-easier-apk-csigner/

I’ve recently joined Android Developers and will be publishing CoolesTech app soon! All went fine until I had to self-sign my app (personal private key), and that’s what was like a nightmare (although it’s relatively easy); test keys worked like a charm when self-certificates failed… But Google does not allow test certificates as you may have noticed.

Whether you are new to signing apps, or getting “application was not installed”, then you’ve finally reached the correct place!

I have tried signar 1.3 and signer 0.3 but after my app seemed successfully signed I still got "application not installed.

So I have created my own tool, called "CSigner" that only runs in windows and comes with 2 versions (32-bit & 64-bit)

The only requirements are Java and windows...

I'm posting it here just in case someone goes through what I have been striving to achieve...

Guys.. i know this is stupid... bu im new to android...

Im using Micromax A73 which comes with Gingerbread 2.3.5. After lots of trial and error I successfully rooted and flashed a cwm on it. Then I tried to install custom ROMs (CM,MIUI.JetMOD etc) on it. But every attempt was unsuccessful (status 0 and status 7). Then I tried to port them using kitchen tools. But same thing repeated.. Now I was thinking of flashing ROM by fastboot. But fastboot devices not showing anything. Dont blame my drivers because adb devices is detecting my device. Now I came to know that I have to set the device in fastboot mode. But when I do

volume up+power

it goes to a loader with PCBA test, Full test, Item test, Test report, Clear Flash, version and Reboot. And when I do

Volume up+Volume down+Power

same loader appears. And when I do

Volume down+Power

CWM recovery loads. In both the loaders

fastboot devices

the phone is not detecting. And the white bootloader screen which i found in some YouTube videos is not in my phone. Now I have following confusions..

1. How to port ROMs ? (in detail)

2. Where is my bootloader ?

3. How do I get into fastboot mode ?

4. Should I unlock my bootloader before I flash ROMs ?

5. I can overclock my cpu upto 830 MHz... So can I flash CM9 (ICS) in my phone ?

6. Why am I getting errors in cwm recovery ?

7. What is fastboot and HBOOT....?

Happened to me twice on apocalypse, twice i was overclocking. It froze (while running several apps at one time and a 3d game the second), had to reboot by holding power, when it turn back on it was like i just did a factory reset, all apps except for system apps where gone.

It might be related to overclocking with firekernel on some devices, mine was 5830L with ktm baseband.

it happened to me on the apocalypse rom, using firekernel. could it be firekernel that is causing this ?????
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanhassan:
Its not a known bug of firekernel, but try not to OC. You can install another Kernel like blackhawk to check if it was the kernel makign the problems. In the future keep nandroid backups, coz they backup all ur apps too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
I can confirm that with blackhawk kernel the problem was gone. It seems that on a few devices or basebands, when overclocking with firekernel causes this unintended factory reset.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Madtowndave:
Hey all,

TLDR; I'm budget consious. Do you recommend a $50 refurbed Note for upgrade now, or wait for a refurbed S3 or HOX upgrade?

I'm currently still on the i897 Captivate running CM10 nightlies. For the most part pretty happy with it (GPS is of course spotty), but I've been sitting on an upgrade waiting for something good (read: cheap) to come up on the Note or S3.

AT$T currently has a deal for $50 refurbed Note (+2 year renewed contract) apparently upgraded to ICS.

I'm wondering what thoughts you folks may have regarding this deal and/or how the Note is post-ICS upgrade. I'd almost certainly root and flash a custom ICS or JB ROM immediately, but I see there's been reports of issues especailly with GPS on the Note in ICS.

I also see the DEV support on the i717 is excellent and I recognize many names here from folks who moved on from the Cappy...so that's great, but I'm really hoping for a solid phone with no obvious flaws like we all know the Cappy had with the GPS woes.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Can't go wrong with the note. A refurb goes through quality checks that will ensure it's like new anyways, and you'll have a 90 day warranty where I assume you'll be able to keep exchanging for more refurbs until you get a good one if you get a lemon...which you probably won't get a lemon.

HOX is a good phone, but I'm impartial to Samsung due to their screens and how friendly they are to custom developing. The screen on the note or the gs3 are untouchable by any other phone on the market imho. Its pretty much impossible to hard brick this phone if you dont flash anything you shouldnt, ie from the international note...so long as you stay here you can recover from most anything you mess up. GPS is amazing because the note has both agps and glonass functionality...super fast, super accurate locks. If you can handle the size, get the note, hands down. Even if it seems a bit large, most people quickly grow accustomed to it and can't see themselves going back to a smaller screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
I agree with all the above posters - the note is a fantastic device and a steal at $50 (I wish I payed that for mine). I haven't had any gps issues on ice or jb. But i would definitely play with both the note and the S3 before making a decision.

Just out of curiosity, how much is a refurb S3 or HOX?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Madtowndave:
Thank you all for the replies.

I am sorely tempted...went to the local AT$T store and determined it will fit in my pocket. That would have been a deal breaker!

To the previous poster, there are no S3 or HOX refurbs at AT$T yet. For a long time, the Note refurb was ~$200 on their website and suddenly dropped to this price quite recently which obviously is making way for the Note2's.

Agreed on Samsung. HOX was under consideration b/c ppl say the build quality is good and Costco had them new for $80 and no upgrade fee. However no external SD or battery access was a big turn off.

After my initial experience with the Captivate of having an essentially crippled phone on 2.1 I swore them off...until I got tired of waiting on Froyo and discovered all you fine folk at XDA. Obviously now I've come to appreciate the Cappy for it's amazing flexibility and unbrickableness unless you screw up bootloaders. Who knew I'd get all the way from 2.1 -> 4.1.1 on this thing???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
God I loved, er, still love my Cappy. It's my dad's phone now but every time I'm back home from my college town I mess with it still. The Note shares that same unbrickability, so you'll be happy with that. What I would love to see is Cappy styling brought back with Note size...mmm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Madtowndave:
Pulled the trigger today. Even got AT$T to waive the $36 activation.

Thanks again all for the opinions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Iph0ne27:
$50 for refurb and nearly $100 per month for service is not a good deal. Buying the note outright and getting h2o or straight talk at 40-45 per month is better investment IMHO I did that buying the iPhone 4 for $65 refurb and I paid for nearly no data and nearly $85 per month with 200 text at the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Madtowndave:
Yeah, if it were just me on a individual plan I'd agree with you, but I'm on a family plan with 2 lines and we have a 24% corporate discount on the voice...so when we average out the per line cost it's about $55/line/month...Straight Talk is $45/line/month so I'd need to buy a phone outright for ~$240 (net $10 difference/month * 2 years) which might get me a used Galaxy S2 on Cowboom, or roll the dice on eBay for something a bit nicer (maybe).

Trust me I've done the math and unless I'm missing something, AT$T 2 year service plan is about best I can do now.
