WAIT.

Are you CERTAIN she has an i9100?

If she is a T-Mobile USA customer, then that is unlikely. Check the model number under the battery. If it says GT-I9100, then you are in the right place. If it says SGH-T989, then you are in the wrong forum for that device, and want to be here instead: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329

Hardware between the two phones are completely different, so firmwares, kernels, and ROMs are NOT compatible between the two. Flashing stuff meant for the other model will lead you to a potentially bricked phone.

Edit to add: luckily the root method linked above doesn't involve flashing anything, so you should be safe, and it might even work for you.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dy1984:
HI, I've bought my Galaxy Note from Amazon. Seller claimed it was unlocked. Box came with Hungarian manual, indicating it's European Note. I inserted Simple Mobile sim card and was able to use it just sweet from April until yesterday. Yesterday Android software automatically downloaded and installed 92.5Mb software update and rebooted the device, after which my phone started to ask "Enter Network Lock Control Key". This is weird bcause i already had a major 126mb software update earlier this summer and nothing like that happened after the previous one. So now I can't use my Note as the phone anymore :crying:

1. Does that mean that it was originally locked phone, which seller unlocked and sold me pretending it was originally unlocked version?

2. How can I remove the lock?

I went to local hack company here today, paid some buck for which they claimed they will give me the working keys. We tried those keys but they never worked :(

What do i do?????

Everything except cellular network works (wifi, mp3, apps, everything).

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrownvalid:
Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.

Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrownvalid:
Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!

Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?

Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.

The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrownvalid:
Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?

Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?

I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.

Sorry if this message way to long haha
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!

Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.

My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!

The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.

I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.

Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.

My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.

Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

You'll get different answers from everyone, many swear by blue kuban as the person above me. I had a bad experience on it. I'd check out AOSP ics, it's relatively new here but well developed. The jelly bean alphas are more stable than many of the ics roms to be honest

i recieved a usb wifi card and wow this thing is great here are some details.

just got this in the mail today trying to get a range of a block hope it will work out good.

it is a ralink 2070 and was only 9.78 free shipping and took 2 days to show up in also includes the antenna.

here is the link, http://www.tmart.com/80211N-150Mbp [...] 05549.html

i was also thinking on adding it to a dish and seeing how that will work.

here are some pictures.

i will keep a update on how well it works.

ok here is the deal, my neighbor half a block away said i can use their wireless in i could figure out the password so thats where backtrack 5 rc3 comes in.

using this wireless adapter i can get about a block range with a parabolic dish hooked up to it and half without the dish.

signal status as of now is.

half block range.

tansmit receive

link speed 48.0 Mbps 24.0 Mbps

throughput 0.000 kbps 44.125 kbps

link quality 79 % signal strength is -77 dbm

have gotten really good download speeds 20min to download a full movie.

the adapter is also 100% compatable with linux backtrack 5 r3.

it works 100% and is totaly worth the 10 dollar price.

Hey guys, I'm considering buying a EVO 4G LTE to run on MetroPCS, since the DROID RAZR I bought is incompatible with Metro's network. D; The reason being, MetroPCS doesn't accept MEIDs beginning with anything other than A00000 or A100000, and the RAZR's MEID begins with 99x. So my question is what does the EVO 4G LTE's MEID start with? Or, if you have or know anyone personally who has flashed the EVO 4G LTE to Metro, please let me know. Thanks in advance! :good:

Basically yes , it's reserved for system use. Not much you can do about it either.

As i know no their is amount of memory and disk size reserved to system to do its functions and to load the operating system from disk and to load important components of operating system to memory after boot the only way to have full disk size and full memory is to format system completely and by this the device will not even boot again will be dead only black screen no operating system to load at all do not try this at home or at school :):):):)

And, if I only want to see 1gb ram in settings?

Not 1 Gb for user application, only for see how android manage the system hidden application

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] el_venga:
Most devices share the integraded "sdcard" now. Is not a real sdcard like others ( older devices have individual internal storage), just a bigger eMMC which is basicly the same. It is partitioned in various blocks including our internal storage.

About the ram, you will never get over ~820mb of total ram available to use and that is on some cases, very few of them, on a 1gb ram device. Back when 512mb devices came out, usually the most we could get was about 200mb.

One very good word of advice. Just use the tablet and forget about how much ram is in use, unless you are having issues. When i got my first android, an HD2, i struggled for free ram. I was always on it but when i bought my first galaxy, i just flashed a good custom rom and forgot about closing apps. Android was taking care of it just nice and i was on froyo back then. I still tell people to not close apps, and uninstall task managers, also any antivirus (useless stuff). They do nothing. A task manager is another application running. Hope is good for you.

Cheers.
