Unable to understand the process

I have purchased an Samsung Focus S i937 locked to AT&T. I have purchased an unlock code and have successfully unlocked my phone. Im also unable to use the Internet Sharing feature of my phone. Firstly, I am not a technical guy hence im unable to understand the process stated by you. Secondly, I wanted to find out that does following the process given by you, expose my device to get BRICKED as I am able to understand that involved a JAIL BREAK of the device. Does it have any other side effects.? Like effecting the radio signals or any other such problem.

Thanks
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
ok, first things first.

You won't brick your device, at worst a hardrest all remove all changes you can do, our device, the focus S, isn't fully unlocked, so there are limitations to the amount of damage you can do by arseing it up. With that behind us you have to learn what you are about to do, there isn't a simple way.

So, start by knowing these basics, then read through the guide, any bits you don't understand feel free to ask.

1, AT&T locked your internet connection sharing, so you must re enable that

2, To enable ICS, you must make changes to the registry

3, Microsoft locked you out of making changes to the registry, so you must gain access to do it

4, AT&T left a security hole allowing us to make changes to allow us to change things like registry

5, using that hole we can install software that will give us more access, that software can then allow us to remove the AT&T lock on ics

These things you must do, there is no magic answer, there has been some short cuts made but this in some cases has had a negative effect, such as losing 3g, doing as I said will not have any effect on your signal or anything else
[Samsung Focus S] 7carisfast:
Have you guys noticed any of the following....

issues after the above procedures were applied (a big thanks to all the brainiacs who know how to hack this stuff):

Slowed Internet Connection

Lower Strength of GPS Signal

Less accuracy and trouble sometime finding location

Less accuracy while using maps because of the above statement

Not complaining, just curious. Thanks to all.:good:
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
theres nothing in the code that should have done that, the XML import only fiddles with interop unlock

im not 100% sure what WTT changes but I know the entries it should be fiddling with and shouldnt make any difference, although its been suggested the ICS code does mess with the 3G signal ive not heard anything at all to suggest that it effects GPS as well.

See This Thread for details, ive copied the relevant bits here but all thanks should go to those on the original thread

Option 1

---- 11.3. If your device is not locked to a specific operator, you can use the Samsung Network Profile app (for 1st generation) or Wireless Manager (for 2nd generation)

-------- 11.3.1. Uninstall the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.

-------- 11.3.2. Download and install the latest version of the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app from the Marketplace.

-------- 11.3.3. Open the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.

-------- 11.3.4. Select a different Network Operator.

-------- 11.3.5. Now Select your own Network Operator again.

-------- 11.3.6. Exit the Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.

Option 2

Resolve Samsung connection problems

A lot of Samsung owners have complained here about connection problems. They blamed Interop Unlock, but apparently this has more to do with enabling "Internet Connection Sharing" than with "Interop Unlock". You should be able to recover the connection, apply this:

1. Start Diagnosis App> *#32489# ***DOES NOT WORK ON i937***

2. Tap "Back" 2 times to go back to Phone Control

3. Choose: [7] Network Control

4. Choose: [1] GFC

5. Choose: [3] Setting Cancellation

Wait for it to say success, then reboot.

GPS is a completely passive function, I don't have a problem with this, HSDPA may have issues for reasons unknown but using this method doesn't effect mine, perhaps its carrier specific..
[Samsung Focus S] 7carisfast:
Thanks for the info. I'll see if it helps. Just as FYI, the code *#32489# does not appear to work on the i937.
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
indeed, so it would seem, many of the diagnostic codes have been disabled which is a pain, even the ones that are left don't always do what you expect them to do :confused:

8773 update

What if I have already updated to version 7.10.8773.98, is there any other possible way? I don't need any other features. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
If you have updated the OS and NOT the samsung firmware then reapply the windows break interop unlock, be sure to keep it off the inernet by disabling all coms and then apply the relock prevent xap. if you have applied the Samsung firmware and didn't have it already unlocked or you didn't have a back up, your screwed
[Samsung Focus S] kholio88:
First of all I just want to say thanks that you're trying to help me, but I just didn't understand many things u said, I'm not really into technical stuff, but I'll tell you what info I have, in hope of u helping me better.

I don't live in the US and I bought the phone from ebay and it was unlocked and it works perfectly over 2 carriers here in my country, and I have never encountered any problems with it except for the internet sharing feature.

And about 3 months ago the phone notified my to a system upgrade from version 7.10.7740 to version 7.10.8107 then immediatly to version 7.10.8773.98. now I'm guessing these are OS firmwares not samsung software.

but I've noticed something, when I setup my phone for the first time I used a US hotmail account but before I connect to the internet the ICS feature worked, but once I signed in it gave me the dial 611 or go to att.com/mywireless message.

So I am guessing if I restore the device and sign in with a non US hotmail account may result in the feature to be unlocked. The only thing keeping me from trying this because I'll have to redownload all my apps again and reorganize my contacts again. if there's a way to avoid that or someone has tried it please do tell.

Again thanks for your reply.
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
ok, no problem

can you go to your device settings, in the about section can you tell me your OS version and your firmware version

Samsung Firware Update

Dazza,

Kudos for your help as you personally worked with me through this information. Not sure the Samsung update is a concern as I'm running fw2103.11.10.1 and everything works great.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Focus S] kholio88:
OS version: 7.10.8773.98

Firmware version: 2103.12.05.2
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
im afraid to say your firmware is locked,

2103.11.10.1 is unlock-able, im pretty sure anything from xxxx.12.xx.x upwards is locked down solid

I don't suppose you made a backup? if you haven't then there is nothing you can do

the Samsung firmware update was released as a separate update at the same time as the tango 8773 build, it tried to install on mine after the 8773 build
[Samsung Focus S] kholio88:
Found a solution =D

I'm really sorry for the late reply, was busy at work. but during that time I might have found a "Glitch" or a workaround to enable it :D and I have tested it many times and it works.

Well there are two ways:

1st one which is a sure thing:

1) Turn off the phone, then turn on again.

2) Once the phone is turned on, immediately go to settings>internet sharing and turn it on and BOOM there you go :laugh:

* I have tried this method over a dozen times and it works every single time :D

** The point here is that you have to enable it immediately after the phone is turned on, I think it happens because the phone doesn't have enough time to send the info. to the servers to know that it's not enabled by default.

2nd one which was succesful over 75% of the time:

1) Go to Settings>cellular>Turn Off, Wait like 5-10 seconds and turn on again.

2) Go to Internet sharing> Turn on, and enjoy :fingers-crossed:

***I don't know why do they work or how, may be it's a Glitch like I said before but the point is they do work :D

I hope that I've helped someone out there and Thanks to everyone who tried to help me :)
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
nice find, ICS is disabled locally only, it doesn't have anything to send, the only thing I can think of that makes sense is that the service hasn't been initialised and doesn't call the reg entries that disables ICS, by turning it on manually ASAP it perhaps catches it out. if you enable it, then disable it, can you still enable it again in that session or do you need to restart?
[Samsung Focus S] kholio88:
Well I tried that, but there is no definite answer to it, sometimes I turn it on and off on and off many times without needing to restart and throughout the whole day, and sometimes it works once and doesn't at the second try. So it all comes down to luck, but still better than nothing ;)

Now the thing is I'm afraid that when the 7.8 update comes, they would fix this glitch =D Haha.

Reference: Force unlocking Samsung Focus S i937 with Mango WP7.5, v.7720

Hi,

Would you please list out the above process in detail, including how the different software are supposed to be run with one another. I've downloaded and saved on disk WP7 Root Tools, XAP Deployer, WP7 SDK, WP Bazaar et al. Except the third, none of the others seem to be getting installed on the PC. Whereas, for WP7 SDK, there seems to be no installation wizard whereby the XAP Deployer may be enabled.

Would any help be possible please?

Thanks and regards,

pinax1963.
[Samsung Focus S] The Grand Pooh-Bah:
Neither of those options are working for me:crying:
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
did you install the full SDK? it should be in your start menu and is called application deployer, when you load that up it will ask you if your using the emulator or a device, you select the device, make sure your phone syncs with zune ( I think you will need to close it however but make sure it works first) If you installed the SDK you will have the deployer, you then deploy either of the XAP deployer tools that will enable you to install apps directly from the web, you will not need the sdk application deployer again, you can install root tools this way as well, then get bazaar which will enable you to get Win TT.

Root tools 1.2 now also includes an ICS enabler so you don't need to follow the Bazaar/wintt steps, just get root tools on either via the application deployer in the SDK or via an XAP deployer you have already installed.
[Samsung Focus S] The Grand Pooh-Bah:
Just got a brand new Focus S in the mail today.

Went through the process of the 2nd generation Interop Unlock successfully. Followed the instructions for method 1 to the letter. Used the tweak in WP7 Root Tools to enable internet sharing and got this message.

Connection not Shared

There's no cellular data connection to

share right now. Check your cellular

settings and signal, and try again.

I have a 4G signal and internet on the phone works fine.

The phone is on Straight Talk AT&T towers and works fine on the internet and telephone just can't get the internet sharing to work. We are losing our current Clearwire internet provider next week and our phone will be our only internet option

Ok guys any help would be greatly appreciated. I have Samsung Galaxy Vibrant from Tmoblie. Bought phone from my sister and got SIM card from Straight Talk. First time around instead of having my number ported over i got a number from some poor guy named Alex across the country. After many hours on phone with Straight Talk finally sent out another SIM card. SAME THING HAPPENS!!! So a month later and im still working with Straight Talk with no resolution and then i pulled Straight Talk Sim out of phone and put sisters old T moblie back in and now i have some new number with my area code???? I now believe its something having to do with phone... I understand new sim equals new number but they work!!! THEY ALL WORK AND THERE NOT MINE? Im running Cyanogen 7.2 with OS 2.3.7 Was going to re flash phone but if i have free phone service right now..... just wondering if anyone new that the heck is going on??

Hi,

In Flyer Forum for rooting step, I saw su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" and su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip both file are using for root the Flyer.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PVL_93_RU:
If you are on stock ROM - you need to first flash superuser_3.0.7_efgh_signed.zip, and then su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip through the custom recovery. If you want to install a custom ROM - they are already rooted, so there's no need in flashing either of the two

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theredspecial:
After going through 6 Galaxy Nexus due to screen/radio issues I will be receiving a S III next week. I'm happy about the upgraded hardware, but I have been on JB for a month and have always loved that AOSP look and feel. I'll give TouchWiz a try, but I already know I won't like it.

What's the best JB/AOSP ROM for the S3 right now? From my research I'm leaning towards CM10 (I've been running it for a week on my Nexus). Are there any major problems or bugs? Stability issues?

Thanks

Alright so Im not sure If im the only one who noticed this, but, My nexus 7 is suffering from very very minor screen lift. If I pop open the back cover, the screen is absolutely flush, no screen lift at all, but as soon as I put back the cover I get it again. I feel like the cover might be pushing on something that lifts the screen, I think that is our main problem.

[LG Optimus 2x] amaximov:
Anyone know an ICS Rom that has HW acceleration? I've tried Nova and Hellfire Sandwich but neither has that. Suggestions. Currently runnign stable CM 7.2.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimension2035:
The ISC drivers that are needed for acceleration are available, but are useless until LG releases some sort of Kernel to work with the drivers to my understanding. They are obligated to release the kernel and other stuff needed for developers to build a Complete and stable rom, but no one knows when. It should be soon tho, my guess 1week-1month maybe even sooner.

Here is the website, not sure if its official or not. As you can see, the kernel currently on the site is for v20(Gingerbread I think) we need v30 which is for ICS

http://code.google.com/p/openstar2x/
[LG Optimus 2x] Byteater:
Since we don't have the drivers, we can't have hw accelerated roms.. so you'd better wait for lg official update..

[LG Optimus 2x] amaximov:
Reply

@Dimension 2035 Thanks for the explanation. Is it safe to assume that when official ICS for p990 drops (its out for su660) then the dev team will have the kernel they need to work with?

@Byteater Definitely won't ever do an official LG update. When I tried upgrading to official Gingerbread my phone got bricked past recovery, luckily the guys i bought it from sent me a new one and so instead I just flashed CM 7 the next time and it works great... prolly better than official LG ICS when that comes out.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimension2035:
There is only one place I know that may bring ICS to the P990 and that is LG Singapore. If they do it will be Perfect!

[LG Optimus 2x] Byteater:
you don't need to upgrade the phone to official ICS. But the official release (with source codes) will help devs to extract drivers and to insert them in cm 10 roms ;)

we have to wait for the sources otherwize we wont know what to do with the binaries, also, 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 didnt suffer such drastic changes as its made obvious by the very small difference from 1 to the other, theyr both 4. something, so theyr almost the same except for some optimizations in jb if i didnt understand wrong. bottom line is, as soon as we get the sources well have a fully working cm10 rom in very little time, drivers are all thats missing since only camera doesnt work properly now...

cTouch

By Sepherian

No Phone, Just Captivate

Info: I have removed most of the phone files from the following ROM(s) to turn them basically into a cTouch (captivateTouch)

Phone Files I have Removed: Phone, Messaging, Modem, and any Icons related to a signal has been degraded to ONE pixel. Looks pretty goood.

Directions to flash:

1: NANDROID BACKUP

2: Download your ROM to your SD Card

3: Reboot into recovery, wipe data + cache

4: Install the rom

5: If Rom bootloops retry step 4

6: Prophet? ;)

How I will be updating:

I will evolve the method I use to edit and Build these ROM(s) over time. So they will be labeled by V2 or V3, and the name of the rom will remain the same.

Also, the ROM(s) will update shortly after the developer updates it. (About a week or so)

CM9 and 10 (if they end up being supported) will be updated when I feel like it.

Rom(s) Built so far: (Please read all three posts before downloading)

Superbean 2.8.17 Built by Nygfan760 Download: Click here

If you donate to me, put your xda name and a rom you would like cTouch-inized in the memo and I will put it at the top of my list to finish (even before updates)​
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
Fixes:

For ALL:

Apply Airplane mode AT ALL TIMES. If it is on you should see a little CT in your notification bar. If it is off, your antenna will be on and wasting your battery. For no reason because you don't want this phone as a phone.

Bugs:

For SuperBean:

If you go to Mobile Network settings, the application will crash. This will happen if you long-press airplane or data toggles because those settings are under Mobile Data

Works pretty well, although the phone app still exists. There are force closes from phone storage on boot. I was going to install titanium but there is no play store. Not very useful without it. I will try grabbing the latest jellybean gapps and pull the play store from that.

----------

Edit: pulled latest gapps for jb from cm wiki. Installed PhoneSky.apk and play store works like a charm. Why in the hell is it called PhoneSky? Backed up, froze, and un installed phone/messaging storage and have no more force closes from it. Did the same to Guard since it handles call and sms blocking, and also com.android.smspush. Everything is working well, going to figure out how to get rid of the phone app now.

Edit 2: As I'm sure you've already figured out, the Phone "app" is just an intent sent to the Contacts app, and I don't think removing contacts would be a good idea...I did find this though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5812909/removing-android-phone-app
