Hello,

I've got a Viewsonic 10s tablet with Advent Vega on it and also CWM.

I want to flash it back to stock so I can return it. (touchscreen issue --> known hardware problem)

I didn't make a backup of the original file

Is it possible to somehow reinstall nvflash and apply the original rom.exe file from Viewsonic?

Please let me know anything.

With kind regards

Bert

Hi!!

I was trying to update my sensation (from Personal Argentina) with Hboot 1.21 to Firmware 3.33 and always get stuck in HTC screen and boot loop...

Do you know how to do this?? Because all actuals ROMs are based on this Firmware..

Thanks!

This is an update package to install on top of stock odexed XWLPX rom. It install deodexed app and framework folders along with latest 4.1.4 siyah kernel which gives you root, SuperSU and busybox avoiding MMC_CAP_ERASE bug.

As always install at your own risk.

NOTE: Developers can use this deodexed app and framework in their roms. Just give me credits. :)

Installation instructions:

Download the i9100_XWLPX_Deodexed.zip and copy it to your sdcard.

Download the attached file and copy it to your external sdcard.

Install latest I9100XWLPX rom (you can check it in this thread) through odin.

Go to stock recovery (HOME + POWER + Volume UP).

Select install update from external sdcard and select the zip you copied in step 2 above. It gives you temporary 6.0.1.2 recovery. (Check this thread)

Install i9100_XWLPX_Deodexed.zip.

Reboot.

DONE. :)

Anyone got problem with Sim toolkit (mobile banking) not working?
[HTC One X] mr.dj26:
hey guys,

Im about to unlock my boot loader, im following the instructions from this thread.

Unlocking Your Bootloader

Words of warning - unlocking your boot loader will wipe your data partition

Things you have put on your internal memory will be fine but all of your apps etc will be gone.

my question is "Where is that internal memory?"

I did a factory reset twice and it erased all my pics, music every thing, weren't they in the internal memory?

Im sorry if its a weird question im confused and I dont want to go into recovery with no rom :D

thanks XDAs
[HTC One X] jam256:
I stand to be corrected, but the data partition is AKA "internal storage."

The "phone storage" is /sdcard.

So wiping data partition means apps and text messages disappear, but not music or video that would show up if you plugged into pc and used as mass storage
[HTC One X] mr.dj26:
thanks m8

how do I know if my pics and music are in the SD card or internal? I use mass storage to put my files on the phone.

maybe this sounds stupid but how dose the factory reset erase my pics if there in the phone storage (SD)

thanks again
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
They still always be on sd. As the phone stores all your pics videos etc on the sd partition. The internal 2gb memory is for apps.

I think when you factory reset it gives you an option to tick if you want to wrote your files or something
[HTC One X] jam256:
Simply put, if it shows up on your mass storage, it wont be affected by factory reset
[HTC One X] mr.dj26:
thanks guys, i really appreciate your help.

another guy also had the same problem, after rebooting the phone, a black screen comes up and we had to make a factory reset and it erased every thing even the SD

Thank you both :)

I've seen a couple threads and I'm a bit confused.

I know the new plan doesn't have wifi hotspot... Not like that service really mattered.

Was wondering for those who are on the new plan. Can you still tether?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I'm just gonna put my two cents in, I'm not on the plan, might get the s3 with this plan. But, from my knowledge, there is no way for them to know what's using your data unless you're on a stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. But rather get some hard feedback lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
I was wondering this very question myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Tethering is still working for me after I made the switch yesterday. Hopefully I don't get charged though.. even though I don't use tether, it's good to know that everything works on my phone. :) How would i know I'm being charged for it? I didn't receive any "warning" popups or anything like that before continuing.. do I just have to wait for my next bill??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
I wonder if they can develop some methods that could detect your tethering and block it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
I had the tether feature free when i upgrade to 5G and now I'm on this new plan and the rep told me that i still keept my free tether and my other line will have it free as well...

but gosh Tmobile just got bad after they close the calls center with reps I had to talk to 4 people for one simple reason cause none of these new foreign knows what their talking about. so im not sure if i still have the tether will see.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Only by puting an APP on your device. I know a little bit about networking, and thats the only way. packets are packets. the user-agent is the only way to see what type of browser it is. but like i said before, a lot of android browsers use the desktop user agent.

But why would/should any carrier stop it? Especially if you are on a tiered plan. Its YOUR data, use it how YOU want. PERIOD. wethere you are streaming on your laptop, or streaming on your phone and using an MHL conector to your TV, its STILL streaming. Period.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Just got this, and i'm on the plan. also using stock rom.. http://offers.t-mobile.com/tethering/upsell.do?source=pcweb

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
For those unable to tether and being sent to that page, You could try using a different tethering app. Try foxfi, my dad is a tmo employee and doesnt have tethering on his plan, but says tethering works perfectly fine on his stock unrooted t989 with foxfi. I might also recommend cwm tethering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davwman:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmakk2055:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmakk2055:
If its unlimited data why it shows this? Anybody else get this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Mine shows this on the website..

DMolina ツ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
They need to show that because they need a

fixed number. It's the same with minutes, i remember a while ago they had something like 999999 minutes. That's a long time ago though lol. But do you honestly think you'll use 10000GB lol

Yeah thats from the mobile site? They're probably slowly updating yo hide the number and showing unlimited instead... TMobile aren't exactly the best at web developing... Remember their slow and crappy websites when trying to check your usage. It's a tad better now lol.

Anyways, it looks like there are mixed reviews, but i assume native tethering is no good but some 3rd parties are still good? Keep the feedback coming fellas
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:

Are you guys seeing faster speeds with the new plan? I know it seems crazy but I've seen a nice increase.. funny this is what I used to get.. and haven't for a while.. thought it was the rom...

You can see in the pic the very bottom of the list is before and the top few are from tonight.. I switched my plan went into effect yesterday.

Granted my ping defray went up..

Edit.. btw the very bottom one was when i was throttled before my cycle reset..

Attempted using fox if it works great on my nexus 7 when using pdanet tablet but strangely enough it only works on Bluetooth dun. It locates the network when using the hotspot feature but just hangs on obtaining IP address.

Tethering working for me on cm9 now, don't work on stock Rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
That's probably it. Stock is probably no go unless using 3rd party. Going to change it right now and test it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmakk2055:
Did it work for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Couldn't change it through the website.. Probably because I'm on Android preferred plan. Tried calling in. 20mins wait. Tf... lol going to try chat service right now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
I recommend chatting with them, I spoke with 4 reps because none of them were smart enough to know about this plan...

by the way on stock rom tether didnt work but im on infamous now and it works like a charm.

one thing though its that it runs my battery like crazy and sometimes tether cuts off and have to turn it off and on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Yeah i normally talk with the retention department..they're usually the knowledgeable ones. I recommend talking to them for everything. Chat works great too, i usually do either.

Btw tethering is always like that. You're projecting signal and data out so it'll drain like a toilet

Edit: native tethering works on aokp and i believe any custom ROMs. Need 3rd party for stock i assume
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
whats the best 3rd party app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:

t-mobile wifi hotspot on stock rom work's!!

:angel:Hi I have the T-Mobile wifi hotspot working on my t-mobile samsung galaxy s2 T989 and my phone is rooted.What you do is use titanium backup to freeze Tethering provision I did that yesterday right before my account reset for the new billing cycle and here is the picture.If you don't have the paid version of titanium backup then use the free one and make a back up and then uninstall it.Because my t-mobile wifi hotspot is working great on the stock ics 4.0.4 and I rooted it and debloted it and that's it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chestbrah:
ok im new here and have a few questions. Let me see if I understand this correctly. First i root my phone, then i buy titanium backup pro and freeze tethering provision. Then you said something about debloted it. What do you mean by this? Sorry im new to all this and would appreciate the help. :)

Also, what app do you use for the wifi tethering?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
This old news. News when this phone came out. Were talking about the new classic plan that has unlimited data.. Hotspot does not work if you switch over..

Is there a way to have wifi tether work with just the stock rom? I heard people get the popup message from tmobile with foxfi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ROM_MAN:
What i mean by debloating taking off all the pre installed soft ware like all of tmobile stuff you don't want and what ever else you don't want that samsung installed.But becareful what you uninstall unless you know what it does.You can buy titanium backup if you want too freeze it or use the free version of titanium backup to uninstall it.You can use the free version of titanium backup to make a backup of the app then uninstall it.Then if you want it back just go back into titanium backup and find the app that you uninstall and click on it and hit restore and it will put it back.But you have too root your phone too do any of this.

The app i use for tethering is the stock t-mobile app that came with the phone after freezeing that the app work's fine.

Yes I know what your talking about and this work's if it don't work for you then you can use this app it give's me the same speeds as the built in t-mobile hot spot WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.2-beta1 BETA this version rock's on my t-mobile samsung galaxy s2 ics 4.0.4 stock rom and it has a yellow icon.

WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.2-beta1 BETA You can get this app or any version from here

yeah they somehow figured out a way because I am on AOKP and I have been on this new pan since the 5th of sept and I have been on aokp also forever since ics now I am on JB but anway it was working up till wensday at about 4am then it stoped in the middle of using it I got transfered to the tmo tethering page I just updated my rom to the latest aokp nightly and still no go I also tried different user agents in chrome and I tried different browsers altogether and still nothing. I looked in titanium and the only thing that might be is something called data usage (policy&stats) I tried freezing it and deleting it and it wont let me do either so that might be it I dont know. but this sucks its my data i pay for it i should be able to use it on whatever i want damit

Got it working with a user agent switch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bradleyw801:
I have been looking into this issue a lot. There are several threads with information. But the simplest answer is that T-mo has decided to monitor our traffic. They are going to begin trying to block tethering if you don't have it on your plan, by watching your user agent string. This person explains it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26649587#post26649587, and he is right, although a few things have changed.

T-mobile was blocking anything from desktop. But the problem was, there were people legitimately using their phones browser to look at desktop sites that were being blocked. So what it appears is happening now, is that T-mo is monitoring, and if your usage of desktop sites goes over a certain point, they send you a warning text. If it continues, they eventually start re-directing the offending traffic to their upgrade page. You can still browse mobile sites, and I believe even while tethered.

I got the warning text, but I haven't yet been blocked. I downloaded orbot from the play store, and I am going to see if I have any luck fooling them with that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
I think this info is old. I can tether using custom roms without using any 3rd app. As long as you use a custom rom, they cant do anything to stop you from tethering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
That's not true. It's filtered by packet sniffing for HTTP protocol. Regardless your ROM. I believe the only plan T-Mobile is really cracking down on this is the unlimited plan. Any others they let it go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mojorisin7178:
yeah I can use the hotspot or tether if I change my user agent to android in chrome but there are drawbacks like no netflix and pandora or I think pretty much nothing with flash. And I think elesbb is right that they are only really cracking down on the unlimited plan because I never had a problem and within a day of switching to the unlimited plan is when it started to redirect me. Lets just hope that they get tired of paying someone 24 hours a day 7 days a week to monitor this stuff and they start to let it go. For now I will have to deal with the ****ty open wifi in my apartment building and if I am in a pinch I can just switch the user agent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Update. I'm on aokp jb. Using chrome, Never got the upsell page for the longest time..finally got it so i restored one of my nandroids and it works again. However i got the upsell page the next day and did the restore.. still upsell page. Interesting...

Solution: i used Firefox instead of chrome and works completely fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Does it really matter when you can bypass it with an app, if rooted?? Which we all are..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I couldn't get the 3rd party apps to work for some reason. I usually use native. Foxfi just wouldn't activate on aokp. Found it weird. Wifi tethering didn't work. Didn't try wifi tether yet because i used Mozilla and that was fine. I know there are other apps, but i think it's because i used a lot of data because of that one night i left torrent on and it downloaded 6gb... total 10gb so T-Mobile probably marked my account.

Which app do you normally use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I'm at 23 gigs and have go issues. I use WiFi tether for root users

User Agent

Tmob knows that you are tethering because of your web browser., in order to disguise it you need to go to the web browser settings and change the user agent in Chrome is call User Agent Spoofer and pick Opera 10 or any mobile web Broser and buuuuyaa

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Yeah i was testing which browsers they are blocking. It's only chrome.

New update: wifi tether that was posted earlier works great.

I did a complete wipe and installed a new ROM and I'm able to use chrome with native tether again. I'm thinking that TMobile somehow pushes something to the phone that creates the upsell page and a full wipe removes it. Just a theory
