[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bn1701:
Looks like I accidentally flashed a GB based radio onto my ICS based Telus T989D. Now it tells me to insert sim when its still there, has unknown IMEI, and no signal. Anyone know how I can fix this? I tried flashing back to the previous radio but no effect.

I got the phone from Telus, then I flashed ptmr3's Koodo ROM along with the Koodo ics stock radio. That combo worked pretty well, but I wanted to try some T-mobile radios, and now I'm a little stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Call company and have Sim registered to phone is one way to fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
The radio you flashed probably replaced the RIL files in ICS, which means you'll have to fresh install your ROM to get them back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bn1701:
Thanks guys, I ended up flashing the rom again. That seemed to fix it up.
[HTC One X] Dmitry N:
Hi,

It's weird that no one still hasn't posted this.

After upgrading to stock 4.04 ROM, it is impossible to dismiss an all-day event from the Lock Screen. Snooze works fine.

You draw the 'Dismiss' button towards the lock ring, you see some animation then, as though the reminder is going to be dismissed, and then you see that the reminder just won't go from the lock screen. It keeps reappearing no matter how many times you "dismiss" it.

So far, I only experienced this with event reminders from People Calendar (birthdays and anniversaries), but I'm pretty sure it can be reproduced on all types of all-day events.

Also, two notable things:

1. After you unlock the display and dismiss the event right from within the calendar app, you see the notification bubble at the bottoms of the screen saying "The event may be deleted". WTH?

2. No matter if reminder settings for People Calendar are set to "none", when you create or even change an existing contact, then the reminder for the corresponding event will be set to "12 hours".

Anyone?

PS: On 4.03 stock ROM, everything was perfect.

PPS: I even factory reset the phone and this didn't help either.
[HTC One X] Dmitry N:
Guys! Shame on you :)

Even Football confirmed that the issue does exist.

Pity there is no reaction or feedback from the community.
[HTC One X] Steve_God:
It's a feature, not a fault.

It's always been the case that 'all day' events in the calendar will display on the lock screen 'all' day.

Personally, I find it handy, and make use of the fact it stays there on the lock screen all day.
[HTC One X] Dmitry N:
I'm afraid you are mistaken.

The reminder "pops up" on the lock screen 12 hours before the actual event starts.

Also, it wasn't the case on the 4.0.3. stock. Everything just worked as expected.
[HTC One X] LlabTooFeR:
Yep, I can confirm that.
[HTC One X] Freakaz:
Yep, same here, the reminders are always to early for 12 hours and i'm unable to dismiss them.
[HTC One X] DilbertZG:
Same here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
Signup at http://samfirmware.com/, type "i9000" in the search field, choose the newest ROM released for you country/carrier, download it, flash it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xViBeR:
if u get the files, click here and download Odin v1.85 !

*Make sure Kies is not opened (Task manager > close anything named "Kies") / Battery is more than 80% / don't disconnect until the process is finished !

Open Odin, place the files like this: PDA (choose Code...) / PHONE (Modem...) / CSC (Phone...) and if there's a .PIT file you will see it (it's something like 512.pit). Then get the phone in Download Mode: Vol. Down + Home + Power, connect to pc and wait until appears in Odin. If nothing appears, you will need the Drivers. If appears, make sure repartition is unticked, and others two are ticked. Press START and don't disconnect until the phone restarts.

Done.

P.S.: That worked for me :)

Good job and thank you. You beat me to the finish line, I was also translating (slowly) the original Japanese post into English by tediously using [B]http://www.bing.com/translator/[/B] and [B]http://translate.google.com/[/B] as my translators.

For convenience, those who do this rooting method may also want to copy the ADB files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and AdbWinUsbApi.dll (or download and extract ADB_v1.0.29.zip) into the same directory where they put the rooting files SonyTabletICS-2.zip, Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip, and VpnFaker.apk.

Now I just need to get an unrooted Sony Tablet S to test this method on. Perhaps I will unrooted my granddaughter's tablet. :D
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:

[Sony Tablet S] WonderEkin:
Modify /data won't brick the device, you can wipe it if /data really corrupted.

For /system, those steps should be harmless

If you have and for Linux, then yes, should works on Linux
[Sony Tablet S] gordo79:
I can't get the restore settings part to work. All the files are extracted to the same folder as adb any ideas
[Sony Tablet S] WonderEkin:
I'm not sure this root will keep the installed app or not, as i've wipe my tablet many times to test the VpnFaker.apk...

But the steps will rename the original app folder and rename it back in the final steps. Should be no data lost.
[Sony Tablet S] WonderEkin:
Seeme you paste multi lines of command at one time, am I correct?

Those command should execute one by one.

You can simple wipe the device and redo again

or

Can you execute the following code in adb shell so that I can give you the fallback command?

ls -la /data

I ran the automated script, a few times, managed to get terminal emulator on, but not superuser, plus id "hid' all my apps installed on the tablet, not the usb storage partition..

then i thought i'd try to push superuser to the same folder as the term.apk (data//local/tmp/temp.apk) manually, it pushed successfully, then I decided to try the whole process manually, so I typed the first restore setings.ab line. tapped the "restore my data" button..

Then a toast popped up saying, "starting restore", i opened my app drawer and superuser was present, so i closed the command prompt, ran superuser, and I had root!

Hope this helps someone
