[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Pretty cool, but that doesnt solve my problem. My problem is that i used Voodoo sim unlock while the phone was running on Stock(carrier brand) firmware. Those ClaroPR firmwares have some kind of security that i havent seen on any other firmwares. If you try to unlock them on those firmwares and then flash it with non branded stock the phone will have an unlock nv_data but still ask you for the pin. What i want is to get rid of that. Since the phone still shows locked network simcard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
ok here's what you need to do, use sim unlock for JB, with that app you'll be able to use another SIM, also I used JB now which makes everything easier and the sim is completely unlocked

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Thanks for your help, will give it a try then. Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Ummmmm, nothing. Not even that app took the sim lock out. Even when it shows that is completely unlock it still ask for the sim unlock code and shows wrong sim card. I think its a mess that was created when i tried to unlock it when it was running the ClaroPR firmware. Samsung tool is not working on my box so im in deep trouble right now lol.... Well, if anyone have some other idea it will be good for me to try a different method before just paying for a code. Or waiting for the SGTool to do the job for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
did you update to JB or any other unbranded fw??? cause I think you have the same problem as telcel's fw, they lock the radio so you can't use any sim even though the phone is unlocked
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lamborg:
So I was looking at the Razr xt910 and it turned out, there are actually 2 models. One is XT910 and the other is the one marked with Verizon.

My question is, can I use the Verizon branded Razr outside the US on GSM network, those which use a SIM card?

I have seen some posts saying ATT and T-mobile won't work, but will I be able to use it overseas and on a local GSM carrier?

Any method by rooting?

Let me be clear, I am thinking of using a foreign SIM card so I get local call rates and NOT a US carrier with international roaming which has escalated call rates.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] COLGOT:
XT910 use GSM and XT912 use CDMA.. Each model can only use their network type because each network type use different frequencies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lamborg:
Possible, but a few days back AFAIK there was some news saying Verizon to get GSM usable on 912 with upcoming ICS upgrade.

Hello experts.

Just wanna how to switch to differents outputs when I connect my tablet to tv or another material.

Actually, when I branch my hdmi to TV, the output is displayed on both screen but I want to show only on TV

It will save my battery and I would do something else on my tablet while the movie is running on TV

Like a multi task output

Should I look for an application or it is not possible?

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I need to install and run Triangle Away but have one problem. As I have deleted the EFS partition on my phone, I can not get wifi or radio to work which is stopping triangle away from downloading and installing the add-on that it requires when you run it the first time. Does anybody know how I might be able to get this working. Can I download this addon from my laptop and then copy to phone ? USB is working, just not wifi or radio.

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Id Arcanum:
download and install perseus kernel (probably others also) and it shouldn't ask you for addon (at least it didn't on mine).. that is if you have ICS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshwalker:
whoops sorry. i did read the rules but missed that part. cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryLiao:
You deleted the EFS? I'd be worrying much more about that than resetting the binary flash counter... you essentially have a $800 MP3 player right now. Either way I think what you are asking for is the flash kernel, I might be able to get that for you in the morning.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammad.ali123:
If you have deleted efs folder,

install a stock official rom via odin.

It will re create your efs folder.

You will have every thing but imei

however you need to bother this if you want to send it for warranty repair. Otherwise you can send it as it is for paid repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshwalker:
hey thanks. Yeah. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I have an expensive mp3 player. Anything you might be able to do to fix this would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshwalker:
Also wanted to mention that I did not intentionally delete the EFS. This occured somewhere between install Omega JB (including Siyah Kernel post Omega install) and then down grading to Omega ICS. I do recall seeing the sdcard partition name change from sdcard0 and back to sdcard from JB to ICS though nobody has commented on whether this was any reason to be concerned.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david007co:
Hi...were you able to.recover your imei? How?

Im having the same problem due to.efs folder.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Why choose to resurrect this long dead thread? Search for the hundreds of identical efs folder threads and you will quickly learn that there is no way to recover the efs unless you made a backup. Take it to a repair centre and have them recode it for you, make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.

I have an R800i and have tried flashing Ice Cream Pureness following the instructions in the first post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1822118

I was on stock 2.3.4 and this was my first attempt at flashing a custom ROM on this or any other SE phone.

Everything seemed to go well until the reboot 'failed'. I followed all the instructions and after number 7 whilst still in CWM I tried to reboot. It only got as far as showing 'Sony Ericsson' logo and would not boot any further. The screen is on in so far as there s a very faint light. I have tried removing the battery and rebooting but without any success. The phone is recognised by Flashtool but there is no functionality. When I go into the Fastboot Toolbox and check Current Device Status the log shows 'Device Status: Not found'.

I'm not sure if its relevant but I had not updated the Kernal - that was to be the next action.

I have looked around the forum for similar situations but haven't found any answers. Can anybody suggest how I would get back to stock. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Its my sons phone and he is going to give me a lot of stick if I have borked it completely.

Ive been looking around throughout the forum and I cant seem to get a grasp on which Radio gives the best speeds and what rom should it be running.

Should it be a Stock Rom or should it be a Custom rom?

If so, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, or JellyBean?

I'm running my note on simple mobile (same things tmobile) with the blackstar VI rom and the latest ics blaze radio. I get sometimes 9mb download in miami and 2 up. it has some hiccups like dropping data and the picking it back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyo123:
CyanogenMod9 and included kernel are stable, good set of extras added to ICS, the modem (I think it is stock), works well. Seems like it is still a little early for CM10 (still some areas that need to be imporved). Only drawback is that it does not include Touchwiz Intercase however, 3rd party apps bring back the pen functionality (for notes and drawing).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vaportrail36:

I use this Liquid smooth ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1863291 ) it's awesome! Do a backup and load with TWRP. And I use the latest icsblaze modem. I get H+ but it never says 4g am I doing something wrong? I get pretty good ~6mb speeds. Let me know guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] curgervending:
I've flashed stock and custom gingerbread roms (touchwiz), stock and custom ics roms (cm9, stock touchwiz, aosp, aokp), the t-mobile note rom, and various jellybean (cm10, slim bean, etc.) roms. I've flashed every radio modified for use with t-mobile from all the modem threads including the t-mobile note radio. At the end of the day, cm9 rom (stable or nightlies) / ICS blaze modem combination works best on my phone.

I live in NYC. I consistently get about 15mbps down / 1.5mbps up (sometimes 2.5mbps up) with this rom / radio combo. The only issue I have is that a phone reboot causes my speed to drop to around 600kbps down and almost nothing up (like 25kbps).

Reflashing the radio and driving around to allow my phone to connect to various cell towers gets my speed back up to 15mbps down / 1.5mbps up. For the life of me I don't understand why. However, if I don't do this, my speed will be stuck at 600kbps down / 25kbps up indefinitely. The good thing for me is the cm9 rom on my phone is pretty solid (I rarely have to reboot) and I commute everyday so (if I have a reboot) it's just a minor inconvenience until I start driving. Then my speed comes back.

So a few days ago an annoying white vertical line appeared on my phone when I accidentally restore an old backup and i've done everything trying to get rid of it, but nothing has worked. I know that is not a dead pixel problem because I had the same problem like 8 months ago with the stock ROM and when I installed the Unnamed ROM the line disappeared.

Download any rom u want. Do a full and complete wipe of system data cache and dalvik. Flash the rom. If it's a software issue that'll fix it. And if it's a hardware issue you'll know cause the lines will still e there. In which case see creepys return to stock stickies and send that phone back for warranty.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] momchi:
Hi, this is a question that has not been asked so far (searched and read many links) --

I have MB855 Photon 4G from Sprint, and want to leave them, but use it as GSM on a different network (T-Mobile or ATT).

So far I know:

1) I need to have the bootloader unlocked to flash a new radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664212)

2) have to actually do it...

But, the problem is that I unknowingly updated to xxxx 245_13 (latest as of today) OTA (over the air) update from Sprint sometime in July or August.. and now I can no longer unlock the bootloader, or can I?

What if I just used RSD update to flash the stock SBF to xxxx_198_7 (sunfire Sprint rom)?

Would that bring me back to "2.3.4" build? Has someone done it?

(I see no relevant answers that are more recent than July/August)

Please, help me understand why that would not work?

:confused:

My phone is rooted and has the bootstrap recovery, can I flash something through it instead?

:eek:

History

Verizon Wireless location in Miamisburg, Ohio.

Verizon Wireless traces its roots to Bell Atlantic Mobile, NYNEX Mobile Communications, AirTouch Communications, PrimeCo Communications, and GTE Mobilnet. Bell Atlantic Mobile and NYNEX Mobile Communications merged in 1995 to create Bell Atlantic – NYNEX Mobile,[7] and in 1997 their namesake Baby Bell parents followed suit to form the new Bell Atlantic and their wireless subsidiary was renamed Bell Atlantic Mobile. Bell Atlantic Mobile and NYNEX Mobile Communications were created from Advanced Mobile Phone Service, Inc., which was a subsidiary of AT&T created in 1978 to provide cellular service nationwide. AMPS, Inc. was divided among the RBOCs as part of the Bell System Divestiture.

For some reason this kind of stuff pisses me off. It is only guaranteed to lead to companies tightening the screws on customer service and warranty support for those with REAL issues. I remember VZW being a lot more willing to swap it out for a different device if people were having repeated issues with another, yet now in most cases you have to almost annoy the crap out of them for a sustained length of time to get anything done. It's not just VZW, you see this happening everywhere. I don't claim to be an angel when it comes to this but there is a limit IMHO.
[HTC Rezound] Redwolf379:
This is definitely not the right way of thinking, in my humble opinion. You do realize that you're getting a $600-$700 device for way way less than that because VZW and other carriers take a bet that they can recoup their loss with your service and future upgrades. This "screw them" and lie to get free replacements will only drive higher costs on devices and service. Not to mention its just straight up dishonorable.
