[HD2 General] nibaru:
I am looking at purchasing a HTC HD2 from ebay. Unfortunately, it was from a "batch of phones that had left the suppliers locked" The supplier eventually offered a refund and he also, maybe inadvertently kept the phone as well. When he now puts in the SIM card the message reads --"Service provider is locked. Please input unlock code." Apparently you can have these unlocked, but one site states that "This service will NOT remove your phone’s security lock" Can somebody please explain to me what this means? Is it correct that you can only enter the unlock code 5 times and then it is permanently locked? Is there any way round this? It seems a little strange that the phone provider supplied a locked phone, then provided the unlock code, which for some reason didn't work? I would appreciate any advice. The emei number appears to check out as far as it is not blocked. I will pay for an "official" check, if it appears that I can get round the unlock problem. I could always approach the original supplier and request an unlock code, and hope that their unlock procedure works the second time round?

Thanks
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Which carrier is this from?

Usually when you enter it wrong x number of times you now have to enter the "unfreeze" code, which you should be able to get from the phone provider. Most online unlocks also have the unfreeze code.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
What country & network was it locked to ?

Most can be easily unlocked via codes matched to the IMEI

*Do make sure IMEI on sticker in battery area matches that of actual mainboard IMEI when you dial *#06# to view IMEI on screen

Have entered more than 5 myself & been on a time out wait for quite some time ...

Security lock is to do with firmware certificate checking & nothing to do with SIM lock ...

I get all my codes from http://www.pdamagician.com/unlocking.html but if you tried some code already without success I would ask them if they have another code not matching what already been tried.

Other option is getting it unlocked via cable & software & this method can unlock SIM, CID & Security as required but you need to find a local shop that supports it ...

Also worth noting you need to be on Windows Mobile ROM to fully support the code unlocking.
[HD2 General] nibaru:
Thanks for the replies

Supplier was Virgin UK

Just to clarify:

"Service provider is locked. Please input unlock code."

​

•	This is security lock and can be unlocked by using:

​

o	code from original phone supplier (Different one in this case).

​

o	code from 3rd party online supplier such as pdamagician.

​

o	cable connection using specialist software at local shop.

IMEI sticker number matches mainboard

•	This can only be checked after unlocking security on phone as above?

I presume by windows mobile rom, you mean not running on other operating system such as android? The phone has never been used, so it will be on windows and therefore not be a problem?

Are these phones still available new anywhere?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I can still buy them new here in Bangkok but getting harder to find.

Vodafone UK should be easily SIM unlocked by genuine HTC code & if for some odd reason not software & cable will for sure.

I would get likes of pdamagician to verify the code you have already tried as suspect a genuine HTC IMEI database code will be different .

[HD2 General] Mister B:
about 8,000Baht 100% new but varies on shop & availability as stock is low but demand is not high here.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] budowski:
Hello.

Yesterday I decided to try out ICS and then upgrading to JB... I flashed the roms correctly but the wifi wasn't working at all so I went back to stock and the wifi wasn't working either! The weird thing is that I'm connected to the wifi and it says connected but I don't have internet connection and my laptop does has internet connection so I don't know what it is...3g is working well but my wifi is not. Also the text messages arent working well. For example I send a message at 7:10 am and when someone answers I get the message at 9:11 but it's actually 7:11 am so they go on top of the message I just sent instead of going down like it's supposed in a conversation.

Thanks in advance.

[Blade General] crackerer:
I have ZTE Blade V880 with CM7.1 signed ROM. All of the sudden the home button doesn't work.

I tried booting back to recovery and try the test keys and confirmed that the home button is working there so definitely not a hardware issue.

Tried booting back but still it wont do anything.

Tried reflashing (without wiping) but still a no go,

I downloaded KeyEvent Display from google play,all keys responds except the home key.

So in short, Home button works on clockworkmod recovery menus but not working when the rom is loaded.

Currently using Button Savior as a work around but I want to know whats really wrong and fix it.

(BTW, my first post so call me a n00b :D)
[Blade General] wbaw:
It's an old rom, try CyanogenMod 7.2 or the latest nightly build from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=blade You will probably need to wipe data too.
[Blade General] crackerer:
actual fix

Been using the same rom for months now. Its the first time it hapenned. I can't go using nightlies because I am using my phone for work. Any Ideas aside from wiping?
[Blade General] wbaw:
Not really anything you can do except wipe. You can use Titanium backup to backup & restore any important app data. If it worked before then that rules out your phone being newer than the rom, it must just be a weird bug. Nightly builds of CM7 are stable for the Blade, I don't think there have been any real changes for months (since just after cm 7.2) & there aren't likely to be any further changes.
[Blade General] crackerer:
Did a full-wipe and flashed cm7.2, home button now works. Its still wierd it happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrboyko27:
I completely ****ed up my SGS3 on Verizon. This is what happened: I was trying to go from an AOKP rom back to stock, rooted touchwiz. I forgot to make a backup on it right after I rooted it so with my conscious I decided to use odin and flash the full stock image then it went through the process. First flashing the boot files, then stock (e3) recovery, and then when it hit system (system.img.ext4) it failed with the error message "Complete(Write) operation error" and I have no idea what went wrong. Im using the original usb cable, ive tried 3 different usb ports (im on a laptop) and I tried redownloading odin and the stock image but it keeps stopping on system. Ive looked around the e3 recovery and found that if i have a signed update.zip I could bring it back to life but Ive been searching for 3 days and I cant find it. Could anyone provide me with a signed update.zip or otherwise help me with getting odin to flash everything? I will do anything except open up the phone and send it back to verizon.

SPECS:

Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII- White 16GB (With a now: Locked Bootloader)

Laptop: Song Vaio 2007 Laptop thats running Windows XP in VMware. (The computer itself is running Windows8 but Its buggy and I cant install the drivers)

If you need any extra information, just ask. Thanks in advance :)

Hello everybody ! Basiclly i want to ask if it would be a good idea to try disabling CPU rendering for a GB rom? Im currently on CM10 but really cant use it too much cause some games like Fruit ninja force close and cant even listen to music whatsoever. But the main thing that i dont like about GB roms is that they are very slow compared to CM9 or CM10. Would disabling CPU rendering make a difference? People say it makes a big difference .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roperp:
I've been successful rooting and flashing my phones to date, and would like to get closer to the edge, as it were, by flashing some nightlies. I enjoy the development process, and watching as small fixes take place, though the nightly process.

However, before I begin, I'm curious a little bit about the flashing and re-flashing process. Specifically, say I flash the latest CM10 nightly for my phone. Coming from whatever random ROM I've got on there right now, I'll definitely do some data wiping, factory resetting, cache wiping, etc. in order to ensure a clean install of the new nightly ROM.

Once I'd like to install the next nightly, should I repeat that wiping and resetting process, and in doing so, lose whatever account setup and customization I made (app installs, etc.), or is there a method of flashing a new nightly while keeping apps and other individual data I've accumulated in the process?

Thanks for all the guidance in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dugan1017:
I've recently come over to CM10 and here's what I did. I created a nandroid backup in CWM. I also backed up my apps in Titanium Backup. I use Apex Launcher, so I also backed up my desktop settings and launcher settings. Finally, I downloaded an app called sms backup and restore that backups up call history and text messages to my Gmail account as often as I set it to do so.

Once all my backups were in place, I used the cmupdater inside the ROM along with the goo.im app to download and install nightlies. The last three nightlies have been installed "dirty"...just flashed over the top of the old one, and re-flashed the gapps package I've been using. That process has been super easy and all my apps have still been there waiting for me after the update with no issues.

Today I dirty flashed the 10/10 nightly and immediately began having to SOD issues. At that point, I decided a full wipe was in order. I reset factory data, wiped cache and dalvik, and then re-flashed the nightly. Problem solved. I did have to go back in and restore my apps with Titanium and my text messages and call log with SMS backup after that, though. Start to finish, the whole thing only took me about 20 minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dugan1017:
I guess in short what I was saying is back up everything you want regularly and then go ahead and dirty flash nightlies on top of the old ones. If at some point you have an issue, that probably means it's time for a full wipe.

When it's time for a full wipe, you've got all your backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
When you flash a newer nightly you don't have to wipe, but as the other guy said, if you run into issues you should wipe something. For example, say you get an SOD, start by wiping the cache and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, format system. If that doesn't work, then do a factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roperp:
Alright. Just (dirty) flashed the 20121012 nightly so we'll see how it goes.

I wiped the cache just to be safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
I flash a new nightly at least one a day, more of I'm trying a new ROM. With titanium pro there is no reason not to fill wipe every time. It takes ten minutes to setup correctly. Why risk it

Some hours after setting SwiftKey as my default keyboard, the system keyboard is active again. Also, when starting the facebook app, many times I have to re-enter my login data. Sorry for asking this noob question but it gets really annoying. What can I do in order to keep my settings / login-data stable?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Are they (swiftkey and facebook) installed to the external sd card?

If so that's the problem. When rebooting your phone, it loads all internal data first, then mounts and reads the sd contents. If swiftkey is on sd card, it will load the default keyboard first (cuz it needs keyboard).

Move them to internal memory to correct the problem.

Is there some bug on cm10 roms that make the phone get deactivated and have the phone.android.com crash repeatedly?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abalakersky:
I've been Note 1 user since March and love the device and additional functionality, not to mention screen size. Thinking about switching to Note 2. But I need to make a decision on whether I will go with International Unlocked or with AT&T Branded. I am not all that interested in having LTE speeds, though if it is available I will use it. The question that I have is that I do like to have updated firmware available to install as it comes out, which is often enough with International version. With Note 1 International and AT&T were different devices with different hardware, so firmware for International would not work. What about Note 2? It's hardware will be the same, sans LTE radio. Would International firmware work on AT&T branded version?

So, to summarise, I am trying to decide on:

1. International with no LTE speed but better battery and quicker firmware update availability

2. AT&T Branded with LTE speed and probably lesser batter life and possibly usual carrier firmware upgrades slowness.

3. Since all Note 2 are the same hardware with exception of LTE radio same international firmware will work across all versions.

Anyone has suggestions?

Thanks,

If you didn't unlock your bl previous to 2.20, you're stuck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Restoring to factory just clears user data so you will still be on whatever software version you are currently at. In your case 2.20, which you are stuck at without root until someone finds an exploit. You can use a different launcher in the meantime though, I recommend Nova. In the future, and this seems like common sense to me, ALWAYS check to see if there's root BEFORE updating.
