[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Rubenyz:
Flash stock ROM (odexed, not deodexed), UNROOT, and reset binary counter. Flashing and resetting through Odin 1.8x, unrooting through CWM, not stock recovery.

I thought it was described in (one of) the sticky threads.

Oh, and don't forget to remove your SIM and SD card !!!!

P.S.: Your IMEI is still under the battery.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] 10xian04:
same here i lost my IMEI number
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Styrke:
If we restore an IMEI backup from another phone whith the same model will it work ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] AkumDX:
No i don't think it is possible...every phone will have its own IMEI number...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Styrke:
yes and changing the imei is illegal :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
Take a look at Post #3 on this thread "Originally Posted by Doky73", it describes how to restore your lost IMEI number!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781191

Doky73 is the creator of the Galaxy Toolbox app so I would take an educated guess that he knows what he is talking about!

I would think that this would work on an S5830i because Galaxy Toolbox works and I can confirm that I have found my IMEI number at offset 0x80000 of the bml15.img.SAVE file.

Do this at your own risk obviously, I am only passing on information. As to what the technical legalities of it are I don't know quite frankly but obviously all you are doing here is restoring the phone's authentic IMEI number as opposed to changing it for a fake one.

Hope this helps those concerned!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Styrke:
Very useful to people who just corrupt their efs partition
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
Yeah I don't know if any additional steps may be required if the whole partition is corrupted but worth giving that a go first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] D3sRtH4mmR:
I have a notification that there's a firmware update but when it proceeds to install it gets stuck for hours with the message "checking the integrity of your firmware file"

I'm on stock JB 4.1.1, unrooted. I tried rebooting but same result. Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Have you tried deleting the cached firmware update yet? You could use the manual update process referenced in the relevant sticky thread (you do not need to be rooted or unlocked, nor do you need to have a custom bootloader). Do you have a clue on which update it'd be? (I'm asking because you seem to be on the latest and "greatest", and it might be a small firmware for the camera, and therefore not immediately super-duper-significant).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
i was bone stock with root, i flashed the latest cm10 nightly, i went to try and restore my data and sd ext and it says md5 mismatch, the i tried restoring the whole backup with the same result.

how can i flash my backup and get back to stock plus root? or restore my data?

edit, i dont have the play store app so i cant even get titanium backup to get my data
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon33:
You should have made a nandroid backup before flashing CM10.

With regards to play store, just flash the G-apps from goo.im site.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
i did, thats what im trying to flash
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
bump. anyway to fix this? i have alot of important things on that backup.

is there a way to salvage files manually from a CWM backup?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
You could try disabling the md5 check in CWM and see if you can boot after restoring the backup.

By the way, for next time, did you know the TB let's you create a flashable zip file so that you can install it through recovery? It's under menu/create update.zip

My SG2 phone running supernexus has a setting for persistent backlight for the touchkeys when the screen is on but it doesn't work. I found reference to this being a "bug" and that more people have the issue that they don't turn off but I want mine to stay on.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Try looking for an app in the Play Store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Thanks but it still doesn't work. Is this a hardware issue???

It's aggravating that most people complain about the keys stuck ON but my are stuck turning off after a second or two (and yes I tried a longer time as well as persistent. Doesn't work. :( )

EDIT: duh I realized it can't be hardware. Worked fine before I rooted my phone and installed supernexus. It's a problem for me because the keys are in different orders on my devices so I'm always hitting the wrong key. :(

[Nexus 7 General] wontstoptalking:
I sent my third N7 back today. This time for a refund instead of a replacement, since clearly that was going nowhere (what a wasted four weeks).

Anyway, the iPad Mini should be announced tomorrow, and the 32gb Nexus is already guaranteed.

I know it's impossible to say what the iPad Mini will be like, but I'm still assuming the Nexus will be better for me. I prefer Android, the build quality is superb (besides about eighty million manufacturing flaws), it does everything I want, etc.

So now that I've got my $250 back (minus shipping...), is it safe to buy the 32gb Nexus 7 after it gets announced?

There's no WAY Google/Asus could begin production of another model without working out the flaws of the previous ones, right?

Right, guys?

oh god please say that's right.

Do you know my most secret, terrible fear?

...I'm afraid that the 32gb Nexus 7's will be only partly new, with the rest of them just being used and returned N7's with the SSD replaced. I mean, Asus must have SO many, right? They've got 3 from me alone, sitting on a shelf, used, unable to be sold like "new" again... unless they're refurbished, fitted with more memory, and resold... oh god that's so terrifying.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Dude, there are 4 threads on the first page alone relating to the 32GB version that this could have been posted in instead of clogging up the first page with redundant thread topics.

To answer your question. No one can answer your question.
[Nexus 7 General] xjman:
Anything that is mass produced on the level of these products is bound to have defects. No one can say for sure if it will have defects or not. Last I saw there is about 3 million of them sold. So at a 1% defect rate that is 30k units with a defect. Seems like a lot, but not when you consider total sold. I would venture to say the defect rate is probably closer to a half a percent.

Please close this thread already... the second batch of pics were floating around before the S3 even came out lmfao...

There is no WAY they are even remotely close to deciding what the S3 looks like nevermind creating prototypes.
[Galaxy S III General] MeMoM&aVirusTI:
yes the pics are bogus ...but Samsung claims that the S4 will be nothing like what anyone can imagine ....the S4 will be a whole new generation of a smartphone ...many new technologies will be introduced

so if everyone thinks that the Galaxy S2 & S3 are impressive ...iam sure the S4 will rock the world ...it has to for Samsung to survive

if Apple doesn't sue the life out of them by then

Lol if you think Apples lawsuits are gonna hurt Samsung to the point where you think you can question if they can survive till next year. Lololol :D:D
[Galaxy S III General] MeMoM&aVirusTI:
all i know is when Samsung got the final judgement.... Apple Stock hit the moon + the cool 1 billion dollars they got ....Apple isnt going to just go away ! ....Samsung has to make some serious things happen & fast ....thats my 2 cents
[Galaxy S III General] razorjumper:
Love the S3's design. Hope it stays that way instead of being a rectangle
[Galaxy S III General] Steve_max:
Samsung is much, much, MUCH larger than their mobile division. Saying Samsung won't survive because one of their clients is suing a foreign office of their mobile division is like saying the USA will go bankrupt because IBM Argentina lost money.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
I couldn't have said it better myself. Saying Samsung will go broke because of 1 device is a statement of stupidity: they don't know jack about Samsung. They don't know that whatever happens, Samsung is in a win-win position: if Apple takes the hill, Samsung wins, because they provide several key components (like DDR memory) for the iCrap devices. Samsung's solid state and IC business is waaay larger than their mobile division. What we see with Samsung phones is like the tip of the iceberg. They manufacture ICs and components that are used in every single industry: manufacturing, military, health, telecom, etc, etc, etc.

BTW, why are people feeding these trolls?
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
I don't care what it looks like, just get rid of the f½#$£# physical home button and I'll be happy.

Now their stock is gone back down again because of ip5 disappointment and not-as-impressive-as-hoped sales figures.

They haven't got one cent of that 1 billion dollars yet and its looking more and more likely that they won't be getting it at all.

Their rubberband patent has been deemed invalid as of today, bring on the appeals.

The USPTO is finally copping on to what apple are doing, I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen to more of their patents.

[Galaxy S III General] KMino:
Forget AAPL stock price, it's being used and abused by hedge funds. It's overvalued and they know it. Take the iPhone 5, it should have sold 4X as many as it did, but it didn't. They are basically inflating AAPL stock price, by still putting in inaccurate old projected sales figures that ain't and didn't happen.

It'll be worth a lot less when the BIG crash comes and the hedge funds shall have exited AAPL stock by then. It's a bit like Facebook, it's being abused by banksters ;)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipguy:
hi all

so i regularly backup my note 2 before I rom it with a new rom.

my question is, if i wanted to copy the cwm backup files off the phone for backup, do i just need the dated backup folder or do i also need the blobs folder if i wanted to do a restore. ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonbloom:
You'll need blobs too. That's basically the backup files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guizza87:
Hello to all,

I would like to know, Android Jelly beans you can install an app as system app?? If it is possible in that folder must be inserted so that it can be installed as a system app?

thank you very much :highfive:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngSanley:
You can't install as system app without root. If you are root, I can help you, but if not, I can't
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guizza87:
I'm sorry,

I took for granted that my smartphone was root.

So now you can proceed to tell me how to install an app like app system.

You know me also say that there are advantages to install an app like app system rather than as a normal app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Some apps have to be installed as system apps, usually ones pulled from other devices or unofficial updates to a system apps which refuse to install from an apk. Besides for apks that won't install normally, I don't really see the reason to install an apk as a system app, unless you want to make it harder to uninstall.

Installing an apk as a system app is done with a rooted device only, by placing the apk in /system/app and changing the permissions to match other system apps. I like to use ES File Explorer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudjgaard:
Depending on the rom (but generally all alow debugging through adb) you should be able to install an apk to system parttion pushing it with adb to the /system/app/ directory
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
You can also use Titanium Backup or Link2SD to convert any user app to system app, and vice versa. Most of us have at least one of those apps installed, anyway.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
So I was reading an article on the verge about Xbox updates and apparently it supports DLNA now? With this functionality is my TV basically airplay compatible? What apps do you guys use for DLNA content pushing? Can I stream YouTube to the TV? I've never been a fan of MHL or HDMI, mini HDMI, etc or whatev
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
Search around dlna is basically a media streaming encoder as far as app wise I use playon and its always done great. If your gonna be using your phone I would start with all share since majority of the SR are working with it. However allshare is limited no you tube just basic videos music and pics

And by the way your streaming to the Xbox not they the tv lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lipatron:
DLNA apps (okay, but lacking)

There are tons! Yes, many are less than well-developed.

These seem to work okay. Search for each on play.google.com.

- BubbleUPnP - seems best server for local/lan, but no web directly have to send/share from a browser

- iMediaShare - limited sites, takes forever to open (on my device), can send to it from browser but doesn't always work

- Twonky Beam - browser with DLNA, not very robust and no adblocking plugins etc. (doesn't seem to recognize PS3?)

- Sky Browser - mixed Chinese/English, similar to Beam, closes a lot

- Taglists by Eye-C - sort of a social playlist app, allows YouTube

- [XBMCFlinger or official XBMC Remote) - seems best if have XBMC, shares(flings) streaming link (not DLNA) for anything incl YouTube]

** I haven't found an ideal DLNAserver app-solution to stream (any)website embedded video (ie. mp4, flv). Suggestions are appreciated.

I've looked at (and only found partial solutions for) these possible solutions:

- Browser (plugin) recognizes embedded video (link) in page, then 'share' OR embedded player has DLNA 'send' button (beside fullscreen, like AirPlay in IOS),

- DLNA app with browser etc.,

- Player app (like VPlayer) with DLNA server (not just client)

- Scraper app with send/share or DLNAserver.

I also can't wait for WIFIdirect sending the android screen and games with no HDMI cable!

No Pentile.

Smooth like nobody's business.

LTE version not using different chipset like Note 1.

TouchWiz seems good now.

S-Pen easier to hold.

Device is sexier than Note 1.

What I hate:

SAMOLED Longevity. (6 months before it turns yellowish?)

Android Updates (5 months for 4.2??)

Lower res than Note 1. (Feels like a downgrade)

Blue pixels wear faster than green and red, you just have counter balance a bit.

Download color adjuster and set green and red values slightly lower.

Just come from a ZTE Blade on giffgaff pay and go to Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on 3 pay monthly (the one plan with 2k mins, 5ktexts and unlim internet)

Excited and impressed all day over this phone and my new network, too... Love the hand writing and spen!
[Galaxy Note II General] Yrcimim:
I don't understand any of these "lesser resolution than Note 1" complaints... Note 1's pentile meant it effectively had about 30% less resolution than it's 1280x800 said it did... So, the Note 2 has about 43% *MORE* effective resolution lengthwise and about 30% more effective resolution over the width of the screen...

Well, I'm biased, being fully satisfied, but numbers don't lie... :)
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Totally satisfied.

On a side note, I don't get how others could participate in giving feedback regarding the note 2 if they don't even own the phone. How strange.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
60% satisfaction. (Previous note 1 owner)

I like:

* the smoothness

* battery life

* touchwiz nature ux

* new s pen

I hate:

* crappy gps

* 16:9 aspect ratio that makes web browsing a nightmare

* build quality issues (loose buttons and usb cable/port)

* Already feels outdated

* sooo thick

* bulkier than note 1

* hardware buttons (doesn't play nice with the spen)
