Ok lol thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affiatic:
please consider the high possibility that you could recieve one of the new atrixes that have a nonunlockable bootloader. i have gotten 2 of them from at&t since August that CANNOT BE UNLOCKED. without unlockin can't flash custom roms.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strokemesilly:
Save yourself the headache and get the GS2.

For starters its an infinitely better device with JB supported in the roadmap coming soon, better modding options and support in xda community also. I highly doubt that the ICS leak will make any inroads into a working rom release anytime soon, so just do yourself a favour and jump ship.

Ive just purchased a GS2 as they are dirt cheap now and will be binning my Atrix. The Atrix has been an absolute nightmare for over a year, stock is buggy and not a single fully functioning, fast, stable rom available (well nottachtrix was at least stable enough, but no cigar). Ill never purchase another motorola product after this experience.

Good luck ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeechoalpha:
Hi there peeps,before you say it ive exhausted the search button (so no wise guys):p

I have 3 SGS2's I9100,

1. Has no service (from ebay somebody didnt pay the bill)

2. Has a busted screen (again from ebay)thought you could just replace the top screen ! Doh!

3. Has no wifi or bluetooth (been told it needs a new mobo)

i want 2 working phones from the 3 i have.

My question is can i transfer the efs/imei from No3 to the mobo of No1 and the mobo from No2 to No3.I can do the physical from 2 to 3.I am just not certain about 3 to 1.

If you can, how can it be done,what would i need to do it myself?

Thanks in advance:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No, you can't transfer an IMEI from one device to another. Illegal in every jurisdiction in the world that follows the rule of law.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeechoalpha:
So lets say i had a new mobo,and i wanted to transfer my old efs/imei on it then would that be illegal?Just like they do in the shop when you pay for a new mobo.

So because i have and old mobo,then thats a grey area,and your instantly bannished to the depths of hell for even thinking it or asking it.The point of the question was to see if its possible.Not to be quoted the letter of the law,as if i didnt or wouldnt know it.

But thanks for stating the obvious
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's not transferring the IMEI, that's transferring your existing phone number (or putting an existing SIM card in) to a new phone. The IMEI is a unique identifier that every mobile device has, it's attached to that particular piece of hardware.

I didn't state the obvious, if it were that obvious you wouldn't have made this thread, would you ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeechoalpha:
The obvious to me is about the legal stuff and jurisdiction etc ,i'm not asking about anything being legal,neither did i mention anything about a sim card or a phone number.

I know what an IMEI is too.(International Mobile Equipment Identity)

I did ask if i had used mobo can i transfer from another mobo the imei,I assumed it to be a no.So then i asked if i had a new mobo how would the imei from lets say a damaged mobo be transfered to a new mobo.

I didn't come on here to get trolled or preached some laws,if you cant answer what i asked,then whats the point in you replying to something you clearly don't have the answer to.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I said what I said because one of the rules here is "Don't do anything that could get us (XDA) into trouble".

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeechoalpha:
Ahhh ok fair point understood.

But if i had posted that i had a new mobo and i wanted to transfer the old efs /imei data etc ,then this would have been treated or looked upon a different way?

Because then i would be asking something that is legal,and infact is done everyday in repair shops around the world.

Just in the market for a new screen protector and wanted some input from you guys.

So what is the current screen protector that you guys are rocking on your S3?

Also, how do screen protectors stack up to each other?

(Zagg vs Ghost Armor vs Mercury vs Spigen vs Military Shield and others)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] reNeglect:
Spigen Curved Crystal! Its a dry install protector thats almost edge to edge maybe a few mm's short, but it definitely sticks on the edges. Feels and looks like there as if nothing on the screen. Only complaint is that is does scratch somewhat easily but whatever. Also two protectors come in each pack.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DEEBS808:
I always used clear-coat on my devices. Love their products and customers support. Just bought me some xtreme guards and love it also.. very cheap and works awesome.

Sent with ALOHA from HAWAII from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikeyj1973:
I've always used these>>http://www.gadgetshieldz.com

Used them on my Galaxy S.. And my son's ipod touch.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pyunny:
also using the sgp curved crystal with a modello case. i bought it knowing about the scratching and denting issues and have been completely satisfied with it. was using a bestskinsever wet application before and don't know if i'd ever be able to go back. the drag drives me nuts.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] darkphantom:
any idea of what may a good matte screen protector that goes all the way to the edges? most i've found are all too small
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tonyt3rry:
quick tip dont buy the £4 ones from sainsburys they dont cover the full screen and make the touchscreen unresponsive
[Galaxy S III Accessories] falcons2:
My favorite is the dba just like glass
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
these are the three I like.

skinplayer 3D mask film for edge to edge coverage, once on you don't notice it.

fonemax glass screen protector

mercury edge to edge protector with colour boarder.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babydo:
I use Vikuiti. It's less well-known, but the people who've seen often don't notice I even have a protector on, until I point it out to them. It doesn't cover the whole front, and is pretty much made to fit the width of the screen, and length of the phone. Haven't found the need to use any other brand of protectors so far :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lvoonjian8888:
I would suggest Spigen Ultra Crystal! Good protection, scratch resistance, fit to any case!..:P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] P2o8wer:
Hands down Steinhill ultra crystal...

It's the best, it's thick but not to thick, feels like glass, smooth as can be.. They are just the best I tried all other protectors nothing comes close.... I don't buy any other for my phones..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Simonetti2011:
I bought a bunch from DealExtreme. They are extremely cheap and high quality. Since most people in manufacturing in China nowadays, possibly the ones I got are the exact same ones sold by brand names for 100x more.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] luc.highwalker:
I use gorrila glass, stuff never gets scratches :-]
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
this is not a screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] luc.highwalker:
Actually, it protects the lcd behind it, as well as provide touch controls. So yes, it is technically a screen protector ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GR0S:
use a piece of plastic bag

Awesome protection, superior clear image.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
i might as well bubble wrap it, best protection and water proof.:fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gallagheri:
Hi Everyone

I'm having trouble applying a simple zip update in my Galaxy Nexus. Currently, I have Jelly Bean 4.1.1 STOCK but Rooted with CMW 6.0.1.0 working smoothly.

I wanted to give PA a try, so decided to download it. After I wipe everything (data, cache, etc), I apply the update (PA 2.51) and got this error:

-- Installing: /sdcard/Paranoid Andoird/pa_maguro-2.51 - 24OCT2012 - 161109.zip

Finding updated package...

Openin update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "maguro" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "maguro"

E: Error in /sdcard/paranoid android/pa_maguro_2.51 -24OCT2012 - 161109.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Nothing is installed of course. Anyone can give me a hint of what is causing this? I honestly don't have a clue!

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Do you have a maguro Gnex? You didn't indicate in the OP and the .zip is for maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gallagheri:
Oh yes, I forgot to state that. It is indeed maguro Gnex :).

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Well the conflict appears to be with the build.prop.

What does your prop say about your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gallagheri:
athwill Museum

You mean the build number my device has?

JRO03C its the build number. I hope that's what you meant. Maybe it only works for JZO54K?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
My guess is he has toro...verizon galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
No. I'm referring to a file called build.prop. Your device either isn't a maguro or the build.prop has been modified to appear as a different model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Or he got a bad build... DarkPA 2.51 for toro also gave users a failed install. Dirty flash or clean didn't matter build was bad and got pulled. Maybe that's what's happening? It was the same thing too. Failed install, no bootloops or anything. Maybe there was a generic problem with PA 2.51 ???

Idk just ideas
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gallagheri:
I tried with 2.50 and 2.22 also, and they both gave me this error unfortunately.

I supposed it was a file, but also guessed it was represented on the "Build Number" too.

Akira02rex, it's the GSM/HSPA+ version so I guess that classifies as Maguro, doesn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
GSM is in fact maguro.

So I'd say to check the md5 for the rom you're trying to flash if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
OP: I just realized. I had the same issue on my Toro using CWM 6.0.1.0. I could only flash one or two ROMs. I've since switched to TWRP 2.3.1.0 and never had a problem. Unless you're set in your ways with CWM, I'd give a different recovery a try. :rolleyes::eek:

Install goo.im from the play store, hit the menu button and hit install open recovery script. That'll flash the latest TWRP
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
Okay, so I've been searching for about a week; Google, XDA, forums, everything.

Backstory:

My friend found this wildfire at a bus stop, it had no Sim in it but an SD card (which he gave to a friend and has since been wiped).

I've unlocked and rooted a ZTE Skate (Orange Monte Carlo) for use with a GiffGaff Sim and Cyanogen. I'm quite computer Savvy and thought that I'd easily be able to do the same thing with this phone, with Google anything is possible!

Current Condition:

It's in the same state as when I got it, it doesn't have an OS. When you turn it on it just loops the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot loop, holding power and Volume down boots it into a white screen with text (I think this is called HBOOT).

This is the information on this screen:

Plus options which I'm sure most of you are aware of.

When I select 'Recovery' it takes me to a picture of a phone with a large Exclamation mark (which is inside a triangle warning sign) over it. After a few moments I'm taken to the 'Android System Recovery' which I'm guessing is the stock recovery.

I've taken pictures of all these screens if anyone needs clarification and also of the back of the phone with the battery off (for the IMEI, etc).

What I've Tried:

I'll try make a list of everything I've tried here but I've tried a fair amount (nothing has actually effected the phone so it's still in it's original state).

Extracting the rom.zip from the RUU for the radio number of this phone and renamed it to update.zip. I then tried reading from update.zip from within 'Android System Recovery'. That didn't work, something about a signature not being valid.

Renaming the same rom.zip from 1. and renaming it to PC49IMG.zip/img so that the HBOOT screen could detect it but that was to no avail.

Running unrevoked(latest version) didn't work as the phone doesn't have an OS and every guide says to turn USB debugging on (which I can't do).

Running the RUU for this phone (which I judged from the RADIO version) didn't work either (it couldn't detect the phone).

Using ADB to push/flash recovery/boot/system and none of that has worked.

If I haven't provided some key piece of information then please let me know, I'd like to get this issue sorted as soon as possible!

Thanks in advance! :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
OK go to the development section and look for clockworkmod version 5.0.2.8 in pc49img format. Boot to bootloader with it on the root of the sdcard and Allow it to flash. Then flash rempuzzle or any other sense rom and your sorted pal :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
Thank you so much for the quick response!

I feel like this is getting somewhere now!

So I followed your advice and downloaded PC49IMG.zip from this post.

I copied it to the root of a clean 1GB SD card, booted the phone into Hboot which checks the connected SD card for a zip with that name, It comes up saying Loading PC49IMG.zip but then says 'No Image!'.

I know the SD card slot works and that the SD card works, am I doing anything wrong?

EDIT:

Just to keep the information on here up-to-date I've just posted in the thread I linked to earlier on in this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566677&page=4

This is what happened when I extracted recovery.img from PC49IMG.zip and tried to flash it over fastboot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
Sorry mate, first post and all that. Thanks for putting it in the correct section. :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Fast boot will not work as that hboot does not have fastboot commands enabled pal. Give me 10 minutes to jump on the PC and I will help you out :)

edit: ok you definately need to use the pc49img method as your hboot does not have fastboot commands, the reason most people here can fastboot is the have revolutionary s-off, which added fastboot commands. i think either that phone came s-off or met with an xtc clip, hich has s-offed it and gave it sim unlock ect. so use the pc49img way of doing it, and keep the letters all caps, bar zip. like this PC49IMG.zip sometimes the bootloaders have a huff if its not worded right ;P
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
Thank you very much!!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
did you get sorted pal? if you want i can help you find out for sure if the device was xtc clipped or not ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
No mate it's still as it was last night, see my previous post regarding me following your advice. That's where I'm at with the phone now :P
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
ok well if that fails, it could be a cid issue, but since your s-off should be easily sorted ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
Okay so what can you suggest for me to try next?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
http://www.mediafire.com/?rxh0vn78a89123n

copy this to the root of the sdcard.

when it finds it it should say "jumping to diag", should give you 2 options, select diag. it should then come up with another 2 options of clean s58 data and device info. go down to device info first and look through it to check if the cid is 11111111.

if it is not copy it down.

then keep flicking through and it should bring you back to the clean s58data menu. clean the s58data. it should say readcid success and write cid success, or something along those lines. when it has finished reboot the device and leave it to see if it fully boots again.

this file is a leaked htc diagnostics utility, used with the xtc clip to s-off and give supercid and sim unlock. since you are s-0ff it will run and do its job, with the added bonus that it will hardcore factory reset the device wiping everything from it, hopefully fixing the bootloop in the process. if it does not then you will definately have supercid and be able to use any ruu you need to :) good luck and report back :cool:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCuddles:
I've cracked it!!!!

I was in the process of following the steps in your latest post. I was getting more frustrated because the diag file STILL wasn't being picked up by Hboot and I was at a loss.

I remembered I had an 8GB SD card not being used so I decided it was worth a try to repeat some of these steps with that in it. IT WORKED!

Hboot instantly picked up the diag utitility which makes me think that what was stopping me was that hboot doesn't like SD cards below 2GB (something I'd read about when unlocking my ZTE Skate).

So I restarted the phone with just the PC49IMG.zip on the sd card and low and behold it flashed CWM onto the recovery. Well. As anyone will tell you once you've got CWM on there then everything is nice and dandy! I flashed the latest CyanogenMod 7.2 nightly onto the phone, flashed the gapps and voila the phone is booting into CM7!!!

Thank you so much for your help in this heavy_metal_man, without you taking the time out to answer my questions I would have been lost!

Again, thank you so much. MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Try a usb jig and see if you can get into download mode and if that doesn`t work you probably are looking at a Jtag job or Samsung repair service. Is the phone still under warranty?

Is it a I9100 or a I9100G?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziaulh.ch:
It was bought from uk. Im not sure if its G or not. Usb jig is not available in my country..... what to do? phone is not under warranty. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Remove the battery and under the battery there should be a model name.

However, if you have the I9100 and not the I9100G you flashed the wrong Pit File. There is a big difference between those devices. I9100 is Exynos based and I9100G is OMAP based. You probably messed up the partition of your phone or even the bootloader by flashing wrong stuff on the device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziaulh.ch:
Yes you are right mine is I9100. I flashed the wrong Pit file. So can I do anything to unbrick it? If I could get into download mode I could have tried to solve it. but I cant! Moreover the device is getting heated even if its turned off and unplugged. When I put the battery on its heating up itself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
There is no way (at least to my knowledge) to unbrick a hardbricked device without jtag. What you can try is to find someone in your country with a jtag and give him your device, so he can then unbrick it. Maybe there is a Android Forum that is based on your language, I would ask there. In Germany there are quite some people who do this for a little cash, so maybe you can find someone in your country.

Good luck
