[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I was also getting this when I was trying to change from CM9. What worked for me was using one-click Odin back to stock EL29 with my computer, then use mobile Odin EL29 direct boot CWM. Every time I tried to use mobile Odin back to stock first i would get that error. Also, use computer to DL the file then transfer it to your SD card.

Alright guys, thanks for the information! I'm not sure if I'm going to try out PA now since it seems like theres a few things wrong but I'll report back here if I do decide to try it out + the results.

Thanks!

Tmobile locations around me have not received any cases or screen protectors and because they've switched to micro-sim I didn't have a choice when purchasing this phone but to activate it. Today I had my note 2 in my jacket pocket safe close to my chest. I get out of my car and the way I leaned it fell out of my pocket and hit the pavement. Lucky no scratches on the screen but the sides of it are jacked. You think TMO will take pity on me and let me switch it out seeing that I would have purchase case to protect my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] witeboy07:
I don't think so, you can always buy a case online.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] planetbeen:
I know it's a bit late now but...go to a Sprint store. They seem to have the cases. I read it on another thread and confirmed it myself today.

The Sprint store i went to had sold out of the clip on case but had the flip case in the grey and the white. I didn't try any other stores because the flip case was what i wanted in the first place so i was happy!

Sent from my awesome ginormous Note I I!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bipoler:
...... You want the business to take pity on something you did? Wow............ Are you serious . ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] witeboy07:
I bought a cheap case on ebay, until a better company starts releasing great cases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mercadodon:
Sorry to hear that. I know the feeling. I actually took apart my note ii - not bad at all! The only tricky part was getting a hand on how to separate the bezel from the glass - a plastic knife and slight pressure was all that was needed. There is a youtube video on the dis-assembly of a note ii - check it out.

Having said that, I am seeing many places on the web selling the housing for cheap. So when you have the time (or a friend if you don't like doing these things), go replace the housing.

Regards,

Don

No
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] graveghoul:
I know this doest help but i completely agree with the OP being angry cause Tmo didnt have accessories for it. Im in the same boat and im holding it around like if it were an infant child. Ive dropped it twice but very closed to a tile floor. Its very slippery sans case. And buying a case at the Sprint store, thats a very good idea! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yusssi:
ouch!!!

I had the exact same thing happen to me with my gs3 (sold and purchased note 2) i was lucky enough that my phone had a defective bluetooth hardware so i was able to return and got a brand new one!!! The only difference is that i purchased on tmobile.com so nobody physically inspected the phone before i received my new handset. I guess you could try and tell them that you have a malfunctioning device? It would be hard since they will more than likely relate the malfunction to the fall. But it wouldnt hurt to try???

Good luck to you!

P.s. and no, i did not get charged by tmobile for the damage to the returned phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] soumaine:
u can find exact same case that tmobile offers on ebay for a great price
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
amazon has a few cases that are cheap and Prime eligible.

http://www.amazon.com/AirBus-Clear-...8&qid=1351485624&sr=8-2&keywords=airbus+n7100

i have the blue one of these. it's undeniably cheap. but it gets the job done for now. and would have prevented your heartache OP.

best choice for you is to get insurance on the thing and make a claim in a few weeks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I am a pretty die hard phone guy and almost EVERY phone I have purchased I made sure I had a case and screen protector handy because most of my purchases I have had time to decide what I wanted and I got prepared for that special "DAY" when the phone releases on your carrier or it comes in the mail ;)... That being said, It is not very common for T-mobile to stock ANY "good" cases cause they just kinda suck when it comes to accessories but it's not their fault that they didn't have accessories on a phone that they made available to the public faster than any other US carrier... Now that is a first! LOL If you need one now than Sprint stores are probably your best bet or maybe Best Buy... Be prepared to dive deep in the wallet though... I really do feel your pain though and hope you can get it fixed without too much cost. Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Shhh on the fraud tip... ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
The t-mobile rep told me that insurance is automatically included in all their plans when I purchased my Note ii last night. Maybe check with them and confirm this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
he might be a clumsy guy and drop the phone many times between when he gets the insurance and feels the need to make a claim. never know..

Wasn't automatically added for me. the rep pushed it pretty hard. but didn't say it was required, or automatic. so i would call and check.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Nope, not at all, that's an extra charge of $7 a month, plus, with all these insurances, there's a deductible, so even if the OP had it, he'd have to pay out of pocket because the damage is most likely less than the deductible (or just a tad bit over that it's not worth paying the $100+ deductible).

In any case, if it's simply the battery door that's scratch, go buy a replacement one, if it's the silver rim around the phone, there's no replacing that. I myself got the nillkin case before i bought the phone (got here Saturday and bought the phone Friday):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140855149689&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160

it's a pretty nice case for $9 and adds some texture to the phone. I usually hate cases for my phones, but this one is pretty nice. (And screw samsung for using cheap plasticky materials on their $700+ phones... that's why i usually dont buy samsung... but the Note II's one of a kind i grudgingly had to succumb... but still pissed at them for the material choice).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondercoolguy:
thanks for all the suggestions...

I'm gonna call the store that I bought it from today and see ..... all they can say is no. Ill ask about them about insurance claims, I've never made a claim before so I don't know the process.

I do have the fact that I've called that store every single day since I bought the phone looking for case and screen protector. From the way it sounds Sprint seems to be the best alternative on getting a protector ASAP.

Once I put a case on it I won't be able to see any of the damange at all...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
There's usually a return policy within 14-30 days. Depending on how you bought the phone you could tell them it came like that. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] csmits:
Get an insurance with t mobile, think you can get it within 30 days of purchase, and then file a claim. Will have to pay a deductible of course.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondercoolguy:
what is the normal deductible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] flexte:
I am on sprint but when I got my original evo i dropped it without insurance I called sprint they said they can add it even after i damaged the phone and it was replaced. I think all companies use asurion so its worth a shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dirtybudha:
Dropped mine, a few cracks but nothing major or that interferes with the phone.

I'd like to just replace the glass, but that'll be a while before they come out.

I think it's crappy they didn't have anything in store for this device. The stuff on eBay and Amazon are labeled N7100, and I'm still worried it won't fit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondercoolguy:
No I agree I'm gonna push pretty hard to try and get them to replace it. We'll see I gotta wait till I get off of work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dirtybudha:
As helpful as they can be I don't think it'll be that simple. Another thread says she damaged her's and the insurance will replace it for $130.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankd14321:
Seriously, it's not Tmobile's Fault you dropped your phone. I ordered my folio case from amazon before I even ordered the dang phone... so the day it came I had a case all ready for it.. Plan ahead next time.

Everything for the 7100 fits just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brashmadcap:
Always buy insurance

First thing I did was get insurance on mine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:
LOL. Perfect way to force you into another $7/month and giving them an extra spiff. They tried telling me there is a $50 activation fee on a phone I am buying sealed unsubsidized and unactivated on a prepaid plan. I just went to another store and they never even brought it up. Insurance is neither included nor required. That being said, I went home and bought the insurance on my own. F them.

Try At&t Too

I like this case from AT&T going to call around tomorrow see if I can find it in stock anywhere. I can always order it too I guess. Looks decent and kickstand too. I am planning ahead and getting a case either at a store or online before I get my note to avoid damaging it using it without a case. I know from my experience with no case on my original note it is slick in the hand and easy to drop.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Insurance is always a tricky business... especially all these deductibles... Heck, if i drop my Note II right now, I bet i could get $400 out of it by selling it for parts on Ebay... what's $7 a month + $130 deductible... And if i don't drop it (and I don't plan to)... well i just saved $7 a month.

Looks cool with the kickstand, but that means added bulk... :/ and truth be told, the price is horrific. I'll stick to my $9 nillkin case off ebay, cheap, feels good and thin. Although it spent 6 days in customs... doubling the shipping times.

I apologize for hurting your feelings...I dodnt know that strangers comments were so important to your emotional state. Once again I am very sorry.

Unless you have insurance and are able to pay the deductible, and im nit even sure insurance covers mistakes made by the user like that. I dont believe they will give you what youre looking for. It was your fault. I just dont see whats not to comprehend... I know its hard to have to hear something that isnt what you want to happen, but be prepared to accept that they +may+ not replace it. The possible scenarios are

A) pay for a new one

B)get the screen repaired

Whats the big deal?

And responding to those questions that you made it so easy for me to comprehend which I thank you so much for... no I dont think they will, and tmo "better" replace your phone? Or what?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] babymatteo:
If you dont have insurance on it, you might as well add it now and just pay the $130 deductible if you really want a brand spanking new looking phone. But even if you add it now, i believe you have to wait atleast 30days to make a claim. But correct me if im wrong. Sux this happened to you. Happened to me as well first day i picked up my S3 from Tmobile...dropped it a few hours later.

Hello,

I bought my HOX, 2 months ago and after I heard about a new software update I tried to update it normally but couldn't find a "software update" option, so I contacted the htc official website and they asked me to provide them with my "software number", which I kindly did and later they replied that I have installed an unofficial software. - although I bought it with this software already installed- and I should contact the taiwan htc branch cause my phone is manufactured in taiwan.

Please can you help me step by step and in plain english on how I can retrieve my official software in order to be able to update my phone ?
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
A new phone cannot come with an unofficial software, better that you go back to the place where you purchased it. You may in trouble later for warranty issues.

To install the official software

1. Find your CID

2. Download the latest RUU for your CID

3. Lock your bootloader and run the RUU and you will be restored to the official software

You need fastboot/adb for doing these, do a search
[HTC One X] freddy_l2k:
So my cid is htc_621...how can I download the ruu for my cid
[HTC One X] freddy_l2k:
Help a rookie :)

please help me.

The software number installed in my device is : BoxmaX.ONEX.ARA.v6.0

all i want is to restore my original software number: 2.17.709.7

so that i can be able to update my software normally

please guide me through the steps plus provide me with the suitable recovery file

and the suitable ruu concidering my cid : 621
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TopHATTwaffle:
I'm not too new to Android. I'm not a developer, just a lover of the system. I hated the stock rom on my SGS3 and rooted and flashed the device to put some new roms on it. I've bounced around from rom to rom. I've settled on the ParanoidAOKPdroid rom.

I have some problems with it being stable (mostly sleep of deaths), but I expect that with any custom rom. So my question to you guys is this, What AOKP rom is the best rom that you've found? What one is the most stable, easiest to use, ect..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
I found aokp on my samsung infuse 4g. I used to try a new rom every two weeks or so. Once I installed aokp on my infuse I have not had any real desire to go to any other rom which has xfered to my sgs3. I'm currently using task and ktoonsez's aokp and haven't tried the other ones for the s3 to give you my opinion on them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
Ive used task's aokp before. Its pretty solid and stable. I dont recall getting SOD on his aokp. I would recommend giving it a try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Yeah, I use task's and toonz AOKP rom as well. Its amazing. Can't go back to TW after this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] exodus454:
I've run AOKP on my past Galaxy Player 5.0, and now I'm using task's AOKP on my GS3. It's really great - a lot of useful new features (which makes it much easier in day-to-day use), it's really fast, but I wouldn't call it quite as stable as touchwiz roms. It's not actually unstable at all, just touchy sometimes. I've never had a sleep of death or anything running task's ROM, usually any funkyness is my fault.

There's a definite learning curve to AOKP, it's a much more "vanilla android" experience than touchwiz but it's worth it. I just make sure I have a backup in TWRP (or CWM if you choose to use it) made frequently while I'm playing with stuff. Get AOKP installed and stable => do a backup. Install some more stuff, get it stable => do a backup, etc. This way you can play with stuff and not worry about breaking anything, you can go right back to where you were if you happen to make it unstable in any way.

Oh, and KT747 kernel is definitely worth a try too. EXCELLENT kernel.

Does anyone here knows exactly if there is some sort of limitation that would prevent this phone from getting 4G speeds on mysimplemobile.com (T-Mobile MVNO)?

I have been able to get 4G speeds on their network for almost 2 months, and then it switched to 3G speeds (~240kbps for downloads). I asked the tech support wtf is happening, and the guy came up with some bull###t explanation, why my phone cannot possibly run 4G. I do not have a feeling he knows what he's talking about because when I kept asking him what standard must the phone support for 4G speeds, he kept saying "it must run 4G on 1700 band". After I kept pressuring him, he said "HSDPA+ 1700".

He also mentioned that people are getting 4G speeds on their network with iPhones from AT&T, until the "system recognizes" and then they somehow down to EDGE. It makes no sense to me whatsoever, how could a phone that doesn't support frequency on which network is running could run 4G at all, like, EVER.

Does anybody here know about the intricacies of the 4G networking to tell:

* if Samsung Galaxy S 4G does indeed support 4G on whatever belongs to mysimplemobile?

* is there even such thing as HSDPA+ 1700MHz, and does SGS4G support this?

* is it possible that a phone legitimately runs at 4G speeds for months, and then out of sudden stops doing it without any foul play from operator?

* is it possible that the phone runs 4G on a network that does not even support their band (like this iPhone thing)

Here's a quote from the tech support email:

Does that explanation make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
Your phone wouldn't just stop getting 4g it would have never got it in the first place. If the phone supports what band the company uses for 4g then you get 4g if it does not the you will not.

The guy is an idiot about the iphone thing. It would be like setting your walky-talky to channel 5 and trying to talk to someone on channel 3. The bands either match or they don't.

My unicorn died, back on the pony.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] galets:
I will wait a couple days for the next billing cycle, and if this theory is right, I will see 4G speeds back again. If I do, those SimpleMobile folks are sneaky a**holes. Not only they lie about their plan being "unlimited", they also have technical support lie about the phone/network capabilities in a manner that assumes their customers are dumb. This is wrong on so many levels....

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] galets:
That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming this for me.

How do they get away with it? They advertise unlimited everything, and then throttle? And not only throttle, but disable data completely after 3GB or 2.5GB, according to this: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1773841-How-Much-Data-on-the-50-Plan

How come nobody sued their ass for doing it, isn't such blatant false advertisement a ground for class action?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Throttle slows down but if you can still download, you are still unlimited, so they are not in breach and are still offering you unlimited.

Also read things like Section 25-2, and others http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Simple-Mobile-Terms-Conditions.aspx it's clearly there, so you agreed to that, so there is nothing you can do. You can't tether, you can't P2P, you can surf webpages basically or you might get throttled.
