If I want to sell my phone, and program the buyers new phone number into it, how would I go about doing that?

moparfreak426: in your first post, you link a dropbox file that should fix mms and gps. you said it works on AOSP JB ROMS. can you be more specific as to which ROM you used that it worked for you? thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
I can't just open DFS or QPST and re-program in the number?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Nope :/, those keys are programmed for that number. It might work now, but upstream stuff has changed alot. Shirtly before i switched to the S3, alot of atuff was changing with making it work right and such.

Cm10.1, pacman, king kang, slim, baked black bean. And that file simply adds in the apnconfig.XML from the vzw galaxy s3, a couple of vzw apps. (VzwapnLib.apk, vzwwaplib.apk) and a couple build.prop tweaks that make your phone now think it is a Verizon phone instead of sprint

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] orfius christ:
So this is my situation. I'm stuck in a complete forever bootloop, but I still have access to recovery. I've tried flashing several ROMs and tried flashing different PJ75IMGs, on the thought of it being my boot.img being screwed up or something. I'm s-on, by the way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
Since you are s-on, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the Rom you flashed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] orfius christ:
I've tried with stock kernel and stock ROM, and sadly got no good results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hooover:
You can still access recovery? Custom?

I have the idea that you need to flash a ROM with the kernel installer for s-on, e.g. MeanRom would be the best bet, Jelly Bomb also has it, mount your system/ sd through recovery and load it then flash...

This is the exact reason people should make back-ups, accessing recovery, allbeit TWRP or w.e, a back up would have saved this issue.

You may need to update TWRP, after you get settled. Use goo manager from the market
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ItsTommyGun:
If all else fails, use fastboot to relock your bootloader. (the command is 'fastboot oem lock') Then take your phone to a corporate Sprint service and repair center. They can flash your phone with the manufacturers RUU as long as your bootloader is relocked - the ruu won't run on the phone if it is unlocked. Flashing your phone is free by the way.

If THAT doesn't work, then the issue is possibly not software related, but potentially hardware. From that point they will offer to replace your phone. That will cost your $35 as long as there is no liquid or physical damage unless you pay for TEP then it would be free.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geckocavemen:
I'm on yakju 4.1.2 at the moment with an unlocked bootloader but no root. I would like to go to takju 4.2 so I can get 4.2 right now and hopefully get future updates a little quicker as well. The only thing is I don't want to lose my apps, app data, and sd card contents. I looked through efrant's tutorial here and I could get 4.2 takju that way but I noticed it would result in losing all the app data and sd card contents, which I don't want to do. Is there any other way that will allow me to go to takju 4.2 without losing all that data? I tried looking at mskip's toolkit here but I couldn't figure out if that would accomplish what I want or not. I am a bit of a noob at this stuff which is why I don't want to skip step 10 of efrant's method. Thanks for any help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freezer2000:
To switch from Yakju to Takju, you would need to follow the steps below (considering you know adb & fastboot and have set them up on your computer. Also assuming your Bootloader is unlocked)

1. Download the 4.2 factory images for Takju from http://goo.gl/UMbmS

2. Extract files using 7-zip on Windows (you need to extract twice and will get the files as: bootloader-xxx.img; radio-xxx.img and image-xxx.zip)

3. Copy these files to the location android-sdk/platform-tools/ (if you have the android-sdk installed or to the location where adb & fastboot is)

4. Plug in your Galaxy Nexus (ensure Debug option is enabled under Developer Settings

5. Follow these commands:

a. adb reboot bootloader

b. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-xxx.img

c. fastboot reboot-bootloader

d. fastboot flash radio radio-xxx.img

e. fastboot reboot-bootloader

f. fastboot update image-xxx.zip

This would update your Galaxy Nexus from Stock 4.1.2 (yakju) to Stock 4.2 (takju) without losing any data/apps

*Disclaimer: I have followed the above to the T and moved from Stock 4.1.2 (yakju) to Stock 4.2 (takju) with Unlocked Bootloader, but you follow these at your own risk.

Cheers!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geckocavemen:
Thanks freezer2000! I used a combination of your recommendations and efrant's tutorial and got my galaxy nexus on takju 4.2 without losing any app data or sd card contents. I'll describe what I did below if it helps anyone else. Just a note...I used a mac so some of the terminal commands are slightly different but efrant describes how to modify his commands to work on a mac. Your bootloader must already be unlocked to do this and keep all your apps and app data.

1. Follow efrant's tutorial verbatim until step 6 of part C. (I didn't do part A or step 4 of part C. because I'm on a mac...I also didn't back up my phone like part B recommends)

2. Once at step 6 of part C. unzip the .tgz file, but do NOT unzip the image-takju-jop40c.zip file that is within the unzipped .tgz file. You should have 6 files total after unzipping the .tgz of which I used three in the updating process -- a bootloader-xxx-xxx.img file; a radio-xxx-xxx.img file; and the previously mentioned image-takju-jop40c.zip file that I did NOT unzip. Make sure these files are in the same directory as the attachment that is downloaded from efrant's tutorial.

3. Continue with efrant's tutorial at part C. step 7 and follow the instructions verbatim until you reach part D. step 2; my bootloader was already unlocked so I skipped ahead to part D. step 4.

4. Follow efrant's tutorial verbatim from step 4 - step 8 and stop after completing step 8. This is pretty much exactly the same as what freezer2000 recommended except for freezer2000's step a, which I couldn't get to work (I'm on a gsm nexus so I did NOT do step 8a or 8b)

5. This is where I picked up with freezer2000's steps. Type in the command line: ./fastboot-mac update image-takju-jop40c.zip

At this point everything seemed to stop for about 30 seconds or so and then 4.2 began to flash to the phone. 5 minutes later or so and I had 4.2 up and running.

I'm pretty much a noob at this and I'm sure my description of what I did isn't that great. Anyone who would like to clean it up or explain what I did in better terms/more detail please feel free. I'm still not sure exactly how what I did is different from efrant's method or if there are any problems with doing it the way I did (and pretty much the way freezer2000 explained except for his step a).

Based on my understanding I first updated the bootloader to a takju compatible version, then updated the radio to a takju compatible version, then flashed the takju 4.2 zip file which basically condensed the rest of efrant's tutorial into one step and avoided deleting my apps and data.

I'm sure there is a very good reason why efrant unzipped the image-takju-jop40c.zip, I just don't understand why. If someone could explain it I'd appreciate it.

As always, no guarantees what I did will work on your phone but it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] untruestory:
That sounds complicated. Couldn't you simply do the following?

backup with TB

copy the TB folder to your computer

switch over

copy TB back and restore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geckocavemen:
I think you have to have root to use Titanium Backup and I don't have root. Also, I tried TB once before on a nexus one that I rooted and it didn't really backup everything as well as I'd hoped. Maybe it's gotten better since then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freezer2000:
Being a silent viewer on XDA for the last 2 years, I took some steps for granted (as mentioned in efrant's tuts). Glad the info was helpful to you to some extent.

Hit Thanks, if it helped you.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Kindly correct me if I am wrong, but using TB would ensure the apps and related data is backed up, how about images, music and other files in the sd will be backed up?

Also how can one switch from Yakju to Takju without flashing the factory images (i know there are custom roms based on each variant, but is there any way to got stock without loosing your data/apps)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] untruestory:
I've been using TB since the release of the evo4g and it's always worked great for backing up all apps and app data. Restoring system settings from one ROM to another tends to break stuff though.

I don't know what to tell you to do without root. You could root, switch, then unroot I suppose.

Titanium won't backup all your saved and downloaded files. If you wanted to save absolutely everything just copy and restore the whole contents of the phone's storage.

Do what you like I guess but if you're gonna tinker around as far as changing your ROM might as well be rooted. Just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kliw:
a. adb reboot bootloader

b. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-xxx.img

c. fastboot reboot-bootloader

d. fastboot flash radio radio-xxx.img

e. fastboot reboot-bootoader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

At this point you still have your recovery, in order to robot your phone, if you want :)

It sounds like it's not compatible with your rom, you will have to use the tool to inject the app into the ROM zip file and re-flash.

Tmo is edge or 3g. A very fast 3g they call 4g.

Download battery monitor widget. Add the widget. Click the widget. Select tests from the menu on the bottom. Select device information. Scroll down and you can set radio preferences. Back out using the back button and it will save your setting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Right. No 4g per the actual definition. Good marketing ploy I guess. Is there a way to use a shortcut key code like before on ics?

Hi all, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to deliver my problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.

My S2 is freezing frequently and I am having difficulty to trace down what is the actual cause.

My current running ROM is CM10 official nightlies.

I try to track down the obsessive running processes using WatchDog.

And, it turn out to be android.media.processing is running at high CPU (>50%) always.

So, I tried to disable the media scanner using Rescan Media. However, the freezing problem is still occured.

The freezing problem could be happened at any time(internet browse surfing, incoming call, sending a message, plugging charger into phone) and even during idling!

I am really out of idea, so I would like to seek any help from all of you. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] override182:
Happened to me despite whatever kernel i tried on JB. Tried stock cm, stock aokp(the same aa stock cm), changmin's, dorimanx and siyah.

I didnt even undervolt plus i even tried to increase thw stock voltage values given in case JB requires more lower. But i cant get past 2days of usage without any freeze issues.

Im a heavy user of this phone and i charge more than 3x daily or just leave it charge or use while charge.

Will be testing leaked 4.1.2 today to see if it still persists. If it still does, im thinking of a worn out mobo or processor might be the case. If its fine, maybe those AOSP isnt much stable for some processors/mobos.

Was suprised btw seeing not many complaints over the issue across s2 section. Hardwarw issue or aosp stuffs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sslim:
Currently still trying to debug for the issue.

The phone works fine so far after I re-flash the CM10 without flashing the Gapps.

Now just trying to run the phone with some daily running apps like (Gmail, Facebook, Whatsapp, Line) to see if the freezing problem occured again.

I was worrying it could be due to faulty hardware since I accidentally drop it twice before. :(
