I also have a s3 with THR product code and CSC code which is related to Iran region ... but i dont even live near Iran.. will i get the jellybean update??.. and if yes .. when do you think i will get it??.. is it worth waiting or should i just flash the polish release using odin??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
Where you from you can change your CSC by downloading csc changer from play store..

jellybean update

I Live in Tbilisi , Georgia .. i dont know what the csc code is for this country and do i need root to change my csc code?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mani.1:
No need to change the csc. Just download the polish firmware and install using odin. I also did that and my phone works flawlessly :laugh:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgptzac:
Been using my Vibrant ever since it came out and never deviated from the stock. The reason being that i intend my phone to be stable and want to use some of the t-mobile stuff which I fear may not be possible in other ROM. I've been reading the development section and I really have no idea which rom can fulfill my needs... since I couldn't find a list of stuff that doesn't work on those ROM.

Basically I'd like to retain the ability to use T-Mobile's wifi calling feature, plus the My Account app, (and 911, etc). Of course, the phone needs to be stable enough as I don't have a backup/landline phone. Optionally I'd like the new ROM to have a better reception in both cellular and wifi signal, as I feel they are somewhat lacking from all these years I've been using the phone.

If you think I should flash a custom ROM that's as bug-free as the rooted stock Froyo, I'd appreciate some suggestions :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
There is not a clear knowing of which rom will have issue with 911 dialing. As far as I know almost all if not all of the ICS and JB roms may have the issue. This user states he only managed to get 911 working on CM7: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952311

With CyanogenMod roms, you will lose T-Mobile WiFi (unless there is a way to install it to CM7 I'm not sure). The alternative is using Talkatone or GrooveIP which utilize Google Voice to make free calls. My Account and other T-Mobile apps are available in the Play Store.

If you do want to install CM7:

If you want to stick with stock, you can at least root the device. Follow the instruction above to get into ClockworkMod, but flash only the root package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479 (this only work with Android 2.1)

While you're at it, also flash the KB5 modem, which is the latest for the Vibrant, which can potentially improve signal: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036161

Before you flash any custom roms, I suggest you root the phone and try out the app LBE Security Master (link in my sig). It can do things like freeze apps (similar to titanium backup) and prevent apps from auto launching. It does help make the phone lighter and have other useful features like quick toggles. It's a powerhouse tool. The recent version have some issues with freezing app on my XPeria Play Gingerbread though, so try an older version if you have issues.

As long as your USB port is still functional, you can always use ODIN to flash the device back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
If you want Wifi calling you are going to have to stick with 2.2 / 2.2.1 / or it has been known to work with some 2.3 ROMs

If you want to remain with stock but have a little added features try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674519

The last Froyo ROMs I was a part of was Bi-Winning Redux (2.2.1) and Axura - Resurrected (2.2). Both of those roms are able to use Wifi calling. All are also able to use T-mo and Samsung apps.

Bi-Winning Redux

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1769424

Axura

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1787267

Those ROMs above (or any 2.2 / 2.2.1 in vibrant forum) should have working 911, and GPS with little issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgptzac:
Thanks for the information. I'm currently using the stock 2.2 (UVKB5). Did that e3 recovery thing and clockwork recovery sorta works... (only used it once to flash the latest (bugged) su binary). Bi-winning and axura both are cool looking mods. both says able do make wifi calls... is it not the same thing as Tmobile's wifi? I'm aware there are ways to route gvoice via wireless lan, but I'm trying to maintain two numbers :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Yes the Wifi calling on those two ROMs is the T-mo wifi calling. The Wifi calling apps should be attached in the treads as well.

I have tried transferring files via My Files app, File Expert, Astro, as well as connecting to PC via USB... it always gives an error and says unable to write! I have also tried to transfer from internal to external SD, still just says "copying failed". I've also tried via Kies.

The external SD is not locked as I used it in a previous phone, and the Note 2 can see the files on it (and play the music).

What's going on?!?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Uninstall and reinstall drivers worked for me, I don't know what happened I went they the same deal yesterday.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gatorrph:
My card worked perfectly for a while, then became write protected for no apparent reason and I started getting the same error message you are getting. I had to copy the contents to my PC then reformat SD card in the phone. After that it worked normally again and I was able to copy my data back to the phone .

Had the same issue and had to do the same thing to fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dawgneck:
For anyone with a similar problem described above, please try another USB cable. In some systems, the white USB cable that comes with this phone doesn't send data to computers properly - it supplies power but has problems with data.

Many people have reported this. I just confirmed it on my system. I connected my Note 2 to my system with 5 other usb cords and my system found the device every time. When I used Samsung's white usb cable the computer didn't see the Note 2.

Either Samsung did something with this usb cable or they're sending a lot of defective usb cables out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] venomshot629:
I am using a different cable and it detects the card, but as the others have said, it is "write protected" randomly.

I have even transferred all data to internal, formatted my external SD (via the Note 2 option), moved everything back over, it wrote files fine for a few days, and now it is auto-write-protected again. This is kind of ridiculous and is really a hassle especially seeing as most people use external cards for media.

Bump for a fix hopefully... We should not have to reformat every few days just to be able to use our cards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dawgneck:
Thanks for the clarification. I haven't experienced this issue (yet) and agree this is not related to the white Samsung USB cord..

I wonder if the phone has problems with certain cards. What type, brand and size memory card are you guys who are experiencing this problem using?

Hi Guys

I tried to backup my new NSTGL. I made the noogie-image on the sd - it seems to be ok.

But if I insert the card in the Nook and power it on, it doesn't boot from sd card - means that the "rooted forever" doesn't appear. Instead of it the regular "read forever" appears.

What's going wrong? Is anybody able to help me?

Thanks a lot.

[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
Check your sdcard - does it really have noogie copied onto it correctly and is it installed correctly - sometimes I find that it doesn't click all the way into the sd slot.

Thank you - i checked this. But i found a sollution as if I used another diskimager (winimager32) which works properly:

So wrote the disk another time and now it works.
[Nexus 7 General] crocodilutu:
Yesterday I updated to 4.2. When the battery was drained the tablet powered off and when I connected the charger it charged normally. Today it powered off and when I connected the charger the tablet wouldn't start. When finally did start it showed 15% - charging and after 5 seconds the tablet powered off, then after a while without touching it it started again and entered in this cycle of powering on and off. When it is powering off on the screen I see some green lines and dots flickering and hear a noise. I tried to hard reset with the power and volume buttons but it dosen't work.

Any ideas?:(

It WORKS!!

FIRST thanks to TrevE > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988735

now how it works on the SPRINT NOTE 2

stock rooted w/ latest update PALJC

if not already then update Super-SU from the market

if not already then install busybox from the market *(open the busybox app and click install on lower left)

download the latest version of TrevE's wifi tether in the above link on the first post

open wifi tether, grant SU.....then turn on wifi tether as normal and it should be working.

edit: encryption now works with TrevE's 11-18 nightly found in above link

What settings in the tether app do we change/set?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] viperv303:
None. Just make sure you have cleared the data and uninstalled any previous version of this app before installing this one. Then start it up and leave everything on its default settings. You can change the SSID and enabled encryption so that you can set a password, but don't have to touch anything else. When you start it, it should say installing binaries, and then ask for super user permission.

Would like to point out that it only works if you have SuperSU installed. If you have anything else, like superuser, it won't work. It'll act like it started. but it just won't work. Could probably play with the settings and make it work, but it was easier for me to just change to SuperSU.

Oh, and make sure you are running the latest busybox.

same here, BUT i'm noticing the tethering stops every so often and I have to restart it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Serren:
So I am trying to root my Note2 for tethering. I followed the instructions from post 1 but I am having problems.

I used Odin and ran the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1. It gave me the green Pass message. But when I boot into recovery, I don't get the nice interface, I get the Android System Recovery <3e> screen with text only options. With this I can apply CWM-SuperSU but it gives me an error, but says it installed fine. But when I run SuperSU, it errors out because there are no binaries installed. I even redid the Odin and use the 2.3.1.4 version of twrp, but same exact thing. I even tried flashing twrp from the Recovery but still the same.

Anyone have any advice or tips? What did I do wrong? I really need to get tethering working again or I will be forced to speak with my daughter in the car! lol..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
For those having issues, it's important to note you must install BUSYBOX BEFORE YOU RUN WIFITETHER. Even if you install it and restart Wifitether, it's too late. You'll have to manually clear Wifitether's app data to make it "see" busybox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProCision:
I can answer that for you. KC is pretty much the only place you will find 4-5 isp's on the same pole. I say 4-5 because there are small pockets where there are only 4. Google set it up as a test market because it has the most competition. Now back on topic. Time for me to root this beast.

i got disconnected every 10-15 min. anyone have same problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guisar:
Those who care about improved service need to show up at towm meetings or let your selectmen know your sick of their restricting cable and isp options to one provider. Charter, Verizon etc don't care about us and won't invest. If more providers are given access then service will improve. The. monopolies cable companies are given are the cause or crappy service in most. places. Kansas City just took their destinies into their own hands and told monopolies to stuff it.

I don't have those issues on either 3G or 4G. I do have mine set like the above post.

I have used both Driver 1 and Driver 2 Both work fine.

working on stock rooted Sprint Galaxy Note 2

The day that I got my Note 2 I rooted it. It has taken a few days to get the wifi tether working, but it is definitely working. You have to get the TrevE Mod and don't change the settings.

I'm running the 3.3-pre2 ***EXPERMIMENTAL*** version. It has been working fine for me. Used it all last week at work for six to sevens hours at a time. I didn't really change any settings. I use WiFi Driver reload 2, enabled don't disable bluetooth, enable access control, enable WiFi encryption, changed the SSID and created a passphrase. Everything else are the default settings. I also have BusyBox installed, which I believe is important for it to work properly. It's also good to have on a rooted phone.

Does it charge your bill?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
it hasn't mine yet. I think that is more that is more if you're stock rom and the build in hotspot. This circumvents whatever those triggers for Sprint about the hotspot usage.

Obviously, they'll going to notice something if you go from 5GB to 100GB in one month. I figure before they cut you off, they'll call you or send a letter to find out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike61096:
I don't think it will charge your bill. I've been using this for a month on my stock rom rooted SPH-L900 and sprint hasn't said or put anything on the bill.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
While it doesn't charge you, it is violating the T&C of your contract with Sprint. Sprint will have much better network controls once the new NV network is up and running fully and they will seriously crack down on tethering abuse. Don't be surprised when tethering abusers start getting their contracts cancelled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cybervyrus8587:
I've got a question. . I'm on sprint and I have a gn2 and a n7.. before I had these 2 awesome pieces of tech I used my fone all the time for streaming and reading at home and in the car.. now I do the same thing except in the car I tether to my n7. So my question is.. can sprint tell that I'm tethering to another "mobile" device? At least while in the car. I don't tether to anything else and I don't abuse my unlimited everything plan. I believe I would use the same amount of data either way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I don't know for certain. From reading other posts, it looks like they may be able to, but doesn't bring up a red flag itself unless your total data transfer is over such a limit. I don't know for certain.

I use this all the time to tether a tablet and old phone. I assume I'll probably ok, meaning not bring attention to myself, as long as my total usage is within what it was before I started using. It might be obvious if you normally use say 5GB/mn and now hitting 50GB/mn (as an example).

On a side note, my data transfer went way up, not so much from using my phone differently, but just being on LTE and using top feeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devydev937:
I am still getting an unable to connect message. I am running a root stock rom. any idea on what settings the app should be on? what is PALJC?

thanks for any help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
no idea what PALJC is. you may want to ask in the main WiFI tether thread under the GS3; the link is in the first post.

Beyond that, I"m not sure. Make sure you have busybox installed. It's not installed by default on the stock rom, and WiFi Tether uses it. It may have been installed under Jellybomb by default.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
It's shorthand for your rom version. Usually they just say LJC but paljc is correct too.

I changed roms and firmware to MA5. Still running a deoxded stock rom though. Also running Persesu Alpha 32 Kernal (jan 31).

I wasn't able to get WiFi tether version 3.2 beta 2 to run. It has all kinds of errors.

I was able to get version 3.3 preview 2 and the 11-22-12 version working. The key to get it working was enabling "Send Netd Max Client Cmd" Also, on 3.3 pre2, need to use Driver reload 2. Driver reload 1 turns on WiFi; like having Sprint's connection optimizer on and connecting the GN2 to a PC. Yes, I have it Sprint's Optimizer disabled.

I haven't done a thorough testing of it, but I did browse the web a bit and watched a few minutes of Netflix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kudzus:
To stop the WIFI Tether from disconnecting go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks and uncheck Connections optimizer. It will stop the system from taking control of WIFI and looking for free networks.
