Can you not just reinput your IMEI?

Yea you can if you got a day to kill messing with your phone and all the programs.... jesh. We tell you not to and it seems like you are making excuses to do it... just save yourself the huge trouble and headache. And us too... don't do it.

Ok i was just being curious if it would be a massive undertaking.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] squeezyb:
I also posted this in the Q&A section, but I am getting desperate.

ok,

So like an idiot, i began the S-OFF process without reverting my SuperCID. I cannot get past step 8, and i am having errors flashing my RUU.

Right now i cannot get past the bootloader. If i try to fastboot reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader. If i try a reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader.

Is there something that i can flash to get me back and running? I have tried numerous things, and i really need my phone back tonight. Grandfather is in the hospital, and i have no way to contact anyone except through facebook / email.

does anyone have some ideas, or know what i need to do? I honestly dont care about root or s-off, i can do that later. Right now i just need a bootable phone.

help!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Do you have recovery installed, and remember you have to relock your device for ruu to work
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Jafmf95:
SuperCID likely isn't your issue. If you get a SuperCID error just flash the RUU again. The instructions say something about error 90, and I think the error code is 92. I got the error the first flash, flashed again and it went on just fine.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] squeezyb:
its all good now, and superCID was the problem. make sure you revert back before trying to s-off. i missed that step in the process and about pooped my pants when it wasnt working.

whenever I install CM10 on my tmobile galaxy S2, people seem to not hear me correctly. is there a fix for this. anyone else experiencing the same issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ctrlaltdeln:
Disable/enable noise suppression in call settings menu. The case is usually the culprit. Also can try flashing different radio as a last resort.

Also Google it. Xda has hundreds of people with same issue. I'm sure u can resolve this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fear of Oneself:
Hello all. Today I was playing with my phone, just doing some tinkering, running a ROM called Xylon (4.2.1) in the phone settings. You know, where you hit *#*#4636*#*# or something rather. Now I changed my network type to GSM, (or something rather) but saw I only got 2G, so I switched it back to WCDMA preferred, and left. (Honestly can't remember if I changed something else)

Now, every time I try and send a text, it says sending.... then it fails. All the time, to any number. Which is obviously annoying.

So I went ahead and flashed another ROM, clearing all my data, cache, dalvik etc. However this problem persists. Even using a different SMS app. What should these settings be? I haven't touched them after flashing another ROM.

I know I'm a goof, but I rely heavily on SMS, and I was just looking for a way to have it stay on HSDPA more often instead of 3G. Now I want to revert to stock. Many, many thanks for any help at all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fear of Oneself:
Here are screen shots of my settings. Again, I'm pretty desperate, and need some help :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fear of Oneself:
Okay, I think I got it. My SMSC number was missing. This is basically a message center number, that is specific to the carrier. I remember seeing it back on my Blackberries, and on my old Gingerbread powered Captivate, but the settings are obviously different from ICS and above. (ICS has been out for so long, that I forgot)

So, basically you do this, go back into the settings that I showed you in the screen shot above. Leave everything disabled, and have the network on WCDMA

Use this tutorial http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/SMSC_Updates

Fido's SMSC is +15149931123

hit update and reboot

If not, try 07915141991321f3

and reboot (same thing, but it HEX)

hopefully none of you have that problem

EDIT: Girlfriend confirmed, that was the problem. Now the phone works like a champion
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alternetconcept:
I just activated my phone last night and finally got the data up and running at about 2PM today.

I'm currently on T-mo pre-paid plan $30/mo 100 min unlimited text/data plan.

I was doing some speed tests in Long Island City (Queens, NY) and I couldn't seem to break 1.5 mbps.

Is the NYC area not a 42+ area? Is it because my phone still needs a bit more time to adjust or something?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshtonTS:
Look on their coverage maps for your area... Sounds like they're just not an HSPA-42 area
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alternetconcept:
Even if it's not 42+, based on the coverage map it shows that it has 'excellent' coverage in all of NYC.

So why the low speed?

[HTC One X] iiDeadSeriousii:
I'm getting a One X for my girlfriend either tonight or tomorrow. She's very technically incapable, she just wanted something better than that Lumia 900 she's had for a while and I found this One X on the cheap lol. Basically I'm gonna root, unlock, and flash a ROM on day 1 cause I've had HTC devices before and the battery and stock performance is usually....meh, to put it nicely. So I'd rather avoid that headache and just cut the problem straight at the beginning.

I'm looking through the development section and I've narrowed it down to 3. Maximus, Android Revolution, and ORDroid. Now the key things I'm looking for here are:

1) Ease of use

2) Stability

3) Battery life

4) Preferably OTA updates cause it's so easy even a girlfriend can do it.

5) Preferably no compromises on camera, wifi, bt, or anything.

I know it seems like I'm asking a lot, but really I just want to know what's my best option here and since I don't have a One X myself to test these ROMs out there's nobody better to ask than you guys. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

EDIT: Sorry mod, I just realized I posted this in international One X. Is it possible to have it moved to the AT&T One X forum? Or does it not matter?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Just let it die. PS don't flash anything in the International One X section or risk a bricked phone.

Hi guys i am so nervous because of mi xps doesn´t weak up, its already in bootloop.

I have tried a lot of things, because i have an unlocked bootloader, the pc recognised the phone, and it seems that via fastboot i can flash a recovery like Advanced Stock Kernel, but really the phone still in bootloops and i have not got recovery

I have connected to flashtools and flash .55 ftf, the flashtools told that everything is good, but incomprensively de phone still in bootloops.

Now the phone is charging (all the leds working) but after five minutes, the phone turns on and bootloop again.

The zip that i flash before the bootlops is this: http://www.mediafire.com/?67mcui28bh3f45o of this threat: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1724602 , ICS STATUS BAR V3

Try flashing stock fw using flashtool again?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
you are on .55, the version used for that mod is .45 thats why you get bootloop, all you need to do is to reflash the stock firmware via flashtool.

always been said before: before to do anything else,make a backup.so in case of problems you will still have your backup. :)

EDIT- If you got custom recovery you can have a look here:

All-in-one custom bootanimation installer + support [Aroma]

Otherwise proceed on this thread:

How to get a custom bootanimation to work when your rom/kernel does not support it (yet)?

MANUAL METHOD ( for devices without CWM6 recovery)

Just follow these simple steps to the letter:

1. Place the bootanimation.zip file of your choice in /system /media

2. Still in /system /media , backup and then delete bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg files

EDIT: Deleting these qmg files is OPTIONAL ( I always delete stuff I am not using, to create more space in /system , but that's up to the user )

3. Then go to /system /bin , backup and then delete samsungani (This one you have to delete no optional, not optional cause....see step 4 )

4. Still in system /bin rename the file bootanimation to samsungani ( yes there is also in /system /bin a file called bootanimation but without .zip)

EDIT- Extra info: Adjusting permissions for the the bootanimation.zip as rw-r--r--, seems to be helping those few users having problems to get the animation working:

And to make it even better you can adjust owenrship also like this:

[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Resolution 800x1280 and frames per second (24)

The fact that the Note II got 720 x 1280, don't matter much in the case of these animations

.
[Galaxy Note II General] My1xT:
well, what about the 2nd line???
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Well this thread is not about on how to edit/create bootanimatios, it's just about how to get them working on not supported roms/kernels , but let's go again:

"800" is the width of the animation

"1280" is the height of the animation

’24′ is the desired fps of the animation (Usually I use 20 or 30 on my own animations, but that's of course depends on the animation)

‘p’ defines a animation part (some animations have 2 or more parts)

’0′ defines that it loops forever (until android starts)

’0′ defines a pause

And remember that the thanks button works...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] My1xT:
thx, maybe I will try to create one...

maybe I try this when I root my phone...

To remove boot sound:

Go to /system /media/ /audio /ui And remove or rename PowerOn.ogg

and after I reset the right to rw-rw-rw- I get Black boot (screen stays black even when finished...)
[Galaxy Note II General] pransh:
My Bootanimation disappeared. My phone boots without any animations.

What I did:

Wiped cache and dalvik cache

Flashed the custom_bootanimation_enabler

Copied bootanimation.zip to /system/media with rw-r-- permissions

Reboot

My ROM initially already had a custom bootanimation. Does that make a difference?
[Galaxy Note II General] My1xT:
maybe it should be rw-r--r--

This thread is about how to get custom bootanimation support and it's not about teaching how to fix animations or to teach how to edit them

However there is thread which is specialized on that particular bootanimation you are trying to use:

I guess you can post all your questions over there, since the OP over there posted his links on one of my threads...

Once you properly enabled custom bootanimation support on your device you can for instance download and edit all kind of bootanimations using a great app called Rom Toolbox:

I think the nexus7 animation link is wrong.

I installed it, and did it correctly, the samsung animation is gone, and there is a new animation, but it is nothing like the picture in this thread, it's only a blue word (android) that has a white flowing glow over it, that's all..

Tried the adapted nexusHD by you, exactly the same.
[Galaxy Note II General] My1xT:
try to set the permissions of the bootanimtion.zip to rw-r--r--

that should do it.
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Just re-tested it again to be sure...

There is nothing wrong with the download link, if you got it from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037324

You probably forgot to rename it to bootanimation.zip or renamed it incorrectly (typo?).

.
[Galaxy Note II General] Delano.888:
Thanks, sorry I missed that, now it totally works.

Might be useful to mention that in the OP, OP :P

BTW the N7 one is now gone from the OP, could you put it back so I can try again? It's different from the NHD right?

NVM found the N7 one back in my history, now both the N7 & the NHD work after setting rw-r--r--

The N7 one is really awesome! You should put that and the NHD back in the OP.
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
The Nexus7 bootanimation never was on OP, but maybe on second post which have a link where you can find it and other bootanimations which are designed and/or adapted by me (and of course tested).

BTW, I never need to adjust permissions to rw-r--r-- to get a bootanimation working ( as many users don't), but if it's doing the trick for some of you, I will add the info to first post.

.
[Galaxy Note II General] My1xT:
well ,one question, how do YOU put in you animation. many people having this problem simply copypaste that with a explorer app

if you do it with ADB od whatever, then maybe the umask which sets the rights could be another, so you could have pre-set permissions...
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
I do it manually, using root explorer app without adjusting permissions nor ownership

I don't know why some users need to adjust permissions, but I added the extra info to first post anyway.

Anyway, the most common reason you will get the standard android bootanimation instead, is when you rename the custom one incorrectly ...

.
[Galaxy Note II General] Delano.888:
Thanks, I see now you have 2 threads that look 99% the same :P

I use ES file manager (which also has root stuff) so maybe that's why I needed to adjust permissions.
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Added to first post :
[Galaxy Note II General] My1xT:
while you are adding infos you can add the info about PowerOff.ogg as someone said already...

Why do I keep keeping: Android is upgrading, starting apps each time I boot?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Thanks.

Android is upgrading screen can occur due many reasons, like patched apps, or some startup app or a recent mod

But if you think it started to happen after you started using custom bootanimation, you can try adjusting permissions.

But I don't think it's related.
