[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PNGC:
So, I'm trying to run TripNDroid ROM (check here), but currently that ROM on 4.2.1 doesn't support my HBOOT, 1.12.

I checked me CID, which is HTC_304, and I see it is compatible with HBOOT 1.39.

Now, I read somewhere that if I update to a more recent HBOOT I might not be able to flash some ROMs only compatible with older HBOOTs. So, should I update my HBOOT or not? If so, how?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PNGC:
Also, is it normal for a certain rom to be flashable on my HBOOT but not another, even though both are same OS (4.2.1)?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeroHertZ:

Would this work on cmenard rom 4.1.2 rom??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] geekasso:
I do not see why not. Please make a backup first. This zip just injects the images into systemui.apk. It does not overwrite or replace any system files.

I flashed the blue one but it just showed up for a couple of minutes and then it went back to my green circle battery that I had before. Any suggestions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] geekasso:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apagan4182:
I recently installed CleanRom 5.5.1 but didn't install S-Voice. I assume I need to re-flash the rom in order to get back to Aroma to install it?

Do I need to wipe anything if I'm re-flashing the same rom?

I've also installed LeanKernel, will I need to re-flash that as well?

Finally, I have Google Wallet installed. Do I need to reset it, before I flash the rom (since its the same one)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdub251:
Yes to all those. I always wipe dalvic and cache before installing anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
You don't need to wipe, but I always wipe cache and dalvik cache everytime I flash rom, but don't have to, also you don't need to reflash kernel, but if you do it only take a few seconds. During the Aroma install, make sure you select all the stuff that you want including the S-Voice. I do believe the Google Wallet will be reset so you need to resetup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] philo_:
Wondering if anyone here has any experience or recommendations. I moved to an area where T-Mobile service is terrible. I'm considering doing the straight talk bring your phone option and getting the AT&T compatible sim since my phone is unlocked. I'm not sure how this would work as far as what radio i'd need to flash and whether other people have had good experiences with straight talk especially using a "tmobile" device with the at&t sim/service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TwoStax:
So Im taking it Straight Talk runs off at&t towers? I always thought it was verizon guess ill be looking into it more because I have the same exact issue.. I need to find a way to sim unlock my phone for free and if not free then something pretty cheap because I refuse to pay 25$ to websites i question are reliable or not. If you find anything post it and ill do the same for you. Also Straight talk sells sim cards for their service for 10$ if you didnt already know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] philo_:
With straight talk bring your phone it operates off tmobile and or at&t towers and is gsm. Verizon is cdma and from what i've seen on the straight talk website they don't do cdma. Regarding an unlock call the carrier and as long as you up to date on your bill and have had service for a few months they should provide you with an unlock code for free. There is also a thread around here for a free T989 unlock it's a pretty easy process from what I recall.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TwoStax:
Thanks for the info, The reason I didnt try getting A unlock code from tmobile before was because i herd you have to have your phone paid off before they would give you one because you could easily just switch service and keep the phone. Is that true? Because im still paying off my phone they add 20$ to my bill each month because the credit of the account holder wasnt good enough. Im gonna try looking for the thread you mentioned though.

EDIT: Also after i unlocked my phone could I use the same sim ive been using until i buy my new one? Or should i just wait to unlock when i get the new sim card? Sorry for all the questions i just wanna be cautious about this so i dont end up bricking my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pfer10:
If you unlock you can still use your sim. I am getting a rom put on T-989 right now with a Straight Talk Sim card. I unlocked mine back in April but then got the Note. I was on Tmobile but data was horrible outside the big cities. Have been on the AT&T ST sim since last April on my Note and love it. Just wanted to try the GS2 out again and looking for a decent rom. Having trouble with slim bean and CM.

Also tell T-mobile you are going to travel overseas in Europe and you want to use some prepaid plans there. They should unlock then even if still under contract.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TwoStax:
Well if you want a good rom for the tmobile sii tryout jedimindtricks x3 (Not the version 6 because your calling wont work), its a good rom has the s3 gallery, supervideo, and media player. I would post a link but i need 10 post. :o thanks for the help though. ima see if i cant get it unlocked by myself first. last resort will be tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GS2_Man:
Both, the phones they used to sell would have either a "C" or "G" at the end of the model# indicating whether it was CDMA or GSM compatible. Not sure about some of their newer phones though, since I think they also have HSPA phones now.

I would imagine the network they assign you to when you bring your own phone would depend on your current network since I think they still operate on both towers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pfer10:
When you buy the sim you can select either Tmobile or AT&T. AT&T has better coverage in my area. You can't buy the sim at Wally World. Only online.

Hello,

i have an annoying bug :crying:

I flash something in CWM and after the flash it always boots into CWM. Not into Android.

I wiped data, cache, dalvik but the bug is still here.

Can someone help me?

which ROM are you in? try a restore if you have nandroid backup....\

Was wondering if anyone on here has printed out from amazon wireless or walmart.com and taken it to best buy to get a price match when activating a new line. Just wanna see if their are some tips before i head over to best buy and see that would do a price match.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twe90kid:
i did the pricematch on an upgrade line... not too hard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin420:
i did this also. best buy price matched the 149 new line note on amazon as an upgrade. when it dropped to 99, i just took the print out back in and they gave me a 50 dollar gift card since i was within my return period.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] damnitdave:
Yeah im about to take a print out of the amazon wireless into bestbuy, i had only christmas money to play with to buy a phone and i went with the optimus G... but if i can get a price match for amazon wireless i would be happy to fork up an extra 70 bucks for the note 2... should i call around first or actually go into a best buy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
It was very subjective at the two Best Buys I talked to before. Try calling and make sure you get the name.

The second store was going to price match but then could not because I was on SERO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandizzle20:
I did And got it for 149.99 If its on backorder Then theyWill only do it for 199.99
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] drpal181:
They can price match the note because amazon is the seller not a third party store. The guy I talk too at first said no because the note could not be bought of the moble version of the website. I told him he had to go to the full site to buy the phone by pressing on the hyperlink. It is amazing a phone rep did not his brower could veiw full sites. I got the price match rate at 149 on monday. It went up to 249 the next day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ntron1:
I walked in and told them I wanted to return the phone. They asked why. I told them it was 1/2 price on Amazon. They looked it up and refunded me the $150 + tax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 477427:
I took advantage of it and got the note 2 for 49.99 and t the galaxy s3 for a penny by price matching Amazon. The mobile stores won't if they are back ordered, but the big box store gave me no trouble an hour later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] damnitdave:
So an update, just got back and ended up getting it for $139.99... i guess the chick i talked to thought it was a new line when it was an add a line... so with my return of the optimus g and the case... i ended up paying around $20 bucks... pretty smooth transaction with no questions asked besides why i was switching
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ishsed:
note 2

so can anybody help me out i have a upgrade and i won't to get the phone and price match it at best buy. but i just check the amazon wireless website and as i can see all the prices went back up to 250 even for a new line. Im just trying to get the note 2 for a great deal.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

so you was able to use your upgrade and get the note 2 for the price listed for a new line

im going to try that. do you thinks it better to go in the store or call first and see if i can get my phone upgraded, at adding a new line prices. amazon wireless has the phone for 169 if you add a line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I would just go in. If at first they deny then ask for a manager. If in the end it doesn't work then call the 1800 number. Their policy right now is to price match online retailers. They have to honor it. Unless the policy just ended since the holidays are over.

I went in to BestBuy mobile today and the guy at the store was like, yeah I can't sell you a phone that cheap, I'll lose money on it. Im going to try a BestBuy store wednesday and see if I can get this cheaper. Would be sweet so I can use that extra saved cashed to buy a nexus tablet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I got my first price match at a bb mobile. There are some real dumb employees out there. He doesn't lose any money, he gets paid hourly and no commission on sales so it doesn't hurt them one bit. He just wants to show he can say no. Oh well. Good luck at the best buy. Best way to show that employee that said no is to bring the receipt from bb and show him not everyone is uptight. Unless the bb store refuses it also due to holidays being over.

i went to best buy to get it price match and they was like. amazon has the note 2 on the website for backorder and cause of that they cant sell it to me. it has to say in stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revs9k01:
Complete BS......

I even printed the webpage and took it in that said backordered and they price matched me and also no where on their price match guarantee policy does it state that if an item is backordered in the previous store that they cannot perform the price match. If I were you and that was my only Best Buy option, I would print their policy online and take it with you while asking them to point out where it states what they are saying (ofcourse run thru it again to be certain).

EDIT!!!!

I apologize but it appears that they do have such a clause on their policy......

"What if the competitor does not have the item in stock or has limited quantities of the product?

Sometimes a retailer will advertise a product as having limited quantities in stock. If the item is out of stock or the competitor has advertised as limited quantities of an item, it is not eligible for price matching. Likewise, if Best Buy has a product that is advertised as being limited in quantity it will not be eligible for price matching."

What a bunch of bull......

Sorry I couldn't be of more help....

What do you guys have to say when going into best buy with the printout? Can I take the my phone with amazon loaded and show it to best buy mobile?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Uchennadi:
I didn't even take a print out. I just walked in and asked if they price match amazon. The sales rep said yes, he looked up the price on Amazon, and I walked out with a new phone for the amazon price. He even told me to keep checking amazon to see if the price comes down any lower so I could come in and get the difference back. This is definitely the only way I'm getting phones from now on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheNeck:
my bestbuy when i told them about the price on amazon, they just looked it up on the sales persons smartphone, and then on the computer as well, they didnt even care it was backordered.

also i traded my evo 3d in which i did the buy back program and got a $210 gc to use to purchase my note 2. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazie1:
OK thanks guys, I tried at a best buy and the lady said guess what? She said they don't price match from Amazon, I was like really and she said yes only from stores not websites. I had a walmart print out too and she said she had to see if they had em in stock before she sold me one, which they didn't. She was complicated....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lyvewire:
I tried this at with Best Buy online just now and was told they don't honor Amazon since its not a "physical" store so they cant honor it. My phone is on the way so when it comes I'll try it at a store instead. Maybe tell them I was I'm disappointed they don't really do what they say then bluff to return it. See if that works.

This is my 3rd Note 2. The first I bought from Sprint $341 with tax. Returned it to get it cheaper at Best Buy and accidental insurance. Skipped Amazon after I was told they can penalize you for switching phones for a different line. Now I ended up with this "Chameleon error", (after flashing a bad update or Rom), that I made go away with a fix but my 4GLTE seems to be acting weird. Not coming on in places I was getting it before. Didn't wanna chance it so they're sending me a new one now since I'm under 30 days still.

Seems like a lot of people had better luck though in this thread..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] damnitdave:
I took in a print out to BB and the guy just told me that he would have to look it up still on amazon's website.... he even called the manager and he looked at the website and said it looks legit... i guess its a hit or miss depending on the store that you goto... kinda sucks though i wanted a titanium version but looks like all the stores in the chicagoland area are not carrying them in stock anymore... nonetheless this phone is BEAST!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
That's exactly what it is. It's hit or miss at bb and bb mobile. I'm lucky that both my bb mobile and bb matched it all 3 times. Ended up paying $99 for mine. It sucks that so many are doing different things when it comes to one policy.

This is DEFINITELY a YMMV situation, but I was eligible for an upgrade. I went to Best Buy and asked to prove match Amazon's price, the manager approved it at the 99.99 price, even though it was an upgrade. They also bought my GS3 for $155 AND gave me a $50 gift card for using them. So after taxes, I got a brand new Note 2, flip case AND had 55 in Best Buy credit to use as I wanted, without spending a dime!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I think the reason it looks alot like note 2 is because the size is going up to either 5.3 or 4.99 or something in that range. If that's the case out means that the note 2 is probably getting bigger in which case I'm not getting note 3.

Very true. In eBay you have hassle of the fees and shipping and craigslist is just a pain all the way around. That's why last time I sold my phone I used swappa.com. that place is great and smooth transaction. Only fee was $10 and shipping costs have to be calculated into the asking price.
