Then you should re-install the Acer drivers and make sure that Windows does not install it own drivers during first connection.

It depends what u want root for

If you're on ics now and want to flash roms or custom recovery,

then u need the unlocked bootloader first and to get that you need

your cpuid....all is revealed in the first two guides in my sig

for adb drivers you need android sdk...there's a mini zip file just with adb

and fastboot drivers in the cpuid guide

Be very sure you do everything in the order the guides say

And do a backup soon as you can

Good luck

Stock 4.1.1 JB ROM (rooted)

KT747 Kernel (ktoonservative/cfq, 384-1512 MHz)

PlayerPro Music Player

I listen to music through Bluetooth in my car. I was having a problem where the music would keep playing and switch to the speaker after turning off the car. It's supposed to pause on disconnect instead. I tried to fix it with Tasker and it worked, but I could still hear it go to speaker for a few seconds before pausing.

I'm not sure if this started happening after installing the KT747 kernel or not (upgraded to JB about the same time). I tried going back to the stock kernel and it still happened, so I installed the KT747 kernel again.

To fix it, I went into KTweaker->Extras and set Bluetooth Profile MHz to 486 MHz. This fixed the problem completely. The Bluetooth Profile MHz option was originally added in order to prevent Bluetooth sound from crackling.

If you're getting this problem on the stock kernel, then I suggest using SetCPU to set your minimum to 486 MHz (or higher) on whatever profile is active while using Bluetooth. You have to be rooted to use SetCPU though. I don't know if this problem happens on a completely stock ROM.

I just saw in Miami that we're getting 4G LTE today and want to know if it's compatible with the T989 s2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
No. We don't have the right hardware needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Wonder why we have lte settings in network preferred and toggles on some roms? Then if you flash back to a gb rom the secret menu has settings for lte too. Don"t know myself though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Well that sux...so when they say they are bringing it to 200 million people this year it must be people without a contract so they could get a new phone doesn't make sense to me....according to a tmo rep it will be but I don't trust their knowledge....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
Unless Tmo planned for 1.5 years ahead when they launched the Herc, I doubt we have the right hardware. Hopefully it does have support and Tmo did plan for the future but they're keeping it a secret ;). Because when they build the source for a ROM, they don't take out individual little things for certain devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
I guess only time will tell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
Don't get your hopes up. I think the S3 and Note 2 are the only ones that are capable at the moment and they will need a software upgrade to unlock it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Because firmwares are made by Samsung and the skyrocket has lte. The firmwares are designed for simplicity. Meaning, Samsung only has to make one firmware for all variants. That's why that option is there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Actually the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH-T999) is NOT capable of it period. I have one. But i did read rumors that they may be making another S3, one with the exact same specs, but adding an LTE capable chip. T-Mobile went on the cheap side with their S3 and used the same chip as the ATT and other variants, but cut out the LTE capabilities. Kinda dumb but hey im not the CEO. lol.

But you are right, the Note 2 just needs a firmware update to enable LTE, also, the only other phone capable of T-Mobile LTE is the Windows Phone 8X.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
So like I said then it's stupid for T-Mobile to say they are bringing lte to 200 million customers this year when most of them won't be able to use it...I'm under contract till March 2014 so I won't be able to use it till then...that's bs....unless they give me a new phone.....NOT....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Yeah I feel you.. it is bull. But then again neither sprint nor Verizon have existing contracts holders an lte device when they rolled it out. Guess that's just how it goes.

[HTC One S] HeartOfFart:
When trying to restore/unroot my One S something bad happened. I'm not sure, but I or the program I tried to use somehow erased the memory and completely removed the phone OS. What should I do to get my phone back to life?

EDIT:

My phone is back to life!

The solution that worked was a mixture of a few previously posted on xda.

I followed this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing

Under ROM flashing I did steps 4-7 and then flashed the boot.img for my chosen Rom(Currently UTB: http://www.connect-utb.com/utb-rom-for-the-htc-one-s/) via CMD. Then I powered down, waited for a bit, and started the phone again. The phone finally worked as it was supposed, I got past boot image and entered the normal phone configuration.

The reason I chose UTB Rom was because someone else have had positive results with this Rom

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720 post #8),

which also proved correctly for me as I tried to install another Rom without success just a few mins later. (To get it to work again I followed my own instructions above, and it worked)

Thanks for your help! And I hope this solution will guide and help others with similar problem in the future!

[HTC One S] Rsotbiemrptson:
Hello,

If you can get to the bootloader then you should relock it and flash the RUU for your phone. That will return it to stock and you can reroot or do whatever.

[HTC One S] AKToronto:
You could also just reflash the ROM of your choice by going into TWRP custom recovery, mounting your sd card and copying the ROM over.

Then flash the ROM, and dont forget to also fastboot the relevant boot.img for that rom.

TWRP recovery is better than CW as it does allow you to mount your sd card. So download TWRP (google it) and fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img

then load the recovery then mount sd card. You should be good to go from there, unless your SD Card is corrupted. If that is the case, then check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

Yes, I can get into bootloader, but can't find the right RUU for my version.
[HTC One S] HeartOfFart:
Thanks guys, it's awesome that you help me!

Didn't find the correct RUU, so I get an error..

The other method posted will be tried out tomorrow!
[HTC One S] HeartOfFart:
I'm trying, but it doesn't work for me. Will give some more effort into this tomorrow. Does anyone have a good way to find the right RUU?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
Impressive work you are attempting. It would def be cool to have the same radio functionality that Iphone 5 peeps have. I am on AT&T, but it would be cool to be able to load the CDMA and related stuff to a GSM phone as well. Good luck, I will be foloowing your thread, mostly out of curiosity.

I can successfully see a ATT/T-Mobile GSM network type with the NV-Items hack. I need to do the sim card mod now. I'll order parts this weekend and until then there isn't too much I can do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evolone:
Great news! Excellent work by the way, would love to see this end up working!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockerrock:
I can now run a ATT flashed modem. When selecting Mobile Networks it tells me to insert a sim card. I'm getting reboots every 3-5 minutes but I think it's kernel related. The ROM is half the battle, ATT modem boot looped on SPR ROM. I should be able to connect to GSM once I do the SIM hack for proof of concept.

Recap:

NV-Items of the ATT to T-Mobile flashed (AWS/GSM unlock, use both ATT and Tmobile on ATT GN2)

Flashed ATT ROM

Failed flashing ATT Persues kernel (stuck at samsung logo)

Flashed Sprint Persues kernel

Flashed ATT modem

I desperately need the NV-ITEMS from an international phone in txt format.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mackentosh:
this may have nothing to do with what your doing but ill ask anyway :o I ported a verizon note 2 rom over to sprint galaxy note 2 and everything works but LTE is it possible to get it to work? Its the JellyBeans Rom in the sprint forum
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockerrock:
From my understanding the customization of the chipset is in relation to LTE frequencies which are hawdware related. It's the same for the Nexus 4, it supports LTE unofficially on band 4 due to LG keeping in their Optimus LTE chip. Nexus 4 on LTE only works in certain areas in the country due to ATT only providing LTE band 4 in very limited areas.

I doubt I can "unlock" to the point where a Sprint/Verizon phone can see each other's LTE frequencies as LTE is a different chip in question (most frequently) as LTE courier customization is specific to the courier/device.

I may be wrong as it depends on the chip in question and how it's implemented. I need to find a photo of both Sprint/Verizon mainboards and compare. My work focuses on GSM/AWS bands for HSDPA+ and 3G as it is more likely to work as the chipset known supports these bands. Please feel free to post pics of the boards or chipset info and I'll look into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockerrock:
Due to my NV-Items trick I now can use QPST to dump a full nvitems+more. I cannot restore items though

When in GSM mode I'm getting an Emergency Calls Only/Enter SIM which means it should work with a SIM chip.

ATT modem + ATT/AWS nvitems unlock on ATT ROM; SPR Kernel.

Buying a cracked screen working ATT Note 2 sometime today for $325 for additional testing :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Yeah, I really doubt you will get VZW LTE working as for one you will not Auth with their system. Second I am sure the transceiver in our version of the phone is not capable of that frequency on the LTE path.

-- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockerrock:
Agreed, my goal is to get HSDPA GSM data working on Sprint Note 2. Verizon allready has a method of unlocking http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044449. I do agree that it's impossible for LTE to work on any method as LTE chip is a whole different ballgame than what I'm attempting. It may be possible but someone would have to start by getting a VZW and SPR mainboard and comparing chips. Even if you somehow get the radio working you would might need to hack the ESN which is ILLEGAL, although VZW does use SIM cards..

However I can see VZW frequencies on my Note 2 right now. Alternating between EVDOa and eHRPD.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Side note... Altering an ESN isn't just caps illegal, it is caps/bold/underscored/red font illegal. A federal felony from what I've read.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockerrock:
Yup, modifying ESN has absolutely nothing to do with my research. My goal is to utilize a provider's SIM on GSM to connect to ATT/TMobile with stock IMEI/ESN. Verizon uses a SIM in their Note2/S3 in which if they accept your ESN/IMEI with their SIM is their discretion. ESN/IMEI, etc is stored in NV Items which is in the modem baseband, not the ASIC. Swapping SIM cards are perfectly legal so removal/replacement of the embedded SIM is legal. ESN/IMEI is like a car's VIN which is illegal to touch, SIM is more like a license plate on a car. I'm a firm believer in its your device do what you want but once you enable your modem to interact with the public infrastructure you are bound to it's rules, period.

On another note I have a ATT Note 2 now but I sold the Sprint Note 2 to get the Nexus 4. I can continue my research into GSM on my Sprint S3 and provide dumps for the ATT Note 2.

I'm fairly certain that I have accomplished a US GSM unlock on my Sprint Note 2 as it exhibits the same symptoms as a Unlocked phone without a SIM, Emergency Calls Only. However I do not see ATT/T-Mobile in my network operators menu which I'm sure the VZW APN hack will fix or it's because I don't have a SIM.

It's going to take someone with a Sprint S3/Note 2 with SIM mod and some tinkering around to get this to work. I'll get a SIM board for my S3 but it's going to take some time as I'm busy with work and my girlfriend. If anything was learned, it was that the S3/Note 2 is pretty much damn near unbrickable. I've flashed every firmware known to man, trashed my NV ITEMS, wiped my ESN/MSL and recovered to absolutely working activationable stock. Don't be afraid to experiment, just BACKUP and BACKUP your BACKUPS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] leond:
I am stuck at this step:

13. Next is to flash over a ATT modem/radio in TWRP. Download the modem HERE

THIS MODEM WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE TO BOOT LOOP. Although I found on my device it only rebooted every 5 mins or so.

It does cases boot loop, only it's not every 5 minutes, but instantenious, right after "Android is upgrading" Am i missing something?

Update: with ATT ROM, it does give me 2-3 minutes before reboot, however it won't see the Sprint SIM with ATT modem file. I've also tried few other modems from Verizon and some other GN2 carriers, same story. currently i have no SIM mode installed, but I think it should still see SPRINT chip/SIM because it is emmulating a LTE/GSM SIM. SIM manager says SIM state unknown.

Is this the same for you? how are you able to see the T-mobile and AT&T , if you can't get n to the mobile networks menu?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Seeing PCS and CLR VZW is easy. I don't think you will auth on ehrpd though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
technically it can be argued that if no fraud is committed no CRIME is committed with altering the ESN information. it would be nearly impossible to be convicted or anything since you defrauded no one.

right from the FCC

What Is Cell Phone Cloning Fraud?

Every cell phone is supposed to have a unique factory-set electronic serial number (ESN) and telephone number (MIN). A cloned cell phone is one that has been reprogrammed to transmit the ESN and MIN belonging to another (legitimate) cell phone. Unscrupulous people can obtain valid ESN/MIN combinations by illegally monitoring the radio wave transmissions from the cell phones of legitimate subscribers. After cloning, both the legitimate and the fraudulent cell phones have the same ESN/MIN combination and cellular systems cannot distinguish the cloned cell phone from the legitimate one. The legitimate phone user then gets billed for the cloned phone’s calls. Call your carrier if you think you have been a victim of cloning fraud.

when "WE" clone absolutely none of this is happening. it could very legitimately be argued that our cloning is not cloning in the wireless telecom act sense of the term but "jail breaking" which IS perfectly legal.

Note the actual LAW in question right from the gov

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-105publ172/pdf/PLAW-105publ172.pdf

notice all the knowingly with intent to commit fraud word usage? if your not committing fraud you could argue the law does not even apply.

if you own both devices and you own the service legitimately it could be argued this is simply a policy issue with the provider (there only recourse which is to discontinue service with you) and NOT one of fraud or afoul of the wireless telecom act of 1998. ie cloning law.

but that is a discussion not for this forum while it is likely very legal the forum owners would prefer us not to discuss "details" of how to do this to protect themselves legally and that is a sensible position to hold.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JMHershey125:
why does sprint have to make this so hard for us?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] leond:
they subsidize the phone, so they don't want to make it easy for you to use it on the different network. By doing so, they make it hard for you to leave Sprint (temporarily or permanently) and give your money to someone else. quite understandable I think :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Agreed. There are unlocked versions of phones out there if you really don't want Sprint. And you know what you're getting (normally) when you sign the contract. Only exception may be the NV issues.

but isn't this a software problem, since the hardware is almost the same between all the note 2 versions
