[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Goblinlord:
So... I have been on a custom ROM for a while now. The ROM I have been using is great... unfortunately... I have been having constant problems on the market. Currently, I can go to the market on the web and it still lists my device from when it had the latest stock version. My issue is that now it is showing a TON of apps that are incompatible which is complete BS. I was able to get some of the APKs and had some from a titanium backup I had done previously... and they all work perfectly fine.

I did a wipe of market data and removed my account on my phone. I then rebooted, added my account, and started up the market. This fixed about half of the apps... but I still have a ton of apps showing incompatible.

To try and track down this issue... can someone post a build.prop from the latest stock build? I want to try some modifications to my build.prop to try and fix the issue. Currently, I am on the King Kang ROM (AOKP+Paranoid)

EDIT: Was able to restore my device ID from a backup from when I was running stock. I am now able to install things... though it worries me that the problem could re-occur as with its normal configuration it would prevent installation of some applications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Did you ever change the DPI on your phone? That will make installing things from the market impossible unless you have a modded market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Goblinlord:
however it was set on this ROM is where it was initially and had problems. I changed with Paranoid but other than that no. After changing with Paranoid I can still DL most apps. Though... the DPI is pretty jacked immediately after flashing... its all set at like 320 default which is too large for almost anything. I have set it down to 200. Even though I still have it at 200 after restoring a device ID I can now install stuff again for now though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SnapplerX:
Thank you. This looks really useful for the future possibly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] scotty1223:
your welcome. its not my work,so make sure to thank s trace on the original thread in the gsm 3d forum. i know alot of folks will find it useful :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
Not sure if i missed somthing but if i never did S-off and im currently s-on will this still work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] scotty1223:
no,it will not. mmcblk0p3 is write protected while s on(or s off would have come alot sooner ;))

if youre s on,and want to get rid of relocked im afraid youll need to s off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nulcon:
There's a easier way to do it. I was thinking of making a tutorial howto thread but was lazy. All you have to do is be s-off with juopunutbear's hboot. Then go on bootloader and connect through USB. Ensure fastboot usb is there then run adb and run command "fastboot oem lock". It should say that the bootloader is already locked. Then run adb command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (this command will turn your phone back to s-on in case you didn't know), install stock ruu and your phone should be s-on with ***locked*** status. If your somebody looking to return your phone for warranty reasons or for whatever desire you want, or just want lock status as everyone wants to know how to do, then this'll work reverting you back to stock completely. You'll look like you've never tampered your phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
After I S-Off'd I flashed an RUU and achieved **Locked** status.

I didn't have to unlock my bootloader after that. Just flashed a recovery using fastboot and flashed a ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] scotty1223:
you have completely missed the point. what you said is true of one has never left a jpbear hboot,or re-unlocked.

however...

if one has re-unlocked after s-off,then they cannot get back to locked with fastboot oem lock,they will be relocked just like before s-off.

in addition,this gives you the freedom to use an unlocked hboot rather than a jpbear hboot if youve run an ruu that overwrote it. you can easily lock and unlock simply by flashing the zip.

part of the jpbear s off process is doing exactly what the zips are doing- resetting the lock flag status back to 00000000 at 0x8400. alot of folks dont realize this becasue they continue to use the jpbear hboot. this is why running an ruu that overwrites the jpbear hboot gives you a stock locked hboot.

you are correct,you dont need to unlock(or reinstall jpbear) in order to install a recovery. however alot of noobs did not realize this,and unknowingly unlocked in order to fastboot flash a recovery. until now,the best these folks could do wasrelocked,unless they were willing to turn s on,then run jpbear again. simply flahsing a zip in recovery is a lil easier ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
big thanks man, but do you only have to download the first file?
[HTC Amaze 4G] scotty1223:
yes. all 3 are the same. just change the name to create the other files,the script behaves based on the name of the zip. again,i recomend to run query first,then lock or unlock.

you can change the zip to achieve relocked :eek: but i dint htink there would be demand for that ;)

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Duskye:
So I decided to upgrade from CM 10 to 10.1. I followed the instructions on how to upgrade and was able too boot. I looked at the issues and noticed the recurring one, but I have another.

I can't seem to get voice search working. I can search with the keyboard just fine, but when I try anything with voice, it suddenly stops working.

Am I the only one with this issue, or was I suppose to do something after installing?

EDIT: Actually, after I wiped my cache, it suddenly started working <_<.

Soo, someone can close this :P.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sspencer10:

[7 Mozart General] rpincho:
I'm in trouble guys, i can only go to the bootloader and the hard reset menu.

When I turn ON the phone, it just goes to the "windows mobile 7" screen and then it restarts and do it all again.

What should I do??

I tried to flash but the mobile device center does not detect it and so it doesn't do a USB Conection...

So, I basicaly can't do anything....

Please help
[7 Mozart General] adeebulrehman:
Dear,

Seems that your phone is bricked.

Use Y cable method that will solve all
[7 Mozart General] rpincho:
drivers

I think i can do it by WMDC but, i can´t install something called "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" driver...because the windows does not found the driver online.

I already searched everywere but i can't do it.

It was suposed to it buy it self when I connect the phone to the pc.

Please help :(
[7 Mozart General] adeebulrehman:
Not to worry try Y Cable Gold Card Method
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sghrush:
When I use the speakerphone, the person on the other end hears odd/strange noises like metal clanging on metal suggesting there is a mic issue on my phone. I tested this myself by calling my landline and noticed it as well. It seems the noise canceling does not help. Is this an issue with custom AOSP based roms? Or is this a hardware issue with S3?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
I have checked at home at work wherever you are and for upcoming trips
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Garrykd:
Hmmmm, Are you stock? Custom rom? If so what rom? Are all location settings on (uses more battery)? How far is your work from your home? Do you spend significant time at home/ work? How much have you used your phone at home/work to search location related things or stuff with maps? How long have you been using Now? Basically Google now is guessing where home is and work is based on typical patterns for most people (ie work is 9-5ish etc). The more you use Google location based services (search and maps) the more accurate it should become. Sorry for all the questions.

For what it's worth my experience has been hit and miss (though I'm in Canada and that might have something to do with it)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
custom rom.but its been working for months and just suddenly disappeared work and home are only like 10 mins apart.uused to pop up telling me how long itl take to get home in a notification.and the other way around.location settings are on and fine so im stumped
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Garrykd:
Not sure either...perhaps it has something to do with the last update? I have had issues with it lately as well but I updated to a jellybean rom around the same time as the Google now update came out and was thinking it might be rom related but maybe it was the update... I don't know if uninstalling the updates from settings/apps would make a difference or not, I haven't tried that yet .

Just tried that. Doesn't fix it either. Ugh

Hello everyone.

I have a non-branded, chinese cellphone with android 2.3.7 operating system on.

Is there a way to backup the existing ROM and then upgrade it to android 4.0 or -even better- to 4.1?

Any detailed help would be very apreciated.

Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brady_4love:
Google it rather than making a thread :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
...anyone else please?

Google sent me here.

So, anyone with a bit of knowledge please?

If you're bored of typing, at least copy-paste a few links.

In google you can find lots of scum videos about miraculous "one-click procedures".

With hard research, you can find some rare posts from helpful-unselfish guys who describe how they upgraded their BRANDED cellphone MODEL.

If I could search for a cellphone ROM like "BRAND 'x', MODEL 'y'", that would be easier and I wouldn't bother anyone.

Mine is non-brand, with chinese menus and I only know the current OS version, the type of the processor and a few features.

To manage to upgrade from this low version to the latest (and hopefuly in my native language menus) is not an information that could be found in google.

So, thanks in advance to anyone who could -at least- direct me to some knowledge how to even TRY what I need to do, and my apologies for "wasting" space by making a thread here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -star-:
Can you reach the build.prop? That could be a useful information to see your device with more details.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
I think he said that because people normally post without googling and its the first search result. At any rate, have you tried Gingerbreak?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
Dear -star-

Thanks for your response.

Excuse my lack of fluent knowledge of english but I don't think I get what "build.prop" is and how to reach it.

The most information I can provide you about my device is the following:

Brand & Model:	SmartPhone

GPS:	Support GPS navigation (<-----This dosn't seem to work)

WIFI:	Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n network supported.

Network:	2G: 850/900/1800/1900, 3G: 2100

1 x Micro USB port

2 x SIM Card port

1 x 3.5mm stereo headphone jack

1 x Built-in speaker

1 x Built-in microphone

Support Audio Formats:	MP3, WAV, AAC, WMA

Battery & Power:	Built-in 1600mAh Lithium battery

Power Supply:	100~240V max

Dimension:	14cm x 7.5cm x 1cm - 5.51inch x 2.95inch x 0.39inch

I can sent you a p.m. of a scanned image of my phone, showng the properties screen.

The back cover says "HTC" and a sticker inside (under the battery) says "MODEL ONE-S" but I don't think it's reliable.

It lacks android market/google play, thus I'm unable to download-install any software. Its market application is in chinese and downloads only software with chinese language!

I wish I could -at least- find a way to backup the existing ROM and re-load it in case something goes wrong by expiramenting.

My wildest dream would be to upload Android 4.1 with Greek.

I hope someone gives me some hints.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
Sounds like a counterfeit HTC phone... HTC IS a brand-name, but that doesn't sound like any HTC I've fooled with. Give Gingerbreak a shot. If it IS an HTC, well, the rooting process can get tricky, what with S-OFF and all that jazz.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
It's a fake for sure. Not that I bought it believing that I buy an HTC ONE-S.

The problem is that it supposed to have Android 4.0 on and instead it came with Android 2.3.7

I'll try to find the "Gingerbreak" you mentioned. I hope it helps.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
It'll be an APK file you have to download outside the market. It may root the phone outright, in which case, you'll need to find a ROM that is compatible with it and its hardware after that. But, rooting is normally the first and hardest step.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
Thanks again.

I'm afraid I won't find any ROM compatible with my device.

I just hope I find a way to restore the current ROM after each trial.

I'll try Gingerbreak and I'll inform you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
Gingerbreak to root it. Titanium Backup won't back up the ROM itself, but if you can find or make a custom recovery, you can probably back up the ROM to a microSD and restore it from the recovery. Its how I do on my phone/tablet (which are, granted, name brand so that might not count for much).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
Rooting imposible!

Gingerbreak makes nothing! I also tried Super One Click root with no results.

If there's no way to root the phone, how then will I be able too backup its ROM and flash a new one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
I forgot to mention that I also tried MTKDroidTools for rooting but it also failed.

Here's the message:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
To be honest there's really no point. These Chinese phones and tablets are so many, but not so popular. There isn't a large enough user base, so there won't be any development for them. If they all had similar hardware then yes it would be possible to make ROMs for one device work for all, but they're all different, and ROMs and custom recoveries need to be tailor-made for a particular device. Most people around the world use branded devices, that's why you see so much development for them. Rooting is just the first step and doesn't do much. You would need to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, then flash a custom ROM. Sounds simple enough, but like I said, there is most likely no one to develop a custom recovery and ROM for your device. That's why there's no point thinking too much about this. Theh only real way you'll be able to do this is if you manage to find a method to unlock the bootloader, build your own custom recovery, then port/build from source your own kernel and custom ROM for the Android version that you want. This is not an easy task at all. Sorry to burst your bubble.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulman:
What if my phone's ROM is a copy of a branded one? I'll try to give more details about it.

As far I could search, my model is a short of clone from HTC One S (Z520e).

My first obstacle is to root the device. Then I'll try to find a ROM backing out method and afterwards I'll expirament with many roms.

Anyone who could propose me another rooting app?
