[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendespas:
Hi, I am still new to all of this. I have put siyah v5.0.1 as the kernel on my orange uk s2, but when using the eMMC checker, the s2 still has the brick bug, stating insane chip on the eMMC app.

Can I put any custom rom on the s2 without it becoming bricked???

Android version: 4.0.4

baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Kernel:3.0.31-siyah-s2-v5.0.1+gm@ubuntu #6 SMP PREEMPT sun nov 11 12:25:24 PST 2012

Build number: IMM76D.XWLPT
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Nothing you install will change the fact that the HARDWARE chip in your device is susceptible to the eMMC brick bug. You can only make sure you avoid the issue by taking precautions, like staying on Siyah, or any other safe kernel, as long as you are on 4.0.4.

Where can I find one?

Ive been looking and they all have their own twist, anybody know if theres a stock nexus 4 port? Clean and stable?

Thank you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BaconStep:
Look for something called cm10
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stephanes:
If you need tether or bluetooth, the answer to your question is no, not for now. Other than that look in the original development forum and you have many choices for great cm10 or aosp based rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] willham:
How about AOKP? I've been running it for a week and it is really stable for me with great battery life!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kurdish11:
No need for tether, and not having bluetooth wont kill me, for now at least :P

AoKP? Ill go check it out, Ive had so many android phones but switched to an iphone 5 for a good while, ive almost forgot how to flash ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kurdish11:
Is that Kangs AOKP? Or a different one
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] willham:
I'm using kAsp3rds ROM. Mr1 build 2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
I was looking for same thing and my search ends at illusion by mike. Go into original development section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
+1 for Kasper's
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kurdish11:
Kaspers didnt look too stable.

I flashed cm10 and ended up flashing stock again, i didnt like it.

But il check out illusion!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] willham:
What problems were you having with AOKP?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
Dude illusion is killer. New version has bluetooth fixed and pie function too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tthaz777:
Rootbox v3.6 is a very stable ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Bluetooth fixed, huh?

And, what' the pic function? Is that a replacement for lockscreen targets? I might have to finally make the switch permanently.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
There was a bug on previous build on Bluetooth but on yesterday's build he fixed it .

Its a pie not pic ; from which you can do certain thing by sliding ur finger up from bottom. Check rom thread for it. Lockscreen target are already customizable in it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Pie-pic, it was typo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carnage11:
Yesterday, I flashed the Paranoid Android Rom 2.99. Today I went to the forums to check for updates and the thread had been deleted. Does anyone have any idea why this would have been deleted? I hope that this is still going to be a supported ROM as it has only been in development for this phone for about a week and is already fantastic.

Thanks

The person was banned. Keep that copy and dont expect updates.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
This sucks! I hope someone picks up development. I wonder if he's on rootzwiki?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carnage11:
Yeah me too

I hope someone else picks this up. I am looking at compiling it from source right now but I am a noob dev so the chances of it being serious are slim and none lol. I checked rootzwiki and he is not on there yet but idk if he might be later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
aw hell, i could cry. thankfully the current build is good enough to be a daily driver. really hope some one picks it up though im so spoiled by dpi control on a per app basis and 4.2.1 i refuse to use cm 10.1 and any 4.1.2 rom, but thats my problem i suppose.

just out of curiosity, anyone know why that dev was banned in the first place
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Timbaland7:
Would anybody be kind enough to attach a link to the latest version of this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] untz1456:
Yeah here it is man d-h.st/3Tz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Timbaland7:
Thank you for the response, but there is no link attached.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tamathdb:
It's d-h.st/3Tz.

Does anybody know of a flashable.zip of the latest version of pie? I found one on Google+, but that's from the 23rd and i can't find it anymore anyway.

Hopefully a dev will come around to port PA 3.0, which should be release in a day out two. Im excited about AOSPA!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] untz1456:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sader2202:
Why was he ban? Did he break any rules?

Hallowed Is The Sader
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
As with most bannings and pulling of threads, we'll probably never know. I hate how this happens and no explanation is given to those in the community who may have been enjoying the work of the banned and have to speculate. The only thing I've seen is that he was banned because he was a "puppy" of someone called "ROM_CHEF". Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Maybe the mod that banned him could offer an explanation? I doubt it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
His work was awesome and the puppy account seemed to follow all the rules so it seemed the dev learned his lesson after his first banning.unless the first banning was for something really serious I don't see any meaning in the second banning.now we are out of a great Rom.but rules are rules I suppose
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
No. It's bs. We've lost lots of good devs over the years to people nitpicking at rules that where not intended for the purposes they used them for. Then they go on a smear campaign and talk about them behind their back knowing they can't respond or defend themselves. The politics here are just as bad as the politics in this country. I was really trying to learn to compile a couple of years ago and the main 2 guys teaching me got banned out of the blue for using a couple of themed apps in their rom without permission. The kicker? I'm the one that themed the damn apps in question! I didn't complain but some idiot decided to fight my behalf.... As if I need it! I'm a two time combat veteran! I think I can fight my own battles! But anyway, those guys are still banned and did absolutely nothing wrong. So I stopped learning and just try to enjoy the work these devs do before they get banned too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jtsv:
Thanks! I had been thinking I was crazy because of the post being closed and couldn't find the zip anywhere on my phone or computer. Now I can at least choose between this and the current rom of choice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] untz1456:
right now i have aospa and i manged to fix the mms with go sms pro just using it as mms but they show up on the stock and im using camera jb+ for the camcorder but try the other roms to but if your a fan of dpi your going to keep on going back to pa

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] heroisnotdead:
Long story short: I used TWRP 2.4 to format internel storage, which it did. Now it only shows the partition (in windows explorer) as 1.99 GB free.

Should I have not used TWRP to format the internal?

My goal is to start over, completely, by wiping internal and external storage and loading this rom.

I'm S-OFF with DR209 with the .3 update from Captain_Throwback so I don't have the touchscreen issue in TWRP.

Hi guys,

Is it possible to sort this out ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizy11:
MODS, im sorry i posted this in the wrong section .. should have posted in the QA section ..

okay have been searching the forums trying different suggestions but none of them worked so far .... okay this phone came to me from a friend who had flashed a bad image to it without any backup of anything and the phone wouldn't boot so i got it into download mode and flashed JVU stock rom to it ....

okay so now everything works but 2 things are not .... one: the IMEI, BASEBAND VERSION, and Bluetooth address all read UNKNOWN...

two: the home button doesnt work ...not even in recovery .... ive tried flashing to JW4 and the same thing happening on this aswell .. could someone point me in the right direction please ? im really stuck with this ...

i did read that whole thread and tried all the solutions(backups etc) but the IMEI doesnt show .... sorry for my n00bishness but this is the first galaxy i9000 ive ever handled...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirmShark:
Download this and flash all 3 files (exclude the rooting one for now) through Odin to the device. Then flash the rooting file through Odin once booted for first time. The imei should appear as well as baseband.

If you're updating to JB, go from GB > ICS > JB as the phone doesn't like the jump from GB > JB.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizy11:
okay i flashed the 3 files first then let the phone boot and then restart and flashed the CFroot file .... but still no go .:( ... IMEI and baseband still says unknown .... :S ... im using oding 3.07 with no options ticked other than auto reboot ... im using the CODE file in PDA ... MODEM file in phone and CSC file in CSC
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirmShark:
Mines worked with the above on version 3.04 and auto reboot and f. reset time ticked. Try it that way and see how you get on!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
Hi,

I just rooted my new Note 2 and it went smoothly thanks to all the information I read here. However, I have no internet connection now. I'm not saying that rooting had anything to do with it; I probably didn't have it before. Where in the phone's settings do I check to make sure internet is enabled? I found in the "settings" screen how to turn on Wifi and bluetooth but I didn't see anything for internet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
1. Settings. 2. More Settings. 3. Mobile networks. 4. Mobile data.

Make sure it's checked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
Yeah, its checked.

On the status page it says my network type is HSDPA:9 I switched simm cards because my old phone used the larger one. Is it p[ossible that the phone is trying to use LTE and my unlimited data plan is not LTE and that is causing the problem? How do I get to the screen that tells me the WAP I'm uisng? My old simm card (VERY oold) was from cingular so maybe that setting is wrong too. Just throwing things out here. Not really sure what is relevant and what is not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
What's your APN settings? (Last picture)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
APN says "phone"

MMSC http://mmsc.att.net

MMS port 80

MCC 310

MNC 410

APN type default.mms.supl

APN protocal IPv4

APN enabled

I am unable to edit the access point settings. Is this normal?

Edit. I added a WAP for cingular.com that I found in the thread about "how to get around throttling" and it seems to be working. I guess that means I'm still on some low speed plan. I'll test it later and see how slow it is.

The default AT&T WAP is still not working though. :(

Edit2:

Just downloaded the speedtest app and I get 1900 kb download speed. So I'm still 3g. Should I call AT&T to get them to change my phone account to LTE or is there someother way I can get my AT&T WAP setting to work and that will enable the higher speed of LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] livingaboard:
how did you get a new smaller sim card for the new phone?

When I got a new sim the guy at AT and T said something about if I didn't get LTE showing up in a minute or so after booting my new note 2, that he would have to put my IMEI number in the computer. We were holding off because I was buying a Note 2 outright and also had a Note 2 in the midst of an insurance claim and we didn't want to switch the number and risk screwing up the insurance claim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
The AT&T guy asked if I had a new phone and I said no because I didn't want to get switched off of my unlimited plan. I might have been being paranoid but I figured worst case I could always go back later and say I upgraded phones if I need them to do something to enable high speed.

To get the new smaller sim I just told them I was going overseas for a big and would be using a smaller sim so I had purchased an adaper and I wanted to use a smaller sim so I could keep the adapter in my phone. I got the idea from one of the threads here. Again, maybe paranoid but the idea of paying $50 a month for 5-10 gb of data with thrattling does not appeal to me.

and the proof:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
if i'm understanding your delima - which was similar to mine - att needs to flag your account for LTE access and that's it. no plan switching, etc. i have 2 lines, one with a grandfathered unlimited LTE data plan and one with the the $50/5GB plan. the main differences between the unlimited and 5GB plans are: i get throttled after using 3 GB on the unlimited plan (vs. 5GB plan) and i cannot (legally) tether on the unlimited plan (like i can with the $50 plan). i've been throttled twice on the unlimited plan, but only after exceeding 4 GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoso28:
All you need to do is call customer care (611) and ask them to update the imei on your line so they can add the lte feature code. The system won't allow an lte phone to connect to data unless the imei/feature is correct. HSPA will keep working, so if there's no lte in your area it doesn't really matter. You won't lose your unlimited data plan unless you give up data completely, want tethering, or switch to a mobileshare plan. If you keep that feature though, you'll be throttled at 3gb's, whereas you'll get 5gb's on the lte feature.

PM me of you have any questions. I know a certain company well.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summdumkid:
I just bought an unlocked Nexus 4, but am currently on a non-data plan with ATT. After I attempt to cut my regular size sim card and fail, I'll have to head down to the ATT store. The thing is, I would like to try and leave data off on my phone and not add data to my plan, and use my Nexus like this until my contract is up and I can switch to T-Mobile. My question is, what can I tell the ATT rep to get them to give me a micro sim without them wanting to see the phone I'm going to stick it in and subsequently add data to my plan?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zehlek:
What I do with Rogers here, I just go in and ask to buy a microsim. Take it home and call in and say you want to update you iccid(number on sim card). If they ask why on the phone I say I damaged my old one and bought a new one. If they ask in store why I just say I am buying one for a friend
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summdumkid:
Do you know how much they will charge? From searching around, they would likely give me on for free if I can word it right...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zehlek:
I don't know, I'm guessing $10 maybe
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapslock12345:
I have att. I just went into the store and said I need a microsim and without any questions or concerns the guy just proceeded to give me one so I think you should be fine. Unless micro sim is exclusive to smart phones, they aren't going to ask to see your new phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
ATT wanted $26 for a new SIM from me. So I walked over to the T mobile store and bought one for like 10 by buying 3 pay as you go days worth. I then used that Sim as template to cut down my old att Sim with a kitchen knife.

If I wasn't on the cheep with a family plan on ATT I'd be on T-Mobile in a heartbeat.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohwut:
Just a heads up AT&T does regular IMEI sweeps. They also have the play store Nexus 4's IMEIs on file as smartphones so eventually they'll force a data plan on you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissingBonobo:
This. A thousand times this. You may get away with it for a while, but short of changing your IMEI (illegal I believe), you will get caught.

Don't have ATT, but the other day when I got the phone I just went to the T-Mobile store and they had a little tool that will cut your sim to a microsim for you

Im looking for a Android powered GSM phone that will automatically turn itself back on if the battery is dead and power is reconnected.

I want to stash this in my vintage automobile and use tracking software to locate the vehicle in the unfortunate event its stolen. The only issue I need to solve is if the battery dies and the phone turns off how to turn it back on automatically. I plan to put the device in the door panels so access will be difficult.

Car Charging

Intelligent Approach,

I have also did the same thing but with some alteration and continue improvements to it for my vehicle security, i also did the same but putted the phone in dashboard and connected it to car cigarette lighter socket internally,(simple wiring), whenever car starts, it will start charging and Battery Booster apps Prevents Overcharge.

But currently i have hidden my Phone Near Speakers at the Back, and integrated it with Car Key less entry Remote (Car Security), so when ever some Opens my Car Doors, Car security Sends 12v Current to Siren as well as Car Charger that is connected to Mobile.

My Mobile is Programmed using an simple App that Call my Phone Number whenever It detects "Car Charger Connected" Event.

In short I get informed by my car in case of Un Authorize Access simple.

Keep it Up.

if you flash TWRP and turn your phone off soon as it is connected to a charger it will boot into recovery, with that being said you easily the partition it boots into from recovery to system
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leexgx:
i know this is a tad old post but it was near the top of google search so others may still find this thread useful

but samsung galaxy europa (its quite old and cheap £/$20 or less unlocked and locked) phone seem to work well for me only modification you have to make to the phone is the power button needs to be held down (at the start i used a clamp or large paperclip), so soon as power is received it turns on even after full power drain as when the charger is powered up it starts the auto charge which then checks the keys and sees the power/hangup button is pressed (power button is ignored as long as its left constantly held down so it not turn off) o and make sure sound is set to silent or the low battery warning will blaring away when it is running low (i do believe there is a extended battery you can get for the phone as well)

i use FollowMee for tracking and wheresmydroid as backup (has sms keyword triggering) FollowMee me never failed me) only issue is you need lots of account with wheresmydroid if you have more then 2 devices (assuming you want to use it to track via website if not the SMS keyword GPS one off tracking can be useful and it will use google WiFi Geolocation if GPS fails to work and a wifi access point is in range and you have mobile data) FollowMee does have a one off $3 or $6 payment for full 15-30 day history unlock (but works fine as free as well but will only show one current location at a time no history)

and disabled all automatic updates on google play (make sure you open google play a number of times with 5 minute delay between each open so it installs the newer version and let it update or it might get stuck in a loop and eat all mobile data) on the phone and push updates so only the app uses data (you could probably get away with a M2M sim as well), also set the phone to 2G only as 3G is bit flaky on samsung phones and 2G uses nearly no power as well

It's been a while since I've had a skyrocket in my hands (thats what she said) but a friend of mine broke his phones lcd and glass. Phone powers on fine but can't register any touch. I'm fairly competent with modding phones but have never had to do a blind recovery like this. Is there any special way to get anything off the phone? I'd like at least contacts and anything else would be a bonus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
were contacts synched, then they should be on their google account

depending on how the phone was setup, boot it up, connect the usb cable and see if windows can see the sdcards.

or u can use adb to get to the sdcards
