No don't press the call button

Go to phone and type *#06#

You will see a box with IMEI written on top

Tell if there is a number written there or is it blank?

And it is Gingerbread, not Jelly Bean

To confirm, go to Settings>About Phone and repeatedly click on Android Version

If there are Jelly Beans FLYING AROUND

Then, congratulations, you a Jelly Bean device

If there is only a static image, sorry, you have Gingerbread
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnoss:
WOW!

Yes it is blank

Static image

Thats just S***! Did I make a mistake or is it a trick by the jellyblast people?

Anyway, thanks for your help so far, are you able to point me to a jelly bean rom that I can actually use on the GT-S5830i or do I need to brick the device and take it back to the network operator?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
then you have lost your imei number
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnoss:
I thought the imei number was hard coded. meaning, part of the hardware. is that not the case?

What does loosing the imei mean?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnoss:
Ok, so the imei number was stored in the EFS folder right? and if I haven't backed that up, then i guess i'm screwed?

If that is the case then I guess the only option is to take the phone back completely bricked?

Is there any other way I can correct this problem?

thanks

Lol. Thats a nice way to get rid of this phone...and buy a new one if you are out of your warranty period. You will get your imei number back....just flash any stock rom through odin again. Once you get back on stock...backup your imei number using galaxy toolbox app so that you dont think about crucifing your phone again. ( I wont be surprised even if you want to....because i usually feel like doing that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnoss:
Very helpful!

Thanks for that

I'll be trying that out first thing tomorrow. :good:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnoss:
should be called the GT-s666

I've actually just bought this phone with a new and very cheap contract (what a dooch). Flashing hadn't even crossed my mind 2 days ago when I got it. If only I'd known what I now know, I definitely wouldn't have got this particular phone, seems as though its a real pain for everyone.

Thanks for your tips by the way.

I've downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com for this phone, will the combination of restoring the imei, backing it up like you say and flashing with sammobile's rom be enough to restore the original setup?

If so, I might use the 14 day grace period to change my mind about this phone and get a slightly more flashable one.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidnow:
Flash stock firmware if its splitted already...... Believe me when i say..... Get a phone which doesnt have a broadcom chipset. Doesnt matter even if its a phone running on pentinum one. But not broadcom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnoss:
Thanks to everyone for their help.

I sorted the phone by putting the stock firmware back on, deleting offending files and unrooting it. I then went back to the shop and swapped it for a Galaxy S II GT-I9100 (wohooo what a phone!)

I will be rooting it at some point but I have to be sure I can do it without problems.

Thanks again

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommyjesanders:
I was doing some reading and came across this in regards too our phone.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/03/19/htc-one-x-evo-4g-lte-droid-dna-sense-5-android-4-2/

So do you guys think this will happen after reading it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LemonNinja:
I'm sure it definitely will (of course a few months after the One is released on Sprint though) so it will be a while, I just hope this won't turn into the endless leaks like the 4.1.1 update turned out to be (where we kept getting promised a leaked date, but ended up being delayed)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommyjesanders:
I don't think will ever get any leaks of firmware or any kind of leaked release dates. We can't even get the current firmware exe

anymore.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ares1105:
I'm pretty sure it will EVENTUALLY happen. However, not anytime soon, as per HTC's notorious reputation. But I DO know, however, that Sinister and several other reputed developers are working on a Sense 5 port for our phones. There's a thread in Original Android Development. I'm pretty sure they'll get it worked out before HTC gives us anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airjordan1106:
Hey guys,

I recently got pushed the OTA update for the Galaxy S3 on Sprint. I didn't notice anything different until I went to use my Andy-83 app. I'm sure some people are familiar with this app, the TI-83 emulator thing.

It's now blacked out and unusable. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and it's BLACKED OUT! Must have been the update doing this.

Curious to know is there a way around this, I miss using this app, as I am a student. Also, does anyone have other apps with the same issue?

Sidenote- I know rooting is ultimate solution, but I really dont have the time, expertise, and effort for that right now.

Thanks.

Yup, some apps might no be compatible with the latest android version (or your current updated version).

Sucks, but its like that, wait for an app update, try and contact the developer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigexpansion:
i was taking apart a 2nd note 2 I have. pretty much just taking it apart out of boredom. i'm wondering what the empty slot if for.

AND!

if my phones are both from tmobile. and both are sgh-t889. WHY DO THEY BOTH READ i317 on the motherboard? the att version. i know this does not affect the hardware or performance of my phone. i just found it odd for security purposes. The AT&T batch wanted a better home? idk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpeps:
i317 is att note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigexpansion:
i think its past your bedtime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] thebeastglasser:
No, I actually think jpeps isn't too far off. The i317 is the motherboard for the AT&T Note II.

I figure that since they pick up relatively similar signals, it must have been more efficient in the manufacturing process to give theT-889 and the i317 the same motherboards. That's just my guess at least.

As for the empty space, I'm not too sure. I'd look around anandtech and iFixit to see if you can find out anything about that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigexpansion:
i know he's right. the i317 and t889 are both a NOTE 2. i was just saying that cuz i stated in the OP that i KNOW that. lol.

i thinks its just an empty space for some hardware they didnt want to add. maybe a super signal booster. or better yet. a metal detector?

I was thinking it would be cool to have a ROMKitchen that would let you upload your own bootgraphics. You would have to of course keep it in the name bootimage.bmp...

Just a thought as all attempts for me to get the ROMKitchen to work have failed.... Been trying to add my own bootimage (which is done) and sounds.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Problem is that the kitchen currently doesn't take just any bmp, it has to a very specific format: Windows, 16 bit, inverted, R5G6B5 from Photoshop. I'm still looking for an image filter that converts to this specific format. (IM's "convert" doesn't..)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] MrDollyMaker:
Yes, I know. I already have the image in the correct format.... just wasn't able to get the kitchen to work for me even when I installed Linux Red Hat... latest version. (knows he did something wrong, just dosen't understand perl and unix enough)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ntabikha:
i'll tell you what... since im sure its very difficult to program the kitchen to convert an image....

would it be easier if it just 'checked' for correct format?

if its good, it will process it

if not, it will reject it!

im sure its much simpler to program this way ;)

kinda like what yahoo does for the user profiles...

after you upload the image, if its not too big for specs, it posts it.

if not, it tells u image too big.

good luck!

we love and appriciate your work tremendously :D

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Yorch:
I'm not talking about Jeff Kitchen, I'm talking about Kalex Kitchen. Kalex, me, and some others have contributed to make this kitchen, which is so far the best of the breed, it has plenty of customizations, (kalex says is too much :)) but you can customize among cool bootimages, dialpad skins, today screens, and add excellent programs like Resco Explorer 2003, SPB Pocket Plus 1.3, Full screen Keyboard, Pocket Backup, and many more, its really cool. The reason that I can't share it with you guys (yet), is that as you can see these are paid programs, and they are already registered in the ROM, so If I post it online, for people to freely download ROMs in the kitchen, it would be illegal, since they are not my own programs. Alex was trying to see if there was a way that you could put a text field, (kind of the same as in the Theft Protection name entry) so people can put their own serials and the ROM would come preregistered, but so far he can't make it work yet. (he is the only programmer of the group). Let me see what can we do to see if we just remove the registration part and fix some stuff so we can get the Kitchen live so people can start downloading ROMs.

2-	R5G6B5

I have photoshop but I do not know how to do these two step

Can some one pleas tell my how to do these step

Pleas pleas pleas
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Yorch:
Regarding Pocket Informant and @Mail, too big, as It is the Kitchen has a LOT of stuff. (remember that you only have 2~3MB)

Address, soon At yorch.net, we are in the process of moving the kitchen from an undisclosured location to Yorch.net. The kitchen is ready and working, just needs a couple of fine tunning, which we are working on

Instructions:

Have you tried saving a bmp file in photoshop before?

It tells you right there and there among the options to save the BMP file inverted and if you click in options you can do the R5G6B5.

Is not hard, is right there when you save your file.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rpc:
I am willing to help you....

first open that file on adobe photoshop 7.0

then click image --> rotate canvas--> Flip Canvas verticaly

then click File --> Save as..

type the file name of the picture "bootimage.bmp"

select Format "BMP"

click save

then another window will popup "BMP options"

Select "windows" for File format

then select "16 bit" for Depth

then click "Advance Modes" button

another window will popup "BMP Advance Modes"

select "R5 G6 B5" on 16 bit

then press "ok"

Then finaly your file is 16 bit, BMP, inverted.

I hope this will help you a lot... it's in detail :roll:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Datboimarn3:
I have just fortunately received and installed the update for my TL Lt30a (AT&T) v.4.1.2.

I used to have a root software loaded within the older version and had Root Explorer with SU from where I downloaded the root software from.

But with the new update, also came with the annoying bloatwares that compromised the battery life of my phone. I know there's a new feature that extends battery life, but I dont have the need or use for the AT&T apps.

Is there a new root software already available to remove these?

Or a site that I can be directed to the right direction and get the unwanted apps off from my phone.

You can't remove the AT&T apps unless you have root access.

To unlock from network you will need a code. These can be obtained from AT&T if your contract has been satisfied or you can purchase a code on-line from a third party.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ginger Ale:
I've bought a Nexus 7 (32GB) from BestBuy a few days ago. Works perfectly, but I don't like the file transfer method. I've been using the old Archos 32 a long time before, and I've helped a lot of friends with their own Andorid phones. We used to mount and unmount the devices to transfer files to computers. Mounting meant I was not able to use it, but I could transfer files. Now on my Nexus 7, I can do both. At first sight, I was quite happy about that, but I've realized it used similar file transfer methods as my very old 2005 mp3 player. Everytime I dump songs into my tablet, it tells me the file is not supported. I don't care about that, but it didn't used to be as ****ty as that with other Android phones. Quite a disappointment.

Now I started downloading stuff with tTorrent, and files are even more fricked up. I've set my download location as /Download/Torrents, as I used to do before. Back on my PC, I wanted to copy the torrented files, but they weren't there at all. Even at default location. With ASTRO ans ES file managers, I can clearly see they are at the right place. But the PC connection doesn't cooperate. I made a little search, and found out they were all hidden in a /storage/emulated directory on my PC. But only half my downloaded files were there (yeah, about 4GB hidden somewhere).

Now I'm kinda stuck in a trap. Where are my files? Would there be any way to return to the "normal" mount/unmount transfer system? I tried the MTP and PTP thing but both are weird and hide my downloaded files. I can't transfer files my files again via WiFi as we don't have much bandwidth up here in Canada. Computer doesn't support Bluetooth (and neither NFC lol). I just want the old file system back. Anyone has already faced the same situation or could help? Thanks in advance.
