[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tinhyeudamat:
After struggling to get AT&T Samsung Gaaxy S2 Skyrocket to pick up T mobile 4G. I finally figure out how to make it work.

Trying to flash T-mobile SGH-T989 Hercules radio itself didn't work out at all. I even lost my original radio. So the combination of AT&T stock ROM and T mobile Radio would never work. Then then tried at a last chance to flash T mobile T989 Hercules stock ROM and its radio turned out to be perfect.

Here is the Step by step to do so. Hoping If someone else got into my situation would be helpful.

Step 1: Flash your Skyrocket phone with a custom recoveries (required to flash different ROMs).

Step 2: Download T Mobile SGH-T989 Stock ROM and radio then store them on an SD card.

Step 3: Flash the ROM and radio to your phone using zip files that you have stored in step 2.

Step $: Reboot.

Done!!!!!!!!!

Notice: Custom ROMs for T mobile SGH-T989 shuold work (I have not try them yet.)

Rooting is an optional step. Custom ROMs may have root already, follow dev instruction.

Right now I am on jelly bean and trying to revert back to stock amazon software.

I have tried doing it the old way by flashing the amazon updates (both 6.3.1 and 6.3.2) but the flash always fails.

Anyway to go back to to unrooted stock Kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
Thanks but I that's what I meant by flashing the stock roms. They just gave me an error message
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
Nothing special. It just tells me that there was an error flashing update.zip.

Didn't see a specific error message.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
Error 7
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
Okay I will try that.

If it doesn't work, do you recommend anything?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
Got it, thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrTapa:
Ok so i drained my phone to 0% today. I was playing around with stock jb 492 on my T and ... After that i puted it to charge and it loaded kernel logo then teh Repair Icon with statusbar. And its stuck on it. I left it for liek 30 mins on this stage and still teh same. Then i decided to reflash via flashtool. Idid it and i put the italian 492 ftf. Flashtool gave no errors. I powered on the kernel logo appeared. And again teh repair thingie. I waited.. flashed again and the same. And i cant actualy boot into a system...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Plug it in, turn it on, goto bed and it will be fine in the morning
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrTapa:
Yep. Thats what i am doing. But i cant get why its doint this. Meybe i have to check what ubuntu for phone did to my phone. I wanted to try it and i didnt succed anyway. then when i puted stock i couldnt write on interal. SO i formated. It was ok. I drained to 0 and this happend. maybe it has done something dedicated to /sys. Idk.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Happened in men's locker room, when I went swimming.:eek:

Already called AT&T and blocked the IMEI. O well.....too bad I can't get back my pictures/videos.
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
I think you should also call google so the it blocks it worlwide. Cause at&t only blocks it gor the US. Or something like that. Shame on the thief. Buy one, don't steal one.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Thanks for the tip. Will call Google.

Why these thieves failed to know that it's so stupid to steal smartphones now. What he got is basically a paperweight.
[Nexus 4 General] sy224048:
Use plan B while you still can unless they already factory reset it.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
The thief turned off the phone almost immediately. So this won't work...
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
I'll definitely get cerberus next time.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Semantics:
I'm the police, and I see it 50 times a week that someone gets their phone stolen and it sucks. I feel for you. My device is encrypted, Sim locked, and password protected and I have Cerberus on it. You can't be too careful, we have so many people getting robbed of iPhones we call it apple picking.

Cerberus is a must for any type of security on your phone. Google should buy it and make it standard.
[Nexus 4 General] skyrocket727:
Stupid this just stupid! I mean this really sucks.. Its a phone a damn phone! How low your life gotta be if you stole a freaking phone! It is really sad that in our society we've got place for such class of people!
[Nexus 4 General] jonapunk:
That sucks I feel for you. But if the imei is now blocked they may end up turning it into lost and found so check there for a few days and now lesson learned and you will have backup software from now on I am sure.

Once again that sucks I hope you find it or when you sign into your new device accidently you backed up all your pics one day you had it and will get some back. Just wishful thinking
[Nexus 4 General] air2k57:
That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear it. I work out probably 6 days a week and always listen to music at a busy gym, I always use Bluetooth headset. Few times I left my nexus on a treadmill and didn't notice till my music became staticky as I've gotten far. I also always leave it by the courts when I run full court basketball, so do others. Crazy how mine hasn't been stolen yet. Knock on wood.
[Nexus 4 General] jonapunk:
Anyway to leave it in your car or something during basketball? Sorry off topic but post happy today
[Nexus 4 General] blahblah13233:
Oh man, reading peoples experiences really got to me. I'll install Cerberus now. Hope mine doesn't get stolen.
[Nexus 4 General] Visa Declined:
They'll deactivate the sim, but anyone else can pop a sim in it and use the phone. Even from AT&T.
[Nexus 4 General] pcdebb:
unfortunately we live in a world of untrustworthy people. Some people have their lives on their phones, and I would be crushed if mine was stolen. I will give Cereberus a try as well. on my N4 and my N7.
[Nexus 4 General] blahblah13233:
They blocked the IMEI. It not longer will work with any AT&T Sim card.
[Nexus 4 General] pcdebb:
even if the IMEI is on the hotlist?

I just installed Cerberus on my phone and played with it for a few minutes. Has alot of options (some arent available if the phone isn't rooted). Installing it on the tablet as well, and will put this on my recommends list to others.
[Nexus 4 General] Visa Declined:
You can not believe if you want. They will tell you that they will block your emei, but they won't. If it makes you feel good to believe, then believe.
[Nexus 4 General] mnicesio:
That´s not true.

The IMEI will be blocked by the AT&T and the N4 will no longer work with a sim card from AT&T network.

The problem is only one, the IMEI is going to be usable for other networks.
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
I guess Cerburus or any other anti-theft app will get wiped when flashing a factory image including user data.
[Nexus 4 General] persheshhater:
Att can never block the imei of a phone they do not sell themselves.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Well at this stage, I couldn't care less.

I learned my $350 lesson. I reported to the building manager and police, I called AT&T, I changed all my account passwords.

I did everything I can.

The thief can take that phone as some charity donations.
[Nexus 4 General] NoL1m1tZ:
Nope, Cerberus has a way to be persistent
[Nexus 4 General] noobiekins:
Cerberus could probably be uninstalled by using fast boot flashing the factory images.
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
A factory reset (wiping data and cache partitions) won't wipe cerberus.

only rewriting the system partition does. if the thief does a complete factory reset, as in reflashing the whole system, then it's gone.
[Nexus 4 General] pikachukaki:
I learn for cerberus last night and when my nexus ships i will defently install it...so sorry OP...bad luck! :/
[Nexus 4 General] Erazo1986:
What about avast anti-theft? It has the ability to be hard-rooted the the device itself? I'm surprised no one else has mentioned avast, it's a really feature rich antivirus.
[Nexus 4 General] persheshhater:
Antitheft apks help only if the one that steals it is stupid. Most of the cases thief will turn it off remove battery install factory images and forget your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
So what's the verdict? Cerebrus or no?
[Nexus 4 General] mikeyb1216:
responsse

it only work if you install it before you lose your phone
[Nexus 4 General] 666fff:
I doubt most thieves would do all that. Turn phone off-maybe. Remove battery on Nexus 4? uhh...no... Install factory image? These assholes probably will keep using the phone under the account it came with. :)

Yea or lookout.
[Nexus 4 General] persheshhater:
Just watch out and do not lose it lol. If lost, forget it then.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I heard Cerberus is really good, does it locate your phone on Google maps using satellite view so I can pin point exactly where my phone is ex. Near a tree?
[Nexus 4 General] persheshhater:
Yupp even near a toilet.
[Nexus 4 General] foxmeister:
Indeed! Most thieves are opportunists, rather than professionals. They will often try to get rid of it as quickly as they can and will never "maximise" the value of their theft.

If they sell to Joe Bloggs in the pub, you've a good chance that something like Plan B will help. If they sell it to someone more organised, it doesn't really matter what counter measures you have in place, because it will likely be out of the country and/or cleansed before it gets hooked up to a network again.

Regards,

Dave
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Lol only if there is Google maps indoors :(
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
With Cerebrus, can I just pay for the license, if, sometime after, I lose my phone?

EDIT: Never mind, ended up buying it anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] Eddy130306:
I use it too and it works wonders. IF my phone ever gets stolen, I'll be prepared :)
[Nexus 4 General] Semantics:
This is why everyone should encrypt their phones. You can't even get to recovery, etc. without putting in the password to unencrypt the device.
[Nexus 4 General] mrao:
Op..I feel your pain, bro... Some piece of s#!t stole my Galaxy Nexus last month.. And it had a cracked screen... who would want to steal a broken phone.. Touch screen worked perfectly though.. And it was encrypted... Wonder what he managed to do with it :(
[Nexus 4 General] listicka:
My Nexus 4 was stolen just 3 hours ago. I was grocery shopping and left it at the self-check-out counter. I realized it about 5 minutes later, went back to the store. Nobody turned it in found LOL; however when I called my phone from the store’s customer service, the thief disconnected my cell after 2 rings. I went home and changed all my passwords ASAP and called T-Mobile, Google and LG. T-Mobile put my phone number on Temporarily Suspension only. They weren’t able to figure out IMEI blocking and suppose to call me back, right. The grocery store manager said, the store’s detective will be in tomorrow to review the footage, I had some suspicions…

Google said to call LG for the IMEI blocking. LG said to call T-Mobile. T-Mobile didn’t return their phone call back, so I have no clue what they did.

I was advised the Police won’t do anything about it while there are other more serious crimes…

I wish I could have the phone locked up while the thief had it still on 1 hour later, disconnecting my call after 1.5 rings. I tested the rings with my son’s Nexus 4 to make sure what is actually happening when I called my stolen cell.

Oh, did I mention Indy 500 and too many weird people are in the stores lately in here? I will be checking the Pawn shops tomorrow in the morning, too late today. I will have to forget about the cell, I LOVED IT; Just letting you know it is most likely not possible getting done the IMEI disabling in here.
[Nexus 4 General] statecowboy:
This doesn't help you if they just wipe the device though right? They can still erase and use the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Check craigslist too.
[Nexus 4 General] kcm117:
Woah

I know what you mean about weird people being in town. Would this have been by the Kroger near speedway today? I saw a lot of shady looking people there.
[Nexus 4 General] listicka:
Thank You Foxy Roxy, will do.

EDIT: It was couple of exits away from the I-465. The store was busier than usual, ... I will avoid shopping this whole weekend.
[Nexus 4 General] stevemw:
Sorry for your loss. Too bad you can't send a code to make the phone [violently] self-destruct.
[Nexus 4 General] d4c:
Well when you have an awesome phone like the nexus everyone wants a piece of the pie whether they can afford it or not.
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:
Wouldn't it be crazy if the thief knew about Android and XDA and was reading this thread laughing, maybe even replying and playing along?

With a GS4 or something probably not.. but stealing a Nexus might have a good chance of leading you here once you start researching it online..

With specifics being given about where the phone was taken from, they could easily know it's the one they stole..
[Nexus 4 General] SefEXE:
Maybe... IT'S YOU! :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
I just activated this yesterday as it is included with Avast Free, that I already had installed previously. If the phone is rooted, like mine, there is an option to install it so a hard reset does not remove it. I don't know the pros and cons of it vs Cerberus, but figured I better get something up and running.
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
Wow. After reading the first page of this thread and heard about Cerberus, I went and checked it out. I am just astonished at how amazing that app is. Gunna keep using the trial period, then probably buy it. I almost want someone to take my phone now, just to see the look on their face when I catch them red-handed lol.

Might not be the most relevant post I could have posted, but I just wanted to say that this thread has inspired me to take anti-theft action.
[Nexus 4 General] listicka:
LOL, that was a reason why I took out detailed store and location information in my Edit.

I filed a police report today in the morning. They told me not to bother to check Pawn shops while the Shops have to report every single cell phone they recieve to the Police. Yes, if they report it. The chances of getting it back are very slim. I just hope my credit card will give me the money back ASAP, so I can order another one. Cragslist has nothing listed, maybe the thief did read this post :)
[Nexus 4 General] zcucurullo:
Grocery store camera is your best bet. If you had AVG installed, you could ring the phone even if it's off, hope you find it.
[Nexus 4 General] listicka:
The Grocery store's Loss Prevention Officer told me, he will call me back today. He will review the tapes while I have an exact time of when it happened.
[Nexus 4 General] listicka:
Plan B

Please, can someone tell me if this would work on a stolen/lost cell if the Google password was changed already? Thank you
[Nexus 4 General] AmoghJahagirdar:
Yep like a boss

Good job reviving an old thread with useless comment
[One (M7) General] more2come:
Hey XDA friends,

I was testing my One today with some intense gaming and benchmarking. I noticed that Real Racing 3 was slowing down after some time of gaming. So I ran Antutu before and after my gaming session. My score before: 24567, my score after 20 minutes of Real Racing 3: 19945 !

Especially the GPU score was significantly lower in the second test. It seems that the One is throttling speed when reaching defined temperatures. There is a thermald.conf in /system/etc , but impossible for me to read out. A modified thermald.conf or a custom kernel should sort that out!
[One (M7) General] shox22:
Mh.. we had a guys that ran a lot of taiji basemark runs (loop) and had no problem with throttling. Maybe Taiji is gpu only and real racing 2 needs gpu and cpu a lot. A bit worrying though.
[One (M7) General] hung2900:
Thermal throttling really is a big problem for S4 Pro. So S600 has to suffer it also, although HTC made a very thin copper cover inside for reducing the heat.

GPU tests don't make a significant stress on the system. The thermal throttling happens mostly when both CPU and GPU reaching the limit.
[One (M7) General] more2come:
That's too bad... :-/

My Nexus 4 really suffered from thermal throttling, too. But a custom kernel by Franco with lowered voltages and a newly written thermal handling routine sorted that out, the SoC didn't become too hot and didn't throttle at all!
[One (M7) General] Carter07:
Can someone try running Stability Test (cpu+gpu test) to see at what temperature is throtled?
[One (M7) General] skr_xd:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

May be an isolated issue and not with all devices?

Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
[One (M7) General] more2come:
I can hardly believe that this is an isolated issue! I'm pretty sure that the S600 has the same temperature handling routines as the S4 Pro. The presence of a thermald.conf in /system/etc/ shows that there are defined parameters for SoC throttling to protect the device.

If you're willing to test that, just give Real Racing 3 a go for about 30 minutes and run Antutu directly afterwards. Or run stability test for longer periods of time.
[One (M7) General] nk7600:
If this is the case, you would have thought Qualcomm would have at least attempted to sort out the thermal issue as seen in some S4 Pro handsets!.
[One (M7) General] MrKaon:
I did what did you ask there is not really difference in Antutu result, before and after, both above 22K.

I played around 25 minutes of RR3
[One (M7) General] more2come:
@MrKaon

Are you on some custom ROM?
[One (M7) General] MrKaon:
No m8 Stock
[One (M7) General] more2come:
Thanks, that and your signature were very helpful! My stock firmware was from O2 Germany which is reportedly older than the most recent stock EU firmware. I flashed mike's Revolution ROM right now which has a newer firmware base and possibly a newer kernel. Thermal throttling doesn't happen on Revolution HD!
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
Well that's reckless and dangerous.

There is thermal throttling for a reason, and it's set very aggressively for a reason.
[One (M7) General] shox22:
Thermal throttling didnt steped in - but that doesnt mean that thermal throlltling isnt there. The change could come from the update to 1.28 (new driver for example). The same happened on the one x last year. There was an update that significantly reduced heat.
[One (M7) General] more2come:
It gets a little less hot on the backside with the newer firmware base, I can confirm that.
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
it gets hot, it throttles. it's a safety measure. why do u complain?

so u want your phone to breach the heat threshold then the chip dies and then u're gonna say htc one sucks becoz components die?
[One (M7) General] more2come:
Of course it's a safety measure, but in my opinion a smartphone shouldn't throttle due to normal usage. If the circumstances are abnormal (very hot summer temperatures, for example), throttling is okay and I'd welcome that to protect my valuable HTC. But while playing a game?

But there's no further reason for me to complain, because the newest firmware runs cool enough without throttling.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
so in the latest firmware its not throttling? can you add this info to your OP?
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
What is the latest firmware? Is there a published changelog and do I need to go back to stock to get at it?
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
latest should be 1.29
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
I'm on 1.28.401.7 :o how do I get the update?

Phone is telling me there are none?
[One (M7) General] Billy Madison:
Why you think so? Playing a game is a perfect reason for throttling, Galaxy S3 throttles to zero speed in games, why HTC One shouldn't?
[One (M7) General] more2come:
Such a powerful device should be able to perform constantly in normal circumstances. Today, a smartphone is also considered a handheld console, it shouldn't bog down because it's at maximum workload.
[One (M7) General] dobknobby:
Ive just looked at this, and done the same. . . about half an hour on RR3, 23000+ on both attemps. . . ill re-perform the test tomorrow to see again and give you excact results. . . Completely out the box standard here wilth quite alot of installed apps. . . .
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Help?
[One (M7) General] patato2:
Tech limit.Instead, I think game programmer should take it into consideration.

Or I'll need to get a big nice water cooler for my phone.
[One (M7) General] Kukubski:
Runing a benchmark test then playing a game with high requirements, then benchmark again is hardly normal usage.

Majority of owners will not do that.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
The alternative is to run it slower most of the time.

Think of it as free overclocking.

The S4 at a higher clock will throttle more often.
[One (M7) General] giorgoxxi:
I noticed this while playing a while on Temple Run OZ. After 20 mins or so, the game ran noticeably slower (and the phone was quite warm). Didn't realize it was thermal throttling until reading this thread.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumbledore78:
Hi Guys!

I have a little problem and wondered whether anyone could help?

I am running SGSII with Jellybean 4.1.2 and a Nexus 7 Tablet with Jellybean 4.2.2.

I listen to a lot of Audiobooks and was wondering whether it is possible to sync the playback position between my two devices so I can just pick them up keep listening from the last playback point on either device. I've tried to use Google Music but this doesn't seem to work and I've looked on the Market for an app but don't really know what the search criteria should be (if an app to do this even exists!).

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tonyf7:
So after flashing something I shouldn't have, I bricked my phone and had to unroot. After my initial boot I get the yellow text box as seen in my screenshot. It said I was in factory mode. Rebooting and and reflashing back to factory settings did nothing.

I did find a fix and it worked.

My questions is this.

I noticed this happens everytime I unroot. It didn't happen when I flashed my nandroid backup. If I ever need to return my phone to Verizon for whatever reason, I'll have to unroot and I'm pretty sure this factory mode problem will happen again.

So far as I know the only way to get rid of it is by rooting and changing a file in the eft folder.

But obviously I can't return a rooted phone to Verizon.

Would I be able to call Verizon and say, "Hey, my phone is stuck in something called factory mode. Send me a new phone please :)"

Any thoughts?
