This is what I did two weeks ago and it was a breeze. Running stock rooted. Did the wipe version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
Is this normal? I just picked up a white Note 2 on AT&T the other day and noticed the volume rocker is loose and rattles a little bit if the phone is shaken. Is this normal? Apparently others have noticed this too, but not enough for me to pass it off as normal? If your volume rocker is loose, does it slightly rattle? I think I am just being way too OCD haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xfaega:
As far as I know yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] awarbrick89:
Mine doesn't but I probably sat on the phone or something so I fixed it :P

If it did though, unless I felt it was going to fall out it was so loose, I wouldn't worry about it

Hello guys,

I've installed "NoFrills" CPU Control on my LG E720 on 3/4/13, and it worked quite well on that day.

But when I tried to turn on the phone on 4/4 , it just stuck in the "android icon screen" ( it must be boot-looping :angel: )

What's happening? Can I slove the problem without losing all the user data ?

Thanks for your help! :laugh:

Try flashing another rom through Recovery if not then revert back to stock rom.

-Rik[Rittik]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] win173d:
so in that case, will i be able to save my user data, or extract them from the phone to my pc?

Also, are there any tutorials about ‘flashing rom’, as i know little about it...

Many thanks :laugh:

If you hadnt backed up before. then my answer will be No. And depending on your device if the device has a dedicated Forum on XDA you will get more help there in terms of flashing Stock roms as All Manufacturers have different methods to do so. if there isnt i am sorry to tell you should go to service centre.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fullstrength:
Was only on stock for less than a day, rooted, installed a couple renditions of goodness and a random other and just haven't found what I want to be my daily. I've been on goodness 9.0.4 for quite some time but the headaches I've experienced just aren't what I'm used to. Before anyone asks, I always fully wipe phone sometimes twice before I sample. Did the same in my HTC Evo days. Which brings up were I'm going with this. On my original Evo I ran swagged out stock.....beautiful, and my Evo LTE, worse phone I've ever paid $200 for, I ran MeanBean...another great ROM to my suiting. For anyone unfamiliar with those 2 they are mostly stock ROMs with just the right amount of extras, custom boot animation, maybe a slightly tweaked drop down menu with a couple popular apps or settings added, the must have Super User and WiFi Tethering, and one of my favorites the ability to reboot into recovery from the power off menu, not sure what that's called but its priceless. So I begin by offering up my willingness to try other ROMs out there based on suggestions you, the experienced, throw out. But I can't help but wonder if all I really need is stock with a few extras. That's where I'm lost, I couldn't find a gs3 mod that would work for me and stopped before I broke something. Open for suggestions, and appreciate everyone's time. As well I am greatfull for all the hard work that the details s have put into the Roms I've tried, your incredibly talented people and your time and knowledge are above and beyond.

I was in the same spot as you for awhile. I've tried lots of roms and a lot of different setups. So far I've been on Cyanogenmod 10.1 the longest so far but that's far from stock TW. You also might want to check out Cm Rom, I really like that one. Lol But if you get the flashing bug you won't stay with any one rom for a long period of time. But good luck in you quest :)

Any AOSP ROM you have to flash the Sprint vvm if you want it separately, or use Google Voice.

Edit: Clean bean is not AOSP but you can still load the Sprint vvm apk on any ROM that does not have it. I always keep the most updated version on my external card for any AOSP ROM that I flash. Try one of the ROMs I posted earlier in the thread.

I just bought a SX56 and was using it with T-mobile service. I switched to Cingular and when I put my sim card in, I can't get a signal. I have tried to change the gsm bands but even this doesn't work. Can someone please help because I love the features of this phone and don't want to go back to a normal phone.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Have you unlocked it?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bigjusee:
Yes it's unlocked. I've tried it on all bandwidths and it won't detect cingular network. When I manually do it it won't save or work when I put cingular's network at the top of the list.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bigjusee:
Cingular operates on 850/1900 and some world phones on 1800 to. What is the problem I may have. Can I not use my SX56 with cingular?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] erickbryce:
you should be able to use a t-mo radio stack on a SX56 to get signal with Cingular GSM. You may have change the radio stack if you are still using AT&T radio stack. Cingular is still converting TDMA to GSM in some areas. While to-mo has allways been GSM in the US. Rare poss explination: AT&T selling GSM SX56 in your area that they have recently gone GSM in. You a t-mo customer bought a gsm phone and used it on another gsm providers network, then attempted to switch to Cingular which may not have gone GSM in your area. If you went into a Cingular store and they gave you a SIM card they should have gsm coverage. If this is the case I would bet your radio stack is still AT&T's so try changing to t0-mo stack and see what you get. Search this forum for links under ROM upgrades or try yorch.net.

Since we are on the subject oes anyone know where to get a generic worldwide radio stack for the XDA1 like on the i-Mate(s)? :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bigjusee:
I tried to download radio stacks from yorch.net and get error pages. Any other ideas? I lost and I really like this phone.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] andygee:
It depends on the area you are in for Cingular, most of their GSM operations are on 850 which the SX56 won't work on. If you are in the Carolina's I know it will work, but the other areas outside of here depend on the area. If you ask Cingular about it they will probably tell you it won't work. I would just ask Cingular what freqs. the towers in your area support. That will tell you for sure whether it will work or not.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] What?!?:
Siemens sx 56.... cingular

Same here.... My sx56 reads "NO SERVICE"... I was not sure if it was the sim or not so I took it to a local Cingular Dealer and the tecnician took my sim and inserted it to a Cingular cell phone and the service came on... Inserted the sim back in the Sx56 and again "NO SERVICE"

Things Ive tried ....

- reset the SX56

- went to boot loader mode (ver ver 5.22) and did the GSM Audio test and this produced a load audible sound

- went back to the bootloader mode and selected the GSM 900, 900/1800, and 1900 and still "NO SERVICE"

- then I thought.... could it be locked? inserted a Tmobile sim again and the service came on... NOT LOCKED

MAN... WHATS going on!?!?!? previous to this Cingular service I had Tmobile which worked like a breeze... WAP and ALL!!!!

Any IDEAS anyone???

XDA1 issues with Cingular

OK, here is my life story:

I purchased the XDA from ATT Wireless but want to use it on Cingular, so I unlocked the XDA and it working fine with the Cingular SIM. (However, the network XDA picked up is T-Mobile and not Cingular). And the XDA works great in my hometown Houston, Texas.

I then travel to Indianapolis, Indiana, as soon as I got out of the plane, switched on the XDA, and got a signal for celluar service. Great so far.

When I get to my office which is 60 miles southeast of Indianapolis, I got no signal. When inquire the available network, I can see several Cingular networks listed on top of the drop-down list, and then ATT Wireless, and then T-Mobile, but the XDA won't be able to register to any of these networks??? Then funny thing is this is the place where I signed up with Cingular service.

When I contact Cingular, the representative said that the XDA appear to work while roaming onto other networks, but it will not in the local Cingular service area. She said that my PDA phone is not compatible with the local network. Is this possible?

Originally, my RS version is A.20.10, I then upgrade to A.33.02 in hoping to resolve the problem, but no luck.

I'm now trying to upgrade my RS to T-Mobile 6.24.00 from yorch.net but when unzip the file, it asks for a password. Does anyone know what the password is???

Am I going in the right direction to make my XDA usable in a Cingular network?

:cry:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
I am having the same issue getting my unlocked T-Mobile PPCPE to register on a network when using a Cingular Wireless SIM in the Atlanta area.

The phone can see both T-Mo and AT&T networks when using the Cingular SIM, but it will not register one either one of them...? It does not see the Cingular network however, as I believe that Cingular is using the 850 band, with roaming agreement in place with T-Mo and AT&T.

I am using the WM2003 ROM and radio versions.

Any ideas why it will not register on the T-Mo or AT&T network, even though it "sees" them...?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] decepticon:
I am a Cingular customer care rep and I can tell you that the XDA will not work in the Indiana or Atlants markets. Reason being is that those markets are 850 and has no signs of being 1900 atleast until the AT&T buyout happens.

I am in South Mississippi and when we go GSM it will be 1900 but if I travel back to New Orleans I get no Cingular service because it again is another 850 market.

At this point the only 1900 GSM markets we have in the Southeast US is the Carolinas, Mobile, and South MS. Everyone else is 850.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Many thanks for the response. The curious thing to me is that if my device can accutally "see" the T-Mo and AT&T networks when it has a Cingular SIM installed, why won't it let me register on those 1900 Band networks? It seems that the Cingular SIM is somehow locked to the 850band and prevents the device connecting to any other network.... Is it because that where a Cingular 850band network exists, Cingular does not have roaming agreements in place with the other providers in that area? Do you know if the Cingular SIM could the SIM be programmed/enabled on the network side to allow a connection to a 1900 network?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] decepticon:
I have thought the same thing at times and unfortunately I can't say one way or the other. I do know that with my XDA when I travel back to New Orleans I lose signal literally when I cross the state line. I am buying an 850 capable phone soon so I can test my theory out and see what can be done.

Does your say unable to register on network too? When I switched my band to 1800 for some reason I was able to see the Cingular network on the phone but again not able to get on the network.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
yes, excatly, "cannot register on the network"... :cry: I have a "wild" theroy that says if I get a SIM from a Cingular store in an area where they have a native 1900 Band network, it might be set up in such a way to let me roam in the Atlanta area...? The other question I had that you may be able to answer is do Cingular sell any GSM phones that do NOT have the 850 band, or are all the Cingular GSM phones now 850/1900/900 ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] decepticon:
I can squash your theory on the SIM right now because I have an active sim from a 1900 market and it still don't work.

As far as the 1900 only phones, we haven't carried them in about 2 years because the Carolinas and California were our only GSM markets for a while and we had no need for 850 but now all we have is dual band or higher for 850.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Ok, many thanks. That will save me a trip to the Cingular store in Ohio when I am there next week :) So, a Cingular SIM will work in any Cingular dual band (or higher) phone allowing it to switch between available 850 and 1900 band networks that are operated by Cingular. In the case where a Cingular network is present, will they let you pick another carriers network (say AT&T) or will it force you to the Cingular network every time?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] decepticon:
It always will look for Cingular first but then go from there to a certain list of carriers and if those are not found it says to hell with it and takes anything it can get.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Hmmmm... still a mystery then, as my PPC PE could see both AT&T and TMo networks when the Cingular SIM was in it, but was unable to connect to either of them...? :( I have some contacts in the Cingular IT organization in Atlanta, so I'll see if they can shed any more light. Will let you know what I find out.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sunray:
I feel your pain

If you think your experience is frustrating the plot thickens.

I'm in South Florida.

I have a TMobile that I unlocked middle of last year (Aug/Sep 2003) put in a Cingular SIM and worked perfectly (Roaming on the TMobile 1900 network) then a few months ago I had a lot of Outdoors, rugged type activities planned so I decided to pamper my PocketPC and put the Cingular SIM back into the "disposable" Cingular GSM that I got for a penny :)

Well days turned into weeks and months so a few days ago I decided to put the SIM back into the PocketPC. When I did, I got a "no signal" from both SIM's. I tried setting(bandwidth) and testing the GSM through the bootloader etc. You name it I tried it . I eventually upgraded to the TMobile WM2003 ROM and Radio Stack in desperation. And you guessed it...No joy. I get "NO SERVICE"

I know Cingular down here has migrated to the 850 but I don't know why roaming on TMobile 1900 has been disabled.

So in a nutshell: Cingular SIM used to work in a TMobile XDA up to a few months ago and now doesn't. :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Very frustrating!! Based on your experience, I am guessing that Cingular are applying some kind of 'carrier lock' on the SIM, where they have their own 850 band networks in place. Designed to stop roaming, where they would have to reimburse the other carrier as part of the service exchange agreement. Logic being that the fewer customers you have roaming on another carriers ntwork, the less you will pay your competition! I'll try and find out for sure and see if there is a way around it...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sunray:
Your logic is sound except for one thing:

The very reason you (Service Providers) have roaming agreements in place is so your customers will have coverage/service where you don't have towers. So since the TMobiles are 1900 only (North America) and the Cingular network is 850 (I can only confirm this for South FL) the phone can only "see" the TMobile network, at least in theory. Hence the roaming success I had previously. So theoretically using the Cingular SIM in the TMobile would be the same as if you had a Cingular GSM in an area without Cingular towers/coverage and would automatically use whatever provider Cingular had reciprocal roaming agreements in place with.

I appreciate any research or help or even if there are holes in my reasoning please feel free to comment :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Well, yes, that was the logic I was following also, but I believe that Cingular must have implemented something that has some additional sophistication in it. The only thing that makes sense to me is that somehow the Cingular SIM blocks the connection to a 1900band network, when an 850band is present. Here's my theory of how that might work...

Lets say you have the Cingular SIM in your PPP PE and are in the Atlanta area where Cingular has its own 850Band network. In this area, there are also 1900 band networks available from Tmo and AT&T. The PPC PE of course does not "see" the Cingular 850Band network, but sees the TMo and AT&T 1900Band networks. When you try and register to one of the 1900band networks the first thing the SIM does (guessing here...) is check the area code / location of the tower that its picking up on the 1900 network. If that corrulates to an area where Cingular has 850Band coverage, it denies the registration on the 1900Band network, thus avoiding roaming payments to TMo or AT&T and forces the user to get at least a dual 850/1900 band device from Cingular... :shock: All guesses and conjecture at this point of course, but it would explain why you can connect in some areas and not others... What do you think??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sunray:
Unfortunately I think you make perfect sense. :(

But from a business operations point of view let me describe a scenario why I don't think/hope :) they or any provider wouldn't do it that way:

Let's say I'm near to Cingular tower AAA and for whatever reason there's a problem with that tower (I know that there should be some overlap and other Cingular towers would take over, but just go with me here) and/or adjacent towers wouldn't it be desirable for them to have their customer have coverage transparently through roaming if necessary? We know they or any provider would prefer using their own network exclusively(cost) but let's face it no corporation eats expenses they gleefully pass the cost on to us the captive audience ie. roaming rates/fees.

Actually maybe I'm overthinking it :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Well, yes, I agree with you about providing your customers with seamless connectivity. I need to find out some more from some friends I have in the Cingular IT shop...

One interesting and related thing about this is that when Cingular first went GSM, they were pushing their GAIT phones a lot. These are the devices that are both GSM and TDMA capable. The rationale here is to provide TDMA coverage (the heritage BellSouth Cellular technology) wherever GSM was not available, or when the GSM switches were at full capacity. Another way to avoid your customers roaming on another network... :?:

I'll see if I can dig up anything further... It would be nice to think that there is a network parameter that can be switched on or off to allow roaming. Then all we would need to do is find someone that would do that in rder to capture another customer :)

Cingular network with ATT phone (SX56)

Hi,

I am very new to this (actually got my phone this morning). Now here is my situation. I am a cingular customer with a cingular GSM phone. I have taken my SIM card from my old phone and put it into my new one :-)... thinking that it would work no problem. But to no avail. I cannot seem to get any signal what so ever. I have used the rom on this site (to unlock), have used the T-mobile rom with no luck and now am back with the latest ATT ROM from Seimens site and the latest radio stack.

Am I doing something wrong? I cannot get it to even see any other networks and cannot get any signal what so ever. Please help me :-(

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
What do you see as 'available networks' when you use the manual rather than the automatic 'search for available networks' function?

Also, do you know if Cingulars GSM network is on the 850 or 1900 band in you area? If its 850, then thats almost certainly your problem. If this is the case its unlikely that any kind of radio stack upgrade will help.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rmatalon:
I was fooling around with it last night , and it came up and I saw at&t and T mobile as available networks, but it couldn't connect to them when i tried. I REally am not sure what to do as I beleive that i have just paid a lot of money for a pda. I am under the impression that the cingular network down here opperates on 1900 band. That is what a rep told me on the phone. If there is anyone who has gotten this to work,. please help. I am seriously considering taking it to the cingular store and asking them for some help. Thanks guys anything would really be appreciated
