wow a locked bootloader; what the !!!! BIG time strike against the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Irish Enigma:
HTC One Bootloader is still unlockable ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Any HTC bootloader is unlockable. Do you have s-off/nand-unlocked yet? Exactly. Makes flashing roms a PITA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] E The Magnificent:
I know what phone I'm not using my upgrade on now

I love the 90s. Good times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
+1

I say to heck with it all and go with a nexus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Not that I'm a big supporter of HTC or anything, but their newest Bootloader unlock lets you flash kernels via recovery, even with S-On. The only limitations is flashing modified radios without HTC's signature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Really? I know that viper was writing the boot.img differently in his roms because the s-on wouldnt let you do it otherwise
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
What carrier of the S4 they were referring to?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goblue30093:
the engadget review was of the T-Mo, but probably all of them will be this way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Good point.

In that case, I doubt it. The verizon S3 came with a locked bootloader, whereas the Sprint version did not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
That, and another thing, I'm surprised other tech sites didn't report this locked bootloader news after having their time playing with their test units.

Infected anTPRax ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I believe THIS is the article the OP is referring to. But as CNexus said, it might not be locked on Sprint. But honestly it doesn't matter to me. I will not be Upgrading to the S4. It really doesn't blow me out of the water with Features, Screen, or anything else. Not to mention eventually most of those new features we will be able to have on our S3's ;) .

This is where I got my information from. Flashing Roms via recovery will be fairly simple on HTC One.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Ok well, thats not right. On HTC devices (only exception I know of is the EVO 4G), having s-on makes the boot partition unwriteable, except via fastboot and some other hacks

I just got finished helping this guy get his phone booting again. He flashed a rom for the international HTC One and was bootlooping even after flashing another rom. Fastbooting the boot.img fixed him right up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
After reading the comments, you're right. I was misinformed.

Want to know what else is or will be locked? This thread..lol

Sad to see sammy start doing this, last years policy was, if a carrier wants a locked bootloader, sammy will give them one....I hope the new policy isn't locked bootloaders come standard.

Does anyone know how to get Amazon Prime videos to play on G Note2?

I have flash for ICS side loaded, but videos won't play. Other flash content works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Google for jb flash apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SkyPhone:
Thank you. There are many Google links, but the best points to an xda thread that I've read many times. That thread has a link to a thread that describes how to get pinch zoom working, and I've contributed to that thread. My problem is that I can get flash"working", but only on other sites, not Amazon prime. The AP videos will start, and I can even pause and resume, but I don't see any video. I've tried many flash versions, many browsers and many user agent settings, but haven't found any combination that works on 4.1.2. Any thoughts on where to go from here? I'd like to find someone on JB 4.1.2 who has it working and get their exact settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Oh I didn't understand your question. I had just googled for my flash, probably fit the sane thread you did. I don't use Amazon though so I won't be any help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SkyPhone:
I don't use Amazon Prime either. But my better half does, and I'm trying to help her out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
I think it's an Amazon thing that prevents playing the movies on anything other than a Kindle, even if you pay for Prime, which I do, and I am pretty sure that I should be able to watch the movies I pay for, in addition to the Prime membership fee, on any device I want. (rant over).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starxlights:
I totally agree with you!

Though Amazon does let you watch movies on other devices like Roku etc, but thats not what all of us here care so much about :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SkyPhone:
On JB 4.1.1 it was possible to watch Prime on a Note 2 by installing Flash and setting the User Agent to desktop. That is according to reports in the threads about installing Flash on JB. It seems that something changed with 4.1.2.

Hi,

Month ago I did an 'upgrade' with my XDA I to a self cooked version of ROM (based on 4.00.16).

Now I want to get a new version to that XDA but I cannot get to the bootloader menu. If I use the Programm_A, I will get a message like the device cannot be addressed properly for an upgrade.

Who had this problem already and knows how to get back to the bootloader menu?

Thanks!

I downloaded (via wifi) the app "lte on/off" to get a look at what was happening, and the radio keeps rapidly switching on and off, on and off over and over again. This happened with all the AOKP versions i tried and both CM10 versions I tried. Ive rebooted, re-flashed, tried different download links, reflashed again, wipe and reflash. Im at a complete loss here guys, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had similar problems on cm10.1. I have no idea if this will work (I'm outside the US, and my phone asked me to activate the phone), but I also had no service, no data. I changed my network mode from GLOBAL to GSM/WCDMA auto. Now I have service and data (Data after applying the correct carrier apn settings)

I hope this helps you all :)

P.S. after this step I made factory resets without the need to do the above step again (You only need to put the correct apn settings again if your on networks other than Verizon)

I've not owned a Samsung smartphone, (only HTC in the past). For those of you that have the phone in hand, does it come with any micro SDHC/XC card preinstalled or is that slot empty?

Didnt' know if I would have to do so pre-copying prior to installation of my 64GB card.

How to root your Dapeng A75

1. Download driver for Windows, just this MT6573ADBdrivers.zip from http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/MT6573ADBdrivers.zip

Unzip and connect the phone on to the computer via USB. You will be prompted to install the new hardware wizard, and specify the directory where you unzipped the driver. (If you are not prompted right click "my computer" and click manage, then click device manager (on the left) and right click MTK65.... (with yellow triangle next to it) and update driver software, browse my computer and then select where you unzipped the drivers)

2. Download TPSparkyRoot_ haipai _noble_I9220.zip from http://mediafire.com/?wvb2v914y0uddtj and unzip.

3. On your phone, enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources. Start TPSparkyRoot.bat. In the command prompt (on your PC) you will see the progress of root. If you successfull connected the Dapeng A75 via USB to your computer and you have installed the drivers for Windows follow the on screen instructions (In the command prompt).

Root has 3 steps, where each single step the phone is restarted. Root program waits until you press any key to confirm that the phone has restarted.. After the third restart (which turns off root program on the PC) you can test that root was successful by installing Root Checker from the playstore, this will test if your phone is rooted or not.

Note:Root your phone installs these files : busybox, File_Expert_4.1.8.apk, GooglePlayStore3.5.19.apk, Su, Superuser.apk, vending-5.3.16-mod.apk

If you root failed, repeat steps 3 and 4

NOTE : I have tried this on my own dapeng A75 and it worked flawlessly

NOTE 2 : If for some reason this breaks your phone (It shouldn't but I'm just saying), I take NO responsibility !

I bought some days ago the MDAII for 550€ without SIMLook.

For me the MDA Software is very boring and am missing the features of the XDAII Software.

So my question is...

is it possible to (Software-)Upgrade a MDAII to a XDAII with the Tools wich I can find at this page?

Sorry, I'm a newbie...

and many thnx for the responses!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Pobman:
Quick answer 'Yes'

Slightly longer answer, take the Update from the O2 website, use ER2003 Edit to change the country ID to T-Mobile, then flash away.

I had Dutch T-Mobile...then O2... now custom O2 (removed all O2 custom stuff and got rid of MMS as I dont use it etc etc).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] farnold:
While it is technically possible... if you are a newbie and don't have much experience, I can just recommend: DON'T DO IT... these hacking programs can also lead to complete loss of a working device!

Hi,

I'm a Newbie too, but why should he change the country ID to T-Mobile, if he has a Sim UNlocked handy it should work anyway ... or is it not that way ???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] farnold:
Because if he fails with the procedure and ends up with an unworkable device he will have to go to his vendor who might ask some questions and maybe even reject doing anything about it... is it really worth is?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
I also have the MDA II, with current 1.60.36 ROM. I liked the 1.60 better.

I'm not sure why you would think O2s ROM is so much more exciting I'm not sure. Besides a different today screen I doubt there is that much difference, except for stability. In fact I was very close to upgrading to O2 1.60.50 myself, but decided to wait for T-Mobile to come out with their next upgrade, which I would think should be soon, because it has been awhile since their last poorly put together upgrade.

As long as you are willing to take the risk of a voided warranty, go for it.

The place to get the upgrade, from t_mobile to O2 is right in this forum index. Look for User-MDKIA. This fellow that put this together I believe knows what he is doing and because of the way he has developed the upgrade I do not believe you need to be concerned about the Country ID error.

Good luck.http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=7278&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Pobman:
Because in my case I had to, gave Country ID error when I tried to put the O2 ROM on my T-Mobile unit.

Dont know why people worry about doing it, as long as you follow instructions its dead simple... unless you are editing the ROM (ie removing bits) you cant really go wrong! Even if you do edit the ROM you still cant really go wrong if you read whats on this site!

Even if you **** up completely as long as you can get to the bootloader you can always flash it back to how it was...

its not rocket science...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] fliegmalweg:
I wantet to flash the O2 ROM to the MDAII because I have a O2 SIM Card. Some Options like the Homezone Statusviewer or the O2 Active profiles are very useful.

But... If it's so easy as described... It should be no problem to reconvert a MDAII with XDAII ROM back to MDAII ROM (for example if I want to sell it) or not?

thnx for all these useful informations.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Xant:
I don't know your problem... it's really easy as hell.

Just use Er2003edit, it takes care for everything!!!

Here you can edit the header information with a drop down menu.

If you currently have a MDA2 simply change the header info in the three ROM-files from O2 to TMOBILE, then run the upgrade.

You cannot do something wrong, the upgrade tool will not start at all if not everything is right, and even then still the bootloader is available.

I haven't heared so far of a trashed XDA2 device ;-)

By the way... think of making your own Ext-rom ;-)

Investigate the threads refering to Er2003edit, I think they explain pretty good what it is all about.

In the end it is simple drag 'n drop with programs you like to have after hardreset (or don't have). When finished update the config.txt file which handles the install process, note not to use programmes which execute a softreset after install.

Look at this thread

settings o2 rom (germany)

Hi,

I'm using a MDA II (T-Mobile) and a O2 card.

I'm interessted in umgrading to a O2 rom but I'm afraid of loosing warranty. I'm not afraid that something should be wrong by flashing the o2-rom to my xda II but I have 2 years warranty left and in that time some other things may happend to my system that I must use the warranty.

So I need the O2 settings of the O2 rom to use MMS, WAP, GPRS,... Which file of the O2 rom have stored these settings?

There are a lot of files in that rom, what are these all for?

I coppied allready the homezone tool which works fine on my XDA II (don't start automatically - coppied to autostart but don't start , only manual start works - somone a sollutions for that?).

Does anyone know for what all the programs in my startfolder are for? There are a lot of entried which will fast system... But I don't want to find it out by trieing....

Does anyone knows a good simulation for the XDA II to test software. I dont' want to put all on my life system and delete again. I thing the regestry will grows bigger and bigger....
