No AOSP ROMs at all? I would go back to complete stock, update to MA7 or MC2 then reroot and try flashing again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Wipe 3X. Data, System, cache, Dalvik.

Anything less and you're bound to get problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
i did; wiped data 3x, system 3x, cach and dalvik 3x, installed cm 10.1 then right after Gapps but again says skip md5 check there is no md5 file and bootloops on CM 10 boot animation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Does it bootloop...or have you just been impatient? 1st boots of a new ROM can take a while.

Presuming it is stuck at boot splash...either an unstable build, or a corrupt download are possible. Verify the MD5 of your downloads.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
did you watch my video? it was sitting for 5 minutes,on the cyanogenmod boot animation.

i just restored and back on ljc perfectly fine. but i guess my phone does not like flashing as i said and in the video it hangs and skips the md5 check
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
okay i used Toolkit 4.1.0 and chose to flash to stock and it didnt work because i still have root and still on ljc, and same setup as before, i cant update to ma7, however i chose to install stock recovery, but i know if i do update it will fail.

EDIT: **** it wont even reboot to install the update. says rebooting now and nothing. F THIS PHONE.

I CANT EVEN UNROOT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuigiBull23:
Every device handles things differently, including first boot up times. It can take anywhere from 5-10min. So don't worry about how short Josh's boot up time was in his video. I highly suggest you:

1) Wipe system, data, cache/dalvik 3x

2) flash ROM and Gapps

3) Go back and perform a "factory reset" 3x

4) Reboot

5) Let phone sit at most 15min.

Just do this one final time exactly as instructed and assuming you've tried earlier nighties, if it doesn't boot up by 15 min then you'll know it's the phone and NOT you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
what do i do if its the phone? i cant even unroot, i cant even flash to stock WTF! tried using toolkit but nothing. only thing i accomplished was being able to install stock recovery, and went back into android and chose to reboot to install update from OTA wont even reboot when it says rebooting now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuigiBull23:
Ok... Do you still have that LJC nandroid backup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
correct yeah because i restored so i can atleast use my phone to try to fix it using toolkit

EDIT: Hooray i finally got it that did the trick this time. however basband is still LJC but is 4.2.2 because i went through setup this time and was able to boot up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
At least you got it fixed. :)

ROMs do not alter the baseband firmware, unless explicitly stated otherwise. They might depend on a given baseband firmware, but most ROMs apart from stock-restoration ROMs do not include baseband/modem firmware upgrades. For that you need to look in N2 Android Dev for the MA7 or MC2 firmware flashable zips.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuigiBull23:
For future reference you can also use this one click option rather than the toolkit.

Why does it say that in lockscreen? No data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuigiBull23:
That's from your Chronus weather widget and it's displaying No Data because it can't track down your location through gps or Yahoo services.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adizz131:
Hey All,

I was reading the user manual for the S4 (Link), and it said on page 8 "Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions".

If I didn't look online for the manual, I wouldn't have known this information, as I didn't get the manual with my phone. (Only the quick start guides).

What is everyone opinion on this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adizz131:
Which areas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
They probably be cut around sensors at the top.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeastglasser:
I'd assume that it's because of the floating touch. Being an owner of the Note 2 (that has floating touch with the S-Pen) I can tell you that a screen protector doesn't affect my experience.

Now if the S4 uses a different way of capturing floating touch (because it doesn't have a stylus), this may be true. I suppose only time and testing will tell.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
i'm still going to use screen protectors.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustSueMe:
I have screen protector. I got it with the phone when preordered. Its cut around the home button and cut just before sensors at top. All works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JihadSquad:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark5tar:
Get a screen protector and a case if you don't want to scratch your phone, that way you can sell it in an "excellent" condition. I had my GS3 for 8 months and it's still in pristine condition.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
I have had a screen protector on since day one with no malfunctions. Also, you will notice that protectors designed for the S4 don't cover the sensors at the top of the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuuuuuuuu:
It makes the floating touch slightly less sensitive (and accurate at longer distances), but other than that it's fine.

[General Topics] rwc3b:
I have some old phones (early 2000's) and an AT&T Microcell that I'm trying to sell. Some of them are tied to T-Mobile and others are tried to Verizon. If I just delete the personal info on there manually, is that all that's needed to safely sell the phones? I did sell an iPhone previously and just did a clean wipe. I'm not sure if there's any thing else I need to do. For the Verizon phones, the IMEI is still valid despite porting number to a new phone, right?

As for the AT&T Microcell, I believe I'm somehow registered through it when I got it from AT&T. Is it safe for me to hand it off without the fear of having my personal data in the hands of someone else?
[General Topics] syung:
If you fear others having access to your personal data, the best option would be to never sell your old phones. There is no way to completely wipe a phone unless it has been rooted, and a factory reset will still leave forensic artifacts that can be extracted by a forensic investigator. Since factory resetting is the only option for non-rooted phones, you should probably not sell it off.

Android? Rooting? He's talking about early 2000's phones. They can't be Android or be rooted lol.
[General Topics] syung:
Exactly, so therefore, the best option for you would be to not sell your phone if you fear having your information stolen, as there is no way to reliably wipe the phone without leaving forensic artifacts. With older phones, it is easier to retrieve forensic artifacts as forensic software makers have a lot of time to create specific software targeting those devices.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwenguer:
My girl has a RAZR HD which he dropped 2 days ago. Screen is shattered and stays black. we got a replacement from assurion and I have to send back this broken one. Only thing is she wants the pictures deleted from the phone before we send it back (far from PG rated stuff on there). I tried transferring by plugging into the PC but it says the folder is empty. Im unable to mount internal SD card. and she had no external SD card.

no im not familiar with ADB, but thats my last resort (learn it quick or have a friend pull from SD thru adb). Any way to mount (without looking at the screen) so i can do an easy transfer on the PC?

Thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saloums7:
If all you want to do is delete them, why not flash the phone back to stock with RSD? Would erase everything including the pics
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thund3rbay:
Good idea... put the phone in fastboot and flash the original sbf
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwenguer:
Are you sure that will erase the internal SD? I did this a while back when there were some OTA issues and I don't remember my internal SD being wiped.

Also, screen was stuck, it had full battery and I was unable to turn off the phone to get into fast boot. Just waiting for the battery to die since she charged it recently.

Edit - yes I tried holding power and volume down and that didn't work to turn it off. (Maybe do to lockscreen?) So just going to wait for battery to die.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scourge1024:
You could also do a "fastboot erase userdata" or "fastboot -w" to wipe everything.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwenguer:
Tried everything. Without a working screen to touch, the ability to turn on USB debugging is not possible. Can't get into recovery or fast boot with the power and volume rockers. Nothing.

Computer won't recognize device in adb.

With phone off, can I use rsd to flash sbf file? Having no luck and its about time to get dirty with it. Don't care about retrieving files.. just want the photos on the phone gone.

Few seconds in the microwave should zap all components of the phone, eh? Any safer or easier ways? I think if you even choose to submerge the phone in water, the internal SD can dry and eventually be readable.

Gotta ship it back soon.

Originally told insurance company the screen simply cracked. Now let's say something more drastic happened to the device... say it was theoretically run over by a truck.. would..

a) they try to charge you more than the basic $100

b) they even try to keep some of the internal parts (sd)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saloums7:
If it's only the screen that's busted you could try accessing fastboot blindly by getting the right number of Vol +– clicks... And since USB debugging is off it would be the only way I know of accessing it... About the microwave... I have no idea how it could impact the device but it's never a good idea to microwave a battery...

Make sure you put your phone in download mode, and also Samsung USB Drivers installed on your PC. Try other USB cable if it did'nt work. Redownload the firmware, maybe it is a corrupted file
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If you can boot into recovery then format data and cache, that might make the phone bootable again. If that doesn't help then boot into download mode as above and flash the correct stock rom via odin.

If it won't boot into download then you have a hard brick, service centre repair required.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to by an XDAII? And which is better, an O2 XDAII or an IMATE? I see several auctions for O2 XDA II's on EBAY. I would assume I could buy one there and unlock it for T-Mobile..

I'm also leaning more towards O2 because of the announced ROM upgrade to support Blackberry functionality.. I would assume this would hopefully work with T-Mobile as well as the other blackberry devices software seems to be carrier independant.

It is rooted. It has superuser installed.

I checked whether the phone is rooted or not with RootChecker and the App showed me that the phone is rooted.

I bought the Titanium Backup Pro and APN Manager PRO from Android Market.

I made APN Manager PRO a System App by going into the Titanium Backup Pro.

Initially I was unable to enter the APN in Home-->Settings-->More Settings ---> Mobile Networks ---> Access Point Names.

But after making the APN Manager Pro a System App using the Titanium Backup Pro, I was able to enter the APN Settings.

Can Any one tell me, what did I do wrong?

Any help is highly appreciated.

This is the reply I got from the Straight Talk Representative. I did not contact them. They intentionally, PMed me, and they intentionally

WANT TO GIVE THE WRONG INFORMATION.

Hi Qzmpal,

We are sorry to inform you that Straight Talk's BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) program will only work with an unlocked domestic GSM phone. The reason why you are getting EDGE speeds because we don’t support it. It cannot be used on the BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) program because these phones are under the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology which does not use a SIM card.

Feel free to send us an email at ST.CorpResolutionTeam@straighttalk.com.

Straight Talk Wireless
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landale:
The problem is that while the Verizon Galaxy S3 supports Gsm it has a block preventing 3G service on AT&T and T-Mobile, which of course are the two carriers Straight Talk use for byop. International carriers work with 3G though. Sorry for the bad news.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Gotta agree with everything here. OP, nothing that Straight Talk said is misinformation. Nobody using the Verizon GSIII has anything more than Edge data on GSM carriers in the US. If you want higher speeds, sell your device, buy a proper quad/pentaband GSM phone and switch carriers.
