Not connecting to network

Having a little issue with a second hand Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). The phone will not connect to the O2 or the Orange networks (When I try to make a call "Not registered on network" pops up). It is rooted and unlocked, I rebuilt the phone from parts and was not sure if I just gotten a bad main board but I don't think that is the case as I have contacted O2 and was told that "the IMEI is not associated to the mobile number". I do not really follow what this means, I've ordered a couple more sims to try on different networks, but I didn't think it was possible to lock an IMEI to a particular operator. Any idea what my next step should be?

Thanks.

No problem bro.. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
Oh, i see. :(

It's terrible to lose a phone.

But you can avoid it, to be more careful about your PDA in the future.

But i think, you will be more careful anyway.

For what do you need your IMEI?

Hi. I have a paid theme for launchers in the Play Store. Customers more often asking to add new colors. Unfortunately change the theme colors programmatically by user request is impossible - almost all graphics need to be changed. In other words make the same themes, but in other colors. I do not want to sell the same thing, just in other colors - it would not be fair. Also I do not want to make them free, because it still the same themes just in other colors. So here's the question. Is it safe for developer account to add the direct links for apk downloading in main activity? Or maybe it will be apk inside apk... Of course, the user will see what he download and install, and all of this will be with user confirmation and without any malware. So it's safe to add direct download links or apk inside apk?

I would be infinitely grateful for your answers!

P.S. Sorry for my english.

Tried to update past Manufacturer's official Android release and failed

Okay, so what started all of this was my looking at buying a smart watch. I then realized that the only Android device I own (a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 gt-p3113), was only supported by Samsung to update to Android 4.2, and smart watches (or at least the one I want) require Android 4.3. So I attempted to update by installing a basic ROM with Odin (I was tired and misread the website). Then, realizing my mistake, I uninstalled this and replaced it with stock firmware. Then I tried to install SOKP (even thought this would update to 4.4.4 instead) on it to accomplish my original goal (link to guide was supposed to go here but as a new and nooby member I am not able to post links. It's on the team android website and the name of the article is "Update Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 with SOKP Android 4.4.4 KitKat Custom Firmware"). However, when I tried to install the Gapps .zip files, the installation failed. I tried to boot it anyway, and got a screen that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." In addition to this, the custom recovery I used (CWM latest verion) was deleted or overridden somehow by the stock recovery, so I am unable to install an older version of Gapps to see if that works. Any advice on how to get Gapps installed, or at least restore my tablet to its former glory?

Why not Odin your stock firmware back on and start over? If you don't have a backup, there's nothing you can do to recover stuff.

[General Questions and Answers] NightRaven49:
Under settings, check your SIM card settings, under your wireless and network settings (with your WiFi Bluetooth switches and whatnot). There should be an option under your SIM card settings to toggle between 2G and 3G.

Try plugging your sdcard into a computer and see if it is actually corrupted. You could try saving your data from there as well.
[General Questions and Answers] H4RSH1T:
Plugged into Pc. And yeah it is actually corrupted. No data found on the music folder. Only some weird named files of total size 77 GB. Yes GB! But my sdcard is of only 16 GB! What can I do to save my data?

[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Search for your device on Google and put xda in the search. Example "tmobile Samsung galaxy s3 xda" ... The very first link should be the xda link to your specific device, in there you can look at the ROMs tab and in the android original development thread and find a compatible ROM that is hopefully the android version you want. You have to be VERY careful looking for roms outside xda because there's a lot of bs out there.

"Best ROM" decisions are not permitted on XDA, calling one ROM as the best one can be taken as an insult by other ROM developers.

You should do as [MENTION=5888332]sdeepb[/MENTION] suggested, and you'll find your "best ROM".

Best of luck

Rooting xperia z3 6616

i was wondering if rooting xperia z3 with build number 23.1.D.1.123 was possible? iv seen a few tutorials but none of them mention my build number so im not sure if ital work or not
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
You should try first..... Or ask someone on the thread
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can't find anything for your specific device model and build number and you try rooting anyway then do some research for rooting apps and PC programs that do not harm the device if they fail, find as many of them as you can and try them before you go on to more dangerous methods, that way you run less risk of harming your device. There are very many apps and PC programs designed for this so there is a good chance you'll find something if you exhaust every lead you can find. If you try the dangerous methods then do some searches before you start and download your stock firmware and store it somewhere, make sure you have any and or all PC programs(various flashing tools) that are compatible with your device for restoring your device should something go wrong, also before you start, do some research to find the known methods for recovering from various stages of bricking. Never experiment on a device with things that are not documented to be known methods without being prepared with everything you can find that is associated with your device, also search for any methods that have been tried but didn't work, it will save you some time so that you don't try things that have already been tried.

A good start would be trying with Towelroot, it has various values that can be changed to target different exploits.

Also framaroot, its an old app but it is still known to work on newer devices, it also has multiple exploits.

Happy hunting and good luck buddy.

Freeze Samsung Keyboard to make device safe?

There may be a better place to ask this, if so, please let me know.

There has been a lot of news the last two days about the Samsung version of the Swiftkey keyboard that is installed on Samsung devices. It self-updates in a way that creates a very bad security hole. I use a different keyboard, but the Samsung one still silently tries to update itself in the background without the owner's knowledge, so the hole still exists.

My question is, will freezing that Samsung Keyboard (with Titanium Backup) stop it from trying to update, therefore fixing the security hole for now?
[General Questions and Answers] Noobdead:

I have a better workaround... If u still want to use swiftkey but doesn't want that security hole to be created then download firewall and block swiftkey from accessing internet... U can then use it normally without having to worry about automatic updates creating security hole... ;)
[General Questions and Answers] smallthings:
I'm unsure what to block. If disabling/freezing the app doesn't stop it from updating, then blocking it at firewall won't either, right? Updating happens via some other Samsung process I think.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do this, use a firewall as suggested to block your keyboard from the internet, then go to the play store and check your installed apps, if the keyboard shows on the list then you probably havent stopped it from being able to update, but you could always turn off autoupdates for your apps then selectively choose which ones update, then you could prevent the keyboard from updating.

You can also uninstall the keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] hellakarsh:
Disabling/Freezing is an another task... If u revoke its internet access from firewall, then there is NO WAY that it can access internet for update ... It will definitely stop it from updating...

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

I have a doubt... U said that blocking from firewall will make it disappear from play store... Does blocking an app from firewall make it disappear from play store? I think to prevent it from appearing in play store we must have to detach its market link, right?

Hi everybody,

My problem is: I have a Tengda S5 or Dapeng G9000 phone (mtk6592, android 4.2.2.). I found in the needrom.com that the ram quality is fake. So I hunted down the cheating file, in the system directory (it was changeram.xml) and deleted it. My phone inmediately frozen down and I can turn off only if I remove the battery. Of cours it can't boot since then.

The phone can enter to factory and recovery mode but can't boot and only connect to PC in recovery mode.
