[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abesgs2:
Lol sorry guys i probably shouldve added more details..

Ok.. Heres the story... Transaction took place on Craigslist..

So I had a blue color galaxy S3 and didnt like the color, traded it for a new nexus 4.. Nexus 4 was fine, and I was really wanting a titanium S3.. Found the S3 and bought it.. Sold the nexus 4 to a guy for 310.. The nexus 4 was working great until yesterday.. Guy calls me up thinking i sold him a stolen phone.. As far as I knew it was a good phone, i check the imei and it says its been reported stolen, so i offer to give the guy back his money.. Now im stuck with a blacklisted N4.. Need help. Anywhere I can go to revive the phone? Or anywhere I can sell it to? What are my options? Is it possible to flash a ROM or do something when rooted to change the Imei..? At least make it useable because the guy i originally traded with decided to change his number and now im out $310.. whats the best thing to do? I cant go to the cops, they will tell me im associated with the theft, asked tmobile they want to fill out a bull**** report..

is there a way to flash a Rom or something to maybe hide the Imei or something? Use a different carrier? unlock it even though its unlocked?

Or should i get my mini screw drivers and start to disassemble it to sell for parts? Man i feel ****ty doing this.. I mean im so against stolen things and i just hate to deal with it ugh

That's unfortunate
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unjustable:
Buy an N4 with broken screen for cheap and replace the mainboard. Installing other roms won't help you. Or replace the screen with your phones screen. Do wat is the easiest to replace.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abesgs2:
Cool, ive pulled apart phones before so im familiar.. So I can replace the motherboard with a good one and should be good? Ill give that a go

thanks cowboy

You can buy stuff off of CL, but you have to be smart. I've bought dozens of phones off CL (and sold) and was only burned once. I bought an Atrix 4G with a wonky touch screen. Actually, I bought an EVO 4G with a wonky touch screen too but that was just my fault, I showed up to meet the guy a little intoxicated lol. Anyway, when I bought my Nexus 4 (new) I had the guy bring the receipt from Google Play and give it to me. I also asked a lot of questions....

At least you have good karma for giving the guy his money back....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unjustable:
If it doesn't work u replace the screen and u should have a working phone too. ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Sorry to hear OP, I bought my N4 off CL and lucked out thankfully.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
Those are both rather silly remarks.

You're a victim, why would the police be anything but sympathetic to you? And it's not a bs report, it's a report detailing the crime. Maybe they can track the original scammer down with that report. Maybe your insurance co will reimburse you with that report. Don't lose whatever small chance you have by being too lazy to fill out some paperwork.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
You sure the dude just didn't "buy" the nexus 4 and then give you back a non working Nexus 4 and you give him his money back. Did the nexus you get back match up with the one you gave to him. Like serials and stuff
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
If this helps... I'm from Belgium and I bought my phone off someone from England.

Got a pretty good deal too (as it was new)

The catch was that it was blacklisted too...he sent me the reportcard and apparantly that stated that it was only blocked by 2 providers. None of which I am using.

So maybe switching providers could work OR since Belgium has no (or nearly no) providers linked to the phones as they don't come in deals the phone just works, blacklisted or not. So try selling it abroad and buy buy yourself a new one.

I doubt that you can unblock it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Is it blacklisted by T-mobile or Google? If it is blacklisted by T-mobile it should work on AT&T and it will definitely work overseas.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
No it won't as all the major US carriers started reporting to a national blacklist database as of October of 2012.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
The database is launched, but the carriers are not sharing IMEI's yet. Bad ESN Verizon phones work on other carriers and blocked T-mobile or AT&T phones will still work on the others network. The thing is, not only does the IMEI have to be entered into the database, but the carrier manually has to apply that to their own database to effectively block it from their network.

And, a blacklisted phone will most definitely work overseas.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUIETLYloud:
do the report... you may be able to have the phone you traded blacklisted after all the person you dealt with is the one that has committed a crime not you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I've read quite a few Nexus 4 threads of people getting blacklisted T-Mobile phones and have not heard any success stories of people getting them activated on another network. And you are correct there is still the option to sell it overseas for now. I guess the thing to do is to take it to AT&T and see if they can activate it or maybe try a Net10 AT&T sim and see if you can activate it as you'd only be out a few bucks if it can't.

And the way the database works is a carrier enters the IMEI into the new shared database, not their own separate network database, and carriers access this database automatically to check IMEI's when you try and activate on their network. So AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon don't enter anything into their own separate database. AT&T and T-Mobile are supposedly already using the database and Verizon and Sprint, as they don't use IMEI's will join by November of this year. And it will eventually be joined to the global blacklist so in a year or two a phone will be blacklisted globally. Its the FCC doing all this not the carriers and they want it fully up and running on all 4 networks by the end of the year.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abesgs2:
Lots of good feedback from everyone..

You know i went and spoke with a good friend who is in law enforcement, he said its risky to talk to the cops because they might pin you as suspect to buying knowingly stolen items..

went to tmobile.. filled out a report and they said whenever insurance replies..

might either just part it out or sell it internationally

Good topic for others who are inflicted
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
Did you know it was stolen when you bought it?

If no. then how does that part of the law effect you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Assuming non-world phones, what other carriers can you even put a bad ESN phone on?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underground_XI:
Get over it. Nothing you can do at this point. Not being rude, simply realistic. Either use it as an ipod or change carrier use att. Or sell it to somebody to use it overseas.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abesgs2:
Im well over it.. At the moment im juggling between those alternatives. Some folks who have ATT are offering to trade their unlocked phones for mine so I guess the next few days will prove the outcome..

Thanks everyone Ive learned alot from this
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underground_XI:
Yeah do the trade. Don't forget though, in a very near future att and tmobile will merge their imei databases and if your phone is blacllisted in ome carrier it will not work with the other carrier as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I am going off of the state of newer verizon phones. DNA, Galaxy S3 and S4, Iphone 5, Note II...they are all GSM unlocked..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanchitgrover:
Sent you a pm , i hope it would be helpful :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottx .:
I would just buy another motherboard and fix it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cenwesi:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Highly illegal
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george241312:

GuerillaROM for Asus Padfone 2​

PLEASE HIT THANKS IF YOU ENJOYED THIS ROM AND TO KEEP ME MOTIVATED!​

​
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
FAQ:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ziiHelmet:
This is good day to padfone 2 owners!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] [zozi]:
Thanks I will try soon as possible

Edit: we need run the scripts at the first time or they run automatically in first boot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DjBastard:
This weekend the install week!! XD

Thanks for the great job of creating a new ROM! ;)

Regards

PD: install the Rom, no wipes?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Thanks to the Init.d support you shouldn't need to if everything is working correctly. You can check /data/nos_injection/4cylturbo/engine. Theres the log files for turbonos so you should see problems there if something is not working correctly !

Hopefully this helped you !

No need to but it is recommended ! Just flash zip, wipe cache / dalvik cache , reboot and enjoy ! And ofcurse like always... Do a nandroid backup before flashing this ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] [zozi]:
We can update the nos when are new versions or is better wait updates from you?

I hope updates from you to get better and better roms...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Please wait for my update. Already working on it hopefully il get it up tomorrow.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] [zozi]:
And you will surprise with something new?

Ok I will wait, this weekend I want flash your room, I will do full wipe... :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
I have so many ideas but too little skills. I would really like to hear your ideas what you would like to have.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] [zozi]:
I have some ideas too but no skills too... Like advanced power menu it's one of them...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DjBastard:
Hello!

It would be nice to implement some mod to increase the quality and volume for padfone

And for the screen, know the Bravia mod? (luxury is XD)

The work is slow, but it is getting looooong!

Thanks to the small community we have :)

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Thank you for you kind words !

Indeed the work is slow but im working all sorts of stuff. For now I've added some build.prop tweaks for image quality, 3g tweaks, internet tweaks and raised the call volume steps from 5 to 14. Testing out some more init.d scripts. And actually thanks to ziiHelmet we will get some minor mods :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] liquidhead:
Great work!

Thanks for your awesome work.

Looking good on my Padfone 2 - however Google voice search stops working if you upgrade in Play Store (not sure if this is Rom related)

Having a few Bluetooth disconnection problems too which didn't have with standard rom.

I have modified the contacts provider.apk to enable Facebook contact syncing if you would like to include in your rom?

Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droidace:
Wanted feature

Any chance with killing an app by long pressing "back key"? :D

I know the improvement and features addition is quite a long list and I am in 100% appreciation of your efforts but this is a very commonly used mod and probably simple to integrate.

Going to install and try the ROM now

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Hopefully you didn't flash already since im uloading 0.3 right now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] [zozi]:
Thanks... Today I have to flash... Any flavor of changelog?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Yea soon as I get that daem dropbox working ! Gotta search for a better one and as I update the OP it's ready for flashing and il add changelog
[Miscellaneous Android Development] [zozi]:
Thy abelha.pt if the site are in English for you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
OP Updated... Finally sorry for the delay.

Suggest everyone get's terminal emulator or smanager to use nos scripts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
the white asus logo stays for about 1 minute. after that they gray logo is there but this stays forever.

possible to talk via g+ or something like that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
And you can't get into revovery with power button + volume down ? If so then that's something new for me2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
very strange. got in bootloader again.

pressing down+power => phone boots up until grey logo => keep volumn down pressed (whole the time) power off and on again => up in recovery

perhaps there is something wrong with my volume keys??

flashed the device many times and never had this problem.

now try to restore to an orginal rom and try again (perhaps tomorrow)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Not at all. I have faced that same problem too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
i hope to restor an old backup is enouth to have a running phone again.

i want to leave the office with a working phone because i have no possiblity to access the internet if i am out of office (i use my phones internet on my laptop too)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Could you tell me what apps were you trying to install before everything fell apart ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
does not seem to work. stuck on white logo since 10 minutes. what is the fastest way to get a working phone (just for tonight)

where can i find the orginal .img described in the second post so that i am able to restore with adb?

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

i hope i can tell you all of them.

tsf-shell,next launcher, padfone launcher switcher, kii keyboard, mysms, quando, bussines calendar, gmail, hangover, google+, external keyboard helper, bluetooth auto connect,

seems to have a problem to get driver installed on the pc of my company.

should this work:

wipe c/d

install stock kernel

wipe c/d

reboot in recovery

install rom from Lidenburg

wipe c/d

reboot

hope this works. i really need my phone at home.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

grrrrrrrrrrrr.

stuck at white logo again. and now???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
You have to start from scratch to get things back. Do the steps I provided in the question. You can find all the necessary stuff in the padfone 2 index thread.

I also have been working on a toolset for padfone 2 but still needs some testing. When I get back home I can upload it for you to use.

EDIT: hmm seems like the index thread doesn't contain the stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
back in the office.

now i have my notebook and an usb-stick to move files between the pc of my company and my notebook.

found the recovery.img and the boot.img on the padfoneclub site.

hope i get it running soon (i had todo some other stuff for the company ;) )

what can i do with the toolset? whats in it?

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

i have the drivers installed. the devicemanager shows "ASUS Android Bootloader Interface" but adb and fastboot are not able to find the device??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
It has everything. One click flash cwm or twrp, Root, backup apps, install mods and more !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
i have twrp running, i have a backup from the stock rom.

stone kernel, stock kernel, Lidenburg rom, and your rom are stored on my phone.

but i am not able to get it running. tried all combinations.

i sold my galaxy note last week so i have no backup phone atm :(

i do not understand why the fastboot commands are not working. i kwno that the drivers are correct because i rooted my phone using this notebook

i really hope you can point me out of this desaster

is there something like odin (used this to flash my samsnug devices) or anything else to flash a recovery the "hardcore-style"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
You have access to twpr ? You don't even need half of those :D Get the stock ROM from Asus site and ofc the right sku for it. One click root from paulobrien.

And the ROM your trying to get to.

Relax I will. I might be the guy who really knows 10000000 different ways to get bk to stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
how can i get the stock rom to my device? adb sideload => "no device found", fastboot => "waiting for device"

.... the rom from the update site can not be intalled with twrp

when i start adb sideload in twrp i have an A68 on my pcs devicemanager without drivers. which drivers do i need?

is there any posibility that we do not spam the thread? google, irc, skype or any other chat?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
I sen't you PM. First of all let me say your doing everything wrong.

If you would check the guide that I provided you would notice that you don't adb sideload anything. Just adb push "stock-rom-name-here".zip /cache, adb reboot bootloader, fastboot flash recovery "stock-recovery-name-here".img, fastboot boot "stock-recovery-name-here".img, navigate to apply update from cache and after that your phone reboots starts flashing the stock ROM, WALLA now your back at stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
after you teached me the right way i will do it "the good-way" ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Im trying. Did you get that PM I sen't you ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
you already got an answer
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Whaaaat ? I haven't gotten nothing :D

EDIT:LOL now I did
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
SiSSiDroid really is THE MAN.

he saved my phone from falling down from the 5. floor ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Tech support for Guerilla ROM is working :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Just a heads up for all you interested in this ROM. Next update coming up next week. Believe it or not it's getting almost too snappy !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tedbacc:
Aha, that last bit was the key. :good: I hadn't done that before (no idea that option even existed!).

That was the reason I was getting the White Logo hang... apologies, I just didn't know!!!

Alright, back to playing some more....;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
No problem, You were actually right too. It did state not to format system before so my apologies there too !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] valentijn_venus:
Awesome. What will you add to make it even more snappier?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Let's keep that a secret ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] valentijn_venus:
Sure :) send me a pm when you need a beta tester...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
OOOH 1st! Gonna send you one soon as I get most of the bugs fixed since I really need testers ! Thanks !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
I have to buy a failover phone to help testing. Atm i need this phone running. But i am shure i will test your Rom as soon as you upload it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deadkula:
hey, im having trouble getting 3g after upgrading to 0.5.8. i did go to phone settings and create a apn myself. and im sure the settings are correct. the previous version i had was 0.5.5 and i had no such problem. are any of u guys having the same issue?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
two additional things which would be really cool in your rom:

- Mulitwindow (i used this on my galaxy note and it is really cool. at least in tabletmode it would be a great feature)

- MVNO support (like cyanogen mod. so you configure settings for national network providers and providers from other coutries. this is really helpfull for those who life near the border)

have a look on this patches: https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=268

do you think it is possible?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
I hopefully will get that 3g working again in the next update, trying to fix the centerclock mod on the new firmware systemui.apk.

I have been looking into the Multiwindow part but everywhere I look I end up people saying that I need TW and it's really hard coded for sammy devices... If you find a better guide for me il give it a shot !

Other news... Bad news... My PC kinda broke down and I have to use my spare pc... So I gotta start everything from scratch but shouldn't take too long to get everything fixed ! Hopefully end of the week !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BPM:
as far as i know is this implemented in Paradroid for many devices:

As always - an outstanding job!

Any estimates on when the new release will be out (I am waiting as I fear the 3g issues on 0.5.8) ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] greatestandroidfan:
I definitely is!!! Trying v0.58 out hard now on A68 WWE. No issues for the moment. 3G is working just fine with 3-SIM (Hutchison).

Thank you for your great work!!!

And as mentioned in PM, let me know when you need mirror in Europe for the downloads.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] byung:
Finally finished reading all the pages~ :good:

I have a HK SKU PF2, can I flash this without changing it? Also, I would like to keep the Asus Reader, any flashable zip that I can download from somewhere to use with this ROM?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sphinxy:
Hi there. Thanks so much for spending time to build this!

I installed this yesterday and currently loving it, however the centre clock mod just doesn't do it for me.

Could you let me know how I can undo the centre clock and put it back to the side?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Tbh I haven't tested it. I think you should first change the SKU with a proper Asus firmware. Better ask someone who know's more then I do. I've always been at WWE. Il try to fix that Reader soon. I've been just very busy with my life...

I had to remove the centerclock mod and battermods due to 3G bugs on 0.6 witch I just uploaded ;)

OP UPDATED!

Sorry for so late update. Been very busy... and a broken PC didn't help me one bit... But now were back in action expect my APKtool is really screwed up ! Can't get the batterymod or the centerclock mod done for the latest firmware framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. Haven't tried flashing just those particular mods and see if there still working.

As for the ROM. I had to start all over so please read the changelog ! I didn't get to do everything I wanted due to failing APKtool so I can't compile them.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] sphinxy:
Thanks! I'm assuming it's still uploading? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
Yes :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sphinxy:
Thanks! Sorry last one. Can we flash without wiping? Or is it necessary?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SiSSiDroid:
I really would recommend it. As im the only one testing Im always doing a full wipe. So feel free to try. Just do a nandroid backup before.

It should just bootloop if it doesn't work and in the worst case it deletes ur /sdcard and you have to start all over :D

EDIT: Does anyone here use xposed framework on there device ? Just curious of maybe adding it to this ROM ? I personally just use it for xprivacy and greenify
