[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeLove70s:
Hey guys,

I went back to factory gingerbread on my i9000. The battery is back to being fantastic, unfortunately, it's insanely buggy. I want to move to CM7-10. big problem. Im using a few sim cards and lost one of them. One of the sims i lost was connected to whatsapp. Is it possible for me to use titanium backup to keep everything on whatsapp(including number use) once i've moved to CM7? , without having to use a code to activate it once more?

Thanks for any help.

Backup - Transfer Whatsapp number without a sim card

Here is the solution I found:

1) Backup your whatsapp with Titanium Backup

(I didn't have root so I used framaroot for rooting)

2) Install Titanium Backup on second phone

3) Make sure that there is a sim card on the second phone (It is for the first time. Then you can remove it)

4) Transfer Titanium Backup folder to second phone (I used Bump app to transfer)

5) Restore Whatsapp using Titanium Backup on the second phone

6) When whatsapp is installed, click on save, not open

7) Then it will ask to restore files, do it

8) DONE

9) I uninstalled Whatsapp from the first phone as if it caused a problem, I had no sim card to verify phone number. But if you wanna use on two or more phones, you can use the same method but not to uninstall from first phone. Try if it works and let everyone know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajaber:
Did anyone manage to try this? I read that whatsapp uses IMEI to verify? Does this mean if I change the IMEI on my phone, and restore the whatsapp using above method, it would work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamDevlopper:
Yeah its Possible BUT Remember

Be Connected to The Google Account when you registered at first time with Lost Sim Card

Be Connected to the Wifi When You Registered at the first time when you lost Your sim Card

Chances with this Will be more higher!!

Then YOu will Succesfully :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajaber:
Hahaha. I guess I have to give up...because,

1 - I was not connected to any gmail account (downloaded it from whatsapp.com - not play store)

2 - Wifi used was in a country 7000 kms away.

Thanks anyway for your suggestion!

I am trying to put a custom rom on my fiances T-Mobile HTC Sensation. Do all roms work on all carriers phones? My phone is a Galaxy S3 and I know if I put a rom from another carrier on it I will brick it.

Side question, will a custom rom fix the slow touch screen response from the sensation? She cant even answer calls because it appears to be so unresponsive when waking from lock.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
Yes, all ROMs from this forum works on the HTC sensation/sensation 4g/sensation XE no matter what carrier you have. You need to unlock the bootloader first or s-off the device before installing custom ROMs.

Here's info/directions on s-off: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26280760

I can't remember the link to rooting your device, but there's hundreds of articles on the internet on how to flash roms/root and that good stuff.

After you obtain root, I suggest this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37121632

It's based on android 4.2.2 and it's crazy smooth and responsive. Just make sure you read the link carefully and follow all the instructions.

Never ever flash a ROM for a different phone than what the ROM lists (ie. Don't flash a SGSIII ROM on a sensation. It will probably hard brick the phone)

Did you clean install the ROM? I would reboot the phone because it will take a few reboots for the phone to get used to.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Darthdiddy:
Ok i am trying to prep my KF2 for custom rom install and can't find any rooting method for 6.3.2. So i tried to update to the latest stock software on the KF2 and nothing work, sync for over the air wifi and manual nothing takes. I reset to factory clean and still won't take best i get is the update button will light up once i place the update on the kindle but all it does it start to update then deletes the file from itself! KFU is only for first gen and will brick my device, can't install ADB drivers and wouldn't matter if i did at this point for 6.3.2 on the KF2 has no option to enable such feature. About all i have done was install the SDK for android provided in the KF2 root forums. I am totally new to this and want to rid myself of amazon rom and its limitations so any help on how to root 6.3.2 on a second gen kindle fire would be greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
There is no 6.3.2 for the kf2.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Darthdiddy:
Ah that's possible since i only googled the model number and it came up with second gens not like it was solid research lol. Thanks i will look deeper then proceed with KFU :)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Darthdiddy:
Seems i can't install the drivers provided with KF utility running win8 x64
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
You have to boot up in unsigned driver mode and install the drivers manually through device manager

Just be careful. Make sure you only follow directions in the first gen forums. The model number is the same for first and second generation, but the device is way different. You can always tell which one you have by the software version.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droid_<3er:
Hey everyone,

I do not roam in this forum, ever. As you might see I don't have an EVO LTE, as much as I would want to.

Here's the thing. I want to see if I can get a good condition EVO LTE to hold me off for 6 months to a year so I can use my Desire for testing ROMs only. It would have been easy except for 2 things: a) I am in Canada so I have to ask TELUS whether it will work on their network; b) it's a CDMA phone. TELUS has CDMA network, which may help.

So I got an email back from TELUS support pointing me to this page http://mobility.telus.com/en/BC/phones-and-devices/devicecompatibility.shtml?eVar6=link. He asked me to input an IMEI and that would see whether it is compatible with the TELUS network.

So I'm trying to find an EVO LTE IMEI, but... I'm almost afraid to ask, but can someone point me in the direction of one? Is the IMEI an extremely, extremely private thing? The kind of thing that if it falls into the wrong hands, it can wreck your phone? Because this would help me greatly, but if it's supposed to be private and secure like that, then I'm fine without.

Sorry if I sound like a noob, I've just never had to deal with the serials and IMEIs except in S-OFFing my Desire, during which you have to provide a serial number (I practically have it memorized by now).

Thanks guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
Your IMEI is extremely sensitive information. someone who gets it can mark it lost or stolen and literally make your phone a brick. on top of that they could switch it to their account ( fake person ) and make an claim for it being lost. i sell cellphones for a living and many people try that. do not give it out unless your on the phone with legit customer service.

Plus that link has no https:// secure on it. i wouldnt trust it.

IMEI is private and you shouldnt have one less you own the device...

You do realize that the quality of the architecture on a SoC determines how fast it will be? Clock frequency hardly matters in that respect. Its the reason why a Cortex-A15 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz trumps the 1.9 GHz Krait in almost all major benchmarking platforms.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Hi2gav:
To all you geniuses that may read this, please help. I've had my XDA 2 for about 4 months. It is O2 Branded but i run an orange SIM card. Having learnt many things from this superb forum i have discovered that usually the answer is to be found. Unfortunately I am worried this time that it may be beyond my skills, and would love any suggestions.

I have had zero problems with the device even through ROM upgrade and unlocking etc. However for some reason from today my speaker works as normal for voice calls even when on loudspeaker mode, yet makes only a slightly muffled click when asked to perform any other sound be it MP3 in the media player, ringtone or simple screen tap. Also i have never even opened the little flap on the headphone jack port. My first thought was defective hardware but if this is so why does it still work on calls (thank god!!)?

I have attempted a hard reset, but no luck it remains the same before and after the restoration of my backup file. Still the same. And obviously i have checked all the settings which are as normal (cos i never changed anything).

I have unfortunately no support as i did not purchase the device through a network, and have since unlocked it anyway.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you think you can offer a solution in whole or in part, I will love you forever!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Hi2gav:
The Specs

Sorry forgot to give you all my device details so here they are:

ExtROM: 1.60.50
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
Does it make the normal sounds after a hard reset but BEFORE restoring your backup image?

This kind of intermittent/inconsistent problem is almost always related to installed software or file corruption. The only way to be sure is to HR, then test - if the problem is gone, reload your software (one program at a time and test after each installation) to see if the problem reappears. If it does not, it was most likely file corruption, if it does, you'll know which program is the culprit.

HTH!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Hi2gav:
Thanks for your quick reply BR,

Did try the sound after the hard reset and before the restore and it was still bad, which worries me as it points further towards hardware fault. The noise it makes is like a feint click as if maybe there was a loose connection you know? Frightened to take it apart as unsure if it will make a difference (remember the loudspeaker still works?) and dont really want to risk it.

Any further suggestions - i'm gutted :cry:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joeym11:
I cannot find the return to stock. How do I do it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: return to stock

Easy and sure way to return your phone to stock condition: Here is the step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will be in stock condition

as it was the day you have purchased it.

Download the stock Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.1 T999 firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22940013536739731

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file

Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!

Hold both Volume buttons and power button. Should get a menu go to fastboot. Plug phone in computer use fastboot commands to push new rom files. As long as it sees the device which is does since it lists something. Google and xda are your friends.
[General Questions and Answers] Neofyte:
Thanks for the reply, Mikey.

I can get into the bootloader menu no problem. And both fastboot and PDL will work, sort of. But I think because the phone is still locked, and usb debugging was never turned on, it's not allowing me to do much. I've talked with Pantech, but so far no joy. If there were a PDL tool for the Flex that could work around debugging being off, or even turn it on, that'd be great, I could recover. But I can't unlock the phone with fastboot, and adb commands can't do anything without debugging on. The phone is still so new, maybe I'll just have to hang out a while until someone with much more experience has the same problem and solves it.
[General Questions and Answers] mikey199:
Oh i see. Doesn't sound good. Sounds like it just comes up a generic Qualcomm device which i don't think there are any programs to work with it. Try asking the pantech burst community they made great strides with there device. Phones are similar just ours is a better upgraded version. Sorry i can't be of much help.
