[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] causticfix:
I actually have octopus box as well as the z3x samsung tool installed, however, they're both server activation based...the software is useless without an $89 (octopus) to $120( (z3x) activation.

I'd rather not spend that kind of money for something I'll likely only need once, so I'm gonna do as much as I can in the way of free solutions, and if I have no luck there I'll probably just send it to mobiletechvideos for their $40 efs/imei repair. I'm guessing they use one or more of these repair box programs themselves anyway, and will do the same job for only $40.

thanks for the suggestion anyway though..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
There's this polish guy who probably also has all the same boxes and he takes €10 for imei repair by remote desktop.

And finally you could try helping the op of this thread to add compatibility for skyrocket, this would be free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vgkiller:
Isn't there any way to fix my imei on my own ?

Mt efs folder also looks good now with all the files it should have but still the imei remains unaffected.

Also i'd like to know that the qualcom nv tool showed my esn as dead and mied as 000....000 does the dead thing mean it isnt repairable ?

I tried using QPTS but this is where I get stuck.. (img attatched)

Obviously there is since some random polack can do it for you on his PC, the problem is the lack of knowledge.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vgkiller:
This totally defeats the purpose of this forum then. Its sad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
People want money for it because it's mostly used for making stolen phones work again.

That means real life risks like fines, jail etc.

Of course there are lots of examples when people experiment with this or that and delete their imei accidentally, or want to change the imei for some other reason. But these are more rare.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] causticfix:
An update...

I managed to finally get flashed to stock...still null/null imei & baseband unknown. Efs folder is still there with files, keystr file is on...not sure what else I can do myself at this point so, I guess its time for the Polish dude or mobiletechvideos.

Hi People,

Did any1 found any solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] causticfix:
unfortunately not for me. I finally got the polish dude to try restoring the imei remotely...he used like 3 or 4 different programs, nothing worked.

so, i just got a broken SR with a cracked lcd off ebay for $50 and used the motherboard from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] talk2sharn:
Ohkies.

Did you ask the polish guy about the reason why he was not able to fix your mobile. Coz, I'm just having similar problem like yours. I tried working with all the local samsung service centre guys, nothing worked. One guy said that my mobile IMEI is locked in some database:eek:, so it is not picking or detecting my SIM, hence locked. I know that my mobile is unlocked and is valid, I ignored his comments. :cool:

I assume you changed your MotherBoard of the mobile with the new cracked SR's, so that it could take new IMEI instilled in new board:D. Is it so?

Also, please suggest me about any alternatives on how to fix this problem.:crying:

You have a stolen blacklisted phone.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
Okay... So where to start? Alright, so I got this phone in December. I unlocked it and used it up until February... Like every phone I've ever had (this being the first Motorola phone though), I unlocked it and rooted it. I didn't think anything would go wrong, as long as I didn't **** up (software-wise). So the warranty was never a big deal. Never was. Until in February, my screen went black and wouldn't come back on. I could hear the sound from my boot logo, aswell as notifications once on... So I decided, it must be the LCD. So I bought a new LCD, installed it and turned it on to no avail. I figured it might be a faulty LCD, so I returned it and got a new one a week later. I installed that one, and once again, same issue. So finally, after being stumped for another week, I took it into a phone shop for a 'free diagnosis'. They examined it for about 3 weeks and determined it was a cable (the one that connects to the keyboard)... It was ripped, but it was so small that they had to use a microscope to see it. So I bought another Photon Q with a cracked screen for parts. Tonight, I just put in the cable from the Photon Q I just bought... I should mention, the first time I took my Q apart, I broke the digitizer... yeahh.... So, after buying the new digitizer I've spent about $150 TOPS repairing this phone (including buying the wrong part for it and foolishly breaking the digitizer). That's how much sprint would have charged me for the repair anyways, and I'd have gotten a refurbished phone to boot.

SO, my point here is - **** the warranty. It's too damn expensive to be paying for every month, then have to pay an extra $150 on top of that for a replacement. Sure it CAN be faster and more convenient (I spent money on parts and stuff as I got it, I didn't have it all at once so it took me a little while), but you can always figure things out for yourself. This is the first phone I've ever taken apart, and everything ended up being a flawless success doing it myself. So, if your phone's LCD burns out (or so it seems), don't give up hope. Oh, and my other point is... I have an extra brand new LCD I don't need, that I'd sell for $20 (half of what you'll find it for anywhere else) if you're interested haha. Also, I'm interested in buying another keyboard cable so I can finish assembly of this second Q I have here... Just for ****s and giggles :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] spyderkoz:
You do know in ever post it says this will void you warranty and tech at actual phone stores won't work on them... once your device is unlock and root you device your on your own or you have to go through your insurances.... I know this cause its what I do for a living....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
I'm completely aware of that. I've been rooting phones for year. My point is, that this was my first Motorola phone, also the first time I've had to 'unlock' the bootloader of a phone. Before, all I had to do is unroot it if I wanted Sprint to look at it.

Hi

Press power, soft reset and jog button simultaneoussly, yiu will go to bootloader. Now run rom 1.66 or launch rom of O2. It will re-write your rom afresh. It will take about 1 to 1&1/2 hr to complete the cycle.

[Galaxy S 4 General] stijndebruin:
My name is Stijn I'm from Holland and this is my second Android phone. Before i bought my s4 I had a HTC desire. I had the desire for three years after it started to act up when getting hot. Found out this was a hardware defect and decided to buy the s4. I havev the i9505 with the snapdragon soc.

First of I was a bit disappointed about the smoothness of the phone. Animations where not all that smooth and I experienced lag using the phone in general. I was surprised however about the possibilities It presented out of the box. The video player for example has the option to play content on your smart tv . This worked great for me. I like the keyboard, the toggles in the drop down notification panel, and was not as bothered with touch wiz as I expected to be coming from CM on my desire. Also the watchon app that can act as a remote for your tv is cool.

So when opting for a custom rom I chose a stock based rom. Omega v3 was the one I went for.

It simple enough to flash when you follow instructions, but a bit of a hassle as you have to flash a stock firmware first. Lots to download!

Strait after flashing i noticed a big difference. Almost all lag was gone. Then I desided to flash a custom kernel. I went for fauxes as I used his kernel on my n7 and liked it.

After this I had the phone I wanted all along performance wise. No lag and blazing fast. Both the rom and kernel allow you a lot of tweak lots of stuff to make it act the way you want to. Worth mentioning is the app omega files that comes with the rom. It was updated yesterday and it gives you lots of freedom to change anything in the rom, from themes and mods to actual kernels that are compatible with the rom. Great stuff!

I also installed the 3 minit framework mod found in the android dev section. Man this app is great. It let's you change a lot of ui components on the fly with a well designed app that comes with the mod. Things like statusbar color, icons and many more are now under my control. And the dev is expanding the mod as we speak. You can make feature requests in the corresponding thread and they are implemented really quickly. Keep it UP Gharrington!

Also installed an app from the market wich allows for every app to be runned in multi Window mode. Nice.

I also bought the samsung mhl cable . It works great but the fact by our can't turn the screen of the phone of while it's displaying your android on the TV is annoying. Of course there is a root app that gives you this possibility. Yey to root.

Things I would like to test are miracast or allshare wireless screen mirroring and the dock with hdmi and usb ports.

Let me know what your experience is with your custom or stock rom and what you do with your phone.

Hi there, seems i got a quite strange problem here.

I'm on a CM10.1 nightly rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2099499) and today I accidentally discoverd that the play store dont display my installed app any more, which was fine last week(i did an update of some apps that time, not related to play store services), like the screenshot showed only two buttons left there. And I tried unstalled and reinstalled one of the app(gps test), and it told me that "this app was not installed by google play store". After the reinstallation the app showed up in the "installed app" section this time.

I check all my apps in the phone with "pm list -3 -i" to see if the installer is wrong(i installed all my 3rd party apps with airdroid last time i flashed the rom, and the apks, which were downloaded from play, were pulled from the phone itself). i found out that the values of installer attribute of apps i update last week were "com.android.vending"(for instance greenify), while others wre just "null". But the strange thing is that neither of them showed up in the "installed app" section.

I guess this has something to do with google's recent policy change for not allowing non-play-installed app to be updated through play store. But i just wonder what exactly happened to my device and if there is a solution to it without reinstalling every app. Thank you very much!

EDIT: the web version of google play don't show my apps, either.

Most capable of the ics seems to be Andromeda by Marius.a, has few problems...

Some apps won't install, very selectively, sometimes older versions work while newer give back errors, sometimes the other way round.

Calendar sync is broken

smartass v2 is absent from kernel so I'm using interactive.

With force 2d acceleration Google apps force close, but only gapps.

Other than that everything else seems to work. GPS, camera, camcorder, Bluetooth, notification led, USB storage, didn't try tethering but I suppose it will only work with external app in any other ROM not being gb.

Doesn't give me trouble such as rebooting or deep sleep of death.

Well for me that is not much as a tradeoff for such good performance.

About v6, I don't have much experience with it, I'm only using it in 50%, no bulletproof launcher and no services.jar patching. It helps me having more cards open in browser and switching tasks without reloading my most used apps. It really is regressive with time?
