[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wackydroid:
Awesome, Wiley, thanks.... I usually don't like videos as they're dependent on the "narrator's" personality/talents, but these are prolific so I'll have to check them out.

I would still like a "User's Guide" or a "Tips and Tricks" manual assembled by (hopefully) XDA Members. On the EVO 4G, we had such an immense, awesome community of "Myn-ions" (revolving around the Developer MYN who wrote the 2 best ROMs - Warm and Synergy) there were a few of those, in addition to the MOST resourceful community one could hope for. There was never a single thing you couldn't learn from someone and the exchange of ideas and information was a constant thing.

I learned how to theme, develop ROMs, tweak, etc from them all while usually laughing my ass off...

I'm hoping, since the Note 2 is so popular, I'll find that "community spirit" in this group!

:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
it'll be popular, but I think the S3 or S4 series will be more. It's cheaper. Luckily, there are quite a few similarities, so you can definitely learn a few new ideas

As a side note, I think you probably have a solid ground work. Sounds to me you need to learn more about Touchwiz if you're going to build from the stock rom. I don't think Samsung has released anything much on the Spen to be able port more of it's functions into an AOSP. There is the SDK for it, but I assume it's Touchwiz based. It's possible the feature beyond the the basic touch commands could be built into the framework.

Hi guys. I'm brazilian and i've updated my RAZRi (with the ROM of TIM carrier) for the 4.1.2 Android version via OTA. But, the battery consumption is very high. This could be related to the carrier's ROM? Can i install a RETAIL ROM on my phone running 982.50.23005.XT980.TIM.en.BR?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falster:
Try a factory reset and disable google now
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacobahyba:
Hey man, I came from TIM ROM into RETAIL and never saw much difference related to battery consumption. As long as you got your bootloader unlocked, you can always change ROMs, let me know if you need help on it! :)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dara85:
The bootloader does not have to be unlock to use RSD and flash XML files with it but do not flash older version than your system is currently on.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacobahyba:
Yes, for some weird reason I was under the impression wanted to go to a modded ROM, My mistake :)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goxroub:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aroranirav2:
currently i have samsung galaxy note 2 but it hassles me a lot hence i am considering to order htc one 64gb version from at&t carrier but the problem is as i am in india, i want to sim unlock it, is there anyway to unlock it straightaway or it will make me wait for 90 days to get unlock code from at&t? if it is so i will consider buying developer edition...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] salwansk:
there are two ways.....if u have a contract with att and u have been a good customer, they will unlock it for you by calling customer service.... i have five lines and i signed the contract with att on Apr 28 2013 and i called on May 22 13 asked them about unlock codes. the customer service guy just gave me the five lines codes "i don't know if i was lucky or that was normal"....... otherwise you can buy the unlock code from ebay for $6 or so...... or buy the phone directly unlocked from HTC
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Newcron:
First of all, by definition, you can't 'factory unlock' something that comes out of the factory as 'locked'. So the answer to your title is 'No'.

Now, I understand what you actually wanted to do (sim unlock a factory locked phone), so:

If you look one sub-forum up at AT&T HTC One General, there is a thread discussing the different ways to get the unlock code for an AT&T locked HTC One. This includes buying it on eBay, other places where you can pay for an unlock code, and also calling AT&T directly.

Having said that, why do you want the AT&T version of the One? Why don't you just go to HTC website and buy the phone directly? It's unlocked and unbranded and you don't have to bother dealing with AT&T. Furthermore, if you are in India and not an AT&T customer, do you realize how difficult it is to buy a phone without actually having an AT&T postpaid account? It's not impossible, but it's not easy. I know this because I experienced this myself.

Hey guys, im currently using claudly cwm and i want to switch to nexus prime twrp.

So how can i delete the cwm i currently have and install twrp instead?
[HTC Desire X] tsx777:
just flash it over cwm. There is no need to uninstall it
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Just the way you flashed cwm by clauddy,

download my twrp recovery.img.

Use the command fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img (<--- my file)

and then reboot in recovery.

[HTC Desire X] w1040:
how to enter flashboot again?

im sorry its been a while i didnt do this kind of stuff :p
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
If you have your phone turned on and USB debugging enabled, just issue the command

adb reboot bootloader

to boot directly to fastboot.
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
How and where do i issue the command?

Please dont flame me.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
No problem. You have to open a terminal and go to the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are. There you just type adb.exe reboot bootloader
[HTC Desire X] hell_lock:
adb reboot bootloader

Go in fast boot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
The adb reboot bootloader will go directly to fastboot, at least for me...
[HTC Desire X] gbueno6:
That's right. Once you type adb reboot bootloader, wait a few seconds to restart, do not select nothing else and just type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and reboot when it's finished.

[HTC Desire X] w1040:
from where do i type the command such as adb reboot-bootloader and fastboot flash recovery c:\recoveryname.img??? :confused::confused::confused:

do i type it from cmd or something? im confused.

i already in fastboot i guess by pressing volum down button when phone restarts
[HTC Desire X] hcdav:
in the same folder that you have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and your recovery.img, SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on an empty space and choose 'Open command window here'

From here, making sure your device is in fastboot mode, type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
do i need my usb debugging to be on?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
You need to be on fastboot mode (Reboot->Vol- & Power->Go on fastboot)

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
ah.. nvm guys finally it worked. i already switched recovery from cwm to twrp.

thank you all :D:D:D

so here is what i should do since beginning

1. put your recovery.img file to where adb.exe and fastboot.exe located

2. connect phone to pc

3. hold power button and choose restart then wait till all buttons and screen goes off

4. hold down volume down button

5. select fastboot

6. shift+recovery on where adb.exe and fastboot.exe located to open cmd

7. then just type this command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img " and press enter

8. done

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dainfamous:
I'm on the DARTHSTALKER S4 rom and i love it. Tethering works perfectly fine but when i use the mobile hotspot. I check my T Mobile account and it shows that I've been using the hotspot. Once I got to 400 MB T Mobile sent me a message to upgrade if i wanted to tether. Is there any way I can tether without being caught?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Change your User Agent string on your computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kanyewest:
how come i dont have that hotspot section in my app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] electricjelly:
I dont have ot either. I installed mine off of the play store. I would like to figure out how to check my hotspot usage to help me figure out a work around
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech7:
Use Chrome browser
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] electricjelly:
Thanks for the suggestion

I just tried that. They still dont include hotspot usage. Very strange. I searched around on the websit from the pc for a while also. Cant find it any where.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
That means that you don't have a tethering plan. If you can tether w/o the tethering plan then you should be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Razzzzer:
i think alot of the plans come with Tethering (but limited to the amount of data you get before throttling). Only one of the new plans (unlimited data) didnt have tethering built in in my recollection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shane1diamond:
in addition to the already mentioned. i read in other threads that you need to use the toggle from the pulldown menu to activate hotspot, otherwise you get the upgrade screen. personally ive always only used the toggle from the pulldown to activate my tether and never received the upgrade screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kanyewest:
I have an unlimited plan that includes tethering and i dont get that hotspot section in my app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackknightavalon:
CM 10.1's native tethering app runs with no problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] geomatiq:
no problem meaning that tmobile doesnt notice that you tether?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackknightavalon:
No, they don't notice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
If you are on the unlimited plan, or any plan that does NOT have tethering included, you will be noticed. You have a grace data allotment of i believe 200MB then you are shut off. There are ways around it and Google will tell you those ways :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lojak29:
Why is everyone so concerned....

Theres a well known root tether setup for all galaxys called "trevemod tether" with a tutorial in the general sectio for many phones also requires using hot spot shield vpn app .So tether plan or not , you can get away with tethering the data u pay for to any device...

It hides and blocks what u tether to, thus making tmo think your just using a whole lot of extra bandwidth on your device

ROOT is required.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcbofkc:
Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else get irritated by people that want to steal bandwidth? Someone has to pay. Maybe people should pay for the features they desire.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ImLazyOne:
Thanks

Thanks for the info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rryanosman:
Absolutely... I'll make a reasonable effort to be reasonable... I called them and asked to pay for tethering to go with my unlimited data plan... so I can watch some netflix on my phone when I'm away on business. I figured an extra $30 would be fair. They don't offer anything like that... although... they charge $10/MB for roaming data in Canada, so... I won't die of guilt.

Besides, as I'm fond of saying... we can't all beat the system heh heh! :laugh::laugh::laugh: You're right... someone has to pay. Someone not smart enough to figure out how to get a discount. peace bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
uhhh we already pay for the data service and the hardware and the os which has it built in. there's nothing to feel bad about. I've used 70gb data in a month with sprint and they didn't complain

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ytka98:
Hello, I have Galaxy SII, SGH-I777 w/AT&T. When i turn on the phone i get black screen that says "Samsung Galaxy SII". I can't get passed this screen. The only other thing i could do is hold up/down volume & power button that takes me to a screen where i'm giving 2 options, continue or cancel. Click cancel, i'm back at black screen. Click continue it takes me to "ODIN MODE" and says downloading. No clue what it's downloading but it's stuck at this screen now. I'm not very techy w/phones, not sure if there's a simple solution. Phone is factory OS, i never installed anything outside of what AT&T pushed through software upgrades. Please help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
When you press continue and get the screen that says downloading, your phone is in download mode, which means it is ready to receive new firmware via Odin. Since all you can get is either download mode or the black screen when you use the button combination that should take you to recovery, that means that the firmware has become corrupt in some way. The only way to fix this is to re-flash the stock firmware using Odin. Please read through some of the guides that are linked in my signature. That should give you enough basic information to flash back to stock. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to ask them here.

Seems like i can't even get it to to flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Since you are running stock ROM & kernel, if you've ever performed a factory reset or wipe on your phone then you may have an emmc superbrick on your hands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ytka98:
Sorry, i'm not very savvy with the tech language, what does this emmc superbrick mean? Is my phone done and i should get a new one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What AJ Newkirk says is a possibility, but not definite. If the phone does have damage to the emmc memory, then yes, you would probably have to get a new phone. I only ever saw two reports of emmc memory damage reported here, and only one of them was even close to conclusive, so the likelihood that your phone has some other issue is quite good.

Do you know what version was currently on the phone? The latest version pushed out by AT&T is 4.0.4 (UCLL6). Also, did you ever perform a wipe data/factory reset at any time? And finally, please describe the circumstances surrounding the phone's failure to boot. We'll try to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ytka98:
Thanks this helps! I want to say i had the latest version, to be honest i don't recall but deferentially 4.something. I did a factory wipe a few months ago and then restored back up from Klies. I really don't know how/why it failed, i was charging it and texting infrequently. at some point i looked at the phone and saw the black screen. that was pretty much the end of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you were flashing the UCKH7 downloaded from that guide, try flashing the latest 4.0.4 firmware instead. You can get it from the download repository.

Also, after you open Odin on your desktop, enter download mode the usual way: with the phone off, hold down vol+ and vol- (but not power) while plugging in the usb cable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Yes, but it appears that you may have Nand read/write corruption. (Not actual physical damage to the memory, but just corruption that needs to be reflashed.)

Here are the steps:

1) Flash kernel as PDA in Odin.

2) Flash the full stock package again as PDA in Odin.

If that is not successful then:

3) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning.

4) Flash kernel as PDA in Odin.

5) Flash the full stock package again as PDA in Odin.

I believe you can flash either a custom kernel or the stock kernel to clear the nand r/w corruption, but the problem is there are not many kernels packaged as tar available. I don't know whether flashing a Gingerbread kernel and then coming back with the ICS stock will clear the problem, but since the only kernel tar I know of is Gingerbread, why don't you try that first. If that doesn't work, I can package up an ICS kernel for you to use, but you'll need to be patient since I am pretty busy right now.

Download the Siyah 2.6.14 Gingerbread Kernel. From the line that says download, choose the TAR version. Flash that is step 1 and then the UCLL6 tar md5 package you used before in step 2.
