That's what I thought I read elsewhere
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
what he said above. TMO versions can pick up 3G AWS since most of their network is on that band. ATT doesnt use that band only 1900 for 3G, but since TMO has only started refarming old 2G 1900mhz signal to 3G signal only certain places will recieve 3G signal for TMO on the ATT HTC one.

So far i havent heard of anyone breaking into the radio portions and adjusting the bands. i think people are still a bit sketchy on whether that will work or not. its a pretty big gamble.

your best option is maybe find someone who has the TMO version and wants an international version. and trade?

[General Questions and Answers] npainter7:
Hey everyone I have a couple questions that I need answered if possible. My in-laws are moving to China in August. They have Verizon right now but are gonna put their account on hold since global costs to much. When they move over there they will be just getting SIM cards and new phones. My mother in law wants to know how much an iPhone would cost her there? I'm pretty sure she doesn't want any other phone Lol. We googled about how much in China it would cost, but couldn't find any good info. I know I could just Google everything ya ya I know this Lol. I just know this is a great place to ask questions about phone stuff. My father in law will have an android phone, not sure which one just yet.....I'm basically asking someone who has had to do this before or knows about any of this. Or if there are smarter options for them that is the cheapest bet or whatever, that would be great. I'd really appreciate it if someone could take a couple mins to help me out. It would be a huge blessing....thanks!!!

Ya I'm not sure. I think she told me she can use her iPhone there. It just needs to be unlocked or something. That's why I'm asking about all of this lol
[General Questions and Answers] kodiak211:
Being that she is on Verizon here in the states, she can't unlock her current phone... Verizon and Sprint are on CDMA networks, the phone on these networks can't be unlocked... Now At&t and T-Mobile, they can... Any GSM network phone can be unlocked... At&t well unlock your phone, if you want it to be unlocked after your contracts up... I'm sure their not tech savvy, even with a unlocked phone, there's some tweaking you got to do, to the settings to get everything to work on any particular carrier... So you might have to help them with that, if they get a unlocked phone... Maybe what you might want to do is, figure out what carrier their thinking of using there, then search for phones on eBay, Amazon, and other smartphone selling websites...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Hi guys,

My Nexus 7 is 3G (Mobile). However when I view System Information in the Quadrant, it says my Nexus 7 is Grouper (Board: grouper, Hardware: grouper, as in the attached screenshot). So what is the problem? I think it shoud be Tilapia instead?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
It's the same board with a HSPA module soldered on I think.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, vndnguyen...

Yep... It should be 'Tilapia', if you have a 3G Nexus 7.

I have to say, this is the oddest screenshot I think I've ever seen:confused:.

You appear to have a Nexus 7 that is a hybrid of 'grouper/tilapia'... 'nakasi/nakasig'... as your screenshot contains references to both!

On the one hand, Quadrant declares the board to be 'grouper', but this is contradicted by the 'Fingerprint', which is reported as...

'google/nakasig/tilapia:4.3/JWR66Y/776638:user/release-keys'... which is correct for a 3G Nexus 7.

For comparison, see my equivalent Quadrant screenshot, taken on my 'grouper' Nexus 7 at the end of this post.

It's possible Quadrant could be misreporting spurious info; have you tried running alternative diagnostic apps, like

Device Info

or

System Panel Lite

(Press Menu, then Dev Info). If both these apps report the same self-contradictory (and clearly wrong) information, then there is definitely some strange weirdness going on somewhere.

I assume (because you haven't mentioned it), your Nexus 7 works fine in all other regards, despite this peculiarity?

The only thing I can think of to explain this oddity, is that your /system/build.prop, has become corrupted (although I can't envisage how this could occur), as I think this is where diagnostic apps (like Quadrant, Dev Info, System Panel Lite, etc), get their info.

Rgrds,

Ged.

Ahh, interesting... didn't know that was possible. But it makes more sense than my convoluted explanation about a corrupt build.prop:(.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
[MENTION=5049483]GedBlake[/MENTION]: thank you so much for your detailed response.

My N7 uses stock rom + stock recovery. I've only rooted it, no more any modification in the system.

BTW, I've checked in the bootloader and it says tilapia.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi again, vndnguyen...

Well, that is a bit of a mystery then... if the bootloader is reporting 'tilapia', then that's unarguable, because the bootloader is in a self-contained partition, and has nothing to do with build.prop. Your 'tilapia' Nexus 7 should also have a BASEBAND VERSION number referenced in the bootloader. For tolerably obvious reasons, 'grouper' has no such line.

But all the other reported values in your screenshot are to be found in build.prop.

As I've mentioned previously, I'm pretty sure that diagnostic apps like Quadrant get their information from build.prop... so I'd recommend you use a root capable file manager and directly examine the contents of /system/build.prop yourself.

Make a copy of it somewhere on your internal storage, rename it to build.prop.txt, and then use something like

Jota Text Editor

to examine it's contents. This obviates the risk of inadvertantly changing something in the original by accident.

Again, for comparisons sake, here is my 'grouper' build.prop...

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37483979/build.prop.txt

Hope this helps...

Rgrds,

Ged.

[MENTION=5049483]GedBlake[/MENTION]: again thank you for your informative answer.

I think this is normal and not a mystery, because I have a N7 3G version so the bootloader should say tilapia. As in the [MENTION=5079944]jkkk88[/MENTION] build.prop, the device and product are both tilapia, but the board is grouper. The fingerprint also nakasig/tilapia, as mine.

I'm just starting to get into the depths of my PDA2K and this site is GREAT!!!!!!! Since I'm just one step up from "The Village Idiot", I have a couple questions for all you pros.

After reading about using the extended ROM, and unlocking it and seeing what's in there, I think I've figured it out. Whatever CABs are listed in the config file will be installed upon a hard reset....correct? If true, and since I have only 3.5MB left in Ex ROM, can I put the other CABs I wanted installed in say /storage/CABs, list them in the config file and upon a hard reset they will be installed? Is there any reason to put them into Extended ROM rather than Storage? Is it alright to put CABs in from like games, Resco Explorer, WebIS Mail, etc.? Lastly is there a way to set the programs up where I don't have to go back and enter all the registration numbers again?

Thanks a ton for your help!!!

Tom

In extended rom they are not taking up your precious storage space on the device.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sunish:
is it possible then to keep the installation cabs on storage card,

and also, can that path be set in the config file in ext rom?

what happens if a particular cab is not found after hard reset?

is the installation stuck or it just gives a warning and keeps on going to the next cab listed in the list.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Have a read of this

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=83119#83119

It might be a bit to deep but should help you along the way.

1) You can keep a cab anywere you want

2) make sure your cab is read only as it can delete itsself after install.

3) to run a auto install from a differnet storage place you need to hack the reg (see thread).

In all if you have a sd card you could leave your EXt rom empty.

Hack the reg to the new postion and run the Autorun from there.

Have fun

Thanks for all the infor everyone! From what I've read in other threads I need to make sure that TPdisabled is set to off so that when programs like WebIS Mail and SplashID get installed I can touch the screen to make sure they install into the right place and other things. Correct? If this is correct, should I just remove TPdisabled all together?

Thanks again,

MDAIIIUser - Thanks for the link! I looked at it and you're right, it's pretty indepth and I'll have to read it more closely at a later time....like at work.

Question1: leochan2005 had a follow-up saying "why not use backup"? While I agree this would be easier, I'm assuming that by using your method one would get a much "cleaner" install than backing up all the crap that was on the system prior to the hard reset...correct?

Question2: It took me a long time to get my TMo settings setup on my PDA2K and I don't want to go thru that again. Is there a way to backup those settings so that they can be auto-configured at a later time? I read about making a personalsettings.CAB but haven't done it yet.

Thanks,

Tom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] twn2:
Thanks! I take it it should be at the beginning of the config file so that I can access it. Correct?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
q1)

Well the short of "why not use backup" is you can if you feel that:

1) Restoring Regedit values from a lower rom version

2) Restoring system applications form a lower rom version such as BT

are called for, wanted or even needed.

I fail to see that point as a upgrade is an upgrade and a backup is a backup. Now you could do a restore of your system data also (which you could also sync and that would be clean

Q2)

Most fo those settings are part of T-mobile.cabs found in Extrom, the rest would have been reg entries that you are going to have to hunt for and copy.

So sorry no way around reading the other thread (personalsettings.CAB)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] twn2:
MDAIIIUser - Maybe I should state what I'm trying to accomplish and you could give me a clue as to how to do it. A couple days ago I upgraded by BT on my PDA2K (generic from Expansys) to 1.0.0.3900 (or what ever the latest is) and I'm currently looking at upgrading my radio to 1.12, but that would require a hard reset. I'm not in the mood to go thru all the program installs and SMS/MMS tweaking again, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to get all my programs and configurations back after the hard reset. I thought by incorporating the personalsettings.cab (for my Tmo settings) and your method I would be up and running pretty quickly. Yes? I have Sprite Backup, but I'm not sure if that's going to overwrite anything after the radio upgrade????

Thoughts?

Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Well my logic (that could be wrong) would say that a restore of your backup would get you to were you are now.

That you would need a restore as you have to do a hard reset after the 1.12 radion install.

But I can't answer the question will the radio be restored as well,

I don't know, I don't know the settings in the backup application, so am sorry I will have to let somebody else answer this one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
If the binary is wrong, the one from play store may not work.

Permission should be rw-r-r(0644) for the su.apk and rwsr-sr-x(0645) for the su binary.

Beamed from my Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krackers:
I tried it myself and while it appears that commands do run, they don't appear to work. I think it might have to do with running as system vs running as root. Why else would saurik use an indirect method of gaining root (using ro.kernel.quemu) as opposed to directly pushing the su binaries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saurik:
This is correct: sometime in the Android 4.1 release cycle, they removed the ability to use /data/local.prop as an attack vector to go from system->root. The signature bug lets you modify the code of any APK, but the most powerful user an app can ever run as is system, not root.

However, in an update to Impactor today, I've added a system->root escalation. This allows one-click rooting, and even though the system->root I'm using has already been patched in AOSP (the idea was not to waste something to go along with a shell->system that is already long burned) it works on my 4.2.2 Nexus 4 (and so I'd imagine will also work fine on a Galaxy Nexus) as Android sucks at getting patches to real devices ;P.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mercuriussan:
Using Impactor on my Panasonic Eluga dl01 does somehow not work.

(Android 4.0.4)

I get following error message:

/data/local/tmp/impactor-6[3]: /data/local/tmp/impactor-4: Operation not permitted

I also tried and played around with the command line in Impactor.

"adb devices" won't list my phone

But when I use the adb from the current Android SDK I just installed, it will display my phone with "adb devices".

I also downloaded a ICS 4.04 root zip file with a script and adb files inside. When using that adb version, my phone won't be displayed too. Now when I run adb from the android SDK, it will say something like "server is outdated" then something like "kill and restart with new server" --> "adb devices" lists my phone correctly again.

May be the adb version used in Impactor is outdated and responsible for the error message?

I would really appreciate any help with this topic, because the Panasonic Eluga phone was never rooted until now and no known root method is available. I always kinda hoped that someone would use the masterkey thing to make a universal rooting tool ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krackers:
Do you need to have an unlocked bootloader for the root exploit to work? I am hoping to get root without having to wipe the device by unlocking.

To the poster above me: Try using a different computer and if that doesn't work, switch operating systems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
That's the whole point in securing Android, not that people have easier ways instead of unlocking a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krackers:
Tested and works great. I now have root. Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prasad:
Does it show any of the problems that chainfire's superSU 1.41 shows?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krackers:
The root exploit only places the su binary and sets the right permissions. You can use any root manager you want (I used clockworkmod's superuser app).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saurik:
The feature of installing su will not work on every device: a lot of emphasis is put on "rooting" Android devices, but on many devices even root can't do things like modify the files in /system; I'd use the term "jailbreak" as to being what people really want to do with their device, but Android people seem to have that term ;P. What this means is that you really need a kernel exploit, not just a shell->system->root escalation.

This error message actually indicates that Impactor succeeded in obtaining root control over your phone. However, when it tried to then, as root, remount /system writable so it could copy the su binary in place, it wasn't allowed to do so. A future version of Impactor will make it easier to drop to a root shell so you can test things out manually, but this means that while you can run code as root, you won't be able to install su.

However, if you have the time to play with it, get a copy of busybox and use adb to push it to /data/local/tmp (this is also something Impactor should help you do, but does not yet). (You will also need to make it executable, don't forget: "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox".) Then run the suggested Impactor command involving telnetd. Finally, via a shell, run "/data/local/tmp/busybox telnet 127.0.0.1 8899": you are now root.

You can verify that you are root because you will now have a # as a prompt instead of a $. Then run "mount -o remount,rw '' /system" (<- note, that's two single quotation marks as an argument between remount,rw and /system). This is the command that should fail with the "Operation not permitted" message. You are, however, root, so maybe there's something you want to do on the device at that point ;P.

The "Open Shell" in Impactor connects you to the device via adb: if you run adb on the device and ask for a list of devices attached to the device--something I didn't even realize was possible until you pointed it out here ;P I tested it, though, and wow: that actually is possible--you will get a blank list. However, suffice it to say that if you were able to type that at all, it can see your device.
