[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
Sounds like you are rooted, but your bootloader is still locked. In order to flash ROMs on Verizon you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you did that via Odin the first time around). From those screenshots you won't be able to tell if you have unlocked the bootloader...as far as I know the only want to check is to boot into recovery. If you see TWRP or CWM you are set...if you get the stock recovery you need to follow Adam Outler's original unlock method as you are on baseband VRALJB. To access recovery power off the device and then press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Whatever boots up will tell you what you need to know.

There are more and more roms which need ext partions，but i cannot find an app which can explore the sd-ext partions。

can anyone recommend one app for me。

like the function in the twrp which can explorer the ext-partion。

Thank anyone who help me in advance。
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] IronFistYo:
What exactly do you want..

Use any root explorer to explore the sd-ext ..

Or use Disk Usage app to know what is inside the sd-ext and what is it's size..

Click thanks if it helps

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Deic:
ES File Explorer 3.0 works for that :).

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] wsdyleon:
thank u for your reply,i just want to remove or add some apks in the ext-partions.

i had used RE to explore the sd-ext,but i can see nothing in the partion.

additionly,i used the int2ext script to extend the space for installing apps.

Thank u 4 your answer.

ES File Explorer can explore the apps in the ext-partion as the internal memory,but it cannot exploer the ext-partion directly.

i just want explore the content in the ext-partion directly just as the file manager in the twrp.

Hi

I've just received one of the Razr I phones on offer from Three UK for £149 + £10 topup ordered online. People might like to know that the phone I received is an unbranded UK Retail model with 4.1.2 and UNLOCKED. I've tried it with Virgin, T-Mobile & Tesco SIMs and it works fine. Very pleased so far.

Cheers - Andy
[RAZR i General] jutley:
Yea problem is you cant unlock the bootloaders try it yourself so no modding.
[RAZR i General] Ydnaroo:
Yep, aware of that. Should have made clear that I meant it was not SIM locked. Modding always seems to bring me grief :rolleyes: so I'm quite happy to keep it standard as a reliable phone/internet browser/navigation device. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,

are you totally sure that ALL of the Three PAYG Motorola Razr i-s can NOT be unlocked considering their bootloader? Why?

I plan to purchase one, but I knew nothing about this... Would I miss anything important if it remains locked?

What was said above is not correct. See the bootloader thread.

That would be great help if I could be sure :)
[RAZR i General] Ydnaroo:
Yep, I received mine yesterday and the label on the Box and About Phone page shows it to be a normal UK Retail version and mine definitely wasn't SIM locked as in OP. I'm currently using a Tesco (O2) PAYG SIM to use remaining credit before porting to 3. I've also tested with T-Mobile & Virgin and it works fine.

Thanks guys for the helpful (and fortunately positive) replies. Now I'm brave enough to turn the question by 180°:

[RAZR i General] jonezy8873:
funny enough yes. i bought one for my mrs today and after commenting only a few hours ago i thought i should try. so i put a giffgaff sim in it and it asked for unlock code??????

so i tryed with a EE sim and asked same again.

then i put the 3 sim back in got it all set up with google sync and apps etc and tryed again wigh sims and hey presto it worked????????

whats that all about?
[RAZR i General] Biohead:
I must've missed out on that as they're showing as £249.99 now. Shame really as I'm thinking about moving from GG to Three.

Instead I've picked up one from the Orange ebay store (£169.99 with £20 credit included). Seems like unlock codes can be picked up cheaply enough too - here's hoping the Orange branding isn't overboard.
[RAZR i General] sxxorp:
Hi, I had to do the same, because my UK contact was late by one day (she could go for the phone on 1st Aug 2013, offer ended at 31st July...), so I've ordered from Play.com with free Pillips BT speaker (http://www.play.com/stores/ChitterChatter/listing/828995144). +10Ł & Locked, but still satisfactory offer. When do you get yours? I've never thought of Orange branding... can it be disturbing?

And from where do you buy trustworthy unlock code? I'll need sth like that, too!
[RAZR i General] Biohead:
I bought mine from the "official" Orange UK eBay store - which is run by ChitterChatter, the same company in your play.com link. I'm hoping it gets delivered at some point this week.

There's quite a few sellers advertising an XT890 unlock on ebay for less than £10, so it seems pretty straight forward to get the handset unlocked.

Looking into people who bought the RAZR i last time Orange sold them for this price, the handsets themselves don't have any Orange branding. Usually, Orange really go over the top with their branding so it's nice to know these won't have that problem.
[RAZR i General] ryanraven:
Three raised there price to £249.99 a day after I bought mine for £149.99 :') guess I was lucku

It took about 18 hours to receive and it worked first time :)
[RAZR i General] sxxorp:
Thanks! This Seller I noticed and your positive feedback (Orange, same batch) is really helpful, I'll go with him! :)

You bought it for £160 (=150+10) - (or otherwise we also, but it was actually 150+20=£170),

BUT I just sold the additional speaker today for £50 (I really have to deliver it to me from my friend, now :D). Yeah, I'll pay for unlocking £7.

So 150+20-50+7=£127 :cool:

[RAZR i General] filaodotorg:
They are unlocked so you should have no problems using abroad. They are not branded by Three, the box is a generic Motorola box with a Three sticker seal on it.

Note that if you know someone who is already on Three you can avoid paying for the SIM and mandatory top-up. I got my father-in-law to buy it for me as he has a contract with them.

I actually also have a Moto G as I was unsure which one I wanted (whichever one I didn't want is going to my sister) and the Razr I feels so much nicer in the hand than the Moto G. Admittedly it's £50 more but IMO totally worth it and the phone flies :)

Hi

I have imei and baseband unknown problem. I had Jelly bean stock rom 4.1.2 on my phone. Rooted it with this file (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT5-OXX-5.03.0-signed) and I flashed my first rom (angry rom file [AROMA] ANGRY [JB] [v4.6] [XXLT5]). At first It seemed alright but it did not respond everytime I touched the screen, for example tapped Gnote app. After a day or so I tapped Gnote and the device went in a bootloop. Stopped with the Samsung logo. I could not get out of this bootloop. I read droid views (Things to Do Before and After Installing a Custom ROM + Troubleshooter) and tried different methods. The last way out of this was to reinstall stockware via odin. So I flashed ics stock for Nordic countries. Done this earier also with noe problems. After this I don t have any network. My imei and base band is gone. Before I went on with all of this I thougt I backed up my efs folder with es file explorer. I just found the efs folder and copied it from my internal memory to my externel sd card. But when I opened it it was empty. I also have a folder on my sd card called BACKUP EFS. It contained one tar file (efs_22Jul2013-2139.tar).I don’t know or remember how this BACK UP EFS folder got to my sd card.I tried to copy the empty efs folder from my sd card and on to my internal memory. I did not know if there was a special folder I should put this efs folder so I just copied it among the other folders in the internal memory. And then I copied the tar file from My BACK UP EFS folder. All done with es file explorer. I just got generic imei which probably is locked. So I still got no connection to my simcard and therefore no network. I just want to know if there is any hope here?

You see, about the phone and about the phone/status screenshoots: see Attached files

I have still got the serial number. But then again I don’t know if it has been altered.

And her You can see screenshoots of my external sd card folders: see Attached file

I have also checked my sim card on other phones. Then I get a connection/network. So I think the simcard is ok.

I have an imei number on a sticker behind the battery of the phone

Please need help !

Hi

Thanks alot for helping. But it did not work. no contact With simcard no network. Then I probably have to send it to Samsung. Bought this phone a year ago. Do You think that I could get this on my warranty. got a New simcard (With bankid) 2 weeks ago. If i unroot it to ics Nordic country file With odin. Or is that impossible. My binary Counter is not activated so they cant see anything there. Or is this too obvious You think?

and one more thing. I was on jelly bean xxlt5 when i rooted and made the back up of the efs folder. Now when I tried this I am on ics . could this be the problem. Thus I should flash this Stock rom (N7000XXLT5_N7000OXXLT2_XEH) that i found on Google and try again?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
command is

su, then enter, an enter after everyline. so type it like it is written, line for line, then reboot. Only needed if your phone doesnt prompt pin password on boot.

serial is no issue.

Copying efs folder, and putting it back does generally not work. Unless you experiment like restoring nv data bins. but then you need bak file and all with original emei which I suspect you dont have. Imei is issue but depends on country and provider blacklist. Only Samsung or cvxcvx can help you if thats the case.

your emei however was gone before the tar backup was made.

need root to use odin?

Forget my inquiry I got my ansver !!!

Hi

Thank You for Your prievious help.

1) I had to get gingerbread 2.3.6 on my phone and full root before he could restore my imei. I did this and rooted With abyss kernel. The Method I used did the following. I got the triangle and binary Counter was set to 1. Now I have emei but I cant get my phone to update to jb because of this. Now I did not found out any other way to root gingerbread.

Then I flashed Gingerbread once again using Odin With gingerbread tar file, Nordic countries. Afterwards it restarted as it suppose to do. I tapped my sim pincode when promted. Now nothing happened to my phone other than that I lost my root. The sms and historik data is still there. but the triangle is gone but my binary Counter is still active, thus I cant get the Samsung jb update.

1) think I now should do a wipe data/ factory reset and then continued to 2)?

I wanted to use this Method to resett my binary Counter by using triangle away: video cursed4eva ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa-t-8ypcYs ) written description ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114). But does only work With Stock kernel. I have rooted With abyss kernel which is custum if I am not wrong. This is the only way I know to root gingerbread on my Note.

I also have Stock firmware ics Nordic countries which I want to flash using Odin. And this I can root With philz kernel which is Stock I think. And then I can go on With resetting binary Counter(video above cursed4eva).

2) I want to get my Stock ics on my phone using odin.

NOW THE MAIN QESTION IS DO I HAVE TO ROOT GINGERBREAD WHITH ABYSS KERNEL AGAIN SO THAT I CAN FLASH STOCK ICS USING ODIN OR CAN I JUST FLASH ICS WITH ODIN WITHOUT A ROOT? OR SAID ANOTHER WAY DO I NEED ROOT TO FLASH ICS USING ODIN?

Hope You can answer me 1) and 2)

have imei but no connection to network/data

Hi

Thank You for responding to my thread :).

(Ok I want to flash straight to jb but i dont find the Stock firmware for Nordic countries, so I use my ics firmware and update from there With Samsung update)

I did a factory resett on GB and then I flashed ics using odin(Odin3-v1.85). . when on Stock ICS kernel i did not do a wipe/faktory resett. I then went right to root my phone With philz kernel With this kernel on ext. sd card( Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed ) using Method volum up , Power, home and then selected update from ext. sd card and so on. Now I tried to Connect to network and it does not Connect. i still have imei. when I go

into settings and mobile network. When I tap network operators it only finds network operators like , Telenor, Netcome, mobile Norway but not Onecall(which I am using). Then I tap Select automatically, I then get a Message in small letters on my screen saying; network registered (googled mobile norway + onecall, and it seems that Onecall is getting their net from Telenor and mobile norway, thats somehow I get the Message registered on network I think). So I am able to download the JB update from Samsung over wifi (I have downloaded but of course not run it?), but I dont get to Connect to mobilnetwork and surf With f.ex my net-browser.

What do I do now? Og back to GB and see If it function again? Or just go on to resett my binary Counter or do the jb update which I have downloaded and se if that Works.

and if I am to go on to resett my binary Counter using this Method safe. I am a littel scared that I have to brick my phone totally using this method, but then again I am getting tired and running out of options it seems.

Have to say loosing imei has been and still is a true nightmare. promblems doent seem to stop
