[Wildfire General] androidmodd:
I don't think i clarified this properly, but i found this phone at my friends house in a cupboard and it was broken, so i don't know its history, but according to him the phone has been unlocked from 3 UK to any network by one of those mobile phone shops, and after a year or so of use, the phone randomly got stuck in a bootloop one day.

here is a screenshot of the bootloader:
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
ok execute the command fastboot getvar all please.

output the result here, except the imei and htc serial number of your device.

also, i believe you have been unlocked using an xtc clip. that is why you are s-off and have sim unlock. but the old hboots dont support fastboot flashing commands as they were never ment too. the revolutionary added fastboot commands to their 1.01.0001 hboot for people to use.

if i am right your main issue is the sd card you are trying to use. some dont like hboots :/ its as simple as that. try using a different one that is less than 4gb and let us know how you get on :)
[Wildfire General] androidmodd:
Here you go:

I have another SD card that I could use, this one is a 2GB samsung microSD card, ill try with an aData card that definetely works for fastboot on a ZTE Blade.
[Wildfire General] androidmodd:
OK, ive tried with another SD card now and i get this:

and when i try the RUU thing from htc dev unlock i get this:

OK, on HTC dev ulock i get three option:

I select the first one, then i get this:

Ofcourse i choose this option:

Is that where im going wrong?

[EDIT]:

OK ive tried with the HTC WWE and i get the same thing:
[Wildfire General] androidmodd:
SUCCESS, i think, i have managed to install recovery through this:

and then:

and i can now boot into recovery, what now?

Ive done a full data wipe/factory reset wiped dalvik cache, wiped cache.

It took a long time to boot, but it works now :D ok, but i still want to fix the fastboot flashing issue and update hboot and htc dev unlock the bootloader, could you guys help me with that? :)

also any bug-free android 2.3 sense roms that you would reccommend? (android 4.0 and 4.1/4.2 roms sense roms are preferable but i doubt any bug free/few bug versions exist xD for the wildfire)
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
what you want to do is follow this guide and run it on the ruu from the hboot downgrade thread, this will leave you with a rom.zip that has hboot 1.01.0001 . remember you dont need to follow that whole thread you only need the ruu from its package.

then once you have the rom.zip you need to place it onto the root of your working sd card and rename it to PC49IMG.zip and then boot into the bootloader with it in the phone. it will hopefully find the update and flash it.

(make sure you dont accadentally name it to PC49IMG.zip.zip as that wont work :P)

then you want to go to revolutionary.io and then run the s-off tool. it wont change the fact you are s-off, but it will give you the revolutionary hboot, which has full fastboot commands without telling htc about it ;)

as i suspected your phone has been done by an xtc clip as you have supercid and your mid has been removed to stock and not a local number.

once you have done that you can flash roms to your hearts content :)

remember, until you have ran revolutionary fastboot flash commands will not work. you will have to follow the bootloader PC49IMG.zip update method.
[Wildfire General] androidmodd:
Im sorry but the links in that thread don't work :/ the RUU download link that is.
[Wildfire General] gothicasshole:
Ok for the ruu to work you have to be booted into the stock rom with a locked boot loader and the stock kernel

May be your best bet is to reflash your recovery then do a full wipe of internal storage pop in an sd card with a clean install of a custom rom
[Wildfire General] androidmodd:
never mind guys, i found the RUU and did it, i didn't even need to get the rom.zip, i managed to run the RUU.exe and install it that way :)

and i have the "revolutionary" thing accross the top of my bootloader now :)

any stable gingerbread sense rom reccommendations guys?

also for anyone wondering, im using screenshooter hence why screenshots and annotating screenshots is so easy xD
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
not really any stable gingerbread sense roms, for gingerbread try cm7 :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Prantheman:
My phone was working fine for the past few days. I believe I updated my nightly on July 28th. Today I picked up my phone and it randomly crashed. I figured it would just boot up, but it didn't; I took out the battery and replaced it several times and it didn't even go to the spining Cyanogenmod logo. I tried getting it into Recovery mode, but it shuts off 3 seconds after getting it there and tries to perform the same reboot task. Is there some way to factory reset the device w/o recovery mode?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] willham:
What about download mode? If you can you could always Odin back to stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Prantheman:
tulthow 19.9

I'd try it, but I need to know what programs to use whilst doing so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Just attempt to boot into download mode first, search ODIN in the Dev section. Sounds like another S3 is biting the dust. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dannytron:
To get into download mode, hold the power up home and power button simultaneously. Hold until a screen shows up and then press volume up. Do not plug in USB cable until you reach that screen. Launch Odin and flash the root66 md5.tar file and then reboot. Hope that works.

HEY GUYS,

I am just about to sell my current phone samsung galaxy note,

i want to upgrade but am not sure what phone to get so i would like some advice from people more in the know than me,

my budget is around £250 and i am looking at the second hand market as i think i will get more bang for my buck so to speak,

so can you suggest a good phone please my only MUST on the new phone is a large screen and it must support flash or an easy work around to get flash sites working as i use a auction website that has to use flash and with no flash support the site wont work and then the phone is no good to me at all.

thank you for any help

anthony

Is there any way to get volume rocker music controls without rooting and installing a custom ROM? I've tried apps like PlayerPro and PowerAmp but they don't seem to work for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kidd_Funkadelic:
I've been looking too. I was hoping there was a flashable MOD that I could add to stock (odex) since at the moment it's the only missing functionality that I'm really wishing I had... I haven't seen anything though...

ive been tryin out the 4.3 roms and there battery sucks on every single one of them, I mostly like the volume rocker too since I listen to music all day. I hope theres a flashable mode to put this on ics.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] princegary:
Hi I have an O2 XDA2i. while navigating with tomtom, if a call comes in and I answer it I cannot hear anyone, not sure if they can hear me either. I am using a Bluetooth GPS. Does anybody have a fix for this? or am I alone in this problem ? Also, even if I close tomtom down I cannot get hear anything while making a call...only option is to reset the phone.

...grrrrr.......

on a side note..... Does anyone have an XDA2i that has a blutooth car kit that works without echos?

Cheers,

Gary.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fritz:
Installing the Tom Tom GPS 3.07 update reslved a lot of the problems I have using Tom Tom BT and a BT headset.

Install it after everything else and remove SD card before install.

still locks up every now and again but its about as good as I can get it to work.

Tom Tom don;t seem to give a damn about this problem.

There's nothing like a satisfied customer and I'm nothing like a satisfied customer
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] yourmate:
@princegary

please check this link:

http://www.tomtom.com/support/right...n/uk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1719

as tomtom declares:

...Therefore this update can also be used if you have:

an HP63xx Pocket PC (+ Bluetooth GPS)

MDA2/XDA2/QTEK2020

so it is not really for xda2i, but you'll see... (I don't see a reason for not working with it)

@ Fritz

I do not know, that you only mistyped or really used TomTom GPS 3.07 INSTEAD OF TomTom Navigator 3.07, but if so - give it another try...

Maybe it helps to be satisfied! 8)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fritz:
I tried the full 3.07 update and same problem still existsed.

I've now installed the 5.0 upgrade and this does seem to have resolved the problem.

All is not perfect as Tom Tom has stopped running twice for no apparent reason but all I need do is restart the application. I think it might be more to do with it loosing the GPS BT signal rather than a problem with the software compatibility. Only two days in so I'll let you all know how I get on through the week.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] yourmate:
the only problem I had with tt3.07 on my xdaII, that sometimes it loaded so slowly, I started it more than once - after a soft reset, the problem's gone

but never stopped during/because of a call (neither destinator 3.075 did so far)

so, maybe just your device...

I upgraded to wm2005g and tt5 and having no problem at all (so far :wink: )
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fritz:
As I mentioned TTN5 seems much better, much more stable.

Would love to upgrade to WM2005 but as I understand it it doesn't work on the XDA2i only the XDA2 and the XDA2s.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] nya2003uk:
HI there,

Does TOMTOM 5 work fine on XDA IIi? I have just read another forum here, that TOMTOM 5 is not compatible with the XDA IIi

I am about to upgrade and get the XDA IIi, i would appreciate if you could let me know.

thanks

nya
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fritz:
I upgraded across the weekend and so far Tom Tom Nav 5 has worked pretty well on the XDA2i.

As mentioned it has given up on me twice but I don't think this is due to incompatibility
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] nya2003uk:
thanks for the quick reply, just one more question please what GPS receiver are you using?

thanks in advance

I installed TomTom 5 and the problem is solved! Call came in and I thought Damn... but I picked up the call and it was fine :-) TomTom even resumed after the call which I was amazed at.

My only problem now is that I got a new 1gb card and tomtom hates it, or atleast my XDA2i does. Would it be better for me to just buy a 512mb for my sat nav apps? or is there a recommended brand of 1/2gb card that works happily on the XDA2i and TOMTOM 5?

Hi,

I want to buy the T-Mobile S4 unlocked, but I just need the device, not the plan (cause it's an additional $50)

The only place I know is shopnbc.com but it just got sold out there.

Any other places/sites ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
The phones I bought that way. G2 & Hercules. Were purchased on e-bay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You could always buy it off-contract from a T-Mobile store and unlock it yourself. I don't know how the price would compare to online vendors or anything, but it's definitely worth considering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
I don't really trust ebay. I'll keep it as a last resort.

I checked Negri electronics. They do have it in stock but it's listed as

"This device is intended for INTERNATIONAL USE only"

They said that it's IMEI blocked from being used in the US due to recent unlocking laws.

But that's not how I understand the law is.... nobody said anything about not being able to use devices which are already unlocked , fully bought and paid for.

Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
Yeah, that's an option, just trying to save $50, that's the first month service charge. I don't really need the T-Mobile service at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Yeah, but what I'm saying is that you don't have to get service with T-Mobile to buy the S4 from them. Tell them you want to buy it outright and off-contract. Pay full price and walk out device in hand, without any sort of service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
They let you do that ?

I had checked online and there was no way to buy a phone without service.

I'll try the store today.

Edit: I just called them up, they don't let you buy just the device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Yup. I did it around 2 weeks after release when I was still on AT&T; had it up and running within the hour.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
I just called up another store. They are not letting me save any money :P

It's 650+tax in store without plan and 600 with plan :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Oh believe me, I know. :D I just mentioned it because I'm not exactly sure the price difference between an online vendor and in-store; but it is definitely possible to get it there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Magicantian:
If you're looking to buy unlocked, buy from anyone reputable, reputable being a real business. But if you're going to go on eBay, Craigslist, or anything dealing with the average joe, do note that you could be buying a device that has the potential to be blacklisted. When on eBay, look at their feedback and determine how many phones they're selling. If it's just a few, I would be weary as to how they're getting their stock.

Whatever vendor said an international phone can't be used in the USA and is blacklisted due to it being unlocked is full of nonsense and should be avoided like the plague, sketchy stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
Totally agree, ebay and CL postings cannot be 100% trusted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jslim38:
Best advice stay away from ebay I buy a lot of unlocked devices from amazon this is the way to go you cant go wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
Checked Amazon, still no reputable seller and 0 reviews:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kgbeezr1:
If you're not morally opposed to supporting Wal-Mart, most of them sell the S4 for Family Mobile (T-Mobile) for $629. I think it's even available on their website under "prepaid devices".

Edit: It's not unlocked, obviously, but the unlock process is posted in this forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jslim38:
Hmm I just checked and found one with a 97% positive rating on amazon.and yes its unlocked but you have to make sure that it has the lte bands for tmo

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
I'd rather go with an unofficial unlock. I don't know whether T-Mobile will unlock this.

That's an i9500 . the T-Mobile one is m919. Thanks though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If you buy it from a T-Mobile store, they are supposed to be able to unlock it for you there. They gave me the run-around though; said they couldn't do it in store unless I was a customer while customer service said it had to be done in-store because I

wasn't

a customer. Plus, as was mentioned in some other thread (or perhaps earlier in this one, I don't remember) you may pay a few dollars more in-store, but if something happens within the warranty period you just take back in-store instead of shipping it off somewhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
I've paid off my phone, a week later called CS they email me snd told me I have to wait 40 days to get the unlock code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I know... there are inconsistencies in what they're telling people though. I was told by CS that I had to wait 30-40 days to get the unlock code by phone, go through Samsung and get it whenever they get around to it, or go in store and get it whenever I wanted. I was just pointing out the fact that it almost appears that, at the time at least, they didn't know what exactly was going on as CS tells me one thing and the reps in the store said to go through customer service. I ended up not even worrying about TMO and waiting and just did the unlock method here. MUCH less hassle :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortexmak:
The unlock method mentioned here. Is it permanent ? Does it survive factory reset / reflash / ROM change, etc ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
It's permanent. Once you unlock it stays unlocked.

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] STEALTH_NT:
It seems that the random loops happens if you play with cache and other stuff only, for backup and restore works fine. I guess we was using the same files, prolly will be a trouble when we attemp to install the new room cause we cannot clean cache etc etc but so far on my test is working fine and as long I don't use anything else than restore and backup on CWM works fine.

I using gscript in order to make work CWM
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] kalel29:
i did not used CWM recovery,for anything,didnt use the wipe cache or anything,after exiting CWM recovery,bootloops strated until i got stucked in the logo.

So even if you are using the one for the p715,in the same thread they say that its unstable and does not worth the risk,i hope you can find another way to make a CWM recovery for this model,cause the one thing thats holding me back its that the booloader its locked.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] STEALTH_NT:
