[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LBN1:
Credit to: Owl74 and f_v_man and probably others too... See, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024514

I have a T-Mo GS2 and Blaze, and have found that in many ways they are almost identical. I have previously flashed GS2 radios on the Blaze and vice versa. This process to Sim unlock worked on my GS2, so thought I would try it on my Blaze; it worked perfectly! My secondary sim from a non T-Mo provider is from TruPhone.

Start here:

* Nandroid your current rom.

* Restore if you have it, or flash back to stock T-Mo ICS 4.0.4 rom (my stock rom is rooted btw).

* Flash the T989UVLE1 radio.

Radio thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1895400

Then follow these points from the cited thread:

Turn off phone. Insert a SIM from another provider into your phone.

Click "DISMISS" on the Enter Unlock Code screen after the phone starts up.

Wait a minute for the phone to power on and settle down.

Go to dialer screen. Press *#197328640#

The screen will change to the hidden menu as soon as you hit the last # key in the dialer:

Press [1]DEBUG SCREEN

Press [8]PHONE CONTROL

Press [5] SIMULATION

Press [6] NETWORK LOCK

Press [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF

Wait exactly 30 seconds

press the menu key on the phone and select back option. This will take you back to NETWORK LOCK screen.

Press [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ

Wait exactly one minute and reboot the phone.

Your phone should now be Sim unlocked.

Afterwards:

* Restore your previous rom's Nandroid (I went back to CM10 nightly)

* Flash a more current radio such as TLMC4

* You may have to reset or recreate an APN for your non T-Mo sim card.

Disclaimer: Use at your own risk, I'm just sharing. Also check out the original thread for questions and answers, as I may not be on the Blaze forum much - my Blaze is just a back-up phone now. Please hit Thanks if this helped.

Edit on Legality: Some say this is improper, others disagree. Regardless, I'll state this is just a hypothetical explanation...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
Isn't this illegal now...?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/now-illegal-unlock-cellphone/storynew?id=18319518

Long story short, YES. It violates copyright laws.

Can a mod please clean this up?

Sorry LBN1 good information, but illegal procedures are against XDA forum rules. Not meaning to insult you or anything....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Somcom3X:
I thought it was illegal for phones bought after a certain date.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
From the same link:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Somcom3X:
No, you misunderstood. I'm saying that it is legal to unlock a phone bought after a certain date.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
That's not how I interpreted it. The way I read it is "It is illegal to unlock your phone after this date". However, the point is moot:

I disagree with Naddict in that selling them is the only legal violation, as ABC News states that civil offense could be as much as a $2,500 fine.

Basically, if it was unlocked already, it's not illegal. If it wasn't, it is, regardless if its for yourself or for commercial gain.

How can they tell if it was unlocked prior? I have no clue. I doubt they can. But if you purchased your phone after the date it was made illegal, especially from a service provider, it's going to be hard to prove you're not the one that unlocked it.

To the OP, I would put a mention at the top that there could be legal troubles with this.

Regardless, it's still good information and I'm glad that the thread isn't being taken down, especially because I dont agree with this particular law. At all. I think you should be able to modify your own device as you see fit.

Nice man thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I would also like to add that this law was made primarily with the carriers - not the "uncarrier" as tmo is. Also even if you don't pay 100% for your phone up front, you own the phone al la device installment payments (aka a loan). Also it is worded in the contract that if you cancel service you are required to pay off the device now.

Basically this was at&t bribing (lobbying) their 'guy' to stop people from getting their subsidized phone and unlocking it themselves and taking it to tmo and getting their less expensive service.

I am under the impression that the carrier starts the legal process by looking for new customers who are suddenly no longer using their network.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] owen_li:
It worked. Many Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dannyxda:
Oh look we have a hall monitor!

The law isn't always right and fair. Freedom is more important than the law! If you bought a used phone that is off contract and legally

owned, it's your property. You should be able to modify it as you see fit. There's a law somewhere probably about taking a drink

on a sunday or some such. The purpose of law is to protect the little guy from the big guy. When law starts to protect the big guy

abusing the little guy, the law is wrong. The right thing to do is the right thing to do, regardless if the law agrees.

Now with all that said, Dont' be so small minded to assume the US Laws are valid worldwide or that XDA Only has US based

members. For that matter, it's only illegal in the US MAYBE, so if someone si going on a vacation, they can legally do it there,

and should be fine with learning how to do it here.. if you want to be technical.

I'm not sure you have to flash the UVLE1 radio... however I ended up doing it. The thing is, when you follow the instructions

and get to the wait 30 seconds part, you might see an error message and think it's not working. Ignore that error, wait 30

seconds as instructed, and continue. Same for the 1 minute instruction. You may not get confirmations if youre expecting them

but if you reboot with a sim in your phone (lycamobile is mine) it shoudl boot fine and not ask for a network unlock.

PS I was expecting my Imei to be zeroed out, and mine is actually populated. So it may be either case for you.

Also when i tried to flash a later radio, it still says UVLE1.. so i'm still working on that.

P.S. dont' forget to put your APN settings in, if you want data to work
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tommyboy8125:
Everything worked fine for me once I found a stock cwm flashable ROM. Now I just need a activated sim card to try.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thehumble1:
I'm not sure this is illegal if you legally own the phone outright. It does seem to be illegal if you are bound by a subsidy agreement with a carrier for the phone. If they let you off the subsidy early, if you've paid off the phone in full, or if you have completed the subsidy term, you are allowed to unlock the SIM lock and the carrier should assist you with this. I think it's a fuzzy area though since you may not have the right to break into the phone even if it's your phone. Like not being able to buy a slimjim even though it's to get into your own car.

Since almost no one is still on contract with the Blaze, why don't we just figure out how to contact T-Mo or whomever and get them to SIM unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inimeg81:
Worked great on exhilarate i577
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mobileunlocked:
We are actually an unlock code provider so I might have some input into this debate - I was also personally quoted on VentureBeat on the issue.

Phone unlocking was made illegal in the United States for phones purchased after January 26th 2013. We've been involved in being vocal about the law change being unjust and have released research showing how phone unlocking in the US has actually risen since the law change, so obviously people are fighting against it.

The White House received a petition with over 100,000 signatures on earlier in the year, prompting them to look again at the law. The Obama administration has since said they think phone unlocking should be legal, with papers already drawn up and submitted to congress for the law to be changed back, maybe not entirely but altered drastically.

There are tons of articles on the issue online but that should clear this debate up.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inimeg81:
I don't personally think it will change back for quite some time. I rely don't think the Obama admin gives a f and won't look back to it since it has changed

not working

I have tried over and over. I have flashed a stock ROM flashed the UVLE1 radio from t989... And still when I dial *#197328640# it just clears the dialer and no hidden menu comes up. I have done full wipes each time. I am using a sprint SIM card to try to unlock it. Could that have something to do with it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tommyboy8125:
Try a different stock ROM. I had that problem and had to try a different one.

Hi all,

I am trying to make a universal CWM flashable .zip file that automagically installs drivers for the IR Blaster on the P3113. Unfortunately, I would like some help from some developers so I can learn more about how I could make this possible. I really think that if I could get some help and make this work, than I would be making a large contribution to both the developer and end-user community as not many non-stock ROMs have support for an IR blaster.

If you would enjoy to help on making this, feel free to PM me!

Thanks,

Look at the Code Review:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46770/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46771/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45069/

To see how IR is implemented. There isn't a single driver-type file/files like in windows. There is an IRda system service that is a go between, between the compiled module for IR and the applications using IR. The second part is the module that is the go-between, between the board hardware and the system service.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
Its involves alot of changes in the source code. It can't be implemented into a universal flashable zip.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejrcrafter2:
Oh, well that's a bummer. I was really hoping that something would come of this. Would it be possible to maybe make a package of some sort that has a shell script that embeds the IR modules into downloaded source code before you build it, so you don't have to put it in manually? That's really all that I'm hoping for, is some way to auto-embed IR support into any ROM.

[Glass Q&A] Seannoxious:
I am rather confused as to how to develop for Google Glass. So I am just going to do a brain dump as a sanity check. Please let me know if I have any misconceptions as I am rather confused.

There are currently 2 ways to develop for glass.

1)Mirror API

2)Pushing a APK onto the device

So the Mirror API is just a way to post to a special Glass Feed on a Glass owner's G+ account (or something to that sort) ?:confused: Can this be an actual app or is it just a way to communicate data to a person? Will the cards you push be differentiated from other Mirror API cards? Can apps this way handle gestures?

Pushing an APK: If I design an application that handles swipes, voice control and camera will it just work on Glass? Is there anything special that needs to be done to handle input/output on Glass? Are there any caveats to making an android apk and pushing it to a glass device?

Thanks,

Hello. I'm trying to make adb work in Windows 7 x64 SP1 (updated) with my Nexus 4.

I enabled USB debugging and it shows up as "Nexus 4" under "Other devices" in Windows' Device Manager. I tried installing Google's drivers from the Android SDK, but it can't find any drivers. Same results with the "Universal Naked Driver".

The device ID it shows is USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&REV_0228 (see attachment), which I couldn't find anywhere. Is this normal?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathan.7118391:
You have to right click on the other drivers folder and then update drivers. But you have to have the adb drivers download for it. The only thing is that you need the drivers. Try to search for nexus 4 adb driver download.

Have you tried turning off your phone and then plugging the phone to your computer? That should automatically download the drivers but someone's you get errors.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?

As of 8/10,

- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)

- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.

- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)

- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.

- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)

I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver?
