yeh, i know wat u mean...i have the same problem with the 2.5 to 3.5 conveter...with only one earphone working...if u fiddle with the postioning you will find that i works... so the theory that i have come up with is that i think the connections on the "jack" itself is different to standard, if you look on the "jack" there are 3 rings around it, which is left speaker, right speaker and micraphone...so i think that the rings are in a different order so when u plug anything else in it uses one side as a speaker and the other side as a micraphone...Well at least thats what i think but im sure its pretty accurate...but im open for correction...and if anyone has a solution to the problem then let us know... im using some earphones from motorola with a 2.5 jack and they are working perfectly, quality is a bit better than xda2s earphones, but thats about the best i could do...

hope there is a solution soon, i guess we just need the right 2.5 to 3.5 converter...if there is one...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] admiral:
I also had the same problem. When I bought mine new PDA2K device I tried to use my old XDAII headset and you're right -- it doesn't fit and it doesn't work. On www.expansys-usa.com I bought the PPC Techs 2.5mm/3.5mm converter for headset and for stereo headphone -- no luck doesn't work anymore with my new PDA2K.

I have noticed one thing though -- as standard 2.5 mm headset from RadioShack now works without any problems! I don't know why is it happening but they didn't work before with my previous XDA device... I also don't know if it is good or bad for PDA2K.

Does anyone know the internal wirings of new PDA2K and has it been declared that it will be officially compatible with the standard 2.5 mm headsets (which will been nice of course if it was).

Pretty good converters IMHO can be found at:

thanks for all your imput.

my original questions was asked because ive lost my xda2s headset and was wondering if this headset from ebay would work with my phone. as i said before i have xda headphones that fit perfectly into the socket but yet only sound through one ear. im not intrested in a converter ive had enough of them. if i get a working headset then i may try the soldering later on.

could anyone just check if this headset may be compatible with the xda2s

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6411586495&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1

i know for sure the xda2i headphones work fine in my phone.

thanks for your help
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
No they won't. There's already a thread about this somewhere. I can't remember who said it but someone mentioned that HTC must have shares in the Jack company as they seem to change the adapter for EVERY handset. It's so annoying that the 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter doesn't work as I can no longer use my XDA with a cheapy iTrip in the car.
[General Questions and Answers] tvf_tez_e:
Hi everyone, I'm having this issue for a couple days. You know there are sponsored videos in some games and you earn in-game promotion as much as you watch them. For a while none of any game/app in my device let me watch any sponsored video. All other ads still stay but videos don't. It's just saying "We don't have any video for you" when I tap to watch. I never had this issue even once for months.

Only difference I did in my device is changing the local time for a couple minutes. I changed it to a past date but I didn't run any app. Tried to restart the device but didn't work. Now everything is just like before but I'm suspecting is it because of this little date change or not. Please give me some advise to fix this issue, thanks

Custom Recovery. Philz Touch

ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2352258

I has also attempted to update the base band when on this rom to MGA to the About device Baseband version stayed at XXUBMEA

Situation: I was getting lots of force closureswouldn'tentually it just wouldnt reboot, thenre-flashedvery failed. I reflashed the recovery and restored from wouldn'thowever it still wouldnt boot. (About 90% of the way through the bSamsungmation the audio samsung logo sound died. The Samsunghen went to the "samsung" static image with the blue LED light on and just stayed there... for about 30 mins before I force shutdown the phone.

I the attempted to flash stock ROM (listed in Goal above) downloaded from SamMobile. The same thing happened again. Boot gets stuck. I got into stock recovery and wre-flashedactory reset and reflashed. The ROM installed but I had no wifi. I then flashed the I9505XXUBMGA modem. Reboot and I had wifi. However About device still shows XXUBMEA baseband.

I wanted to see if I was able to get OTA updates from Samsung however Samsung update app is saying that the device is modified... so something isnt quite right yet. Im guessing it might be to do with the modem / baseband but to be honest I am a bit lost.

Screen shot of my current About Device Information. Also Device Status is showing as custom..

Thinking outloud here... would a Root->TriangleAway->reset counter etc->flash philz touch->full wipe for new ROM->boot to download->Odin flash stock fix it? Or could that do any further damage?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _sebha:
First install chainfires triangle away to reset your flash counter. For this you need root.

Then do a factory reset in recovery and flash stock with odin.

You wont get ota when flash counter >0 so give it a try.

Hopefully this helps

EDIT: If the new modem wont appear after a odin flash then uncheck the auto reboot option in odin and flash the modem twice, that helped for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellegg:
Device Status is showing as custom, because you had flashed non-stock rom...

Yep, I will try that over lunch and see if it works. Not sure that will get me to the XXUBMGA modem though but its certainly a step in the right direction.

I really appreciate both your replys. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _sebha:
Look at my edit in first post.

Uncheck auto reboot in odin and flash only the modem twice (manual reboot to download mode after first flash) after second flash reboot device.

That worked for me

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polcup:
Update

I was unable to root I9505XXUBMGA. CF-Autoroot didnt stick. I tried a couple of installs. One through Odin and one through CWM. Neither took.

I flashed an older pre-rooted stock rom I had XXUBMEA and then ran Triangle away. It returned the counter to '0' and brought the status back to official.

So now im back to stock MEA and to be honest I am happy to stay here for a bit. I will maybe move up to MGA if I find a pre-rooted version.

Thanks for your help.

Sorted!

[Galaxy Note II General] Maverik92:
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm coming from a iPhone (it was a hand-me-down, I swear!) and a HTC Snap, so my Note II LTE (N7105) is my very first Android. I got sick of waiting for Samsung to release 4.2/3, hence I'm flashing Cyanogenmod. Being a n00b myself, I couldn't find any n00b friendly guides on how to flash my phone, so here's to hoping this little guide will help someone!

All that follows are from my own experience, and may or may not work on your phone. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

I'm sorry for the lifehacker URL, I don't have the required posts to post outside links :rolleyes:

First things first, rooting your phone is NOT required. See li feha ck er.c0m / you-dont-need-root-to-flash-custom-rom-using-third-par-1090733218

1) CHARGE YOUR PHONE

1a) Backup your phone. I used Helium, search for it on Google Play

1b) Remove your SD card, just in case.

2) Download and install Visual C++ and Heimdall, links from wiki.cyanogenmod.org/ w/Install_ CM_for_t0lte

2a) Download ClockworkMod Recovery, rename it recovery.img and place it in the same folder as Heimdall.exe

2b) Reboot your computer.

3) Download Cyanogenmod from get.cm, and Google Apps from goo.im/gapps. They should both be .zip files

3a) Transfer them to /sdcard/ on your phone

4) Power off your phone, and then get it to Download Mode (hold down Vol down + Home + Power)

4a) Connect your phone to your computer directly, not through a hub.

4b) Open Heimdall, Drivers, and run Zadig.exe

4c) Click on Options on top, and select List All Devices

4d) Select Samsung USB Composite Device or MSM8x60 or Gadget Serial or Device Name from the drop down menu

4e) Click on the big button with Install WCID Driver. There should be a popup saying that the driver was successfully installed

5) Close Zadig.exe, and open a Command Prompt window. (Go to the start menu and type cmd in the blank box)

5a) Navigate to the folder with Heimdall.exe. (use cd to change directories, ie type "cd [path]")

5b) Enter "heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot", press enter, and stare intently on your phone for a blue bar

5c) If all goes well, the bar should appear, and once it's filled up (took less than a minute on my phone), close the Command Prompt window and unplug your phone

6) Go into Recovery Mode (hold down Vol up + Home + Power)

6a) Using the volume buttons and home button, select Install Zip From SDCard, and then flash the Cyanogenmod .zip first, and then Google Apps .zip

6b) Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset

6c) You're done!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skypekestutiss:
Hi all,

Can someone help me please : ) Thanks

The problem is network connection mode from GSM to WCDMA and opposite WCDMA to GPRS

Is It some way I can disable GPRS data connection, but keep WCDMA data connection + keep GSM signal as well

I will explain way : )

The problem is when Im driving my car and listen internet radio.

So when Im driving seem Im passing 3 Network Cells in my road to work

Each time when phone connecting to other cell first he connects to GPRS signal later he changes to WCDMA data Everything is logical maybe how the network cells works

But it is not good for me as the time phone goes to GPRS data / mode my radio stop working and before I have 3G signal maybe 5 minutes or more ….

1 When phone in GPRS mode and the radio on it is seams trying to stay for wile before connecting to WCDMA Maybe up to 5-10 minutes

2 When phone in GPRS mode and the radiooff phone in couple minutes changes to WCDMA

---------------

So one day I set my phone network to WCDMA MODE to see what happens and I can to believe that my phone all time keeps 3G ( WCDMA) connection without problem Internet radio work without stopping not crashing nothing at all everything perfect ….

BUT When I drive to my work place where is the signal very poor I have lost phone connection to network because my phone signal to only WCDMA MODE -- So to have signal in my work I need to change to GSM mode or auto mode

Is it some way I can have GSM mode + WCDMA MODE but without GPRS data connectivity or some way to block my phone connecting to GPRS mode data ?

Thanks for help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skypekestutiss:
I have found on google play

Than someone have app for what I need The app name 3G Data Only

But I would like to know how manually I can disable 2G data ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jonahng1994:
So I use Bluetooth to connect my phone to my car stereo and when I turn off my screen my music like skips like if it were a scratched CD. It's really annoying. I use power amp but what ever app I use it skips for some reason. I heard that Jelly bean has that issue. I am running illusion ROM right now. I've tried almost every ROM to see it would stop that from happening but no luck. I'll probably flash Jedi X16 soon meanwhile there is a fix. Sometimes when I use my headphone it skips also. If anyone has any fix to this please let me know. I love AOSP I don't want to go to Touchwiz again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] G7Baker:
If a clean flash dont help. Than try a TW rom such as JediX to see if problem persist. If all your music apps are doing the same thing. Then it might be the Rom or Kernel.

[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Hello everyone,

I had installed CM10.1 some time ago, everything was good except some Wi-Fi problems which I somehow fixed with Bubba kernel. I decided to update my build after staying for a long time on the same one. So I downloaded the latest CM10.1 nightly, went on to install it, only to get surprised by a red sign on the recovery screen saying that the kernels don't match or is not compatible (or something similar). So I searched around to find a way to update my kernel but I was very confused with the guides I found, and as a result, I turned to TrickDroid with Sense 5, which I'm currently on.

It's time now to update again but I'm still confused about the whole thing. I have no idea where to start and that's the reason you're reading this thread right now.

My hboot is 1.13 and my baseband 0.16 (Europe). Also, I'm S-On and

not

SuperCID-ed.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Why not flash the boot.img from the New Build.zip as you are S-ON?
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Obviously I tried that with no luck.

But here's the thing. The CM thread says "you need to update your firmware to use the 3.4x kernel click me". I followed the tutorial provided and the update did not work. That's where I'm stuck.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Aahhh yess

Can you just run an RUU from your carrier? That's a one-stop solution: will upgrade your firmware and HBOOT and you should be good to go.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Can you guide me please?

I found a page with a bunch of RUUs but I don't know which one to run. Also, my One S was carrier locked but I unlocked it by following a tutorial I found in the forum. Does that mean I should run a carrier RUU?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Okay. Sure.

First, You will have to tell me your CID. You can find that out by getting CID GETTER from play store. It should tell you your CID in RED color.

Also, you run the RUU, it will upgrade you plus get you on stock, afterwards, IF it is locked again, you can unlock it and flash CM latest nightlies again. So no biggie there.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Hey thank you very much for your time.

The app says my CID is H3G_001
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
I suppose that is Three (3) UK .

Okay, I found that there is no JellyBean RUU for your carrier. Same as they did with HTC One X.

But here's the deal, after relocking your bootloader, you can use This RUU which is an ICS RUU.

It will bring you to Stock ICS without changing your HBOOT and firmware. Afterwards, you should check for System Updates and receive JellyBean OTA. So that will take you to JellyBean + 2.15.0000 HBOOT + Newer Firmware.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
OK so if I get it right... I lock my bootloader, run that RUU which will bring me back to ICS, update through OTA (does that work everywhere?) and then just do the rooting and recovery stuff again and install the latest CM build. Alright, I'll give it a shot!
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yeah, that's right.

Yes, udpdate through WiFi as it is a big update to JB OTA. works everywhere.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Also, I'll advise that you do a complete backup after you update to JellyBean, as I can see no JellyBean RUU/OTA for your carrier. So in case of any problems, you can restore NANDroid backups.

So, after JB update, flash a custom recovery (TWRP 2.3.3.0 preferable), before rooting and any other stuff, do a complete backup of BOOT+SYSTEM.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
You see, I got this One S from the UK locked to Three but I live elsewhere, so I unlocked with a method I found on the forums. Does the process change at all?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
nope. I think you should be able to unlock it using This method

IF

it locks after the update.

But before doing any stuff (unlocking, rooting etc), make nandroid backups of the new JB ROM. People have to strive really hard in absence of RUU, OTA.zip and NANDroids.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
That's how I did it :laugh:
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Great. shouldn't be a problem then.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
From what I see, TWRP needs root to install now (with the GooManager app). When I first installed it, I did it with a fastboot command since the recover was an image file.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
what recovery do you have right now?
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
TWRP actually. But it's ok, I found this. I thought the RUU would restore the HTC recovery.

Why do you suggest 2.3.0.0 though? Can't I update to the latest one (2.6)?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
If you want to root your device, just flash a flashable SuperSU.zip from recovery. Instant root.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

actually, I have been having issues with 2.6.0.0 flashing Carbon ROM. PACman worked fine. Can't say anything. Both worked okay with 2.3.3.0. You may give the latest a try.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Ughhh what the hell is this now. The RUU can't run.

I locked the bootloader, went on to run the RUU and this happened...
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Oh. Just yesterday, some folks reported unsuccessful and corrupt RUU downloads from androidruu site.

You may use this one Here
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Ah thank you so much! I just noticed that the download stopped at 100mb or so.

Btw, the One S at the moment is bootloader locked and stuck at the bootloader screen... should be normal.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yes no problem. Run the new RUU. Should work fine :thumbsup:
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Okay I can run the RUU now. It's asking me to turn on the phone, though I can't get past hboot screen. Is that a problem?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Get into Fastboot mode. Then run the RUU.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Awwww would you look at that hehe

Ok proceeding with the JB OTA.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Excellent :p I love good news

EDIT:

Do make a backup immediately after JB update. The process would be:

- JB Update

- Unlock bootloader again

- Flash TWRP

- Nandroid backup (Boot+system)
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Got'cha. ;)

It updated once. Turned out it was another 4.0 update. Now I'm updating to Jelly Bean.

By the way, I'm still carrier unlocked.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Great. Saves you the effort of unlocking. :good:
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Okay I backed up the boot and system partitions. Now I'll go ahead and install CM.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yes sir, you may now go ahead with installing custom ROMs. Congrats

Edit: Place that backup somewhere safe. PC/Cloud..
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
CM is up and running. I can't thank you enough for your help and your time! Again, thanks a ton! This thread is officially solved. :laugh:
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
No problem. Glad to help. :D

Please change the title to [SOLVED]

and

Save this Nandroid backup. Maybe you or someone from your carrier would need it in future.

Happy Flashing!
