[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] budgreen24:
I've tried to make this brief, but there's a lot to tell and this isn't a simple yes/no question.

After several hours of searching for answers with Google and here on XDA, I'm hoping I can find some help here. A friend's wife has a Verizon Galaxy Note II (SCH-i605) that was flashed to Boost Mobile a few months ago by some shady cellular store which no longer is in business. So taking the phone back to them isn't an option. They did a half-ass flash considering the device didn't have 3g or mms working. At some point within the last day or two a factory reset was done.

Here's where it gets weird. After the reset the phone no longer had service. No phone or (1x) data that it had up to that point. I was asked if I could figure out what was wrong. After a long time investigating the problem I finally discovered the reason the phone didn't have service any more was that the ESN didn't match the MEID! And no, it wasn't changed by my friend or his wife (they definitely have no idea how to do it). Nobody had done anything to the phone up to that point aside from the factory reset.

Some quick background info - when the phone was flashed it was done via MEID/ESN method. Let's not go into any detail on that. So after realizing that the current ESN (verizon) didn't match the current MEID (boost) I was puzzled. I'm not new to flashing, and have done a fewl flashes myself so I'm familiar with the whole procedure. What I don't understand is how/why this ESN change happened! I would have suspected someone tampering with the phone but it isn't possible.

Now, my friend lives on the east coast and I'm in California so I couldn't physically look at or do anything with the phone. So using TeamViewer I remotely connected to his computer and gave him instructions on what I needed him to physically do on the phone, and I operated the software. Connected to CDMA Workshop I looked everything over and the only problem I noticed was the mismatched ESN. Tried to change the it back with Workshop but it wouldn't stick. I didn't think it would, but tried anyway. I Tried again with DFS but it didnt work either. For reason unknown DFS didn't load the proper EQF for the phone, and instead used a generic Qualcomm EQF. Yellow light at the bottom instead of green. Long story short, I then noticed that the Boost Mobile NAM and data profile settings were gone as well. Strange, right? Especially since the MEID was showing the same Boost number that was there since the flash.

In my experience on Samsung devices, only the MEID needs to be written and the phone calculates and applies the ESN (or pESN). But this thing apparently has an IMEI which I'm not familiar with. Never owned a GSM phone. So I don't understand how the ESN could have changed/reverted itself, the NAM and data info reset, and so on. Can anyone with experience in this area give some input on what the problem would be and maybe even offer a solution? What is required to perform an MEID/ESN repair on this device? I want to do what I can to help him out because at this point his wife is very upset (to put it mildly), thinking it's his fault.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ma$etas:
Has he tried just going into a Verizon store I know that might seem dumb as an answer but you just go in and tell them to do a complete factory restore/reset.. have them change back the info.....

Not sure but if i remember correct if you use ODIN (havent used ODIN on this phone yet) theres a box to check to do factory restore or factory reset which will put all old info back ... I will look into it and reply back .. since i got my note 2 i have used odin again but when i had a epic 4g flashed to boost i remember i had to make sure that box wasnt checked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] budgreen24:
But you see...They don't want the Verizon settings on the phone. The Note 2 WAS flashed to Boost Mobile (which they currently use), but it's currently non usable because the Verizon setting already ARE back on the phone. That's half of the problem here. The other part of the problem is how to get the device back onto Boost's network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] budgreen24:
Update- just found out from DFS tech support that the demo version of this software isn't capable of writing meid or esn on this phone. An update costing $35 is required to have that ability. Is it possible with other software (free)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thecensor:
That's strange because I flashed an i605 from a Gusto with a demo of DFS and everything went fine including the ESN/MEID.

I now want to flash it to Boost mobile because the reception of Verizon isn't that much better in my area and I'm grandfathered in to the 10c a mintues pay as you go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beautifull Sicilian:
Note II

If I factory reset my note II will it still be flashed to Boostmobile? Do I re-sell it as Sprint or Boostmobile?

[Q] What is the "tell-tale traces" left by refurbished products that were opened?

I was reading about a thread (It was thread about buying a refurbished Nexus 7) that said

"The majority of times, refurbs aren't actually refurbs, but new units marked down and relabeled. It's one way to move excess inventory w/o impacting the SRP. That KF you got is most likely new.

BTW, you can definitively tell whether a CE is "new" or refurb by cracking it open. Those that have been opened (refurbed) will always leave tell-tale traces."

(Sorry for the author for this quote if you didn't want anyone to copy your stuff...)

I don't get the tell-tale traces he is talking about. How can I distinguish whether the refurbished product was previously used or not?

Please share your knowledge

Thanks!

PS I also don't get what "CE" means. For which it is acronym for?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackbeast8:
Hi all.

This is my first post here so forgive me if I've put it in the wrong forum.

I recently (6 days ago) bought a new phone, Ezio i95.

It looks like Samsung Galaxy S3/S4.

The specs are:

Quad core 1,8 GHz

2 GB RAM

Dual Sim

5" Super AMOLED screen (1920x1080), 440 ppi

But... In Antutu benchmark system info it correctly says that it is 1,8 GHz CPU (1741 MHz, to be precise). But, when I do the test, it sees only 1,2 GHz. When I try any app that does cpu scaling or any other cpu work, it also sees 1,2 GHz.

I searched for it on the net, but I didn't find anything conclusive. Actually, it seems that the CPU clock is really 1,2 GHz, but I don't know why and how do they sell it as 1,8. And how the hell Antutu sees it as 1,8?!?!?!

Here are screenshots:

h ttp://imageshack. us/f/9/kocl.png/

h ttp://imageshack. us/f/5/o0ph.png/

And here is from mediatek wiki:

MT6589[a]	Cortex A7 (ARMv7)	28 nm	1.2*GHz quad-core	PowerVR SGX544 @ 286*MHz

Any Ideas?!

Thanks in advance.

System won't let me to post a link, because I'm new, so I tried this workaround. Hope you don't mind. I've put two spaces.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmpm:
I am not familiar with the device or the ROM you are using (stock?). But if you install cpuspy it will tell you all the freqs that are allowed and how much time your cpu spends at each freq. My guess is that the freq table goes up to 1.8GHz but that somewhere the maxfreq is set to 1.2 GHz. You might be able to up the maxfreq using an app like setcpu. The cpu you have is rated to 1.2 GHz so any overclocking you do comes with the risk that you will damage your phone. Basically if the cpu is getting hot....better back off the overclocking.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackbeast8:
Every app I tried, including SetCPU and CpuSpy, shows 1,2 GHz as max frequency. As you can see on screenshots, Antutu benchmark shows in system info 1,8 GHz (1741 MHz actually), but in test it uses 1,2 GHz. TBH, the only place I saw 1,8 GHz was in Antutu, not anywhere else.

I contacted the seller, and he is trying to convince me that the phone has CPU Booster and that frequency is really 1,8 GHz. I now sent him screenshots in order to convince him that he is wrong...

I researched that cpu, mt5689 and its max freq is 1,2. mt5689T is 1,5 GHz, but this one is without T.

Kernel version is 3.4.5, from 19th June this year

Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P4, 2013/05/04

Android version is 4.2.3

I found some info about ROM: 06_v89_hydy_dangdang_gemi

h ttp://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4357/o0ph.png

If that anything means to you... :)

I am not trying to overclock my phone, I just want to be able to use what I've payed for. I could have bought 1,2 GHz, but I payed for this one and I want to use it, that's the poing... :)

Unfortunately, only after I bought it, I found all this. I didn't inform myself enough, before purchasing...

Thanks anyway
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackbeast8:
The seller is still trying to convince me that the max cpu freq is 1,8 GHz, with cpu booster, but I still cannot see or use it in any app, except that Antutu benchmark sees the 1,8 GHz as max, but still uses 1,2 GHz.

Chipset and cpu is rated to 1,2 GHz, as I saw on mt6589 reviews, so I think that I am fooled...

Good morning, my name is Jorge Martinez, I am another ezio buyer i95, I arrived with several flaws, the most serious the gps it is impossible to make it work, even after following many online tutorials.

The on / off button sometimes gets caught and resets.

The headphone connection is not good and sounds bad.

Reviewed this to the salesman told me they would give me support, etc, etc, told me I was going to wait to send another new model, gave me all kinds of options, but ultimately it only to gain time.

Once you pass the time of the vote, and has forgotten all its commitments and ripped me off.

I recommend everyone to not deal with the seller, who has only good words but deceives.

I hope my mistake serve for one to be saved from falling into this trap, but also effectively tells you it's quad core 1.8, it's actually 1.2.

Greetings all, I hope this information will be useful.

hi,

I have read that some of the specs get rewritten within the operating system to fool antutu.

However I am also after a copy of the stock rom. I have a enzio s89 that I have bricked before I made a rom copy. This ezio i95 uses the same processor and is about the same size Maybe it will work in mine.

Are you able to download MTK droid tools and make a copy of your stock rom please. That is always worth doing in any case.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] aGoGo:
With the price going down to 149$ is this a good buy?

My main use is reading books, magazines and occasional browsing with flipboard and pocket.

My main influence is the aspect ratio, since it's more suitable for magazines compared to other android tablets. not to mention the screen size for such price.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] move_over:
With the HD screen, decent cpu, ability to easily root or run cyanogen mod, for the price I think it's very much worth it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] e.mote:
>My main influence is the aspect ratio

My criteria were aspect ratio, size, and ongoing OS support. Nowaday there are many cheap tabs at close to $100 mark, but they're all 7" 16:10 AR, and most without continuing OS support. Thanks to verygreen and other helpful people here, the Nook HD/HD+ will live on past the B&N era. AFAIK, the Nooks--NC, NT, and HDs--are the only cheap tabs to have official CM support.

But as you mentioned it comes down to your uses. 7" is better for travelling, as well as things like GPS, cams, etc, which the Nook lacks. The HD+ is better if simply for its larger size and res, which are optimal for long-form reading and web browsing.

As for pricing, at some point it becomes petty to harp on the few dollars' difference. Yes, there's a big diff between $500 and $200, but $150-vs-200, not so much. Would you be willing to go across town to buy a 15-penny egg vs a 20-penny one here? Price shouldn't be the end-all. But if it comes to that, my last HD+ was a $120 refurb I bought for my mom, and I'm entirely satisfied with its like-new condition. It probably is new, but marked as refurb for clearance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] nimaim:
In addition to what e.mote already said (which I fully agree with), I think the main thing you have to decide is what you'll be using it for. It all comes down to personal use. Since you said it will be for reading books and mags and occasional browsing, the HD+ is perfect for that. I use it for the same purpose + watching TV with Dish Anywhere around the house + streaming movies / shows from my PC with Plex for Android. On the other hand, if you're going to be doing CPU/GPU intensive stuff like gaming, get the new Nexus 7. I got my HD+ for $120 @ Staples and that was too good to pass up and don't regret the purchase at all, especially with official CM support.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pdx1138:
I paid $ 180 for my HD+ and am very satisfied with it.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] BJGunner:
I have seen as low as $120 refurbished units from B&N which is pretty good. I bought mine at $149 and I have no regret even with all the crazy deals popping up later.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookE:
e.mote is spot on, but as for my $0.02 I am very happy with my nook HD+. It's my first tablet and I love the high resolution screen and it's plenty portable. I'm using it to watch my favorite tv shows from anywhere I happen to be and I love it! Not to mention that due to a shoulder injury I have been limited on how much I can sit at a computer and work, but with the tablet I can use it for hours without aggravating it. It is well worth the money in my mind.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Onageric:
I have a Nook Tablet. Still love it. The 7" format fits for my uses. Never the less. The HD+ is the biggest bang for the buck. Good engineering. It is quality. I read a lot and the HD+ 9" format is a big improvement. I watch Netflix on occasion and with this tablet it is big enough to enjoy a video without having to use glasses.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] TonyBigs:
It will always be a good (great?) portable media player. That's how I would view the HD+. Gorgeous screen, solid sound via headphones. Other tablets are going to have more cores and features and higher AnTuTu scores but this is a 1920x1280 IPS with 32GB on board for a low price. AND we're in Cyanogen builds -- support for the foreseeable future. That's a huge plus that everyone doesn't have.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Prof24:
I have an Acer a500 that is in a bad place and began looking for a tablet to replace it. Started out with a 7" 32GB Nexus v.1, but service plan and all was $248.00 - and right now we can't afford it. Read some more and the Nook HD+ really began to catch my eye...but again at that time, felt it was too much and took it back. Tried refurbed Acer A100 and it was AWFUL due to my high degree of near-sightedness. Took it back and went back to B&N and repurchased Nook HD+ with 16GB storage. As files are now accessible from cloud or google drive, and Nook has SD card slot, storage is not a huge issue.

Reason? I missed that 9" HD display for reading and web browsing, I'm not a huge B&N fan, but man did the HD+ sell me...and at $150, it's a definite steal. Seriously thinking about saving up enough money to buy a second one before too long, just to have to tiinker with.

Wonder when we'll get them?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] freecity:
When my Nexus 7 (2012) and HD+ are both available I consistently pick up the HD+ for the vast majority of uses. The screen size of the HD+ makes standard websites much easier to read, allow for more ebook content on the screen, and make it better for watching videos. In addition the sound of the HD+ is much better than the Nexus 7's. The Nook's negatives are that it is heavier and not as comfortable to hold but those are trade offs I'm happy to accept for the increased screen size. For my uses I don't notice much of a difference in speed.

Another thing to consider is the Nook's ability to run a custom ROM from an SD card without modifying the tablet's internal software. I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2 (the 4.3 version of Jellybean.) It's not perfect and has occasional problems including random reboots, but so does my Nexus 7 (to a lesser extent) when running stock software.

Overall after 4 months of ownership of the HD+ and 12 months with the Nexus 7, I think the Nook HD+ is well worth the $150 price even if it's being discontinued.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] nookdroidcm:
I have heard that the nook will be discontinued and that new versions will be released at the end of the year, I don't know which is true. Still a good device for the money. What makes this a great device are the smart people on this forum, verygreen especially (hat tip to you) and cross pollinators from other similar devices. It gets better with every release.

New Nook from 1SaleaDay has arrived

My 16GB Nook HD+ from 1Sale-a-Day arrived yesterday in pristine condition (likely completely unused, but refurbished in original box and with a warranty). I opened it up and went thru registration, and it immediately updated to 2.0.6. I added a few apps and then checked the software update button and it then updated to 2.1.1. Finally, I backed up, rooted, and added extras from Leapinar's thread. This was a little tricky and seemed to not work until I pushed in on the microSD while booting. That worked! I now have a perfectly functional Nook HD+ !! I love the great features, especially the screen resolution, and it is much more nimble than my old HP Touchpad. Overall I am VERY satisfied.
