someone plese help me!

i've got a samsung galaxy s2 hd lte (sgh-i757m)...and i'm having problems finding much information for my phone on here...i know its older, but i just got it...i finally managed to root it using a galaxy s3 sgh i757 root....here is my problem...i'm sooooo confused!....when i rooted it i kept the stock rom that was on there... ics 4.0.4....and it had the dialer and the contacts apk that i love...the one you can slide left or right to call or text....since then i've updated to cyanogenmod 9, and love all the features of it, but it looks like it has the jellbean contacts apk...the real ugly white one that can't swipe left to right to text ect....I've found some downloads of the old contacts apk, but am having no luck installing them!....I've even tied restoring to the old stock rom, then copying the contacts apk into the downloads file, then re-load cm9 and move the contacts apk into the system/apps folder to replace the one's already in there but no luck.....this is soooooo frustrating!.....

.i have to admit i'm a bit of a noob...but both my stock rom and the cm9 show as 4.0.4, so should the contact apk not be transferable???? and why are they different in the first place!!!....I've enabled unknown sources to allow third party apps, and i've changed permissions in the apk to rw-r--r-- and replaced the contacts apk then reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot, and nothing....then i've tried to install apk.......and it shows installing, and the working blue bar, then just says "application not installed"...wtf???...i'm so frustrated!....is there something i'm missing with the owner/groups thing?....i just really want to make this happen....i've spent at least 12 hours on it already.....

please help!!!!!!

I'm planning getting LG 4X HD and let go of my Galaxy SII, What do you guys think???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
I'd go for the HTC one X or s3 mate. In tests it's slow than both of these and read about ram problem when upgraded to jb. But at the end of the day it's your choice. And you will have to live with that choice. :thumbup:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H3llwar:
The SII is a great phone with great developers and a great community. You're gonna miss this on the 4X HD.

My advice: Get a Nexus 4 for 200 bucks if you need a new phone: It beats the 4X HD in most, nearly all, points and delivers the pure Nexus user experience. I'm gonna order one in a few days :)

Hey guys

Do any of you know if there is a camera connection kit available for the note 8.0 would really be a useful addition to it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] RavenY2K3:
Only OTG cables, you can pretty much connect all sorts of storage media, with one. Whether plugging your camera into it, will work or not, is a case of try it and see.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hiya1987:
Well it's more for taking my sd card put of my camera and pluging it in. Would it work with out rooting it?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] RavenY2K3:
No root needed, to take the card out and use it with your tab, you will need a USB card reader and the aforementioned OTG cable, that's it.

hey guys I am working at a new job that gave me a samsung rugby and I need to use the Bell PTT function with it all day long to communicate. I have my own phone, a Nexus 4. Is it possible for me to use one of the other PTT apps and connect with everyone from the company or is it not possible because it uses Bell's PTT system?

Would love to not have to pay the extra $60 they charge me for this phone every month...

Which are all the Phones with - 1 GHz Qualcomm CPU ?

& which is Best of them all ?
[General Topics] Tabbe:
wah, you even bring back a 2005 post about 1ghz cpu haha..

and since intel already have monahans chips out that can go up to 1ghz and even sold to marvell now, they have pxA930 tavor new chip which can run higher than 1ghz.

but xscale chip are not widely used now due to price. hence now we only get most of the pda with qualcomm chip

we have to get a snapdragon device and do a benchmark with intel monahans and tavor first

qualcomm video driver is always a problem to everyone holding onto HTC devices playback dvd resolution.

so far comparsion with intel xscale & qualcomm qtv driver, intel is still the winner.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirdg:
Hi,

I recently purchased a brand new Telus HTC One off someone on Kijiji, and today I tried to activate the SIM card and register it on the Telus network. In hindsight, I should have activated the phone first with the stock ROM, but I didn't want to activate it before I got my case which took a couple of weeks to arrive. During that time I experimented with a few different ROMs, but failed to make a backup of my original stock ROM.

Thinking the SIM card was bad, I purchased another new one today, but I'm still receiving the same results.

Every time I try to register the phone to the network with the new SIM card, I receive the following error messages.

Phone Information > Turn off radio > press the option twice

Settings > Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators > Search Networks

Settings > Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators > Select Automatically

Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

Does anyone have a backup of the stock Telus ROM and recovery image they'd be willing to share, so I can restore back to the original state?

Please let me know.

TIA,

WG

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirdg:
I'm starting to wonder that now. I flashed the firmware from the Telus OTA file, and I'm still getting the error. As a last ditch effort, I tried to unlock the phone. The phone unlocked, but I still can't connect to the Telus network. I've done everything I can think of, and now I'm ready to throw in the towel.

If Telus did blacklist the IMEI number, that just means it won't work on Telus right? In theory, it should still work on any other non-Telus supported carrier, correct?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
I'm not sure about there, but here the blacklist is shared across all carriers, so it is blocked from all

Try to flash 2.1 firmware using flashtool
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Hi Bro, Try This Method:

1. Flash The 2.1 Stock ROM From SEUS.

2. After You Flash 2.1, Verify Your Phone If Its Rooted Or Not.

If have superuser app at menu, it means Your Phone is Rooted.(Proceed To Step 3)

if There Is No superuser App to your phone, it means you need to Root Your phone And Unlock the bootloader again

3. Install xRecovery to your phone

4. after That, Backup Your Personal files(Apk,sms,contact etc)

5. Backup Via xRecovery

6. Flash nAa-14 kernel then boot to recovery mode Then Flash MiniCM7 2.2.2 or Other GB Rom

7. Thats it...

before flashing ROM i did...

- flash boot.img

Can someone tell me what's wrong? ... or what i do wrong? ... or what i have to do that it works?

I noticed in your steps you didn't wipe cache! Not sure if it would make any difference or if you did do it and left it out of your post. Give it a try.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Assert fail .....is that all the text from the error ? can be aroma related. I think you have to add the hboot in a file in the aroma installer.

I described it here

Yes i did...

[HTC One X] smack67:
Ok then ...

tried your tip with viper, maximus, carbon... did not work

It can not be a aroma failure because revolution works fine

Any other idea?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flash philz 5.15, download the rom of choice, flash the boot.img, enter recovery :

Factory reset

Wipe cache partition

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Excessumcarcer:
So, I have the i545, it was updated to the newest firmware when I got it. Lucky!

I first tried all the old stuff like the noob I am. Bricked it a couple times, blah blah, fixed it.

I tried the newer stuff, and was successful in getting into the recovery, but all I can do is wipe personal data and cache, its not CWM. When I do, it gets locked into download odin section and says its broken essentially.

Any bootloader bricks it, and any attempt to do the newer stuff like Loki has bricked it. I have the original Rom saved, so I just have to push it through odin each time.

I want Hyperdrive rom, I am rooted, and I can't get the common "working" ways to work. What am I doing wrong? I just tried the loki method and it locked into odin download when it restarted.

I'm not frustrated at anyone here by any means, I know the big companies are jerks, and....I need help side stepping them...

Any suggestions?

Again, i545, 32gb, Verizon Galaxy s4. It is rooted. And I want Hyperdrive rom.

Thanks!

EDIT.

If there is a way through odin or something to push Hyperdrive, I dont need the CWM. Im just a simple custom rom user, nothing crazy. And if there is no way to go from the ME7 update, be it downgrade and then root and flash, be it odin, be in CWM or Loki method, etc., where do I go to add to the bounty?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:

It would have helped you greatly to have research GS4 with ME7....it can ONLY be rooted at this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Excessumcarcer:
The first time it bricked itself I did some research. Found that the ME7 was a punk, found guides where people claimed to have gotten around it, which all failed. I presumed it had been cracked if there were ways posted, but after they failed I came here. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
It bricked "itself" pretty amazing. You should do a little research before you mess with your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Excessumcarcer:
Ugh, I could explain everything in detail and not joke around, but then I'd just be a jerk. I've rooted, installed bootloaders, roms, etc., on many phones, not just mine. I know what I'm doing so generally I don't have to research how to do it. I upgraded from a galaxy S3 with MOAR (rom) installed, also did paranoid rom right before, jumped in and hoped that the S4 would play nice. It didn't. And you won't find a post from me asking how to unbrick it. The original Rom was backed up, so nothing to fear. I understand that bricking a phone is part of the risk, and unbricking it is part of the knowledge one needs to jump in comfortably. I did it 8 times yesterday. :) I tried 5 methods, one I tried a couple times because I could get into the bootloader but it would freeze on removing the cache. After each different combo, it killed it. Once I felt defeated for the day I came here. Believe me, Im not the person who turns on their phone and posts for help about what to do after its on. ^_^

Read the thread about SafeStrap being worked on by hashcode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Excessumcarcer:
Thats the only way I learn. : ) Following the 50 million different articles and blogs and tutorials is the only way I ever find anything. Rarely do I get a piece of equipment that just works the first time with the common used method for it. That's never my luck. There's always something stupid that stops it. This is the same with everything in truth, cars, computers, phones, etc. Nothing has ever just worked for me. So, now I just throw things at it until something goes through. People say there's no way, well...if that's the case then all the DEV's should stop trying. lol. There is a way, we just have to find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
Well, every phone is different and just jumping in on a new phone without knowing the issues and pitfalls because you rooted other phones being naive imo. I've rooted maybe a half dozen phones and countless roms but when i got my S4 i still waited a few days and just read. The point is no matter how many times you do something whenever you get something new/updated, be a phone or anything else, you should always take the time to read and read.

Edit:

Also because of these locked down bootloaders (like the sammy knox) i would if i were you do A LOT of reading before buying new phones in the future to make sure you CAN root and slap a custom recovery on it. The root and custom recoveries may be a thing of the past pretty soon and we'll be purchasing Developers and Google Play editions if we want custom stuff.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] predstitans3797:
I have a Galaxy SIII, was using it today, and suddenly it turned off. I thought it ran out of battery, but when I plugged it in and tried turning it on, it went through the start-up process, and just looped with the Samsung logo flashing with the blue in the background. I can get into recovery and download modes, and I tried both using Odin and doing a stock reset in the stock recovery mode. This phone has never been rooted, and the only custom thing that I used is an SD Card and a Mybat 2100 mAh Battery. I had another Galaxy S3 a few months ago that got hard bricked due to custom software, but thanks to AT&T's 9 month warranty, I was able to get that replaced. I really don't want to go through that whole process again, so any help will be awesome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DICKDELT:
Phone: Feiteng A7100 SPREADTRUM SC6820A Chinese S 3 Clone. I can toggle the GPS widget in the status bar on and off. However, when I try to run a gps APP (GPS Test, GPS Status, GPS Status & Tools , Lookout) they all say that the GPS is disabled even though the status bar shows that is on. If I tap the disabled the all open the Location & security section in Settings. On my phone there is no GPS enable/disable item in that section. The closest item is Use wireless networks for map APPs for location.

Does this mean the phone does not have GPS or can it be controlled by an app? Or is it a configuration problem with the operating system? The phone claims that it is 4.1.1 but I've seen a number of posts that say it is really 2.5.3.
