[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] janjannsen99:
ya I love in Charlotte and there are multiple shops in the seedier areas of town that actually have signs in their Window that says "we flash phones" so I went in one day and asked them what do they mean by "we flash phones" and they really wouldn't say, just that they repair phones that have problems getting onto the network. I'm sure that's what they're doing on the low. There's some legitimate repair places that fix cracked screens and so on but there's a lot more that clone phones change I me is and mess with things they aren't supposed too. They always seem to be in like the most hard to see places too. like way off to the side of the run down strip malls and such. Some of them don't even let you in unless they know you

Actually I would never. Bring my phone in there to have anything done they probably break more than they fix. besides I have most of the tools on my computer to do anything that they can do.

Alternately one can also not be in the market for, or willing to buy a stolen phone. Without demand for stolen phones why would the thief be risking arrest to steal it?

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SlakWReX:
Maybe you should read before assuming. I never bought this phone with the knowledge of it being stolen. I bought it of some one who claimed it was there's. I also called T-Mobile and got the IMEI checked by them to make sure it wasn't. Everything checked out and that was when I paid 380$ for it. I got the box and all with it which also convinced me it was legit. For all I know the guy sold me his phone and then did an insurance claim. Next time you want to be a smart ass check your sources.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
The discussion shifted to rationale for illegally changing the identity of a phone. I posed a hypothetical in response to your statement. I made no assumptions, and merely responded to your statement.

You took it personally for reasons (assumptions?) that are entirely your own. Your reasons for defensiveness are similarly your own.

Name calling only degrades your image, you would be well served to refrain from such in the future.

I hope your day gets better.

#1: Don't bump your thread three times in one day, it pisses people off, and you won't get any help.

#2: Why would you want to disable it if you're not in a call anyway?[/list]
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] neckarb:
this is the fourth forum i have asked this fairly simple question and i have not once recieved a yes or no answer, i havent recieved any answers ive recieved questions i.e. why do you wanna do that. what for, who are you, etc etc please someone just tell me
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] adit:
no u st**pid f**k!!! read the other thread before opening a new thread!!!

i have read it and found no mention of disabling the mic. thanks for the help though, real usefull.

so i still havent got an answer then?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fone_fanatic:
i use a BT headset and its not even connected when not in a call.. only when i make a call or recieve a call does the phone connect to the headset... so i dont know what your askin for.. sorry
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] neckarb:
i am asking the fantastically simple question, how do you turn the microphone on an imate JAM OFFFFFFFF!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
neckarb - I'm sorry you're getting so stressed mate. I'll tell you what I know, and I hope it helps.

Basically, it's not possible to have manual control of the microphone. There's no sound mixer controls manually accessible to users, so no, you can't switch it off easily. However, if you want to try and figure out if there is a more technical way to do this, look into the Multimedia SDK on MSDN.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] neckarb:
thank you so much mate your the first one with a straight answer, thank you again.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Echilon:
The microphone's not active if you're not in a call anyway. The only possible reason you'd need to turn the mic off is if you're in a call (there's a mute options for it), or if you were recording, in which case, stop recording. Please FOAD, and stop treating people as if they were put on earth to answer your pointless pathetic questions!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] neckarb:
its because im using bt ms voice command, which leaves the mic on the magician on while im using the headset for voice command.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] philliplavelle:
Hi there.

Not sure if this is the correct section but hoping so.

I'm currently running a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 but trading it in for a Note 8.

I really love the homescreen on the Tab 3 8.0 - notably Samsung’s touch wiz widget that comes as standard on this device and also on my galaxy S4. I hate the ones on the Note 8 which is basically the old Galaxy S3 weather widget.

From what I can gather, it's pay off the ROM as the widget doesn't appear to be available on the market and it also doesn't work on this party launchers.

So my question is this. Is there a way to get it on the Note 8? The genuine article? Is there a ROM that basically emulates the stock expedience but gives the Note 8 that updated Samsung look that is present in the S4 and Tab 3 please?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cruise350:
Not sure, but I think they will update the Touch wiz version when we get the 4.2.2 JB upgrade. Those that have installed the leaked update may be able to chime in. If they did then you will get the new widget.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:
The 4.2.2 update removed the weather widget altogether. .:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] edan1979:
i'll see if we can take it from tab 3 8.0 dump firmware... if it exist...

edit.

This one? I pull this out from tab 3 8.0 firmware?

i think it is... a flashable zip using cwm. whoever that just root the device and dont have cwm/twrp can just unzip the files and copy to system/app folder and make sure the permission are rw_r__r__

can be use by odex/deodex system. odex system need to manually delete the .odex files first
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] philliplavelle:

So many of you have encountered my numerous posts here, because I had problems with my phone, and I gave up. so I wanna send it for repairs soon. So is this still eligible for warranty?

Here's what I did:

1-update OTA to 4.1.2

2-Root using the Note 2 Toolkit

3-While Rooted install S3 Rom by mistake. Corrupt EFS (backed up)

4-Install Stock 4.1.2 XEF, same build, Different Modem.

5-Downgrade to 4.1.2 January. XEF.

6-Triangle Away to Reset Stats:

No

Samsung Firmware

Official

7-Odin Pro Flash Stock 4.1.2 June.

8-Status show :Modified.

9-Recovery Mode (VolUp), Reset Data/Cache

10-Status show: Normal

11-IMEI/CP still corrupted. Can't restore.

12-Flash original Modem that came with phone (which Idk why doesn't work) DMF1.

Now I have Root (no busybox), and I'm backing up all my apps, then what I'm gonna do is simply uninstall ODIN Pro (as it became a system app), uninstall all Root Apps. Then SuperSU: Full UnRoot.

hopefully no one can tell it was rooted.

thanks

Just in case I'm gonna provide them with my EFS backup, maybe they can sort stuff out. or maybe they will know that it was rooted?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laziafbaito:
As long as the status of your device is modified, then no.

Reseting the binary counter via triangle away is a must, well for me.

I already set that after performing a full wipe my status are normal again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBariya:
Do full wipe after uninstalling root app.

And again check status in download mode.

It is advisable to flash stock rom once again after unroot for double verification.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyvang101:
Or simply hard brick it. thats what i did. then tolled them that i installed a Update and the phone went Dead after that they. they replaced the Main board on the phone because they where unable to fix my EFS problem. and now its working perfectly again. so either triangle away or hard brick it.

If you hard brick it they have to prove that you caused the failur of the phone wich the cant and they will just repair it and send it back to you

OK i got given a file to supposedly root a phone and without thinking to question it i went along and ran it

The root did work but it has now seemed to have enabled dual sim options on the phone, but the phone no longer detects the sim in slot 1 or 2 software side.

As android was booting i got the updating android message and then seen the 2 sim slots near the clock

Can't figure out what it's done but heres the batch file after changing the extension from exe to rar

I have a Motorola Droid RAZR HD XT926 (CDMA for Verizon Wireless). I was running root stock ROM on it, and have run into the following problems:

Phone boot is stuck at Motorola logo.

Attempting to go into recovery (ClockworkMod) gives errors that it can't mount any directory (cache, system, etc).

Attempting to RSDLite back to stock fails (on step 1 out of 6 - boot.img - phone returned FAIL).

Attempts to use Droid RAZR HD Toolkit v1.21 and flashing system.img fails (unable to format remote storage).

Anything else worth trying? Or is this hard-bricked, and going on eBay for parts?

Thank you.

How long should it take for RSD to load the 27 files?

I was trying to FXZ back to stock JB but the boot.img file 10MB too about an hour, so I looked at the next file and it was system.... something and it was over 300 MB anyway quick math it would be days to complete so I stopped it and UT oh got the phone back to booting but then it bricked but that's another story.... How long should it take RSD to load the FXZ files?

Thanks,

Have you try flashing it through fastboot? something like

fastboot

So you are saying fastboot will take a loooong time to load? I need to get back to factory fresh.... What is the best way to do that without taking 3 days?

I have a Razr Maxx HD on JB and have run djbliss recovery but the phone is still rooted afterward. The phone wants to upgrade to KItKat but I have not allowed that since I have heard about some problems for the XT926.... What do you say? If I could just let it upgrade that may be the easiest path but I just want the thing working again.

On those code lines do I just type that in to a command prompt? Somewhat of a noob so can you give me specifics?

Thanks.

ps. Amazingly my phone was bricked. Black, nothing not fastboot no usb port showing up.... I plugged in to wall charger and after about 24 hours I noticed the green light was on ... I pressed the power button, the battery icon showed 3%. A couple minutes later (after I had pressed the power button) it was 12%. Can you explain that? I guess just enough juice trickles in to eventually get a little charge in .... slow enough to maybe make some people go and get a new phone!

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Ok so I looked at djrbliss batch file and see he is using "fastboot" so yes I have tried that. and it runs through it but the phone is still rooted. Did something go wrong?

Also, VRZ_XT926_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.xml appears to be a newer file then he uses but one difference I noticed. "system.img" .... in this file it is "system.img.ext4" Can you explain that?

Thanks.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i did not intend to imply the process took a day to flash, "all day long" is merely 'slang' implying it could do it at any time.

the flash could take any where from a few minutes to as long as 15, however 5min or so is most common.

razr utility from the dev forum will restore your phone to factory. make sure you get the correct version, or a newer one is fine too.

not sure what you mean by "have run djbliss recovery", i wasnt aware he made recoveries. can you provide a link so i can see what your talking about.

if you upgrade to the FIRST kk build, you can unlock the bootloader, then if you dont like kk, you can flash back to jb.

yes you can just enter those into a command prompt, but your phone has to be in fastboot, and you have to have adb and fastboot installed on your pc or it wont work.

i can only assume your battery charging issues are a result of running it completely dead. thats not a good idea, and wont always charge back up no matter how long its plugged in. i would consider yourself lucky on that and try not to do it again.

i cant comment on this "Ok so I looked at djrbliss batch file...." until i see what you are talking about.

i dont know the reason for the "ext" extension. either the partition format changed, or some other reason i cant explain.

as long as you flash all the files in any build, there should be no issues.

Back to fresh & JB vs KK

Thanks for your info! I didn't realize the battery was drained! You are right I was very lucky. I ordered a usb programming adapter from Black Hat.

Yes all of those (adb & fastboot) seem to be present from the Droid Razr Utility 1.21. Which is where djrbliss batch file came from (windowsutility.bat) .... Here is the link from where I got it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2307439

Also, here is the link to the (looks like) newer JB XML http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5 vs the one that was in the Utility 1.21. This has the "system.img.ext4"

Additionally I have a mac but I don't seem to get good results when I try to use the mac.... failure messages. Does that have anything to do with the usb setting in the phone of MTP or Camera? (debugging is on)

All of this is because my phone doesn't receive text messages on pageplus since trying to unflash and upgrading to 4G. Everything else worked fine calls, data and can send text and I just wanted to try and get back to a totally fresh install to see if that made a difference.

Could the long write time in RSD Lite be due to using a virtual Windows 7 on fusion?

So what is your opinion on Kit Kat? Is it worth the upgrade? Is there anything really gained? I am content with JB but if there are some cool user features or something .... my battery lasts 2 days under JB so that really isn't an issue but hey if KK makes it go even longer that would be a +.

Thanks again.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
thats Matt's utility, not Dan's, the same one i maintain here since Matt stopped.

unfortunately, i havent been updating the mac and osx files, so i doubt you can use it directly on a mac. maybe with a virtual setup, but im no expert on that.

if you are happy with your setup, i would just try to re-flash that if need be. mainly the system, if nothing else, then factory reset, or -w command in fastboot.

everyone's option off kk will be different, i dont think its worth leaving something that you like for though.

if you can use a windows machine for 15min or so, you can use this guide to flash kk, root, unlock the bootloader, then flash back to jb if you dont like it. if you update past the first kk to the current one before unlocking, you will not be able to go back to jb, ever. just a fyi.

RSD vs Fastboot

Thanks for the info.

So what is the difference between doing a flash with RSD and using the Utility(or fastboot)? Is one more complete? When I used the utility I was still rooted, so in my mind that is not factory fresh and I had killed the sound on boot up and that is still silent.

What does the -w do?

Is RSD flasher just a fancy automated way of doing an RSD flash?

Did you figure out what the ".ext4" was on the end of the system.img.ext4? VRZ_XT926_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.xml

I'm starting to get my head around some of this but wow there is a lot to it!

Thanks for your help.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
fastboot can do a bit more than rsd and you can flash one file or many rather easily.

most of the utilites only contain key files needed to upgrade or re-flash, regardless if they were changed. i only made 2 builds with a complete flash, v-1.4 and v-1.41.

about root, im pretty sure i have never had that happen, and i have flashed quite a bit. maybe i just never noticed. i believe the system would need to be formatted to completely clean it, but i dont know if its done by default or not. did the system flash properly in the utility? all pass no fail?

if you used the wrong version, some things would fail if your bootloader is locked.

-w is basically a factory reset.

i didnt look into the ext extension.

Thanks.

ps running RSD and it appears to hang at system .... has run for 20 minutes so far. This is where I pulled the plug when 'boot' took an hour on my virtual windows 7. This time boot took less than a second on a real windows 7 machine. I just saw it flash up and it was done.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
its acting like you are using too old version of the script or something else unexpected is happening. not everything is failing, thats good. usually means its fixable.

if you are trying to flash jb, use this. it should either fix the problem, or the output failures will let me know what to try next.

if you were trying to flash kk then use this.

dont try the kk version if you havent tried to flash kk yet! it should work, i just dont want to further complicate this if it doesnt.

the getvar line is removed from the utilities and you should edit it out of the xml file if flashing with rsd.

the problem with rsd right now is it cant re-partition the phone unless you are upgrading. im trying to re-partition it for you as is, which mfastboot can do. mfastboot is what the utilities above use, and the partition files, which are not included in the general versions of the script.

post your results and well go from there.
