[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rust991:
For some odd reason I can get it to flash on a stock odexed rom with root and recovery, but get a boot loop when I use a deodexed custom rom (stockrom v3.01)

It only force closes when you try to do anything on the stock odexed
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIRGIN KLM:
[MENTION=2176838]THEDEVIOUS1[/MENTION] Dunno if you're still working on this but I'm really interested in it.

Also I wanted you to know that for Tab 3 7.0 you could port it from SM-T217S that has native multiwindow instead of porting it from Tab 3 8.0 as the DPI would match perfectly and it wouldn't make anything crazy with any apps since the source is technicaly the same Tab but just the Sprint version.

As for Tab 3 10.1 when I get mine I'll test whatever you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
Can someone point me to a guide to accomplish this?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justinisloco:
Are you on ME7 or MDK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
thanks for responding...I have since found a way to get root but I was bricked for a while. Now i'm up and running. How would I know which of these I'm running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justinisloco:
Look for the following. In settings> more>about phone

If it is the mdk you have the option to root with options for custom ROMs, me7 is root only, no custom ROMs.

Well in that case, how did you do it from Mac? Luckily I have a big chunky dell for work so I have that option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oconnell84:
I used a Mac myself. To see if your on me7 goto settings then "about phone" which is under the more tab. Look at the last 3 digits of the baseband number. It will be either mdk or me7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
I am me7

I actually found a way to root on the device itself. I just copied the files to my sd and used the terminal emulator on the phone to root. I then went into quickboot/recovery and it put me into "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!" I finally got out of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justinisloco:
That's the only way to do it on me7. You will need windows I believe to revert back to stock for any reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
So can I do backups or any kind of recoveries with me7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oconnell84:
You can backup with titanium for apps but no recoveries yet. But it is coming soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
Nice! thanks

Hi to everyone

I have an xda (i believe its a wallaby) modelpw10a1 ram64mb. I want to unlock the unit, but have no idea where to begin.... i did follow peters advice for unlocking an xda 2 via the cradle/activesync/disable usb port method but nothing happens (apparently windows should recognise new devise)

is there a program i can run to unlock the xda1?

Another thing - i have just moved abroad to Thailand, the local gsm network here is very good so it shouldnt make any difference once it is (hopefully) unlocked?

Thasnks in advance

Stefan, thanks for the link. The problem now is that when i click on the link, i get a 'authenticode' warning pop-up that stops me from downloading it.... licsence could not be found etc etc.

Any clues?

Frustration

I managed to get the unlocking file, and copied over to my xda... but the first thing it says when i open it is 'error getting the unlock code'

Is there another file i can use? Am i using the wrong one?

Massive frustration!

I cant believe how hard this is. Have been on it all day! Everyone else on this forum seems to be unlocking easily, am i doing something silly here?

Thanks for the latest link Rudegar, but im having the same problem - it wont open. On clicking the link, Im asked the usual ''run file from current location or save to disk'' either one gives me the following error message;

''the publisher cannot be determined due to the problems below.....''

''authenticode signiture not found''

''access to the specified device path file denied''

So in short, i cant open it.

My friend sent me the XDAunlock zip file, i transfered to my XDA but it came up with

''error unlocking sim''

So thats obviously the wrong file for my XDA...

I read that the XDAunlock only works if it has the wireless feature? How do i find out if i have wireless or not?

Sorry for sounding so clueless here, but really i am not to sharp with this sort of thing. Ive allways used my XDA happily till i moved abroad, now im buggered if i cant unlock it!

Someone please help!!!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
i think the link i just gave to the allinOneUnlock thingy requires to be run from the pc while the xda is connected to activesync
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] moo-on:
tried that

Rudegar, appreciate you sticking with me here...

No, its not a question of the cradle being connected or not im afraid, i tried that allreeady with both the cradle connected and also disconnected. It just wont have it, im totaly lost!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
by cradle do you mean that you have tried with

the xda connected to activesync as in being connected after the sync is finished ?

or have you tried the xda connected but activesync not connected ?

have you tried another sim card to make sure it's still sim locked ?
[General Questions and Answers] Dudley3rd:
Is it possible to unlock an IMEI on your own, with just the key + provider + phone model?

I am kinda new to this and i got a few keys laying around here. Is there any way to just unlock them with by myself (without the phone, just the key), or should i use one of those websites that i find on google?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] neighborhoodhacker:
I'm fairly certain that it is incredibly illegal

You can't unlock an IMEI. You can change it, which is very illegal but there is nothing to unlock

Hi, do u have gaaps for note 2 gt-n7102?? I already flash latest stock rom, need playstore, anybody??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bepatientw/me:
Original Problem:

INSTALLATION - CALL QUALITY (RX/TX) - POOR SIGNAL

Problem found:

IF/CHARGING PORT - DAMAGE FWT - NO PCS SERVICE - NO PCS SERVICE

Solution:

REPLACED COMPONENT - REPLACED LCD - REPLACED TOUCHPANEL - REPLACED PBA

Here's why I sent it back to Sammy: I couldn't get a signal bar from a sprint tower ANYWHERE. No Data at all. No 3g, 4g, and the signal bar had a zero with a line through it. Funny thing? Roam got me a signal bar off a sprint tower...Dropped the phone on the charging cable and I think it messed up the usb charging/data port because I moved the cable a little and it would connect or disconnect, but it worked using another cable, no problems. Data Transfer/Charge etc. LCD screen and touchpad were EXCELLENT...So what's with all this stuff they did? I mean I am grateful, didn't cost me a dime (under warranty) but what's it all mean? BTW Sammy is the BEST! Even paid shipping there and back!

Original Problem:

INSTALLATION - CALL QUALITY (RX/TX) - POOR SIGNAL

********This is what you told them.

Problem found:

IF/CHARGING PORT - DAMAGE FWT - NO PCS SERVICE - NO PCS SERVICE

********after testing they concluded you cannot get signal just like you said. Also your charging port was malfunctioning.

Solution:

REPLACED COMPONENT - REPLACED LCD - REPLACED TOUCHPANEL - REPLACED PBA

*********some component was changed. Unknow without specs. Lcd and digitizer was replaced. The bottom buttons portion was replaced. Also your mainboard was replaced.

Next time you dont know I encourage you to search. You can use google. I find it much more reliable than the xda search function.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bepatientw/me:
Patrao_n,Thank you so much! Trust me, I did Google the hell out of it and even got some basketball game called PBA...lol But NOTHING as definitive as you just gave me here. I still don't know why the LCD and Digitizer and touchpanel was replaced? Hmmm. I can see the charging point, but all that other stuff? WOW... Those guys are thorough...My gratitude to you..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
No problem

sent from my Provari with a mini rda!

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Also they could have broken a ribbon cable or something on the screen and touchpanel while servicing. Which would explain why it was replaced.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Roland_D:
Hello everybody! I just got my SGS4 a couple of days ago... I handed my SGS3 down to my wife (running beans 18 what a monster!) and headed for the forum to see how to root and unlock this puppy... When I saw that Beans was rolling out his rom for s4 I knew I did the right thing... If i only knew... While I was tinkering with my phone a new update notification came up and without thinking I just accepted it (being used to accepting updates on my nexus 7 unrooted and never worrying about otas for my phone) as it turns out I had an MDK phone, now no more... and the more I read on the forums the more I wanna kick myself in the face for being so naive... Especially because I used to be a moto owner!

Well after my sad story I got a couple of questions... I rooted my me7 what app do I freeze to avoid otas?

And another trickier question can any knowledgeable user explain (dumbing it down a little) why some phone's boot loader cannot be unlocked ever? Just out of curiosity...

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] templton:
Never really did pay much attention to this me7 but I never took the update, does this mean my bootloader is unlocked???

As for having a locked bootloader its probably just a matter of time before someone finds a way to unlock it.. Let's hope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
There's a lot of talk about this ME7 disappointment. So much so, that it has it's own thread for all things related to it.

That being said; freeze SDM.apk, FWupdate.apk, and I think someone mentioned Keychain.apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bfmetcalf:
Your bootloader is still locked, but there is an exploit that allows you to install ROM's and Kernels just like if it was unlocked, as long as you are on the mdk build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trook:
Have it Jtagged back to MDK or wait for safestrap. I used safestrap on the bionic, it's an excellent app that will allow ME7 peeps to run custom roms.

Don't worry, you have options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAppleAndroidGuy:
I did the exact same as you my friend, I feel your pain... :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
jtagged?

How is this accomplished, jtagged?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Jtagging involved taking the phone apart and jumpering two points on your board. This has been used on HTC to achieve s-off on some devices. It's very risky as you have to solder them. I have not heard of anyone doing it on the s4. Or any Sammy device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BradyT88:
I am in your same boat man... Got my phone a week ago and just carelessly did the update and found out later that day I shouldn't of... Oh well, liv and learn I guess.

There is a guy on here who said he can Jtagg the S4 ME7 back to MDK, but at the moment he is only doing it for devs in order for them to keep working towards unlocking the boot loader.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] UnexplainedBacon:
Howdy,

This may be a dumb question but is there no contextual menu in stock Android? I know that many apps have the icon that is three vertical dots but on my Note 2 I can bring up a menu in any app by pressing the the menu nav button. I know that's a Samsung button, but is that entire pop up menu feature not in stock? I am sort of lost without it. For example, I can't find My Apps on the Play Store. On my Note 2 its listed in the pop up menu. On my Nexus 7.... I have no idea. I feel like I've looked everywhere. The three dot menu doesn't list it.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] UnexplainedBacon:
OK I found my apps (tap little download icon) but still wondering in general. That pop up menu is really handy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] blackhand1001:
The three dots will come up in the bottom right corner when an older app still needs it. Overflow actions are being moved to the actionbar for devices without a hardware menu button. I recommend getting used to apps having the button on the action bar. It makes it much easier to know when there are available overflow options.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] samnoon:
The problem with the menu button is that it was always there, whether it did anything or not. It was impossible to know if you could bring up a menu without trying it on each screen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] blackhand1001:
Exactly. That's why I am glad google is phasing it out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Custom ROMs, you can make a permanent menu button. Mostly goes unused though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] UnexplainedBacon:
OK, thanks guys. I will learn to live without it. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] khaytsus:
Um.. First off, on tablet sized devices the Play store has a dedicated Download/My Apps button at the top. Second, my Nexus 7 (OG) on 4.3 has the overflow button in the top-right corner.. Yours does not??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Anyone know of a way to customize these on 4.3 roms? I use to use Metamorph and Zipthemer on 4.2.2 and lower roms but can't get any of these methods to work on 4.3 based roms. Thanks.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monty11ez:
My girlfriend has a Defy XT and she wants me to to make wifi tethering work. It is a Republic Wireless phone. I read up on how to root it, but does anyone know how to enable the portable hot spot capability? I also realize that this is completely opposite to what the company is all about. lol
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monty11ez:
Bluetooth tethering would work too. She just needs something to play Ingress on that will run it better. Any help would be appreciated.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Have you tried one of the play store apps? Like the OpenGarden one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WastedPotential:
I was flashing a new ROM to my Sprint S3 when I accidentally wiped internal storage (where I had my backup and my CM). Now I have no OS and no recovery files on my phone. I backed everything up on TiBu and moved the files to my laptop just in case, but I cant figure out how to access them from TWRP. Any ideas? Im trying not to panick because I know you guys can fix pretty much anything, but I need my phone for work in the morning. Thanks in advance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
You need to go into advanced settings in TWRP and sideload a rom, or if you have a sdcard reader put it in your pc and load a rom onto it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WastedPotential:
Thank you!

:good: Worked perfectly and was very painless. Thanks for coming through for me. Any recommendations on a kernel to go along with CM10.2.1 (Stable)?

I was thinking of going with leankernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I don't have a kernel recommendation, sorry. I actually only use TW roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Honestly, it all depends on your personal phone. My friends seem to work better with a 3rd party kernel while mine only works well with the stock CM one or Touchwiz one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WastedPotential:
One more problem: I had everything backed-up on TiBu, but that includes bloatware that I am trying to get rid of. How can i just import contacts, without anything else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm not sure, all my contacts are saved in Google.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WastedPotential:
For future reference, how does one accomplish this?

Anybody have any other ideas? I tried syncing but Facebook has more numbers than any of my other networks and it doesnt seem to sync, even after reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] krs_uno:
Did you try going into settings, then adding facebook as an account? I always use google to auto sync contacts it makes things easier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WastedPotential:
I did. I have rebooted and resynced, still nothing. It even has a little check mark next to it, so it thinks its synced. Could it have something to do with my fb security settings?

How do I autosync my google account and contacts?

Sorry for the tidal wave of questions. You guys (and gals?) have been really great!

Does the htc one still get extremely hot? I would like to know because I'm stuck on 4.1.2 in the USA and am patiently waiting for 4.3 and I'm curious if that was fixed in 4.2.2
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridearoundsolo:
Bump, I would really like to know this I just want a simple yes or no to if the phone still gets really hot after the 4.2 update
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celelivada:
So far I didn't see the phone get hot. It can get a bit warm but nothing else. All stock 4.2.2
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridearoundsolo:
Thank u, warm doesn't sound bad so my only flaw with this phone will be fixed when I get my ota!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
One reply can't tell you anything. It depends heavily on how it's used and what's installed.

Keep in mind this phone has a metal case so heat from inside is conducted out much more easily, so it feels hotter than a phone with a plastic shell. This is actually a good thing since it means the phone can cool itself more easily.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] authmn:
Hot whenever i play my games > 30min Or Youtube > 30min

Any other usage doesnt seem to make it hot.

As i am from singapore, the surrounding environment alone makes it feels warmer already
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianE46:
It only gets too hot (but not extremely hot) if it's on a charger and I'm playing graphics intensive games or watching YouTube for half an hour. But that's normal. Any electronic device produces heat. And without an effective cooler it is 100% impossible for any device not to get hot when "under heavy load".

TLDR: it gets hot when pushed but not out of the ordinary.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridearoundsolo:
Yea see I understand it will get hot under certain circumstances but I was curious if the heat felt more tamed after the 4.2 update
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
heat is reduced in 4.2, they changed the thermal configurations. but i have no idea where you live. if youre in singapore, then theres no way itll stay cold. if you live in greenland then itll never get hot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpeet666:
From what i read, the metal casing acts as the heatsink for the CPU, so really all that heat you can feel is whats being taken away from the inside which is pretty much a good thing
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianE46:
Let me put it another way: the heat is absolutely not a problem.

Don't know how it was on 4.1.2 since i got mine a little later when 4.2.2 was already available and i downloaded it in the first 5 minutes. :)
