[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrustyQ-tip:
Hello,

I'm looking for some help with my son's sgh-i757m phone. I'll try layout my history on the phone and question in some hopefully easy layout.

What I did

at my son's request, I changed the stock rom on my son's sgh-i757m (Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE) for him. He wanted to be able to install apps and customize his phone as he wished. i installed the paranoid android rom for him successfully.

Problem

Once installed he began losing cell phone network connection. This progressively got worse and now it barely works.

My troubleshooting

I tried installing other custom rom's to see if this would resolve the problem. Nothing seems to work. The present rom I have which is Dadoes. This one seems to work the best BUT i only get signal within 1 block of the cell phone tower. (oh ya... i live in a small town where we only have two cell towers in the valley here.)

I tried researching terminal commands to boost the radio signal but I haven't found anything for the sgh-i757m.

I've also done the *#*#4636#*#* trick... nothing... i've installed network boosters but those don't do anything.

What Haven't I done

I haven't tried to install a different radio rom... (maybe I did, but in my research there isn't an explanation if this is different from the OS rom).

I haven't tested whether it is a hardware issue as I don't know how

What I am asking

Can I get help regarding radio roms; is this different from OS rom's? if it is different... where do I find them and more information on this?

Can I get help on steps to test my hardware to see if this is the issue?

Any pointers if I am missing anything?

Thank you... oh and this is my first post.

I'm out of lurking and posting now.

Respectfully,

KrustyQ-tip

Fixed - sgh-i757m connection problem

Well... thank you for your reply. I didn't have a backup of my son's original rom but my daughter just broke her phone and it was exactly the same. So, I thought I would back her's up then put it on my son's. What she did was break her screen. So, I thought I could swap screens or parts to make this work. I was able to take my daughters apart and was able to take my son's apart. In taking apart my son's phone, I found that the attenae cable wasn't attached to it's connector. So I plugged that in then tested and voila! It works!! pheew!! Was getting worried that I was losing my mind (maybe I did?).

Thank you for your help. I did do the custom roots and roms. Now my son can choose which one he wants!

Respects,

So decided to try something new, so installed PAC-Man this morning (following the instructions) and noticed that I get a warning about "Service Mode" wants to send a message to 9216...

:confused:

Right now, feeling a bit confused (and relieved I could deny!) about that notification... can't seem to figure what that short code number stands for either... Have a feeling of wiping the whole things and starting back!

Been searching for kernel that has android 4.3 support, I was on Dorimax kernel but unfortunately its not working for me, I found the kangbang kernel but its not working for me either, any ideas?

I'm looking more in kernels that has good battery life and support 4.3. thanks..

I'm running cm10.2 btw.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
What do you mean "not working for you"?? There's an AOSP kernel by Gustavo_s as well, but I don't know if it's been updated for 4.3 yet. That's pretty much your options AFAIK. I use Dori & it works great. So what issues are you having? A kernel doesn't just "not work".

I have read several threads and watched youtube videos, but they dont say if I should remove Supersu before flashing odin or after - or if that is even necessary. Im on ME7 and want to do a factory restore.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
As long as you dont use a no wipe image itll be wiped out in the process. If you go the odin route.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
You should just ODIN back to stock without removing it. It erases SuperSU, so you wouldnt be able to unroot after you go back to stock anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
I plan on flashing the file through odin then doing the factory reset to wipe everything and start from the beginning. Im running into a problem where my mobile data is off when the phone starts.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
When you odin everything will be wiped already. You should only need to do a factory reset if your phone wont boot. I have had the time problem before too, if you toggle auto date time off then back on it should correct it. Also you posted in this wrong section, should of been in thr Q and A section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Sorry about the wrong area. And that should have been mobile data is off. Thanks for the help.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golujee:
Hello everyone

I have an htc Panache which is stuck on the boot screen. So I downloaded sdk and everything. The only thing that detects my phone is in the fastboot. so running fastboot devices >> shows my device model #. But after that I don't know if there is a way to root from the fastboot. After almost 3 weeks of research I am unable to find the stock rom. So I was thinking about rooting it, but adb commands don't seem to work even after numerous driver updates. If anyone can tell me some commands to turn S-ON to off from fastboot, that will be great. otherwise I don't think the device is still bricked. Thanks

E-TEN Information Systems today officially announced the Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade program for its current E-TEN brand M500 Pocket PC Phone Edition.

And you have got to admit that both device bare many simularities. So what im wondering is if we can get a hold of thier rom and mod it, or even place some

preasure on I-mate / HTC to give us a little x-mas present early for being such good custome and devoted Imate jammers. I think this path of getting WM5

is a little more feasable than waiting for some of the other solution posted on this forum.

Donno what do you guys think?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BeyondtheTech:
No, for a number of reasons.

1. The hardware is different between the E-TEN M500 and the HTC Magician. From processor to memory configuration to video display to camera, there's just too many variables that would make it futile compared to attempting to make a build from another HTC device, if that is even feasible.

2. The WM5 upgrade for the E-TEN M500 will be available no earlier than December 2005. I am hoping that someone would have provided a hacked WM5 build for the Magician before then.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] hbahaie:
I think the second solution is first to try. Please give us the link of the source of ur news, and should one of our members who speak english natively start to suggest a letter pushing of CDL (carrer devices company, the owner of imate) to develop a new wm2005 rom for JAM. After getting the email of CDL CEO (I think it is easy and avaialible somewre in the forum) we start all to send that letter. I think CDL should respons, or all of us will forward to Eten company as it respects its customers rather than CDL.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] spondas:
The site where the new was found is:

http://www.etencorp.com/presscenter/press.php?pid=45&tid=0

whats getting to me is that Eten , a crappy novalty Pocket Pc company has an update compiled form Microsoft, why cant Imate get them to do us one. This is the 3rd time this has happen to me, I mean when I got my first pocket pc (F-S Pocket Loox 600) the support team alienated its customers and lost many of us even though it later PPC releases were of better quality. HP has done this too with the 19xx series and 63xx series. But from what iI heard Imate had regular updates and free firmware. Looks like they going to follow the same path.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] :
I think all of the distributors of this device, CDL, QTek, Orange, T-Mobile et-al should be pressed for a WM5 upgrade for the magician. Also we should press HTC who actually manufacture it.

That way the distributors and mobile operators might apply thier own pressure to HTC as well as ours. If HTC are being pressed from both sides then maybe they will do something.

In the meantime we await buzz's unofficial version.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] spondas:
Theres a way of starting an online petition we did it to Fujitsi-siemens for the loox and suprisingly it work. Took some time but they went back on there word. But we need on of Admins here in forum who have a little more pulling power than me. I have been read about Buzz's cracked version but i havent put too much faith in it, I guess just preparing for the worst I guess. Any one want to take the responsiblity for it???
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] efjay:
Best way is to vote with your wallets and dont buy HTC products and switch to Eten. That is the only language corporations understand, money. If they see their customer base switching they will MAYBE think twice.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ramram:
Why don't we just start to hit their boards to release the magneto for us at support@imate.com ? Or else someone has a better way to contact a CEO :lol:

Blueangels, Magicians, Alpine can handle the magneto and even the Himalayas, any suggestions are welcomed..

Damn, ETEN is a crapy ppc and they are releasing the Magneto!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] hbahaie:
the folowing is my history:

Wallabay------> Qtek for one year

Himalaya------> imate (2 different devices as one was stolen) for more than 2 years

Magician-------> Imate Jam Currently for around 6 months

Eten-----------> near future after throwing away CDL products for ever.

I usually don't respect any one does not respect me. CDL is not respecting us, while eten respecting their cutomers, so i think i should switch to eten. From the commercial point of view, i think that it is more benifitial to CDL to release a wm2005 for their old products (not ancient one like wallabay or himallaya) as they will gain the following:

1- they will be respectable from us as this will raise their cutomer support score very much, and will attract new customers as it will be known that the post sale support of CDL is perfect.

2- Their new devices such as JasJar is going will by self pushing power as a new product and will attract the valuable richer customers even old devices such as JAM supports wm2005 or not. In the same time the JAm which is still present in stock with a huge quantitiy start losing attractiveness and its sale curve will decline so much. While there is a large slice of cutomers who cannot afford for JasJar but can afford for JAM but only if supports wm2005 and will go to nokia or sony erricson instead of JasJar, so why not to attract them to Jam by adding wm2005 to it.

3- I am sure that the profit from selling JasJar may be less than Jam as the technology of jasjar is more advanced, so if CDL sells 100 piece of jasjar it will gain for wxample a 10% profit, while if sells 100 piece of Jam it may be 15% profit, especially if we consider that the stock of jam is dead and it is a potential loss and will go to rubbish. So adding wm2005 to jam will revive it and not affecting the sales of jasjar in the same time as it is a new coming product and has its attractiveness.

Finally i hope that CDL, or all HTC affiliated companies rethink regarding this issue and try to continue competeing in this market that of course the winner is the one who respects his customers.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jaganath_sr:
The rumoured xda atom lookslike the magician with WM 2005. Maybe once this device is widely available, someone can hack the ROM.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] rjtd:
Greets.

I'm sorry that I'm not with you when you try to boycott HTC.

Eten sold his M500 with the wm5 upgrade clearly advertised. It was a sell point, so, they sold more M500 because ppl were expecting WM5.

HTC did not advertise any of his S1X0 with wm5. If they were to give away wm5, they would advertise at least S110 to be wm5 ready, and it would be a sell point too. They would win money because of the addded value of wm5.

None of us were ripped-off, and, as they keep supporting in a good way our magicians, they are doing their work. They care for us, as they give us rom updates. Not giving us something that is not free, does not turn them bad, or does not mean they don't care about us (well, of course no corp cares for ppl, they care for income! eten does too). Remember, if they give you WM5 for free, they need to support it, and develop some specific things for it. And ppl will keep magician for a longer time, and will not buy theyre new products like the 9100 and so on.

They will in fact loose money. Do you loose money when you work? I surelly don't.

One possible pressure is for us to call our network operators, and start complaining with them. And better, if companys start blaming for not having WM5 for a so much hyped (by operators) product.

Operators themselves are incredibly more powerfull that any of our petition, IMO.

Even that way, I really doubt that we will see WM5 for S100 (it is my opinion, not a rant). Maybe for christmas, with santa giving it to us.

I am looking forward for the new Mitac Mio with gps and wm5. Now thats what I call a all-in-one :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
I'm waiting for the Mio as well. My only reason for trading the Magician is .... WM5!!

And guess what, my next device after the Mitac Mio would probably be .... another Mitac!!

So yes, HTC will probably lose money in the near future. Keeping your existing customers happy is much easier than getting new ones!

On the other hand, if a WM5 ROM (hacked or not) becomes available before the Mitac launch, I'll stick to the Magician (my preferred option).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] spondas:
Great point I agree but Imaging how much more love we would have for our babies is the have a face lift. I mean think of sending you girlfriend to get a new set of boobs. You would play with then all day!!

Anyway lets hope they give us the option if its possible, instead of only making it available as a selling point for there next device which is more probable. Even if we have to pay and ammount say $40 for the upgrade it would be great!!

Cheers all
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] zenkle:
Just to consider from the money point of view, in either way, you stay with Magician or purchase a new Mio, HTC is not going to make new profit. Then the question arises: why do they need to endeavor to make you stay with Magician?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] hbahaie:
No Zenkle, i am not agree with u, if i bought MIO, so, i will try a new handset and a new company with a new style and post sale support, so may i found them better and will stick to them and don't use HTC anymore. But if i have an upgraded magician the next step will be JasJar or whatever HTC. Second, if i bought a MIO now, so i will upgrade after 1-3 years from now as i will have a brand new device, but if I ve an upgraded magician , i will upgrade for JasJar after 6 months to 1 year at max.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
That's exactly the point. Keeping your customers loyal to the brand is all part of the business.

In addition to this, HTC or the carriers of this brand, will soon get the reputation of not releasing OS upgrades, while others (Samsung, ETEN, etc.) may be getting a more favourable reputation of releasing OS upgrades for their devices. This would sure help the latter increase their sales.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] rjtd:
Trust me, if they do not give us WM5.0 is that because they would, in the end, loose money with it.

I bet they have ppl doing all the calculations for them.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BeyondtheTech:
Trust me, no calculations were required. They simply said, "we'll make them buy something new" and that was that.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jimmy-bish:
And why not say that. Sure, people on this forum may not go back to HTC devices, but there's millions of others that will due to I-mate, O2, Orange and all the others selling these devices. And the profits made from these devices far outweigh the measly profits made from releasing a WM5 rom for the Magician.

My opinion, I want WM5 to play with, and I have no doubt it will eventually come out once someone gets their hands on a decent version (I'm not bringing up the whole other thread to do with buzz and raptorz). But, by the time I feel it's absolutely necessary to upgrade, not just because I want to, there will be some really beefy PDA phones available and my Jam will be obsolete anyway. Hence, a new phone. Maybe an HTC, may not be. Whatever's best for me at the time. And when I do get WM5, I wouldn't mind having official upgrades and support available for it.

Just my 2 cents worth. :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
So companies like HP, ETEN, Samsung and others did not do their calculations? Or they don't have new products in the pipeline? All of these companies are releasing an upgrade, and I'm sure they're thinking "customer service" and "returned customers".

Immediate profit vs long term investment in the brand ... look at o2, they're releasing the ATOM, a COPY of the HTC Magician with WM5 in December, I bet HTC will be losing on sales when this comes out. Had the Magician had a WM5 upgrade and being slightly cheaper than the Atom, the Magician would have a longer shelve life thus paying more for its R&D, etc.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] hbahaie:
My Magician is only 2 months old, it is still brand new piece. Now, other devices with wm2005 is present, what shoudl i do, through it away and get jasjar or mio, or having an upgrade? A question to CDL, if u were inetended not to release an upgrade to magician, why u leave it stock available, u should withdraw it time enough before releasing a betting model to it. Ofd course i will keep magician but as long as i am holding it i will be upset from CDL. Surely magician will be an old one after a while and i will change it, but sure not Jasjar or any htc product as i am sure that i will not respected from theri customer services. By the way, any of u rememebr any official upgrade of windows ce platform done by HTC?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jimmy-bish:
Fair point, but then how close are they to Microsoft compared to the relatively new HTC? It may be a financially viable option, it may not be. It may be that HTC are a bunch of retards. Who knows? I certainly don't :lol:

Sorry to burst your bubble there but it's the HTC Athena. The WM5 version of the Jam with a bigger camera and few other features. Hopefully things are similar enough to rip and use that rom. Time will tell and we can all cross our fingers!! I'll have my fingers crossed, but I wont be holding my breath.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
When I made my earlier post, rumours were that the 02 Atom was made by Quanta. Things have changed since then, so my post is somewhat outdated!
