I'm actually considering doing this today. I lost my IMEI/ERI and restored them with the forbidden software but the problem I'm having is on some roms my google play store won't connect and it's been kinda frustrating and I don't know what else do, I've cleared store cache and data, plus every other fix I could find online. Plus it might be good practice for me if I have to send my phone back in the future as I bought my S3 rooted and unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Might as well give it a try, not much at risk you know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
The only thing I can chalk it up to is maybe there was something still wonky because I didn't Odin back and used the Repair Tool. I'm off today and not really interested in the football game tonight so I got time. I'll Odin back, reprovision and reroot, unlock and see what happens with play store after that, thanks for all your help. Learned alot from your posts dude...:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Edvinas1602:
How did you restore your IMEI? What software did you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
This was before I found the Samsung Repair Utility so you may not need QPST and you can just use the repair utility.

1) I restored my IMEI using this guide here: http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79

2) Please note that since I hadn't found the repair utility you may not need to do step one, the repair utility does both IMEI/ERI

3) Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44871571&postcount=3

4) We don't want to get XDA in trouble so I can't link the repair utility or have a mirror for it. I can only put you on the block and you have to find the house....;)

5) Once everything is ok flash your modem back up to whatever current modem you were using.

6) Also it may be best to just Odin back as I'm having issues with Play Store on certain roms.

What is the version of your Android? When I write *#7284# I don't see something like "Qualcomm USB Settings"

I was on a stock rooted TW rom. It was 4.1.2....http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42792139&postcount=1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
Well that wasn't it either. Now I'm unrooted completely stock and google play still won't connect no matter what I do. It was worth a shot. I'll root, unlock bootloader and get back to the roms that work. At least I can get back to stock if I have to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Edvinas1602:
I am still stuck. I tried to restore my IMEI with kTool. I think there should be a some program that I could change my IMEI from bad to a good just cannot find it. Btw my SGS3 is international, not Verizon. Sorry about that.

Edit: I tried "Root Explorer" and I copied EFS files but I do not know what I have to do with them because i can't find more information about this.

Just got it from Expansys (imate version) about an hour and a half ago.

Book says charge for 8 hours, and the LED has gone yellow from orange (meaning charged I take it)

I am dying to play, so how long does it really need to charge for?

Also, where can I buy insurance for it?

Thx guys and gals

Leave it on over night is what I do.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Manual actually states that you either charge it till its max or leave it 8 hours on. Since it has turned yellow, it means it can charge no more, so go ahead and start playin away!!!

Yellow?

My LED goes green when fully charged, and orange when charging.

Definitely not the orange tho :lol:

So i have a rooted nook hd+ but i need to return it because of the charger was smoking on me so they are going to send me a new one and ill send this one back. Will it be ok if i flash a stock rom and return it or would i need to do a factory reset to cover my bases fully? and would i just go into my setting and click restore or do i do the 8 loop thing? They say if its my fault, they will charge me for a new nook. If i perform a factory reset, will it go back to factory setting because when i rooted it, i deleted the stock? or i can just use a prepaid card haha. help?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and look at item 6. Flash one of the plain stock zips and do a factory reset/wipe data with CWM. You should be back to 100% stock. Your media files will still be there though. If you want those gone too, go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'.

[Galaxy Note II General] severoprisan:
The question is : Should I sell my Note 2 and get Xperia Z1? I have the Note 8 3G, so having two "notes" is a little superfluous.
[Galaxy Note II General] albsat:
Z1 seems like the perfect phone on paper, at least for me. Wait till users get it so u know what is in about it.
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
I'm actually thinking about the Note 3 or the Z1. The Z1 looks fantastic! But I think I'd miss the functionality of the S-Pen. I'm going to wait for a few reviews to make a decision. Not to mention I won't be buying a phone until Dec. at the earliest! haha.
[Galaxy Note II General] snip3r77:
I'm thinking of Sony Z1, LG G2, iPhone 5S
[Galaxy Note II General] hykhleif:
if the Z1 speaker were not so low , and the screen was not covered by a protection film that gets easily scratched, and if removed the sony logo gets removed too, I would have bought the Z1
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
If I were you I should certainly not buy a Iphone. Go for the Z1 or G2.
[Galaxy Note II General] snip3r77:
Any wrong getting a small phone?

There are good small phones with Android. But it's your choice.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
lol good luck with crappy Sony displays :D

imo N3 or LG G2 are better choices :)
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
Like most people then
[Galaxy Note II General] Miqueas111:
LG G2 is a great choice, actually. But like it's been said, you're gonna miss the S-Pen funcionality. Otherwise, the G2 has OIS, the SGN3 not. Of course, the 3 GB are sweet!
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
I love the G2, but I am not too happy with LG about their update schedule. I love updates! Before I commit to Note 3 or Z1 or even the G2, I'm going to wait to see what the Nexus 5 has to bring! Who knows, maybe I'll just stick with the Note 2 ^.^ It's still a damn great device!
[Galaxy Note II General] onslaught86:
I have a Z1 on hand. Anything you'd like to know? Still getting the Note III, but the Z1 would be my second choice. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
Yeah!

Battery life?

Screen quality? I know this was a big problem with the Z (original)

Speaker quality? I know the Z had low volume and sounded metallic.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] onslaught86:
Battery life was markedly better than the Z, but I wouldn't put it up with the Note II - unfortunately I haven't been able to test the battery life in a properly quantifiable manner, but based on my usage of the device I'd think ~4 hours screen on over LTE would be possible. It gets rather hot when under load, I suppose you can always dunk it in a cool glass of water mind you. :)

Screen quality - vastly superior to the Z. Could never have lived with that. This I can live with. The viewing angles still aren't quite there, yet they're so much better than the Z that I was happy enough. Washes out and is especially bad at certain angles, but dead on it's very nice and gets quite bright, though sunlight visibility isn't fantastic.

Speaker was louder than I recall the Z being. Nothing special, though, I prefer the Note's.

Happy to help. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmptinessFiller:
Hi all!

I'm just new to xda and android and liked to do a nandroid backup.

So I read about it and find out, that there isn't any way to do so, without install/flashing/? a Custom Recovery, such like ClockworkMod Recovery, is it?.

So I get ROM Manager from GPlay Store, but it didn't find my phone. Then I downloaded RecoverX from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773227) and run it. But this needs root. I think, there isn't any way to use ClockworkMod Recovery without having root, is it?

I try to get root, reading here in that great forum, but it seems, there isn't any way to root my SE Xperia Pro, because it has a Build-Number 4.0.2.A.0.69, and you can only root *.42. There it says, you can flash that firmware, using flashtool (http://flashtool.net). I found a *.42 firmware here: http://dexxmor.de.to/.

So here my main question: After I flashed that firmware and root my phone, how to upgrade to the x.69 one? They all say, that this will be done by "OTA". But my Phone has GB and could have ICS (I didn't upgrade). So when I do so, after that, I would have ICS, right?

Sorry for that n00b question and my bad english:(

Thanks

PS: Sorry, if i posted in a wrong forum. I didn't found a Pro/Sony General one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IC3CR34M:
What you are looking for by asking for an update is just making your phone ram hungrier. It would make no use upgrading. Also, after upgrading, by default the root and its advantages will be lost. So it is better to simply keep downgraded, rooted and to mod your phone rather than upgrade it.

Happy to help :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmptinessFiller:
Thank you for your fast reply.

You make me unsure, because I always read to upgrade after rooting, but this doesn't make sence of course, if root will be lost.:eek:

A last question: What happens, if I won't mod my phone? What happens if I stay with that older firmware?

Kind regards

[HTC One X] chriswroth:
Hi all,

Recently I changed the back of my HOX, 'cause the 'old' one broke while repairing my WiFi, but I also changed it because my camera lens was all scratched.

I bought a new back for about €14,95. After replacing, everything worked great, except for my speaker sound.

After a while I found out that the speaker was placed into the old back and that it is a seperate module you can easily take out and place it in the new one.

Also I found out, that using tape to keep the power- and the volumebuttons on their places comes in very handy.

This for you all, so that if you also want to replace your back, you'll know what to do.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Slofsky:
Hi everybody, I've just recieved my wireless LAN card and I'm having troubles finding documentation on how to do what I want to do. I actually want to do three things with my PDA once WiFi is working.

A I'd like to be able to ActiveSync through WiFi instead of connecting the cable. My laptop has a wireless LAN card, but I don't know how or if I need to set up a special connection between the two.

B I would like to be able to connect with my Magician through my laptop, so I can use its internet connection on my Magician.

C My Magician should also be able to connect to a wireless access point at my college, maybe I can have two network settings on my Magician so I wouldn't have to switch between them all the time?

Thanks very much from a Magician newbie ;).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Slofsky:
Alright, scrap B, I managed to do that but I had to turn off WEP... If anyone knows how to keep the connection secure, let me know ;). But syncing still doesn't work via WiFi.

Edit: Scrap A as well, with a little bit of tinkering I think I got it done :).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
I can get all the items working but using my Wi-Fi network and not an Ad-Hoc.

All you need to do is go into Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> Here you select the "Internet" for both. This way you I use IE or email etc it connects into the internet and when I select Active Sync it also connects via the internet setting where it see's my "ActiveSync" running on my PC and connects. Make sure the tick box is tick against "Allow Network" in the activesync settings.

As for the Work side of things i dont have a wi-fi network but from memory once you set up the "Network Cards" on your PPC it will connect to which ever one it see's first, someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Hi, my spectec suddenly stopped working. The list show my wifi as available but am unable to go on the net. I have tried reinstalling the driver, doesn't work. This started yesterday, I have not changed or install anything else. Could it be a faulty card or faulty mini ? My wifi is working great on my notebook. WEP is off. What else can I do ? Thanks.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
If all fails I try a hard reset and only install the Wi-Fi driver and go from there.

Do a complete backup with say Sprite Backup that way you can restore your PDA back to original.

The other option is to use the modified driver from the E300 Card found in this post

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=27069&highlight=spectec+e300

But you need to uninstall the SPECTEC driver first.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xdua:
Thanks ampda. Have uninstalled the spectec and will use the E300 as suggested. See how this works. Will only go to hard reset as a last resort or perhaps just wait for the universal ??? :lol:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Slofsky:
Alright, on your PC ActiveSync:

- File -> Connection Settings. I marked the USB and Ethernet options.

On your PDA:

- Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. Here select the network your PDA should connect to. It should connect to "The Internet", on the tab "Network key" I have selected Open and Disabled, because I use an ad-hoc connection.

That should do it, just hit sync on your PDA :)!

You may have to disable and enable your wireless connection on your PC to get things to work.

You know MS developers have o get AS4 ready for the WM 5.0 release because WM 5.0 needs AS4. They were a little lazy so they got deadline problems and have to take network sync out for now. They will put it back in in a future update but AS4 as well as AS4.1 dont offer it right now.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] HowardZ:
From my understanding, there isn't even a released TWRP for the LTE version. There is a test version available from the developer for brave souls.

I bet that if you restore any of your nandroid backups you will FUBAR your tablet.
