[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouro898:
Hi. This is a nice tutorial. I'm glad you found a way to fix your IMEI.

I'm on step 3, by the way, and I encountered a problem. My computer seems to not recognize my device when downloading files using SP Flash Tool. I already have the drivers installed (PDANet, mtk VCOM, and Android Universal Drivers) but my device still cannot be detected.

It is detected though when I plug it in using MTK Droid Root and Tools so I'm thinking I have the right drivers installed. It's just that when using SP Flash Tools, it kinda goes under the radar. Do you happen to know why this is?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
sorry for the late reply.

are you on windows 8 or 8.1?

until now i never got sp flashtool running correct on 8 or 8.1.

the phone disconnected itself from PC before anything could happen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouro898:
I'm on Windows 7, but that happens to me too. The driver shows up in Device Manager, then disappears after about a second. Do I need to install another driver? Am I missing something? Thanks for your reply, by the way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
the vcom driver for flashing is different than the driver the phone normaly uses.

to install this driver use this guide (<--link)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:

you are completly wrong here.

i can't help you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaBbiTin3D:
I don't understand how the processor comes into restoring IMEI and baseband...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
there are different ways on MTK based phones, samsung phones, sony phones.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaBbiTin3D:
Two last questions...

1. So you mean that this way will 100% not work on quadcom prosessors?

2. My error above is just concerning the backup stage, I cannot get it to backup. Can you at least try to help me with that? Because that problem I'm having with the backup should not be because of the processor...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
1. yes

2. SP Flashtool ist made for mediatek devices. you do not have a mediatek device. it will not work!!!

it´s the same when you try to do android things on iphone. it will not work.

look in the samsung threads.

NOTE: On my Lenovo A916 phone (it seems that) the IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 can NOT be the same number! Use some random generator if you lost yours.

Setting first IMEI:

What do you mean by this? When I pressed "Confirm" I thought I WERE with these first pre-orders. Do you mean that in case the current batch isn't enough for everyone I'll have to wait for October 19 (or any later date) for my order to be shipped?! :o

mate in the office got his today. put it side to side against my k-jam earlier and it seems no different in build quality. the darker front facia is quite nice.. and the gun metal grey sides and keyboard are nicer than the black on my kjam.

out of the box software is a bit lacking.. not even a custom theme.. just the default wm2k5 one.

personally i'd still go for the kjam since imate has a uk service centre. no difference i can see other than colour and thats just a personal preference

Who cares if the service centre isnt in the UK. The Qtek has a 2 year warranty, I-Mate only has 1 year (granted, you might need the extra year as waiting time for shipping it to/from the service centre :D)...

Personally, I prefer absolutely minimal customisation on my device... so thats another plus for me.

Nope, unlocking SIM will not enable your fastboot, that means Bootloader Unlock Allowed stays No.

I don't know how it works .. but it works :D ... Wotan unlocks bootloader even if it says NO in service menu ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
This is done different. WotanServer requires using the test point method, this also enables the fastboot. However, this works only on phones, that have been manufactured before 12W11. Newer phones have newer type of security, test point method no longer works on those.

Using the code is inserted by firmware, it does allow different SIM cards, however does not affect bootloader at all.

You should be able to flash the unlocked firmware onto your EE branded phone... It shouldn't void your warranty but if they make a lot of fuss, you can easily flash the EE branded firmware back..

I just got the Galaxy note 2 L900. It is rooted and modified for international using. It works perfect and I was about to explore the Jelly bean 4.2.2 several times but later the battery felt out (phone has no back cover). I inserted the battery back and booted but it only started then stopped at xiaomi.com logo and the phone was frozen as brick with no control at all.

So how could I recover the custom ROM. I have never done this and I really need help. Thank you you all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] icu814:
Are you able to get the device into Download mode? When turning the device on hold the power button, vol down, and the home button and the device should enter download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abbuyacc:
Thank you. I did this before I posted this matter but the question is which files I need to download and where I can find these files? Is is in the phone already? as I said I have never done this before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] icu814:
If you can get into Download mode you can ODIN any ROM you would like to the device and fix the not booting problem. You can re-flash the ROM you were using if you choose. You would need to find an ODIN tar file to use this option to get your device working again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abbuyacc:
Thanks again for your reply. It must be easier for me if I do the rooting or flashing of this phone from the beginning. I would read and following instruction step by step but right now it likes I am right in the middle of the jungle and really don't know where I should start. I looked for "ODIN tar file" and one link lead me to download the "odin multi downloader v3 95 exe.rar" but I found in here many files to download and one of these files is "Root mobile ODIN Pro v3 65 full" is the only file close to what I am looking for but I am not sure this is the file I need. I really needed help on this matter. You are the only one who replied my question and I believe that you can help. I wonder that you could text and help me through this matter. I would appreciate this. Thank you again

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] icu814:
Send me the service provider you use and I will see if I can find an ODIN flashable ROM for your device. I can link you to the download and we can go from there. The first part though is finding a flashable image.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abbuyacc:
I have no idea. This phone has bad ESN and was modified for international using so it has a SIM card port now for GSM network (that the seller told me). I just have this phone in 2 day only and as I said I just played with in about 1 hours to see what options the phone could provide before the battery felt out issue. I not sure it can be use with ATT or Tmobile when it has bad ESN. I didn't tried it. I bought it on ebay for my cousin in Vietnam (price cheaper to Good ESN). So I guess it must be best for an ODIN flashable ROM for gsm network. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] icu814:
The phone might not have a bad ESN it just might not be recognizing a network due to an invalid SIM or no SIM at all. The phone might work and find a network if a good SIM is put into the device. The first thing I would do though is find a stock image that is for a GSM phone. You can attempt to find out what service provider your cousin is going to use but to be honest it really does not matter with a GSM carrier and a phone that does not have SIM card restrictions which I am sure this one does not. You can look for a flashable image for Docomo, AT&T, or some other GSM provider. That will at least get you into the device so you can check out the options. You could always contact the person you got the device from and see what ROM they had installed and go back with that. Just a few suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abbuyacc:
So why we don't try Tmobile (I am using Ptel and Ptel base on Tmobile). IF it works on Tmobile then it can be unlocked later. (but I am sure the seller he told this phone has bad ESN)

Thank you.
