[Galaxy Note 3 General] netnerd:
why should I compare it to unlimited talk and text plan?

I don't need unlimited !

when is the last time you on phone over 15 minutes? haha

Google voice give you FREE incoming and outgoing texts!

why should I pay unlimited texts when you don't need it?

it's like going to buffet for breakfast! when you only able to eat ham and eggs for breakfast.

why you need to waste money on breakfast buffet?

what you doing is paying for stuffs you don't need!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gordonzhao:
No one is asking you to pay for stuff you don't need you said to compare the two prices so I did. My initial statement is that other carriers are still charging you for the phone its just included in the plan.

And yes because you don't use the phone doesn't mean everyone else is in the same boat. I can easily go over the 450 minutes that you have for $39.99 and would be paying overages which will be more than what you thought was less expensive.

So you have to rely on text messages over Google voice. Which you don't need a mobile for, why don't you just cancel your phone line and use wifi.... Because it serves a different purpose.

You use up to 3gb a month, I easily use that in 2 weeks sometimes a week. But guess who has unlimited data? T-Mobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] netnerd:
what?? "rely on Google voice for texts"?

you just install the Google voice app and send texts or receive texts in real time!

450 minutes is more than enough for most people!

weekend calls doesn't count those minutes! free weekend!

the person you calling on att also, then the calls is free! those minutes not counting also!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gordonzhao:
Yes I understand and use Google voice, but if you are using Google voice for texts and don't have them forwarded you have to be connected to the Internet.

Again, your basis is your own usage. I work for telecommunications so I know what more accurate usage is and 450 is not enough.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tookutz:
I mentioned in my earlier thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2466088, my dilemma, and now I'm using the GS3 ToolKit

Method to try and recover. My problem is I don't know which device model and build I should use. My phone is an SGH-T999N (a t-mobile variant) but my carrier, from which I purchased the phone, is MetroPCS. I've tried several times with the T-Mobile builds, and they haven't done anything to help me. The MetroPCS build that I see listed is SCH-R530M, I'm hesistant to use it cause I'm afraid it will further damage my phone. Which build should/can I use to help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
O Man, Don't ever do that, go here this is the thread and guidance you need to follow. Its difficult to get the Original MetroPCS ROM, it came with T999NUVAME4, if you can find this ROM by googling, searching anywhere and everywhere well and good, if not understand this.

MetroPCS SGH T999N, and T-mobile LTE variant is SGH T999L, Thier FCCID is the same ending in T999L, which means its the same phone. But you you may need to change APN settings for you to connect to MetroPCS

Open APN and change settings to

apn carrier="MetroPCS LTE"

mcc="310"

mnc="260"

extraid=""

apn="fast.metropcs.com"

user=""

password=""

authtype="0"

server=""

proxy='"

port=""

mmsc="http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc"

mmsproxy=""

mmsport=""

type="default,mms,supl"

preferapp=""

so read the above link, it has all the details you need to recover your phone, thank the developer and ask any question you may have in that thread. Do not post everywhere, its important to stick with one thread that is meant for your phone.

or, you can even ask help on that thread with regards to your concern.​

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
So. I'm not terribly new to the android Dev world. After a short hiatus with the lumia 1020, I'm back. Traded said lumia for a supposed Google edition HTC one. Couple of issues.

First the box he gave it to me is an att 32gb HTC one package. The imei on the box does not match the one in the phone. The phone itself works fine and indeed is running a 4.3 unrooted vanilla ROM. I used an imei lookup website and both of the imeis link back to sense vs HTC ones. Note for the question.

Is there any way to verify that this is indeed the Google play edition and he just gave me a different box?

As a side note, if it is indeed a Google play edition, which Dev forum should I be in?

I've attached a screenshot of the about section showing kernel version.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
I believe a complete GPe convention would be exactly the same as the original.

They have identical hardware and it's possible to change the MID and CID to GPe.

Is the phone S-off?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
Not sure to be honest. How do I get into the boot loader on this phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
Yes it is soff.

Cid is googl001 I think that's correct.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
You can never be sure if it is truly a Google play edition phone. They literally are the same exact phone with different software on them. As long as it works, I think you're good.

There is no separate section of XDA for that phone because any rom will work on either phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
Only true way was if you were able to list the supported frequencies.

The GPe is idectical to the the AT&T model except it supports a couple more international bands. That's something a conversion process will not alter.

But as far as I know there isn't a way to find out.

Like others have said both models are 99% identical you wouldnt notice the difference. All GSM roms work with all GSM models. If the phone is in good physical condition and everything works and you didn't get the dev edition for it's particular international support then you shouldn't have any issues.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
OK. Thanks for the responses. So the att forums T-Mobile forums and the basic HTC one forums are all pretty much safe. Is the rooting process the same? Either way time to delve into the information provided here on xda. Thanks again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
Yes to your questions. All GSM models are identical except their respective carrier support. Rooting is the same, but with rooting methods on all android devices new updates might prevent rooting/S-Off. The individual forums are more so things are more or less organized.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
I'd say since its s-off, 90% its a converted, but as others have said, no way to be sure.

The only difference in the rooting process is if your bootloader isnt already unlocked, you don't have to use HTCDev. You can just use "fastboot oem unlock".

And since you luckily stumbled on a phone with s-off I would read up on it, and its advantages and disadvantages.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
After this it is indeed unlocked and appears to be a converted HTC one. Which is fine with me. However the imei numbers being mismatched between the box and my phone has me a bit worried. Is it something I should worry about?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
It may be that he just gave you a different box.

Or it may be that whatever conversion process was used took a little too much from the phone that donated the system dump. I don't know how you'd check.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
Last question. I have stock android unrooted 4.3 on the phone now. Stock recovery. Bootloader is black instead of white and cid is Google cid. Soff and unlocked. Can I just fastboot flash twrp recovery and pick and choose ROMs for gsm model and start flashing? And if that is correct can I flash both sense ROMs and aosp? Thanks again for the help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
Yes. To all questions.

Edit: also, as I said, you should read up on s-off and what you can do because of it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrod0784:
Thanks.

Hey all, this is just a how to on getting Wifi to work on laptops where the kernel.deb modules do not load.

1st. you have to satisfy dependencies. so that being said. go to you installation media via usb or cd where your live or installation is.

pool/main/d/dkms.dkms.deb and either right click and install with ubuntu software center or sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb

i like to use terminal.

2nd. pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/ and re-install the kernel.deb so that all the modules will be reloaded.

you shouldnt even need to reboot. just go up top to wireless and choose your network to connect.

cheers all :)

i hope this helps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XperiaPlayEC:
Can somebody help me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zawata:
Well first its not room, its ROM

Second

A ROM is android itself, when you install a ROM, you install a new version of android, and replace the old one, a ROM includes all parts of android

The main part is /system

That is what makes android look like android

/data is where all of the user stuff is stored

A new android installation wipes(erases all data) from both of these

A kernel is different

A kernel is a piece of software that runs underneath android and let's the operating system communicate with all the hardware that's on the phone, with out a kernel, your phone won't boot into anything

Kernels are very specific, you can't install a sense kernel with an aosp ROM, the kernels have to also be compatible with the ROM you want to run as well

Usually(in fact, its rare in the case that it doesn't happen), when you install a rom, you also install the kernel for that ROM, such as a CyanogenMod kernel and a CyanogenMod ROM, but not the other way around

If you ever want to install a custom kernel, install it AFTER you install a ROM, or else when you install the ROM, you will overwrite the custom kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:

More info: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_more_concepts#Common_Partitions_and_directories_2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XperiaPlayEC:
Thanks you both for the help.

So which one is the best ROM for my T999?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Up to your preference, I prefer CM10.x, other prefer TW-based ROMs, there is no answer to that question. Look through and pick one, you don't like it, try a different one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And if you run into terms or other things along the way, search xda for a lousy of definitions. There's a couple of pretty good ones that you may want to bookmark for quick reference. Also read the stickies.

Are you alowed to post which site can get the O2 and I-mates rom from?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] techDot:
which is better? JasJar or Exec

Gadi,

it appears that you know enough on the issue as to preffer to use the

i-mate rom (or at least that's what I gathered).

I am just about to buy one - and I am deliberating between the o2 Exec and the i-mate JasJar -- do you have any recommendations as to which is better to buy, and why.

:!: Also -- do you have any problem operating the device with an Israeli (or any non-UK Sim for that matter) SIM -- OR did you have to unlock it - and if you did, how did you do it.

-Also could you direct me to the i-mate rom.

I will appreciate your answer greatly.

:D

Hag Sameach,

Asaf
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Hold on, when you use the imate WWE rom program, which is felt by most to be better, doesn't it overwrite the ext-rom and the radio and the rest, so there is no way, unless you have the equivalent exe file for your original setup, to go back to where you were when you bought it?

An example being I am on t-mob, and they havent released an update to the mda pro yet, so if I use the iMate rom and don't like it, or it bricks my device, then I am stuck until they release one to return the device to life/get it how I want it.

I thought you were doing a proper clean and write to the whole device not just the ext-rom?

Joe
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GadiShoshani:
Dotan:

As for imate Vs. O2 - The only reason i'd prefer imate is coz

they release more frequent rom updates.

Other than that - the hardware specification is the same (HTC universal).

the software might have been modified to suit o2's requests.

(splash screen, company utils ect.)

So - if i'm buying the phone, it might as well be i-mate's so i dont get all tangeled with warranty B.S...

However - i want to check the claim that the rom flash can be "un-done".

if so - i'd much rather buy an o2 exec that costs bout 100 GBP less..

8)

As for- where to d/l rom updates.. well, after u buy an imate register at www.imate.com and then goto members page.

or - try asking here in the forum, post a topic asking for the latest Jasjar rom!

Behazlacha,

And tell me what u decide to do !

Hey Guys! Finally able to bring my Moto X home and start messing around!

So this is my first Motorola device and my head is spinning with all these root/unlocking bootloader threads.

So can anyone explain to me some of the stuff I'm going to need to know, seeing how this is my first Motorola device?

Which root method is the latest?

What is the newest OTA?

How do I unlock my bootloader?

Not a noob by any means. One explanation and I'll have it down. :D

Thank you in advance!!
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
To unlock the bootloader go here:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

To root it: unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP with fastboot, boot directly into TWRP, reboot from TWRP, it will ask if you want to root, swipe to root, finish rebooting, enjoy root.

I believe the above will work with the newest update. I wouldnt know though, im on Verizon.
