[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lowao:
I am still a bit confused regarding TWRP & CWM being installed at the same time or side by side. So, let me get this straight. If I want to install JB 4.3 ROM, I must first boot into ODIN, install CWM through ODIN, reboot, boot into CWM, wipe the system, reboot, boot back into ODIN, install TWRP, reboot, boot into TWRP, install the JB 4.3 ROM, and finally preform the last reboot. Is this correct & it won't break either of the custom recoveries? However rpr69 said "switch back to TWRP." Are you inferring TWRP & CWM can be installed side by side? If so, how do I access one over the other?

Regarding GB's radio files:

Which of the following links is the Radio/modem files? Is it the second one? I know of them is the official stock ROM and the other requires the OTA updates. However the poster didn't include the OTA updates yet...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
I know you posted but its confusing, let me simplify, I hope:

im assuming you have either cwm or twrp installed, if on stock read this.

you cannot have two recoveries installed at the sametime:

above recovery install procedure is only if a jb4.3 rom on its 2nd reboot just has a black screen and wont boot into rom, but 2nd boot does usually take longer than normal upto a full minute.

if flashing a rom or restoring from nandroid(recovery backup) prior to jb4.3 and then later decide to flash a jb4.3 rom you need todo above recovery installation procedure b4 flashing a jb4.3 rom.

restoring backups only work with whatever recovery they were made with, you cannot restore a cwm backup w/twrp recovery and vice a versa.

newest versions of recoveries should restore backups made with their older versions.

why do u want an old radio, they will not work w/jb roms

old radios are linked in the 1stop sticky under "old stuff".

installing the radio has nothing todo with the recovery you are using.

flash jb radios for jb roms which happen to be all the current roms.

reread the radio section in the 1stop sticky.

I linked this post in the recovery section of the 1stop sticky
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lowao:
Thank you vincom for explaining the process of using both CWM 6.0.3.7 & TWRP 2.6.3.0 together. I am familiar with backups ONLY working with their original customer recovery. I didn't even think about older versions of backups (not) working with newer custom recoveries. Was there an issue working with older backups in the past?

The reason I need the old GB Radio/Modem files, because when I have to return the phone to stock & load up my old Gingerbeard nandroid, I will be able to return it back to AT&T with the original Radio files and the original Gingerbeard OS. Anywho, thank you for the GB radio. I really appreciate it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
u can return any phone that has any stock firmware, with our phones that would be stock jb4.1.2 and using odin would be the way to do it , link in my sig. this is assuming your carrier used the latest firmware as with att and rogers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lowao:
I am with AT&T and I never got the official ICS or JB through updates. Actually, I thought ICS was discontinue, because it was bricking phones. Thus the stock ICS & JB Roms here were ported over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
these are untouched full official stock firmwares( radio, recovery, kernel and apps/bloatware), just use odin and flash whatever version you want, all info is in the restore to stock sticky
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
nope, both are fine and are still available officially. You don't need gingerbread to return it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lowao:
I have to go to Samsung's website and download their Kies software to upgrade to Jelly Bean right? It won't be pushed out through Settings > About Phone > System Update then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Or you can use Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] beachmiles:
So if you're flashing 4.3 ROMs just use cwm? Went from twrp to cwm and back to twrp and am getting the same black boot screen on a slim 4.3 weekly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
To properly set everything up, you need to use the recommended CWM for 4.3, do a full factory wipe, and make sure that data is formatted. Then install the ROM and boot it up. Reboot to verify it works properly. Then you can go to TWRP 2.6.0.1 or later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
I've been using twrp since release and not had any issues why do we need cwm? What's the technical reasoning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frost58:
Didn't work

I followed this procedure exactly and it still didn't work.

I gave it ten minutes between boots and ended up having to pull the battery each of the three times I rebooted.

Fortunately I've gotten into the habit of making a backup before flashing, so it was just a loss of 45 minutes of my evening.

I was trying to get the latest CM10.2 Stable build. Has anyone gotten this thing to flash and work as well as 10.1.3 RC2 or 10.1.3 Final? This issue started for me with the second 10.2 Nightly.

...

Just NOW began seeing the replies to the main post. I don't have ANOTHER fresh install in me: I've already had to do that twice with the 2012 Nexus7 and once with the Skyrocket in the last six weeks.
[Xperia Z1 General] liljamjam:
Just called Sony to get a new charger for my ion and happened to ask about the Z1. Apparently they have a contract with AT&T and that more than likely it will be released to them, if not T-Mobile. This could be another 6 months from now, but for those of you, such as myself, who have AT&T i thought this was good news. Hopefully it will put Sony on the map and allow them to release more high-end phones in the US on major carriers.
[Xperia Z1 General] MRMNYC:
This is nice news! It's a shame I don't see much in the way of any hint as to when this may come out in the U.S., I really hope it's not another six months, I'm not willing to spend $800 on this thing as much as I like it :/
[Xperia Z1 General] greatremix:
Could it be the 14 spring model, since somebody mentioned that att's not going to carry any Sony this year
[Xperia Z1 General] liljamjam:
Not gonna argue with that, sounds even better to me. And remember, "this year" is almost over ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] thepanttherlady:
[MENTION=2199119]evl[/MENTION]eaks just tweeted a T-Mobile branded Z1 today. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] devildogthug:
I see what ur saying about not willing/wanting to pay $800 for this phone, but i've had my C6903 for about a week now on T-Mobile LTE and all i can say is that it's nothing short of AWESOME. It's the first phone in quite a while that feels premium enough to keep for a while... and i've had ALOT of phones (about 6 just this year). And did i mention LTE! And another plus of the unlocked version: bluetooth internet sharing right out of the box! :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] MRMNYC:
Great to hear! It sounds like you got the LTE version in time since it looks like T-Mobile is going to carry it, but not AT&T. Just out of curiosity, what kind of download/upload speeds are you getting and where are you based? I'm in NY, and on AT&T -- when LTE was first introduced here, I was getting 30 down and 40 up, but nowadays, it's about 10 up and down. I may make the jump of carriers if the speed and network is OK.

Based on the EVLeaks photo, it seems it's a slightly modified version that will come out with T-Mobile, so, we'll see. Man, it's great being a consumer in a competitive market -- it sounds like Sony may be coming out with a new flagship in early 2014 using the WhiteMagic panel (http://www.androidauthority.com/jdi-super-bright-full-hd-displays-282810/) and with that one, hopefully Sony decides to go full force in the US. I'm also liking the rumors I'm hearing about the Samsung S5 thus far (water-resistant/proof, octacore, etc.). Decisions, decisions, decision!!! :D
[Xperia Z1 General] remydlc:
where did you guys ordered yours? do you need an account on Sony to order one? or did you order it here in the States?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] mr_skot:
I just picked up a Z waiting for the Z1 to be released on T-Mobile and the rep said "soon".

So I ran across this on the T-Mobile UK site http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-monthly/sony-xperia-z1-black/

Why isn't this available on T-Mobile US?

I don't remember about the other models, but I ordered a c6906 model, Telus branded from Canada, and it has LTE Bands for both T-Mobile and AT&T.
[Xperia Z1 General] samven582:
but there is no warrenty when you import :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Zerousen:
Damn, I forgot about that. Oh well, I take care of my stuff, and haven't been unfortunate enough to have anything severely damaged. I just hope there aren't any defects to worry about :(
[Xperia Z1 General] stealthj:
I have a c6903 on tmobile. Insured for 6.99$month is fine enough for me. C6906 has all the lte bands. By the time this hits USA carriers it'll be old
[Xperia Z1 General] seamonkey420:
Same here. Got a C6903 from Clove UK along w/the SW2 for free. ;) i didn't opt for a warranty but take care of my phones.

so far it works great on Tmobile and good on ATT and 3G only. Tmobile you can get LTE/4G if you have it in the area.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
Let me explain- I want to watch HULU Plus on my N10. I'm good until the ads come up then it either force closes, goes gray and nothing or goes gray and I still have the audio of the program (and no ad). I have removed all ad blockers. I have cleaned things up with SD Maid and this didn't fix it.

I found another form that said I needed a new host that didn't have any ad blocking and the way to do this was to delete etc/hosts and when the device reboots it will create a new hosts. So I deleted it, rebooted and now there is NO hosts file at all and the HULU Plus problem continues.

My immediate wish is to re-create etc/hosts to see if this will make it possible for me to "enjoy" HULU ads.

The situation is desperate because I'm up to the first ad in Sleepy Hollow AND Brooklyn Nine-nine AND SNL with Tina Fey.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttovo:
You can get the hosts file from any custom ROM zip file. Or just go into /etc and create a text file called hosts with one line:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Change permissions to 777
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I did get one but had to delete all the hulu blocks and it still didn't work. This sounds better.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradXXX:
It says on the guide I'm following that if it doesn't work with one sd card, to try another. But I only have this one. So I'm looking to buy one that will work. Is there a consensus of what SD Cards normally do work or work best? The one I'm trying to use is a SanDisk.

SanDisk class 4 is supposed to be the best. If you are trying the burning method, try my new procedure instead from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Item 1a.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttablet:
Kingston has worked for me in the past

Leapinlar's revised method should work for you.

But if for some reason you feel the need to try a different card . . . while the consensus seems to be that San Disk are the best, I've been successful using Kingston (8G, Class 4) cards to boot into CWM on my HD+, my Tablet, and my brother's older Color. But YMMV, since I've never really had any trouble booting from SD on any of these devices.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blakkheartt12:
Hello everyone. I added a new line and picked up a note 3 and I noticed the sim card has ISIS on the back of it. Is does this mean NFC payments can be made with the sim card. If so think I should get a new one for my other phone?

Here is a pic:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DKYang:
That's if the store has them in stock. I moved from prepaid to postpaid last weekend and they had to give me a new SIM card, which was the normal one. I think T-Mobile is just preparing for ISIS to become official and ready to use by putting these new SIM cards in these new phones starting with the Note 3. I left mine alone since ISIS isn't even officially out yet nationwide.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ukmdb:
At first I would have given this kit a 9 or 10 but now that I have had time to play with it I would only give it a 6 :(

Now that you have had time to play around with your Exec, How would you rate it from 1 - 10? But please think about other PDA's and Phone's compared to the Exec.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] din007:
I agree I thought it was 10/10 when I first got it.

I would have given the box it came in 9/10.

But as "ukmdb" after playing with it for a few days....this drops to 5/10.

And I`m still finding faults..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
Currently I'd rate my Jasjar a 4/10.

Hardware I'd rate a 8/10 but ROM a 4/10 and ActiveSync a 1/10 and WM2005 application software availability a 1/10!

I stall have to carry my XDA II WM2003SE device with me. I'm waiting for backup software, GPS software, ActiveSync software that works, AvantGo software that Syncs via ActiveSync and room to install eBook readers etc.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] imablackhat:
For backup software I uploaded a backup program @ zevink.com called sunnysoft backup manager, and for gps software I hear if you grab the tom tom cabs it works with WM5 (says the blueangel forum) who also uses WM5 on there devices, such as me. ANd activesync is still slow and sucky to this day :(

JJ users seems to have had more problems then Exec users as far as I can see. I have not suffered any call problems with BT headsets but my Messaging is very unstable. 3G downloads work a charm. But WM5 still looks like WinCe from 1999!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
The EXEC is my third pda and im still messing aroud with it (as i did the others (ipaq & xda2i). Sometimes i dont know why i bother with these things (maybe a filofax and small nokia would be easier). But other times i think it is the best thing i could own. I give it 6/10
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] din007:
I`ve given up...

Gonna give O2 a call tomorrow and cancell the contract.

Maybe next I`ll try an XDA2 or what for the XDA Exec2.

Sony Ericsson have the P990i due soon...

I have already have a P910i and would rate it an easy 8.5/10.

Me too, 3 mda's and every one of them got a loose hinge, if that happens after 3 hours of full time use then after a year id be luckly if it was still in once peice.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Splatt!:
I think the Exec is excellent. WM5 is still very rough, and not well supported by developers, quite understanderbly.

I've had an Ipaq, Motorola A920/925, XDA2 and I think the Exec is far better than any of them were 2 weeks after the launch. I know O2 have had a lot of stick over the delays in releasing the Exec, but perhaps that is why it is apparently more stable than the Jasjar?

I have experianced no missed calls and no email problems, other than me giving the wrong settings. Biggest pain is with BT dropping, but that seems to be a WM5 issue, not the phone.

Plus I had the childhoodlike christmas delight with the amazing Exec box to amuse me for hours!

I had a Nokia 9500

-no working Excel, hardly work with MS Word, slow converting.

-many mistakes with synchronising Outlook

-No Outlook notes sync

-No Internet favourites sync, no sync of files

-weird screen, because not square enough

-sloooooooow

-more bugs then the Jasjar.

-Non standard OS: Symbian. Software only works in specific device. (Symbian software on e.g. a SE p900 does not work on any other Symbian)

-Very little software available.

-not many professional forums available. People become emotional when you complain.

-no Rom update via Internet, but via shop, so travel required.

-In shirt Pocket a 9500 does not "sit" very well. Sticks out too high.

-No UMTS; no automatic switching between WIFI/GPRS/PC etc.

-No USB port standard. No loading of battery via USB.

-No special buttons for camera etc. Very unhandy four way rocker button.

-No headphone jack standard. Need special $$ Nokia cable.

-No lit keyboard

-NO TOUCHSCREEN

-No front camera

-Bad camera viewer

So you all understand why I gave the Jasjar a 9/10

New hardware and new OS: I understand those problems as early adopter.

+Great future ahead

I'm with Foxnolds...

Basic hardware is great, but Activesync 4 puts it back into the dark age!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I have a 9500 and have had a JJ and now have an XDA Exec. I disagree with you on many points, but it is not helpful to argue because it depends on your requirements and expectations. All I will say is that I don't use my Exec a phone because I can't trust it, I reset it once a day, it has very little user memory and the battery lasts less 1/3 of the time the 9500 battery lasts. Also some of the issues you mention have been addressed. Finally, the 9500 is a phone with PDA functions and the Universal is a PDA with a (poor) phone implementation.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Interesting that despite all the complaining on these forums, most people are still very happy with their Universal.

If you only read the forums you'd think the Universal was a dreadful machine. It seems that it's not. :)

Nice idea for the poll.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Yep, 63% of people (at the moment) give the Universal 8/10 or more.

Not bad at all, and personally, I'm even happier with my device now than I was when I voted a couple of weeks or so ago...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Tron_Of_Borg:
I gave my Exec a 9/10 because the hardware for me works for what I need it to do perfectly. Yes there are some software issues that I'd like to see fixed but that is software and is dynamic. Hardware on the other hand...if it doesn't work, then I just dumped a lot of money.

These were my expectations going in:

1. Phone use. I haven't had ANY issues after a good hard reset and corporate mode. I do have a problem with callers hearing my ringtone but I think that is because of MS Voice Command.

2. E-Mail. I run an IT business and I need to be in touch and up to date. Being able to get my email sent to my phone every 10 mins is great - attachments and all. Being able to show prospective customers Microsoft's SBS with Outlook Mobile Access is a money maker for me. This phone literally helps me sell complete networks.

3. Terminal Services / RDP. I need to be able to effectively service my customers quickly or hire employees. With this phone, I can easily TS into a customer's network and perform any function as if I were there. Sure, I could lug a laptop around and I do. However, yesterday, I was in a bookstore and I received a call. I needed to restart the print spooler. I didn't have my laptop with me (in the van) and I still needed to find a book. So, I pulled out my phone, TS'd into my office workstation and from there TS'd to my client and got the job done.

Now, you are asking, why would I TS to my office first. For faster Internet speeds & utils. Also, I have more ways of connecting from a true workstation than from the phone. Such as the RDP Client & the Remote Web Workplace (active-x/https). I don't have the VPN thing from the phone down yet though.

So, the hardware is great. I would like the software fixed a bit but that will come.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
I personally may return mine. The hardware is a 7 - let down only by the poor quality of some componenents.

The software is a 4.

The OEM support is non exhistant and this being my first contract phone .. I'm really f*** scared of mobile phone companies. Who the hell is regulating that lot? Cos some of the stuff they get away with is stunning ...

Sending out refurbs, not honouring DD agreeements, C/S being appualing etc.

All said and done, I dont need a phone, I need an IPAQ AND a phone.

This business of PDA + phone is 5 years away from being worth buying imho.
