[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucasrca:
Hello.

I have a huge problem.

I can’t remove the Safestrap 3.11 from my XT910 Razr.

Something went very bad during install.

Here's what I've got:

I’ve installed normally, with first root, etc. Busybox ok, root ok, even the Safestrap was OK.

Then I started to install my stuff, like gmail, etc.

A few days later, my phone FC Superuser and crash, freezing. Ok, nothing unusual. I reset the phone.

So that's when my problem begun.

When I modify, delete or create something on the phone, like photos, configs, etc, after I boot up the config returns to the scenario right before the crash.

It's like a snapshot from a virtual machine that keeps going back even if I don't want to.

So, I started to find a way to repair the instalation.

Below I'll describe some methods that I've tried:

1) Uninstall safestrap 3.11, unroot, re-root, reinstall Safestrap 3.11

2) Same thing above but with the 3.60 version and a newer busybox.

3) Install over the current 3.11 an older version for the ICS, resuming with the same steps.

4) Recover using RSD Lite 6 with retail and two other kind of ROMs.

5) Recover using my Linux box with fastboot and adb.

6) Reboot to recovery mode on Safestrap and use adb shell, gparted and fdisk to delete partitions.

7) I've umount all partitions, used fdisk to read info and write new partitions.

8) Use CWM to replace Safestrap. Didn't work.

9) Force all kind of tilt, crash, system failure, etc, to brick my phone

10) I've used tons of script, like unbrick.sh, with fastboot procedures that did not work for me.

ALL KIND OF DANGEROUS STUFF, just trying to brick my phone or at least break the safestrap method to restore the "snapshot".

Anyway, I'm still here, trying to figure out what kind of sick disturbing method Safestrap uses to make my phone immortal.

Can someone help? Does anyone have a clue?

Please suggest methods or procedures to solve my problem. I'll apreciate that.

PS: My bootloader is LOCKED.

PS2: Sorry for my bad english. Not my native language.

Best regards.

WM 2005 1.6C using standard ringtones as found on the device takes ages to start rining.

This is so bad that I have missed several important calls. To test this I have phoned my cell from the landline and from the time I can hear the land line ring to the time the cell starts ringing takes 10 plus seconds.

This experiment was repeated with:

* the cell in the cradle

* the cell out of the cradle and ON

* the cell out of the cradle and OFF

And in every case the delay was too long.

Does any one know what could be the cause of this? Is it jus me or do other users have the same problem?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] rhmartin:
What is the location of our ringtone files? Default: \Windows\Rings or SD Card?

Have you tried using the default ringtone?

Do you have MS Voice Command installed?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] Duan:
I have tried using the default ringtone and yes I do have voice command installed.

Is there a speed issue with voice command?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] knitho:
Just put the ringtones in to windows rings folder. Than its going to work. i have installed voice comman too
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] Duan:
I now have it down to 2 rings before it actually starts ringing. Achived this by moving files to the rings directory.

Weird though....

Are there any applications that is known for slowing down WM5 1.6c
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] mariom:
Same problem on universal

Sorry if this isn't himalaya related but I found this problem on the O2 XDA Exec too, so I searched and found this thread. I missed several critical calls from potential employers (who all hide their numbers and didn't leave messages). Consequently I hard reset my xda and now have it running the bare minimum, just to receive calls on time! I had voice command on there before which was useful, but I'm not risking it again. I was using a standard ringtone before too.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] rhmartin:
voice command option to announce calls sort of slow down the call receive.

some today plug-ins (spb & bpp) displaying sd card memory status also slows down the device coming up from power off!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] Duan:
After performing a hard reset and not installing voice command or any other applications it seems to be behaving well.

Hi,

I flashed ARHD 22.0 but i cant get more that 2 bars with random no service(with x sign ) for my signal . i flashed 4A.16.3250.24_10.38.1150.03L radio and it seems to fix the issue for me , but after seeing this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182823

I was wondering where can i find the firmware package for the new base that i need to flash before reinstalling ARHD 22.0 .

I am S-on , T-MOB010, PN0713000, Hboot 1.44 ,unlocked , rooted

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3330987:
With S-on, I don't think you're able to flash a custom firmware unless it's S-off which you can hopefully achieve as you're on hboot 1.44.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naiz:
actually from what i understood while reading around , with S-On you can flash the Firmware if it have matching cid and modelid of the phone after relocking your boot-loader , and thats what i am trying to locate .
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naiz:
ok i am actually a bit confused , i went back and looked through the froums , this is what i found :

1)Does firmware.zip contains radio?

Yes, it does contain radio, and for S-ON devices the only method to update radio is to flash latest firmware.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182823

You guys said i have to be S-off , which is not the case or did i miss something? . but still according to that the only way to flash radio on S-on devices is through the firmware but i only flashed my radio without the firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245615

i adb pushed the radio.zip to my sdcard and flashed it normally like any rom and my bootloader shows the new version just fine .

any ideas ?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MJScore:
I'm rooted, unlocked and s-off with the new firmware. Can I just relock and run a stock RUU to start from scratch? Or do I also have to get s-on again too? I want to go back to stock and then reroot and install a 4.3 rom. Right now my storage says I have only 5.5gb left. I would just like to clean out the storage space. I also found out that when you go back to a 4.1 rom with the new TWRP I lose touch screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jerdog:
*** since people can't seem to be held accountable for screwing up their phones because they can't read... Here's the disclaimer: this is in the Note 3 section (TMO Note 3 section to be exact). It's your own damn fault if this bricks your phone. As with anything else, you assume responsibility for any and all negative results. ***

So here's the skinny. I SIM-unlocked my UNACTIVATED T-Mobile Note 3 via Chainfire's RegionLock Away app.

I bought the Note 3 SM-N900T direct from T-Mobile with the sole purpose of using on AT&T - without thinking about it being SIM-locked to T-Mobile. Of course I found this out when I put the AT&T SIM in out of the box - only to be reminded that it was locked and I needed the network unlock code from T-Mobile.

I also didn't want to activate a SIM on T-Mobile (spending at least $10 for a week-long plan) just to turn around and spend $25 on an unlock code. So after seeing Chainfire talk about fixing the Region Lock on the Note 3 I decided to give the following a test:

1. Put the T-Mobile SIM (unactivated, unregistered) that came in the box into the Note 3

2. Rooted via Chainfire's CF AutoRoot

3. Bought RegionLock Away app

4. Ran the app, and instead of rebooting - I said Reboot Later (I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)

5. I then powered off the Note 3.

6. Took out the T-Mobile SIM and replaced it with my AT&T SIM

7. Turned on the device - BOOM! no Region Lock, and NO SIM Lock. I was able to setup my APN without any "wrong network" errors, and it's working like a charm.

I highly recommend you purchase Chainfire's app and give it a go. Follow the steps EXACTLY as I laid them out above. I can't guarantee anything, and YMMV - but this worked for me.

​
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Confirmed... It really does work. I just did it... I now have a another T-Mobile Note 3 working perfectly with AT&T's network...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Warrior1975:
Would this work on note 2?

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
The app says when doing whatever is doing... "patching modem" so... In my opinion you should not even think about doing it... unless you have balls of steel... Lol

... you might end up tonight without a Note 3 (saw your other posts about your Note 3) and without a Note 2...

But I guess you also have a Note 1...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mircury:
I'm just wondering how technically this is possible. Sure it clears the blacklist out but it's not supposed to do anything to the SIM lock. Maybe the SIM lock looks at the same portion of the modem that the region lock uses and that gets patched.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wonsanim:
Ok,Is working I just follow the steps and my device also is SIM unlock now:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsjusttim:
After doing this is it required to change the APN to get it to work (fully) with At&t?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Yes... Here... LTE APN
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsjusttim:
And then I'm assuming to use t mobile again, I'd have to change it back?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
No... It will apear again when you insert TMO sim...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsjusttim:
So when I put in At&t sim, I have to change it manually? And when I put T-Mobile sim, it auto changes back?

Reason why I ask is...

My cabin is in an area where closest T-Mobile reception is 52 miles away. I plan on buying a Prepaid At&t sim for use while at the cabin but changing back on the road home. It's much cheaper for me this way than just using At&t. I will be making this trip several times a year and am trying to figure out the best way to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
You just add the AT&T apn one time... After that you can swap sims a million times and both apn's will always be there and they will change accordingly automatically...

You can get a dual sim card adapter for your phone... (I have a triple sim card adapter...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimfire72:
So is the unlock permanent, or must it be run again every time you take an OTA and/or install a new rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ekerbuddyeker:
Can you provide link that dual sim adapter
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
I think its one of those things you won't know until it happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mathieulh:
You will need to run it for every OTA considering the CSC list would get overwritten.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jerdog:
Quite possibly true.... But you are rooted to do this which means you won't be getting OTAs :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Chainfire:
I think I've stated this in another related thread, but it is currently unknown when exactly the modem is updating automatically. I've custom region locked my own Note3 for testing, and flashing complete firmwares (with wipe, different CSCs, and the automatic after flash booting into recovery to apply CSC) did *not* affect my region lock, or set it back to what it was originally (in the applied CSC). So it's not like this *must* be updated or triggered when a new firmware comes in. On the other hand, any OTA update *could* be executing code to apply a new/different region lock or SIM lock. In other words, nobody knows if/when, but it could be any time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Actually, in the picture, that's my triple sim card adapter... Search on ebay dual sim card adapter. I got that a while back on ebay...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
SIM unlock involves NV file edit (do you remember EFS?) which is a part of modem I think.

I used NV edit suggested in xda to successfully unlock Galaxy Tab original.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BIGMOH:
What you said is so true :(

As the device i have is Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8VLUBMJ4 :crying: tied to the Canadian (ROGERS) network.

Is there a method to flash any of these Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (MI7, MJ1, MJ3 firmwares) and then use the app to SIM unlock and then re-flash a Canadian (TELUS) firmware?

Just wondering :fingers-crossed:

Thanks in advance! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
I'm not sure, but I still think you should be able to unlock your Note 3 using Chainfire's app. Are sure you're following the directions in the OP properly? Also, have you tried asking in the correct forum for your device (if there is one)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BIGMOH:
Yup, followed it instructions correctly and i tried Chainfire's app - simply does not work on my device, as its not supported -> MJ4 (Canadian)

Although i was able to unlock my device via http://unlock.canadagsm.ca ($19) received the SIM unlock code in roughly 3 hrs 30 mins.

Now my Telus SIM works perfectly on this Rogers phone :)

Thanks for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rhetorician:
Hello all:

I've been meaning to get this thread for about a week now, but I've been bogged down with other device issues related to HTC. Anyhow, given that I used this app with success in a manner different from the OP's procedure, I figured I'd share in case it might help.

First, I purchased my device from T-Mobile just a little over week ago and after some brief, rather cursory research, I obtained root via Kingo.

Next, after running a root diagnostic, I confirmed that KNOX was not tripped and--after uninstalling virtually every third-party system app (including Samsung Hub, etc.)--proceeded to use this application. Since I have little need for an unlocked device, I wasn't concerned if it worked--I just thought I'd be a test dummy.

Upon installation, I ran the app, accepted the disclaimer, and stood by; nothing happened. So, I ran it again and I was quickly informed that the the process "appeared" to work, and, as suggested (by the app), rebooted the phone.

Finally, after confirmation that KNOX was still happy, I removed the battery, inserted an AT&T sim card, and immediately gained service. I made a couple calls, texts, and explored the web, all without any problems.

It's worth noting the AT&T sim came from an iPhone 5c and was significantly smaller than my T-Mobile sim card. However, as I mentioned, it didn't matter; with careful alignment, I was able to gain network access seamlessly, without any noticeable difference whatsoever.

In sum, after rooting, rebooting, uninstalling bloatware, I used the app in the manner described by the developer. I can't imagine an easier, user-friendly process; literally, one-click sim unlock.

I hope this might be useful in some way as other folks consider further development, etc. Also, just to be sure, I attached a screen shot that reflects my device information (please let me know if anything is personally identifiable. I can't imagine anything would be, but you folks are the experts :)

Thanks!

Hi All,

I have a T-Mobile Note 3 (SM-N900T), that has been rooted via Root De La vega.

I ran this app on BOTH the AT&T sim and the T-Mobile SIM, and tried following the directions exactly as posted, but it will refuse to connect to AT&T at all (will just say searching, then eventually no service).

Any idea what I may be missing here?

Sorry i keep getting confused about this region lock... but arent usa t-mobile note 3 already not region locked but only sim locked?

and with that.. you can just call tmobile and tell them your taking a vacation overseas and that you need the unlock code.

Which is what i did so now my phone is unlocked. so does this mean its still region locked?
