[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
my first post, okay i live in ethiopia and i happen to get my hands on a galaxy s duos which i doubt its original since it dont have the duos logo on right top and antutu says i have 3.1 and .3 mp of camera but its the same elsewhere on the phone, ram, processor.

Now my question is my country is not listed on the update list and so can i use a very updated rom from random country and update it? or should i wait to someday it gets in? and if yes with what installer cause OTA is impossible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
okay i have to use odin, but please tell me the the rest!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
first you have to be sure it is original or not check on setting-about

and post also check on the battery compartment back of the phone and post

if it is not original you cant use odin you have to try something else
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
Yeah , Here's a screen shot of 'about'.

just before i saw your quote i attempted to root it and i cant mount the emmc or sd card:(

by the way i saw a review of this phone on youtube by igyaan and they look exactly the same up to down except the duos logo, i said this b/c the first dous looked the same not exactly and i almost picked up a fight with the store owner trying to get them to change it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technomm:
not get update to another version.i already finded
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
From about i think its fine so try to update throgh odin

Go to samsung updates.com and downlad the latest firmware according to thhe code in your case its xx as in the about section and flash it using odin
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
there are a lot of firmwares with xx on the start but different next like xxalj or xxbmd

and the region, i found a GLB one with bmd2 and AFR with alhc ...:confused:

would you like to suggest an update from the site?

nOOb about android currently, i have a better understanding to apple:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
which is your current one
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
wow i appreciate your help but didn't the about part told you that?

:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
your build is xxama2 and from the list those build are for east asia countries like philipines Thailand etc

where did you got this device from?

do you have a package if yes check the package the country code will be there

or flash a firmware that is nearest to you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
the GLB with xxbmd2 which is required for most custom roms is philipines and in bracket it says global. should i go for it? i got the device from a contraband importer in which its the convinient means to get cheap phones though illegal. its very expensive from certified importers. to accomplish that they have to ditch the carton and pretend its theirs so its more likely from asia but no idea where its originally from!

hey i saw this baseband upgrader with KOR v3.4.0

ckandroidupdates.blogspot.com/2013/08/upgrading-samsung-galaxy-s-duos-to-kyle.html?m=1

is it safe and correct or the same as glb rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
it is not global it is globe

it is a telecom company like at&t sprint etc

so that will not work for you just go for phlipines or any xxama2 country and find the updated one
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
bro this is getting wierd by the minute, i saw xx means europe like uk and the rest is kinda foggy. so i uploaded my pda csc and phone so that people like you who understand this thing can suggest me the correct rom. about the stock rom in the link, is it the one? again thanks for the help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
Every code represents a region xx represents uk but the next code is different it will not be like ama1 check samsung updates the first link i gave you

And usualy samsung updates.com and sammobiles.com are genuine sites in we believe which provides original samsung firmwares so downloading from those will be better and i guess your phone is as said is an asia model so download an asian firmware nothing bad will happen if it doesnt work we can try another
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitseMan:
please tell me a specific one, in my country downloading a rom or ipsw takes a long time considering facebook standard connection. so if i download a wrong one the lose is two ways.so please i want to speed it up maybe overclock it with a custom kernel, and my current benchmark is 4170 PMP light rom promise a 5000 benchmark so i need a bmd2 update. i really want to nail it in one go for above reason.

Hi ppl, I have a simple question: I'm using [MENTION=4913184]percy_g2[/MENTION] CM10.1. Can I upgrade to CM10.2 and DO NOT wipe sdcard? I wanna go to cm10.2 only doing Data/Factory reset, system, cache and dalvik. Doing this my sdcard will not work? Or it will work?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bert98:
I think that if you flash any ROM in CWM, SD stays untouched :what:

So, if you flash CM10.2 after a facory reset and a system wipe your SD card will stay as before, nothing gets deleted :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Chronosmiki:
No guys, what I'm asking is: If I install cm10.2 without formating my sdcard, my sdcard will work? Because this rom have a bug that sdcard wont work sometimes. In cm10.1 I has to format sdcard before install the rom, Will I have to do this again to upgrade to cm10.2?

Hey guys, I have a question. I like aosp Roms such as aokp and others

Like pacman ROM. The problem that I am having lately is that I have to

Keep going back to my backed up tweak ROM because I get awful data

Drops when I am trying to listen to my ihart radio or Xm radio at work.

The signal were I work is not great but, with my touchwiz ROM it works better.

The APN setting look fine and say T-Mobile. Is there a technical reason

For this? I love the tweaked ROM, probably the best out. But I am not a touchwiz guy.

Any help would be great!! Thanks in advance

Man, I live in a crappy area in Yonkers New York and my data is very spotty at best but I flashed the latest Probam ROM for my Tmobile Note 2 and am here in Manhattan and getting 4 bars of LTE service, so I am convinced it's whre i live.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ls5280:
Yea, Im on customs roms too and it really hard to track down whether its the rom or the network. To me its one or the other and I usually just give it a quick reboot and everything gets worked out. Its a very subjective matter and hard to pin point down the problem. Based on my opinion, dont know which one it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ibfromoakcali:
i317 running on PacMan Rom

So very happy to see that its not just me. I have an ATT Note II running on Tmobile. At first I thought that the difference between ATT and Tmobile may have been causing the difference. After playing with the mobile network settings for a while I noticed that the preferred network keeps changing to WCDMA after I set it to LTE. Im pretty sure that this points to a rom glitch. Anyway, please let me know if you find a solution

[HTC One X] mortix02:
So recently I installed MaximusHD 21.1.0 but I didn't do the OTA update shown in the thread. Everything worked perfectly fine for about 1-2 hours up to a point where google play and youtube said they had network issues and simply wouldn't connect through wi-fi. But the rest of the apps work fine through wi-fi.

My question is: If I have to do the OTA update, do I have to wipe all data again?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dalton912:
Well, I brought myself to removing my CM10.2 and trying the MIUI ROM. It was a very slick, very smooth ROM. I overall enjoyed it. But with it being a ROM of course it had a few minor bugs. And I did have a few dislikes. So I'm gonna list a few things I personally noticed about it. Fell free to post your thoughts and any resolutions to anything I'm gonna lay out.

PROS:

-a smooth, soft feeling touch that was full of color and a very nice setup. The was miui was set up in settings for example was on of a kind. I was not disappointed. The theme app that was there gave me full control of changing the status bar, lock screen, home screen, etc. You have full control of customization. WiFi also seemed to work just fine.

CONS:

- Sadly, my LTE didn't appear to work. I tried adjusting my setting to fix it. No avail and that kinda was frustrating. But with WiFi working it didn't pose to much of a issue. I also experienced to apps for my gallery, and I was unable to delete it because it was a system app. Some of the themes I downloaded froze my phone, causing me to remove my battery and restart my phone. I wasn't bothered by it to much, I'm rather used to having to do that with previous phone.

Over all if you like a fresh and fast ROM you will love MIUI. But with these few issues I went back to cm. As I need my LTE cause my phone is also a work phone and I need the fastest internet I can get. So feel free to post your thoughts on MIUI and any fixes. Because I would like to switch back and continue using MIUI.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
LTE works you just have to select it in settings when you first flash the rom because it doesn't default on. Reason there are 2 galleries is because MIUI has its own gallery and since we have to use 4.2 camera it comes with its only gallery also hide one in a folder if you dont like one. And theme issue I've never experienced this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dalton912:
Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to flashing back and getting it sorted out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dalton912:
Another thing I was having a issue with was my xda app on miui. When I signed in. I was unable to view any threads
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
That's not a issue with the rom xda app is wonky sometimes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dalton912:
Okay. And how about this screenshot. On the far left page of the left side of my screen. Looks janky. Like a bug?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LightRider_:
I love the visual development compared to all other ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Looks great.. but I'm still in love with AOSP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkside920:
Right out of the box, I think MIUI looks a lot like ios . Maybe too much.

It is a great ROM though, and very user-friendly.

If so, how would the process go? What would it take? What would have to be done in order to achieve this?

You cannot flash this phone with retail firmware.

There is a way to load it to mass storage mode. If you do factory reset, make an image of entire phone drive and share it, it would be helpfull. I don't know fileshare services allowing 16GB files, but there are sites for p2p file transefer. If you want to help us send me a message.

Tried searching, but didn't find a clear answer to the disadvantages of unlocking bootloader for Sony Xperia SP.

Am really interested in unlocking bootloader, mainly coz I am a fan of CyanogenMod ROM's.

If an when CM arrives for SP, I will have to unlock bootloader.

If some doubts are cleared, will unlock it right away. May be. ;)

Few questions, simply answered would really be appreciated.

1. We lose DRM is sure, but can we manage to add DRM keys back on unlocked bootloader?

2. Do we lose Bravia Engine 2?

3. Do we lose front camera?

4. Any other disadvantages? Or something I need to know?

Thanks!

3. Well that's just a weird thing to lose... No we don't

4. Not really... Apart from the warranty void stuff of course

Not sure if you need to unlock bootloader to install CM though. If they made it work with stock kernel then you won't need to unlock the bootloader, if it only works with modified kernels then yeah you have to unlock
