[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Um, no. That picture doesn't indicate an unlocked bootloader. All it is is a big rectangle with the word "Unlocked".

EZ-Unlock is for the GS3 - there's a bootloader unlock already available for that phone. I'm sure that this tool may actually work, but we KNOW that CASUAL does unlock the GS3 bootloader.

For further proof that this isn't correct, read the thread at rootzwiki about this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/

Specifically, "how do you know it's unlocked"? Landshark says

"Reboot your phone. If it reboots much faster than before, especially if the Samsung screen is only on for a blip and you don't see the custom unlock symbol on the bottom of the screen, it worked and your bootloader is unlocked."

That "custom unlock symbol" means that the phone has detected that you're running custom software. It has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not the bootloader is unlocked. At best, this software just does what Triangle Away does and resets the custom flash counter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
There is no custom bootloader at the bottom of the screen. Is there any other way to tell?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Install Triangle Away - it'll tell you the current status.

For example, my phone says

Counter: 0

Binary: Official

Device: SCH-I545

System: Official

So, that *usually* means that I boot without the unlocked padlock/custom status.

Sometimes it shows up as custom, I don't know why.

However, that lock has nothing to do with the bootloader. If you really think the bootloader is unlocked, prove it: use Goo Manager to flash CWM. If the bootloader is unlocked, you'll be able to boot into recovery. For a locked bootloader, that flash will softbrick your phone.

Be forewarned that for any SCH-I545, that flash will fail and you'll have to restore it from a factory flash to repair it.

Basically, the claim here is pretty amazing - if there's really a generic bootloader unlock it would be quite an accomplishment,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
I'll load cwm tomorrow. I'm going to bed now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
If it works tell us right away before they lock that to lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
Well I'm on mdk and they can't make me update. I'm afraid to try lol. The person who jtag'd my phone is at the world series. As soon as he gets back to me I'll get you guys posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
Ok I'm ready to flash cwm. I know how to flash twrp from goo manager but am unaware of how to flash cwm. Can you point me in the right direction?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It doesn't matter. Flash any nonstandard recovery. If you're able to use it, it'll be quite impressive as nobody else has been able to do that.

However, I wouldn't recommend it. If you do this with anything other than a developer edition device, you'll need to re-flash the standard ROM to get the recovery back.

However, don't do this on my behalf as you'll be wasting your time. I'm done feeding the troll.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
Watch the troll comments bud. Unlike yours mine was jtag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Here, i'll tell you if your bootloader is unlocked or not. Download terminal emulator from the play store and enter the following commands;

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/backup/aboot.mbn bs=512

Then send me the aboot.mbn file from the backup folder on your sdcard. If you literally want it on your sd card and not the internal sdcard then substitute sdcard with /mnt/extSdCard in the command above. Alternatively you can use adb shell and pull the file to your pc and send it, just make sure usb debugging is enabled and run adb shell from a pc

adb devices
adb shell su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/backup/aboot.mbn bs=512'
adb pull /sdcard/backup/aboot.mbn /"destination folder on your pc"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
I've copied and pasted what you wrote in terminal emulator.

Here's what it says
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
I was able to contact the guy with the jtag. My phone was just taken back to stock with the jtag. It was a Loki exploit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Sorry I don't have an S4 with me, but try this:

su

mkdir /mnt/sdcard/backup

then enter:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/aboot.mbn bs=4096

Edit: I see you said you were able to contact your JTAG provider. By the way was your phone on ME7 before it was flashed to MDK via JTAG?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
OK, sorry. I seem to have mixed up two different stories.

Apologies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
No it was bricked on mdk. From what I read there isn't a way to jtag back. Here is what I read. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437635

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bigcountryed:
I love this tablet! It's super fast, the battery life is great, and the s-pen features solidifies it in keeping it a next gen iPad killer! But I have one question. Is it me, or does it seem like the auto brightness is a little too dim for the screen most of the time? I find myself when playing games (mostly dark ones like Need for Speed Most Wanted) that I have to turn the auto brightness off and manually adjust it in order to see and keep up with the fast paced action that's going on. I also find myself doing this for movies as well & I wanted to see if any of you guys had similar issues.

PS, it works great when I'm in a bright area, as the auto adjust does its job correctly and crank the screen up, but I'm rarely outside with the tablet. It just seems like when I'm inside of a building the screen is entirely too dim

Thx,

Eddie

[Motorola Droid RAZR] melvintmelvin:
Hi.

I have a rooted VZW Droid RAZR Maxx and I would like to convert it into a "ipod-touch" style device. It is important to me to disable the CDMA, LTE and GSM radios, and render the device unable to be used as a phone. I'd also like to remove the "Missing SIM" warnings.

My preference would also be to have it still be able to use the Google Play store to install apps.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mickyvai:
just remove the sim card and put it in aero mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] melvintmelvin:
It still will dial 911.

This is being given to a small child, and we do not want to take any chances with it being able to make a call to emergency services. She's already used the emergency dialler of other phones and thinks it's fun.

Aren't there packages that can be removed to eliminate support for the wireless radios?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Try call blockers from playstore, maybe this will help

This works, but if you turn on Airplane mode, then turn it off, the radio turns back on (at least on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus). I was hoping that there was a way (app, rom, etc.) to permanently disable the cell radio.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pdonahue:
I have just moved this question here from the General section, hope that's the right move.

I have just managed to root my old LG P880/4xHD using advice from this forum. Thought I would try on an old phone first. One reason I tried is because I cannot update Android via the usual About phone, Software updates, Check now for updates. The Android version installed is 4.0.3. I am in Australia and it is possible the phone is an overseas model (got it from a friend in LG). Has "Not for Resale" stamped inside the back cover. When I try to update Android, I get an error message "Registered Error - Your device is not registered yet." I had hoped rooting would get around this but it hasn't. Have looked up old forum posts and there is talk of using .kdz files and all sorts of other things. Can anyone help me get around this registration issue but please be aware I am a novice and most of the older posts I read, I couldn't understand, so simple explanations please. Thanks, Peter

it is a development edition not a consumer edition. read here .

hey so guys, i just flashed cwm recovery latest .43 and i was going through my usual routine of wiping for a new rom.... well this new cwm has a new wipe called wipe factory (i pressed it by accident because i am so use to having wipe sd card there) and then a few minutes later i bump into this post concerning it

now my IMEI is a generic 00499 and have no call signal at all!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jt.one:
i wanted to bump this.

so heres what happened. i went to my tmobile store to buy a micro-SIM card for my new Moto G. The register guy thought I was gonna use it right away (but i didn't because the Moto G was still on its way via delivery) so he prematurely cut my old sim card and switched my phone number to the new micro-sim card. When I had realized this- i went back to the store and told him about the mistake.

Since you cannot reactivate a sim card that has been cut, he gave me a fresh regular sized sim card for free with my number back on it and so I went home.

Now for fun, i figured "hey what happens if i put this new fresh sim card inside my galaxy nexus with the nuked generic IMEI?"

............ to my SHOCK, my notification drawer said "T-MOBILE" and I had full bars of signal. I could call, I can text and everything! I went to my system information in settings menu and it still had the generic 00049 IMEI! So for those who had my same problem, try replacing the sim card!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] 9kracing:
I was wondering if any developers would be willing to look in to the Moto Assist app, I know there's a few of us that would like to be able to toggle the driving functionality on and off at will.

I work from home programming, so it's great to be able to just vocally tell my phone to read me texts, or answer calls... but then I'd like to be able to turn it off when I go out to dinner haha. I've already tried work-arounds like forcing car mode on, or downloading other apps. Nothing works as well as the stock Moto Assist app, but unfortunately it only works when I'm driving, it must pull from the GPS.

Anyway, if someone could look into this that would be awesome, it's a bit beyond my ability regrettably. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

EDIT

New finding in SmartActionsHanashi.apk ... there's a service com.motorola.hanashi.CommunicationMediatorService (my guess on which service it is) and I think (I dont do much reverse engineering) we just need an app to activate the service after we edit the SmartActionsHanashi.apk to make the service exported (it is false ATM)...

I would try it myself but with no root I cant reinstall the SmartActionsHanashi.apk

Edit like 4

SmartActionsHanashi.apk also has all of the right resources. so i am 90% sure that this is the apk we are looking for.

If anyone would like to try my idea PM me, you WILL need root.

In all fairness, it's a completely different situation. I know with my Droid DNA it took MONTHS to see anything other than slightly modded stock ROMs.

Is anyone still working on this by chance? The only thing about my Moto X that I wish was different is having the ability to switch having the phone read my texts aloud on and off at will.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boystuff:
Hey all so I picked up a T-Mobile T999 the other day phone seems good. But she's got a couple issues.

Issue 1 edge only data, checked the about and imei seems intact, phone is rooted/midified and previous owner claims ignorance.

Issue 2 power button. Seems to be software related, only the first time after booting/unlocking phone does the power button read a keypress, it oddly enough goes straight to shutdown menu, not screen off.

Appears to be on a stock rom. Just rooted at this time. Any idea's out there? Obviously restoring my original NV data won't work in this situation as the previous owner is the one who modified this device and claims complete ignorance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The best place to start would be to Odin flash the firmware. If you want to remain rooted, use the root66 version. Both can be found in my firmware thread linked in my sig. This way at least you know it is FULL stock with no unknown mods or changes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
1. - Can only figure out after your Rom issues are over. Follow Doc's advice.

2. Is your power button stuck or just plain bad ? You may have to take it to a T-Mo shop for repair.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boystuff:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume hardware wise the power button is fine, judging by it's behavior I'm going to make the hypothesis that it is software related as it only registers key presses the first time after unlocking, and only goes to the power off menu. It boots the phone quickly without issues.

If by perchance the previous owner messed with the dialer code functions, will a stock odin flash restore those codes to factory spec?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes Roms and kernels can potentially re-map the buttons. A re-flashing of Stock may or may not wipe Dialer code Changes. Especially those done in the NV domain.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boystuff:
ok odined back to stock UVDMD5 doesn't seem to have accomplished anything. oddly enough it didn't even wipe the phone.

so whats the next step in my troubleshooting and repair lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Next Step, check your Access Point Network choices. Those typically are under Settings > More. (I forgot where they are on Touchwiz. :p) Your APN should be set to FAST.TMOBILE.COM. If it is not set to that one, you need to. Also while there, check on Network Mode as well. That should cover LTE and WCDMA.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boystuff:
T999 didn't have lte lol it's set to auto gsm + wcdma
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Odin doesn't wipe data. If you're still having problems, boot recovery and factory reset. Wipes all user data. Including internal sd.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boystuff:
still no 3/4g ok so how do I reset NV parameters and fix the imei if it was at one point corrupted and not restored properly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Is it currently zero? If not, does the imei in Settings match the one under the battery?

Have you checked online or called T-Mobile to see if it's been blacklisted?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boystuff:
phone has a mismatched imei. waiting for T-Mobile to contact me back gonna ask them about the original being blacklisted or not. now is there a way to restore my imei?

edit: just got off the phone with customer service imei isn't blacklisted, so now how do I restore the original imei? doing so "should" fix the data issues I hope.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypnonaut:
Hello.

I recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7in and everything seemed to be working just fine until the system eventually prompted me to update the Samsung software. I followed the steps, the tablet downloaded the update files itself and rebooted in order to install the updates. Problem is, during the reboot/installation process the screen remained black with just 2 lines of pixels on across the screen, I though this was part of the booting process but it just stood there for more than 10 minutes so I decided to turn it back on. Everything seemed to be fine, but then an error message came up saying there could be problems with the software (i didn't pay too much attention), but after this it won't let me install any apps. After an app is done downloading a message pops up saying "unknown error code during application install -110", plus my computer (or any other computer) doesn't detect when it's plugged in via USB cable. I've tried doing several factory resets and wipes and still have the same issues. Tried installing Kies but it won't detect it either.

How can I repair the firmware without having to connect the tablet to my computer? Is there anything I can download directly to it or transfer via Bluetooth to re-install the software?

Any help will be very much appreciated!
