I guess if his HTC one is blacklisted he can check here if shows blacklisted then only good for parts

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
I'm not real sure but the explanation I was given was that because Tmobile moved to the new model of not subsidizing phones that even if I traded my phone to someone else that other person is still responsible for continuing the payments on the phone that he traded to me.

So this dude stopped paying on his account and when he did he essentially stopped paying on his phone...I thought that when his phone got associated to my account (because we actually went into a tmobile store to trade) that I was essentially taking over the payments on his phone and he would be taking over the payments on my iPhone...But alas I was wrong
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmSixNine:
Because the HTC One belonged to the original owner and he was making payments to T-Mobile.

Even though the IMEI was on another account being used it still belonged to the original owner and when he stopped making payments T-Mobile black listed the device.

I got burned on a GS3 last summer.

I had the phone on my account for 4 months and one day nothing.

For the OP he said the guy stopped paying T-Mobile the monthly installments. So this is not an insurance scam.

But in my case it was.

I found out you have 30 days to report a phone lost/stolen when its been on your account.

Then you have another 120 days to follow thru and pay the deductible. Once all the paperwork has been done and you paid the deductible the phone will get blacklisted.

So my GS3 which worked for 4 months is a good parts phone. Ill re-coup about 60% of my money selling it for parts. But i learned a lesson as well.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
So after some research ( I figured out the date I added the phone and filtered throughout phone #'s of people I texted that day) I got the guys phone# and on one of his posts he put a first name (IDK if it's actually his or not). Here are his posts on CL just under the phone section ( I tried to add a screenshot). will the police actually try to help with this if I take them this info?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] instigator008:
Try phoning him first and let him know that you're willing to go to the police unless you get your money back etc.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
Is there a way to text him email him using his # (assuming it is still active) from my computer? I literally don't have a phone since my cell has been deactivated as of right now.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] instigator008:
I would definitely go with a voice call over text/email. Call from work or borrow a phone. Emails are too easily ignored.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
Wouldn't it be better to have a paper trail though?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] instigator008:
Tape the call and follow up with an email.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saucyross:
any updates on this? hoping you got it all worked out and that you hopefully have at least either of the iphone/One back by now.

That really stinks! I have a white iPhone 4 I'll send you 'gratis'; it's an AT&T model but network unlocked (my daughter just upgraded to a 5C.) Just PM me your address and I'll put it in the mail.

xxxxxxxxxx@mms.att.net (where xxxxxxxxxx is the 10 digit number) You should be able to find the proper syntax for other carriers via Google
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
So here is where I'm at.

It turns out this guy called Apple and told them the phone wouldn't work and asked for a replacement (which they did). So me blocking the iPhone did no good.

I posted a listing on Craigslist telling the guy to respond if he saw or I was going to call the police ( still no response).

I responded to some of the other listings he had on craigslist telling him he needed to respond.but I haven't received anything back.

I contacted the police and they told me if I wanted to try and fikr charges or anything they could do that. BUT in order to do so I would need to turn in the HTC one as stolen property and if they did catch I wouldn't be able to get any type of monetary recoup.

So I'm still trying g to decide if I should go to the police and just take a big loss in the ordeal, or sell the HTC one with a bad imei as parts or something so I can get some money back. IDK wtf I should do I really would like to get this guy caught so he can't do this to anybody else, but losing out on $150-200 would be kinda devastating for a poor college kid. Not to mention I would still have to buy a phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
Wait what? Are you sure man? I don't wanna put you out if it will cause an issue or anything?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
Yea I tried to use tmomail.net which is what I found on the internet but I got delivery failure notices.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marceldy:
Hello, could you please tell me if this phone was sim locked ? maybe i could purchase it from you and use it aboard :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
Wait. Did you buy the Iphone from Tmobile on a payment plan? Or was it paid for?

Apple should have the IMEI of the phone they sent - it would be on record as an exchange for the IMEI you had. There should be a way to blacklist that phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
I got it on the Tmobile payment plan. I actually still owe $360
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcat84:
If someone could tell how to figure out if it's sim unlocked or not I do it. I just don't have the knowledge to tell you honestly.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Its not sim unlocked if it was still on a payment plan. They won't do it until it is paid off..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marceldy:
Whenever you figure it out, or unlock it msg me we could come to an agreement if you would be interested.

So if you stopped payment the other guy would be in the same boat?

EDIT: Sorry if I missed it, but is this guy also a T-Mobile customer? If so, TMO can shut down that phone because they know his phone number.

How to use kernel features

This kernel comes with Synapse. Synapse has been written by [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION]. The App works with JSON which will generate from UCI (Universal Configuration Interface). So it is possbile to add an interface for a specific kernel. After installing the kernel you will find Synapse in your App Drawer.

Volume up: 3rdROM

Volume down 2x: 4thROM

Volume up 2x: 5thROM

FAQ

I can't switch back to firstrom! why?

Check root access, check busybox, use SuperSU (Flash it, do not install it from store)

or you open Terminal and type in "echo 1 > /data/media/.rom"

I want to remove 2nd rom. How???!!

Wipe options in romswitcher recovery or in the App

Where are the roms?

/data/media/.(2/3/4/5/etc.)/rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
It's about time!!! Thank you!!!! Downloading and testing RIGHT NOW

Edit: getting stuck for me in the screen you can choose to share apps or data and setting up a password. I hit next and nothing happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Ok sorry for that I didn't test the download

Will fix it later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Jesco-:
just double checking , data means all app data right ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Well it only seems to freeze up on me if I select a password and share data. I just checked share apps this time and it went to the next step fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Yes

But it's pretty dangerous

You could lose all apps and datas of your current rom

Btw:

Don't install romswitcher recovery, just reboot!

Forget a line in init script
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarun_biotech:
didnt select app sharing.. it downloaded the recovery zip and after I restart the application it prompts for reboot but doesnt do anything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dlhxr:
Thank you very much. It is easier for us to use multi-roms.:laugh:

I'll test it when I have time. Still using u-boot for multiboot.:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
So I've noticed that the apk is outdated ^^'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iluvamk:
Work for Toro too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
It should

Only tested on maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
ok app updated

please redownload it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Has anyone got this working? I know OP says Stable but this just feels real buggy. I tried to boot into the recovery as per op but it just boot looped. Probably because I have a Toro, but who knows. I pulled battery and booted into twrp where I deleted the app and the zip it downloaded. All of the folders it made, Everything from this, actually. Reflashed my rom and installed the new app. Now is telling me the kernel is already installed... do u want to reboot now? If yes= boot loop....there's no way kernel is installed I reflashed the rom & custom kernel to be safe

Edit: it doesn't boot loop it never makes it past the google logo

=/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Do you have adb access?

If yes give me a logcat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
No my laptop died a while ago I have no computer at all at my house ?

Unless I can get logs like that directly from the phone but idk how to do that if it's boot looped. ?

======

Decided to try again. Twrp wiped system, data, cache & dalvik. Installed AOSPAL sabermod for Toro, latest PA gapps. Installed the second upload of the app and this time I got a pop up that said something like 'grabbing first boot.img' out something like that, but it never finished, just hung on that. I backed out and tried again but didn't get that pop up. It just downloaded the zip and told me to restart romswitcher. When I open the app again it says the kernel was installed, would you like to reboot now? Now when I press yes it just reboots. It actually boots though. I checked and the kernel baked into the rom is still installed, not yours. Also when the phone rebooted it said there was an update for romswitcher and to open the app and it would download the necessary files again, but when I open the app it doesn't even open at all. I just get the pop up saying kernel installed would you like to reboot. I've confirmed I have root and busybox. It's acting weird again, so I'm going to do a full wipe again and I'll take logcats from the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pasquale91fg:
But your terminal is Maguro or Toro??? This guide is only for maguro gsm!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
can you open this website

d-h.st
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FTW_260:
Yes, i can.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
then try to download it again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Grarak, do you already thought in a solution for the WiFi absence in 2nd ROM? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
yes already fixed I am going to push an update now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Updated!

GraKernel 0.5.1 (details in changelog)

How to update

Delete /sdcard/romswitcher

Uninstall RomSwitcher App

Download the latest one (link in OP)

Install the app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FTW_260:
Grarak, file download is interrupted at the end. Can you upload kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Try to download again

I've tried some min ago everything seems to be normal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creepy33:
Hi, it works well thank you but, to me, colors & white turn too much to yellow.

Can you do something to have colors like franco.Kernel maybe ?

Thank you in advance & thank you for your great job ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
You can change the colors (if the kernel allows) using Trickster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creepy33:
I know and I do it but I would prefer to not have to install Trickster on every rom I test/use ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
You could use terminal

echo "x0000000 y0000000 z0000000" > /sys/class/misc/colorcontrol/multiplier

Replace variables with your value
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
1. Data mobile does not work on second Rom. Wifi is working. Root internal works, but can't install (flash) Supersu.

2. Sharing app is making all the app data/settings of the 1st Rom to be lost. This is a major problem for me and I restored a nandroid. I've thought I'll have only saved space and sync the app betweem Roms. I can't believe the data got messed.

3. I would suggest the Rom menu at boot be on by default. If the 2nd Rom is not rooted, RS couldn't acquire su and you're trapped.

4. Why not only one folder in sdcard using the other as a subfolder?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
1. Working for me check your apn settings

2. If you are only using app sharing everything should work normal

With data sharing you could loose you stuff

3. The kernel will auto root the rom

Download supersu from play store to get root access

4. I am too lazy to edit all folder

Since we are supporting 6 devices
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
They're ok and the 1st ROM connects.

Anything else I could do?

Well, my personal experience showed the opposite. I'm absolutely sure I did not share the settings, only the apps.

It's impredictable... Worse if you have Android versions mixtures.

Will try.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
Grarak

Hey, the PGM app alone has a problem with this kernel. It detects the kernel as a compatible one, but when unlocking the screen, the device gets stuck in the unclock screen and then reboots...

Can you please check it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Hmmm... I'm talking about mobile data and not WiFi. Are we talking the same?

The mobile data is given from my mobile plan provider. It's working in the 1st ROM but not on the second (Slim KitKat).

What should I configure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
?

Apn is mobile data

What's your first rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
How do I install separate gapps for my second ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Install with recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
But wouldn't that affect my primary 4.3 ROM too?

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Oh! Or do you mean the RomSwitcher Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Why should it?

Install with rs recovery and it's fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
As in my signature, 1st is Slim ROM 4.3.1 (latest version 2 stable).

2nd ROM is Slim KitKat 4.4 Alpha (latest).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Check your apn settings

There are many users got problems with mobile data on kk

Disable ipv6 in apn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Great. Everything is working fine now. I'm now gonna flash a kernel without a ramdisk to see what happens.

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Kernel installed. Booting up. It's booting up to my primary (Jellybean) ROM right now. Let's see whether I'm still able to switch ROMs. :D

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

Works fine! So basically a ram without a ramdisk can be used. Vicotry!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KemikalElite:
Okay I finally deleted .secondrom and .rom from /data/media and was able to get CM11 + CM10 working.

I wanted to ask if anyone had tried native Android encryption yet on the second ROM. Does it work without needing to encrypt the main ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shorttripp86:
Is there any chance for future VZW Galaxy Nexus (Toro) support in the works? Although I was able to flash the GraKernel kernel to my device via the ROMSwitcher app, the recovery still reads my phone as a Maguro, and will not flash a 2nd Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Thanks. That solved, i.e., disabling ipv6 in the APN settings.

The whole confusion (for me) was the localized text for "APN settings".

Thanks. Fully KitKat working... WOW :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
I think that's the problem I was having. I'm gonna try again and see what happens and maybe get a log.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Hey Grarak, here's the log for my toro. I'm assuming when you enter your recovery you go to romswitcher, choose second ROM and thats where you flash your second ROM? If you just use install zip on the main menu you would be overwriting your primary ROM? Either way, here's the log.

any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RcrdBrt:
Awesome project!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
A couple days ago when I first installed this great work of art, I was able to boot into rom switcher and install the latest 4.4 slimkat no problem if I can remember correctly. I do remember browsing the nicely configured /sbin directory in my main Vanir 4.3 installation and modifying one of the rom switcher scripts, I'm pretty sure it was a script for the customized cwm recovery, and I just happened to notice a couple build.prop device checks at the top or something like that, I'll check it out tomorrow. I upgraded 4.3 Vanir to the latest version, lost romswitcher temporarily :crying: .;. gonna install romswitcher back to have the cool hijack-style cwm recovery along with twrp, a great kernel by grarak, and that nice recovery symlinked multi-(multi-purpose busybox) <--(btw if you like this binary and wanna try it in system for some reason, don't rename it to busybox and copy it over, run install comands,etc... you have to make busybox a symlink like in romswitcher's configured /sbin; otherwise you launch the recovery function or it doesn't work. lol did this in a booted Vanir)

Btw, made backups in cwm recovery as well, everything in this functions real well.I've been using SuperSU 1.75 no problems, Chainfire made a very clean, performance and security balanced su binary as usual. I tried installing the latest cwm-su binary with zero-success. It ended up giving everything root access for a while and then broke.... ## And it didn't even try to clean up all of SuperSU's files. I mean it leaves the f***in /bin/.ext/.su binary there from SuperSU, which has been installed to the same place for over 6 months...No attempt at all in cwm Superuser's install script to remove it as well as other files..On the otherhand, take a look at Chainfire's thorough script... Not bashing cwm either, they just need to fix this lazyness asap, not turn their back to other installed su binary's especially when their superuser was created with security as a primary concern. Eh, going off topic here, sorry bout that.

[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] The kernel is fantastic. :good::good:Best battery life I've seen in all my 4.3 experience with hyper, deadline, UV'd MPU-off, some nice vaux3 and vusim regulator UV's, really diggin' the 460 MHz as a min frequency, very efficient and snappy without the usual frequency spikes I experience with other kernels. With some pgm support or a scripted way to insmod the module this would be perfect. :D

edit: Also I noticed that the superuser installation included with rom switcher installs the su binary and links it to /system/bin. Not sure if I read correctly in the OP, but if this is a supersu su binary, doesn't it need supersu's installation method? I read in some post for Supersu that the binary shouldn't be linked to /system/bin cause it's static, maybe another related issue. Can't find the post but thought that was worth mentioning. I'm not too familiar with how that stuff exactly works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
try to open your zip file and search in META-INF folder for updater-script

open that and remove the first line

Will it be stable to try pac man rom and cm11 ?? Sorry, but new to this awesome kernel. I'ld really want to taste rom switcher ;):thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grarak:
Yes sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awandroid89:
A quick question before I try this. If I install and apply xposed framework and module on 2nd rom. Will it effect the 1st one also?

and

If I want to update my 1st rom can I update using default recovery (TWRP) instead this kernel recovery?
