[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedoubleyou:
Rooted my phone with with RDLV before the OTA, never froze anything in TiBu, but disabled.

Installed Wanam and such and made some changes to I am assuming build.prop (notification bar, notification prompts, etc.).

Did the OTA, lost root but not all my mods (including ad blocking as well), but now I show as "custom."

Refuse to risk Kingo to re-root and repair status. Sorry China.

Can I factory reset with MJ5 to get back to full stock without soft brick or must I re-root and undo my changes?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatorp003@aol.com:
Yeah i just did the factory wipe in recovery and it's clean and still rooted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedoubleyou:
Yeah, I lost root, but the "custom" status has me concerned, especially in light of all the recent lockdowns that I won't be able to get 4.4 without fixing the "custom" status.

I just want to be sure doing a factory reset will clean up my mess without softbricking.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatorp003@aol.com:
I would be sure to do it from the recovery partition not from inside the phone. As far as root it might clean that up as well I remember I was not rooted after ota however after reset I was again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedoubleyou:
So I did this today, which un-did all of my customizations except two.

1. SuperSu is still installed left over from RDLV I guess.

2. The boot up AT&T sound is still gone after I made that particular mod.

Unfortunately, I'm still showing a "custom" status in settings as well. I can't think of any way to undo this without rooting again (with Kingo?) until we get an Odin-able MJ5.

Is this a correct assumption?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] converse5:
Hello guys, I don't know where shall i post this but it is android related so here it is.

I have two android phones

1. Google Nexus S

2. Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300

Now my sim card is inserted in S3, i want to use nexus s to send messages through S3, when both have wifi turned on.

There are applications like mightyText but it is for PC and tablet.

What i want is that to be able to send message from nexus s, which ultimately is sent through S3 by the sim number.

Of course this must happen through wifi, but i cant find any app that can do that. If you any any or do you have any idea then please do let me know.

Hi

My girlfriend has been using my Gnex for about the last 9 months and after putting her phone on charge last with everything working fine when it came to the morning her Galaxy Nexus GSM seems bricked.

I cant boot into any modes and when I plug into the PC without the battery even omap4440 is not detected. The phone doesnt seem to charge and no charging status is shown on the screen when its plugged in,

I've tried 3 different USB cables and two different computers but I've not had any luck with it.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotor00ter:
After a lot of reading and some trial and error I was finally able to get S-OFF on my Bell (Canada) unlocked HTC One using the universal 0.45 rumrunner. I wanted to change my phone into the Google Edition so I followed the guide and everything went well but I missed the part about flashing the RUU twice and once I got that failed error I assumed it hadn't worked and I manually rebooted the phone. When I booted back into bootloader my phone was on 1.54.0000 instead of 1.55.0000 which it had been on before. The problem is that my computer won't recognize the phone in 1.54 bootloader so i can run my adb commands. I know the drivers are installed properly because it recognizes it when the phone is booted up normally and my adb commands work and I can reboot the bootloader from there but once it goes into the bootloader I can't get it to recognize the device. For reference this is on a windows 8.1 laptop, I also tried on a windows 7 desktop and an older windows 7 laptop with the same results. Is the issue with the HTC drivers not compatible with newer versions of windows? Or do I need to try to find an older version of the drivers that are compatible with the 1.54 bootloader? Or is it something else? Any help to steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Once I can get the bootloader recognized I can flash the RUU again and everything should be good to go.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeceasaurusRex:
Okay, hundreds of posts like these, I know.

But I unrooted my GS3 today (it was on the MIUI V5 V1.2 iHackers ROM) and went to the default Stock ROM from sammobile.

I think I may have used the wrong one, since now I have the no signal error. (By this I mean it was [I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_I9300XXEMB6_HOME.tar.md5]

I have the 0049**** IMEI error.

And I can only guess that wasn't right.

What choices do I have now?

Could I install the correct stock rom, perform the 4.3 update or what?

The obvious guesses are that it is to do with either: MIUI (and if it is, should I just reinstall it?) or the stock ROM being wrong (which I don't know if it is)

Basically I didn't do an EFS backup (was never actually told to in any of the threads I visited, sadly) and have basically no way of reverting it.

If all else fails, would Three repair it for me?

EDIT:

Okay, so it wasn't the stock ROMs fault.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Please we do not need these identical posts day after day .

Read the faqs and guides its all posted .

No EFS backup you pay for a service repair .

Hello. Today my notification sound stopped working. My ringtone plays fine, but when I receive a message for example, there's no "Ting", the phone just vibrates. I'm using Cataclysm rom and franco's r13 kernel, and I've also flashed Drummerjed's volume mod. I don't know exactly when I lost notification sound since my phone stays on Silent/Vibrate for the major part of the day...

When I go into Settings > Sound > Default notification sound and select a tone, it doesn't play (if I go into Phone ringtone everything plays fine)

Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hero746:
I've had my phone for roughly 15 months. It has been my first foray into Android and I absolutely it. What I don't like is TouchWiz. It makes the phone a hassle to use because of how slow it runs. I've heard rooting makes a phone faster but I've always been hesitant to root it because of how it voids your warranty. However, since I'm eligible for an upgrade come February so I figure I should root my phone to experience rooting. I don't want to do it if it prevents me from getting a new phone.

Can anyone help me out here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mycars12:
you can always unroot your phone and im pretty sure that if you are eligable for an upgrade that they arent going to search your phone, more than likely is they send straight to factory and just flash it and send your phone to people who broke theirs lol

just saying from what i heard of, but you can root your phone and unroot if you want to experience how it is to have a rooted device, my phones een rooted for about year and a little more than half, soft bricked so many times but thats the fun part :)

flashing gets pretty addicting lol, im like a flashaholic

but trust me you'll enjoy it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hero746:
Don't phone carriers have a way of knowing if you've rooted your phone in the past? The last thing I want to happen is to be told that I have to pay full price for a new phone after having it for like a week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krzysiek_CK:
Straight from t-mobile website:

"As long as the phone you're trading in powers on, is not cracked, and has no water damage, you only have to pay a down payment for the next phone when you’re ready to upgrade."

At the same time it also mentions this:

"Once the used phone is received at the Trade-in Center, it will be tested and inspected. All personal data and corporate IT policies will be removed."

I would recommend reverting to stock first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hero746:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsfredo:
I've heard that if they find it rooted, even if it is a big IF, they are able to void the warranty. Don't think anything it matters for an upgrade though. Either way, they probably won't check it, and even if they do, I don't think they will do anything about it. You can always go back to stock to be safe.

I heard for the Note 3 they are adding a detection hardware that cannot be undone once rooted, even if you go back to stock. These kinds of things are made for people who like to find ways around them though, and these people usually win.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] himura-san:
Operators..

Totally Agree!

I've been dazzling the web trying to find a way to unlock an 'Unlock Bootloader Allowed: No' on an Xperia J bought 2nd hand/owner at a Portuguese eBay kind website (OLX). It had the box, papers, cables, etc and the SIMLOCK is and was already unlocked, but I realized that the phone actually came from Vodafone Operator (different from mine), and actually is the only operator that sells it. I don't know if it had any kind of contract associated with it, I'm just the second owner of the phone.

Although I agree with the sentence, the truth is that it takes ages to make that kind of law reach Portuguese Operator market. They don't even know what we are talking about booloader's or recovery (literally)! They just send it to Sony and.. be prepared to wait...

At least from a programming perspective, I've tried to unlock the bootloader with no sucess.

Yes, I know there are sites in which, in exchange for a fee, people get their bootloader's unlocked, but still, if there where I could unlock it legitimately, I would, like I did to my other 3 android phones in the past.

Why this all of a sudden? Why so much burocracy? You buy the phone, you can do whatever you want with it, most of the times, if you screw up, it will be noticed and charged for by Sony Support.

I just want a phone that I can Max out it's capabilities to my needs and explore roms.

Simple as that so, why BOOTLOADER LOCK and SIMLOCK laws? I understand the second but, who came with the first one??

Cheers

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gruftler:
Well done:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Brunuz:
Well I'm from Portugal to and follow this thread and sent to sony the "email", the respond first with the generic email of them and when I explain that only wanted to unlock fastboot the sent me na explanation that if "root status say no" then you can't unlock. I sent to them the third email claiming that in other countries sony resolved that problema for many users, in fact i sent to them the link of this thread, well now let see what happens.

Just on question, when we see "unlock bootloader allow: no" on status, the only way is new hardware right? The fact that in some contries the phone is picked up to unlock is to put a new motherboard right? Unlocking fastboot is only by hardware and not by a code given by sony?

Cheers

Re: [Tutorial] Unlock completely your Xperia (For "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO")

I already unlocked my bootloader mate, but it seems that users still post bad and confusing info on xda regarding xperia 2012 (and later) devices

- First of all, people, root is One thing, and it does not need an unlocked bootloader to do it.

- Second, there is SIMLOCK and No, if you unlock the simlock it Does NOT unlock the bootloader

- Third, bootloader unlock is only necessary to flash custom roms, like cyanogen, paranoid rom etc.

Then, to answer your question, no, it doesn't need a motherboard change. You have two ways of unlocking it.

The first one is the one you've already tried, the sony way..

The second one involves expensive software. 300 bucks.

Another variation on this method is a website, in which you'll only need a usb cable and a team viewer connection, paying 15 pounds (about 18€)

In alternative, i've found out a way for those who live in lisbon, portugal, as I described in another post.

Like I've said before, it's not made by me neither I endorse it, as well as each and every user is responsible for their own device.

Tricky Question

I got my unlocked bootloader yesterday from my carrier Telcel Mexico YAY !!!!!!

I was doing fine till i started trying to install CM11 steps i followed

1) unlock bootloader whole steps with code

2) flash boot.img

Then i got a bootloop i think i needed to root first but that was not in the instructions lol

So i tried to flash 6.2.A.0.400 (that one was the newer i got) no problem

I google the root method of 6.2.A.0.400 sound in too many steps and 6.2.A.1.100 is supported by Doomlord but i got no tft

then OTA update showed up i said OMG i need this installed but the install failed.

and now my bootloader shows as unlocked bootloader allowed = NO

So im like WTH also *#60# is so weird "UNKNOWN APPLICATION" lol <------------- mistake

i hope flashing a complete firmware doesn't re lock the damm phone can some one has seen this.

I will try the newer version of 6.2.A.1.100 root then install again but i fear that i wont be able to flashboot again lol

Thanks in regard for reading.

[edit] flashed the software for st27a and all seems good but i think i cant install cm 11 since its only for st27i
