[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
What you want is not possible. You can only make backups after you root. It is also not neccesary. Just root, flash do what you want.

If you want to revert to stock, just download the stock rom you are currently on and flash it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagall:
Well. About that i know. But The only release i find for my country "sweden - vds" is modified by a different provider and brings more stock crap then normal... But Well. .If is not possible.. can u atleast till med The steps i asked for in correct steps and what tools u recomend ? I want linux to work.. atm i use stock

EDIT: also, i dont want to do it that way, i have a comfortable setup on my cell atm, the reason for root is Linux and

remove of bloatware... custom roms looks nice, feels nice but always got some issues with the hardware..

The official Gingerbread update for the phone came with the new baseband, & since then all rom's gb, ics, and jb are made to work with the new BB. Hence the phone needs to be on new BB either through permanent flash, or through the old BB fix after every new rom.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to use the Universal as a Modem ?

I installed the Modem Driver , but I cannot get it to work !

Are there any changes I need to make in the LAN Settings in the Internet Explorer ?

Thanks

Micman
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] V-Ger:
Guess you're referring to USB modem.

1. Disconnect USB Cable.

2. Universal: START/PROGRAMS/Wireless modem

- Set USB as Connection Type

- Tools/Options: Check Use preferred GPRS / Verify APN

- Start the MODEM

3. Connect USB Cable. PC should detect the modem.

- Install drivers from original CD (D:\OEM\APPS\Drivers\USB Modem)

- Start USBModem_Dialer.exe - located in the drivers folder (Fill the UN/PWD, APN...)

- It will create a new dial up connection. Click CONNECT. It will probably fail but don't worry.

4. Try to connect using the created Dialup Connection

- Reenter UN/PWD.

- CONNECT

GOOD LUCK!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Micman:
Thanks a lot !!!

Does this same work as Bluetooth Modem ???

That would make my day.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] applecom:
When i used my old XDA2i and XDA2s as a wireles modem (USB or Bluetooth) i did as said above, but when you enter ""wireless modem"" it turn the phone part off for making and recieving calls and makes the phone a medem only.

BUT on my Exec using the smae toshiba laptop i have made a bluetooth conection to my Exec, then told the laptop this is a modem on the new Bluetooth comm port.

When i ask the laptop to dial the new conection it dials the default APN in the phone and works fine.

so i dont use wireless modem, and i can still have the phone on for recieving calls.

Can someone please confirm that if you use a Exec as a ""wireless modem"" it dose or dose not turn the phone off so it cant recieve calls or have they now made it do both at the same time

Thanks

John
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] V-Ger:
Making a BT Connection is even more simpe!

1.Put Universal in discovery mode.

2. Search for a new device on PC / ADD Dial Up Networking Service

PC will install a Bluetooth modem

3. Create a dial up connection, enter UN/PWD & Phone number: *99#

VOILA
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Micman:
Hi,

great , thanks a lot for the tips, but .....

It installs a 33600 Standard Modem Driver, and I can't find a Bluetooth driver.

Am i forgetting something ?

Micman
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] V-Ger:
Perhaps you should reinstall/upgrade BT drivers.

BT Modem is a part of BT Stack/Drivers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] V-Ger:
Actually I am not 100% certain, but it seems like the BT Connection also automatically starts a Wireless modem service. If I am not mistaken, my BT Modem conneciton also drops when I answer or make the call.

So to answer your question: Yes, you can receive the call. But when you answer, the dial up connection drops.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] philtech44:
All sounds great... now then.. has anyone managed to get their Universal working a s bluetooth modem under Apple Macintosh OSX 10.4+

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ArkAngel06:
I see people with transparent nav bars, but the ways I know how to do it aren't working. Gravity box removed transparency settings in KK, and I have the nova beta, but there seems to only be an option for transparent notification bar, not nav bar. So what am I missing here?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Lionex1:
Works for me. Try reinstalling nova or clearing the data... Keep in mind that it'll only be transparent on the homescreen, not in apps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ArkAngel06:
Yeah, I know. It works on my Nexus 5 like it's supposed to.

I reinstalled it and it works until it randomly stops. One time I just changed the wallpaper, and it got disabled. t's annoying to have to reinstall and reset all my icons and folders manually just to have it stop an hour or so later.

If I save a backup and restore it, it restores the black nav bar too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Lionex1:
Try clearing cache and dalvik... or switch to ART to see if that solves anything. Other than that, I'd say a system restore is in order.

[Q] Is there any way to get GSM network to work on cyanogen based Alien rom, in xperia j?

I just rooted my Xperia J 4.1.2 (.31) yesterday and went ahead with AVD which supposed to be based on stock xperia rom. But unfortunately its was a bit buggy. SystemUI.apk suddenly stops working and many apps kept crashing on me .. few other roms like slim were asking to be downgraded to ICS which i dont want to... :( then came Alien rom to my rescue. this rom is really clean not to mention the Acid Audio ENgine and stuff ...T____T I so badly want to keep this rom its ****ing perfect..!!! if only if the GSM would work, which while installing i didn't know that no cyanogenmod 10 based rom has GSM support !

Now i'm whining here because i just want someone more knowledgeable than me to give me the confirmation that that i have absolutely no other choice, other than going back to the AVD. LIke the GSM fix for the ICS baseband is there positively NOTHING out there for JB :crying:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
You need to downgrade to ics first, then flash any cm10 based rom, or gsm.will not work.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] LucifeLMartelL:
just one more doubt...

getting out of alien rom and reinstalling AVD i screwd up and soft bricked my phone.

SO i had to use a pc to reflash the stock JB. BUt that has locked the bootloader again coz the PC companion can detect my phone again.

so just need to confirm certain things...

SO if i flash stock ICS then i will have to unlock my bootloader again right...? I presume i will have to root my phone too all over again... ? before installing the rom ?

PLease HELP!!!

Ok this is sooo irritating...!!! T____T

I flashed my phone with 4.0.4 ICS, st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf form Matej X's 4shared folder.

http://www.4shared.com/folder/25Mb7Dws/Xperia_J.html

the ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf from that folder when put into firmwares folder of flashtools, doesn't even show up !!!

i figured to root st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf from this guide http://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics

but not inspite of downgrading to ics, when i installed MIUI5 rom i'm i'm getting no simcard ad hense GSM is not working all manually scanned networks are shown as "UNKNOWN" !

Now i have flashed back to stock ICS rom...

when i flast the stock rom using flashtool the simlock.ta file gets ignored. what's up with that, wherever i have read about its not supposed to be a issue...

Can someone help me this is really getting frustrating....

Can some one help me find the link for ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf ICS stock rom which will be detected by flashtool...

MIUI5 was really nice, I would like to use it. Its based on cyanogenmod10 fxp 226 ... My issue with that is i use the instruction here to install it, but its condusing.

https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/howto-install

It says "6.Wipe device

from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version

!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device

7.Partition format

is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise"

Now in CWM what do i have to wipe...???

There are too many options to wipe....

1. wipe data/factory rest

2. wipe catch partition

Under advanced

Wipe delvic catch ...

Which and all am i supposed to wipe ?

Please bare with me guys i'm at my witt's end here...T____T

I just want one CM 10 based rom working for me... That's all ... :(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
Here's the thing mate, AlienRom works perfectly fine for me.

Just flash over stock ICS and Not JB

and select Use 2G network on settings. Give it another try :), oh and I highly discourage MIUI, it may look pretty but it is lag as hell. Browser takes sooo long to load and so lag
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] LucifeLMartelL:
Hey Racer X,

I was thinking about the same thing... Alien rom is the only rom where i encoutered absolutely "0" lag, Brilliant work there man thanks a lot. :)

Would it be possible to flash it directly on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS because i'm not able to root ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf with any tutorial here... :(

SO far i have tried this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2071817

and the other option being flashing to stock 11.0.A.7.5 and using Unlockroot.exe

But windows won't even detect the exe file and Google chrome's calling it a malicious file and won't let me download it .

SO i have sort of hit a roadblock with 11.0.a.7.5

So i was hoping i can flash alien rom straight on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS, which i rooted with this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] LucifeLMartelL:
Omg...!!! I did it ... :d

OMG... I just went ahead and did it... this is sooo f****** AWWWWSOME...!!!

Now i have Alien rom with GSM WORKING !!!:good::D

I didn't even go for 7.5 i just stuck with .18 and went to alien rom 4.1.2

BTW can i keep the cyanogenmod upates setting to weekly or should i keep it at manual/???

I don't want to loose the gms connection just coz it updated on its own ... ?

What do you think ?

I got into some trouble, and I don't know to fix it. I was Sense 5.5, custom one from AndroidRevolutionHD and wanted to install the 4.4 KitKat from them. I rebooted my phone into CWMR, I installed the ROM with Aroma installer and after went back to CWMR, when I wanted to restart it an error came up, something like "need to fix permission bla bla bla". I didn't press yes cause I thought I can do it after. Now my HTC ONE is in a continuous loop. It boots, stays at HTC logo screen for 1 minute, after it reboots in recovery mode but when CWMR should appear, it comes up for a second and after restarts again in normal. It does this thing continuously. Can you tell me what I should do to fix it? I have it unlocked and all of that. Please help me, today I have an appointment as well and now I don't have no numbers.

Howdy all. :D I have a wifi at home which works with web authentication i.e. you connect your phone to wifi and on opening a browser, it redirects you to an authentication site wherein upon entering your username and password, you get connected. The authentication page requires you to keep the tab open and work with another tab, otherwise you lose the connection. When working on a PC, it works like a charm. I keep the tab open and wifi sticks for long even when you're not active. But on a smartphone (I have a Galaxy S3 here), it's a living hell trying to keep it stay connected. I've tried keeping the browser app resident in memory, created a tasker script to browse the URL and reconnect on certain intervals which honestly is too tedious and needs a better solution, used wifi web login apps which don't work to my satisfaction i.e. don't connect just when connection is lost; but in all these cases, the connection just seems to disconnect making me reconnect time and again :/. I would be utterly grateful to anybody who could suggest a solution for me for this as this is seriously making me lose my sleep. :D
