I second the motion... Ban him and teach him a lesson.

Call me a prude or whatever but this site doesnt need such degradation. It has been a while since I posted coz I really couldnt contribute much, plus I had to reformat my PC (I wanted to curse XP but I didnt and just reformatted). Anyway, I was appalled when I saw the F word in bold in a thread title. I was engulfed with mixed emotions when I was reading the posts (yes, it's a girl's prerog to have lots of emotions on such small matters)--- I felt sadness for Buzz for being maligned like that, admiration for VJ for being diplomatic in handling things, fury with others who were still able to see this as a racist thing, understanding for those who wanted him out, and sorry for v4victory, for his reputation, though non-existent might never be redeemed anymore.

Anyway, the good side of it is that it took someone like him for me to see that everybody cares about the integrity and "cleanness" of this forum. And when you do something positive for the forum, people will recognize it and defend you when the need arises. So Kudos, v4victory. I pray that your phone be unlocked one day but scathing words wont help. Be happy. Life is too short to be obsessed with a phone... (yeah, i need to tell myself that once in a while too)

IMHO banning won't help, he'll subcripe again with different credentials :-(

Ignoring is the best I guess & lock the previous threads with his, he must be male :-(, 'misalignments'. I totally agree that he's abusing the board & an insult to all of the greats like buzz out here. Don't think I used one of buzz tools, but reading his posts, even if it was only copy/paste, he really earned my respect.

:oops: my second post regarding v4... (somehow I can't remember the name, it just doesn't want to stay in my memory, don't know why ;-) ). Just ignore him, just ignore ..., just ... zzzzzzzz sorry fell asleep v4 is so boring

I don't agree. Banning someone is very useful. Having to get a new id is a hassle, and if they do, but are civilised then good, lesson learnt. Otherwise they can be banned again. You have to do something. Nothing just encourages this sort of things.

Backtrace his IP to his ISP, report his activity to the abuse@ address for his provider and see if you can't get them to pass along a warning under the threat of legal proceedings under the incitement to racial hatred act.

Stab in the dark, is this guy posting from either an as9105.com or a freeserve / .pol.co.uk IP?

Buzz, xda2jojo he's all yours. We all know what violation of the forum rules can lead up to.

I vote for 'Banning & reporting' to his isp.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] markgamber:
Vote? For what? Whether forum rules and decorum matter or not? I see that not only are the offending posts STILL there, but now others are adding their own obscenity laden tripe to the end of them, ensuring they stay active and somewhere on the list. Good luck with that, I'm off to more mature pastures, like howardforums.

i was going to post a whitty comment, but i really cant be arsed with this subject.

i dont know about you guys but race has nuffing to do with the people i meet on the internet. if it did i'm pretty sure we could start our verry own britishnet or the englishnet

the internet is something that brings people from all over the world together for reasons of interest "ie the universal in this forum"

any one who sees 6 posts from the uk and thinks were being racist is obviously racist against the brits.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] arisg:
I stand corrected and retract my comment. I most certainly did not intend to sound racist.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] monakh:
More 'mature' pastures like HowardForums? Bwahahahahah!!!! Come on! I ran from there because the sheer mediocrity of the posts being made by callow individuals was beginning to take its toll on my common sense. The maturity level of this site far exceeded that of Howard Forums UNTIL v4victory came along. That may be because this site is small and HoFo is huge, but please, let's keep it in perspective. If you need to know what I am talking about, try any other forums (i.e. Motorola or Samsung) at HoFo.

By the way, I know arisg has retracted his comments, but just to reiterate: This is not a racist attack on Mr. V. His imbecility has defiled this most excellent forum and it really has ticked me off. I actually reported him to someone at xda-dev but to no avail. I am 110% in agreement with my British counterparts. Just look at my locale and you will know that I am far from British ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Morituri:
philtech44, you need to read the post again.

Anyways, I don't see that v4victory has posted again, either he has got the message or has been banned.

Whatever has happened to him, let's make sure that if aomething like this happens again, we either ignore it completely or the posts get deleted and the OP banned.

Cheers all.

i just noticeed this thread, and ive just read the thread of doom,

i must say that without buzz, i would have had a boring blueangel for a whole year, now i have a universal, ive to play with that yet, and im counting on buzz to spruce that up a bit for the coming year ahead!

i agree that banning him from the forum wont make a difference, as there are many ways he can get back onto the forum, even if his ip is banned, if he is ignored, he will get bored, and if he carries on posting his filth on these forums, the offending posts should be reported to mods and either the post deleted or the offending words removed( better have the lot removed from what ive seen)

** personally i think we should get his email address and kill his inbox with spam mail, reguister it to porn sites , mawahahaha !! **

but personally, i think that if he wants his device unlocking so bad, he should contact his provider, because anybody like him does not deserve the right to have anything from this website for free. and i hope he kills his device in the process!!! :D

[LG Optimus G (International)] atv:
hi, merry christmas and a happy new year, i received from a friend today an lg korean version f160s, acording to some post, over the internet the specs are

lte and network	CDMA800, CDMA1900, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC,

but if you check on lgetool site

http://www.lgtool.net/phones/F160S.html

LG F160S

LG F160S is a GSM phone supported by LGtool.

Instant unlock by IMEI is supported by LGtool for this phone.

And since i have worked with some samsung and motorolas from sk korea, if you flash a compatible version form another model acording to the one that your trying to unlock, if succeded it works on a gsm network.

i believe that sk telecom uses gsm phones but with the imei and unlocking options removed or hidden.

this phone has an imei, so i believe it could work on a gsm system, and if posible can someone please, guide me, on how to remove sk bloatware to be able to input a network unlocking code? or how to change the rom to a compatible one for sim unlocking purposes.

examples

motorola xt910, xt720

samsung shv- e120s, m110s, e210s, e210l. shw- m110s m130k m130l, m190s, m240k, m240s, m440s.

that are from korea, and can be unlocked and used in gsm systems.

thank you very much indeed for your help
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I am no expert, but I would be REALLY surprised if that is possible... According to specs, this is not a GSM device, and it makes no sense (to me, at least), that the GSM functionality would exist in hardware, but somehow be "hidden" or disabled in software. As regards to your examples, those are in fact GSM phones - both Motorolas, Samsung E120S, M110S, didn't check further...
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
posting this to just answer and because there is no forum for lte2 here...

f160 / lte2 is a cdma phone just like any other Korean LG phone like F180.

so just pop in the sim and it will work, but you wont get edge.

3g / lte are also dependent on the frequencies of your country and providers.

i had f160 and there is no english counterpart for tghis phone like f180 which has e975. its a decent enough phone, just root and remove the korean apps.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
The first part is correct, the second part is not quite so... F160 is indeed a CDMA phone, but very different from F180, which is a GSM device (with WCDMA and LTE as well). The OP's question was about using F160 on GSM networks.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
which part you didn't get, i had this phone, this is same as f180, you will not get edge, but rest its ok. gsm network works.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Calm down, will ya? The part I dont get is that you said youself it's a CDMA phone. :) F180x models are all listed as GSM devices, but F160x are spec'd as CDMA only. I don't have an F160, and I don't have a reason not to believe you - if you are saying it works on GSM networks, it means the published specs are incorrect, that's it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
lol sometimes its like chating you have no idea what other person is thinking or whats his mood.!

i was pretty normal, perhaps my reply seemed im not. :P

yes F180 is speced wrong because its similar to E975 so they just put like e975, F180 ... blaa blaa. but it is exact to what gsmarena says for lte2.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Nah, it's all good... :) Your response did sound a little bit... overexcited, but I sometimes get that, too. :p

On the topic, though, it's interesting that the phone which is very specifically listed as CDMA only (GSM Arena is one example, but other places have the same apecs) actually works on GSM networks... It does sound like it's similar to the F180 family then.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atv:
thanks

hi thank you very much for the guide anad help,

as for the example of the motorola xt720 motoroi from korea (just to confirm about the options removed),

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1589076

unlock korean XT720

Go online and get you unlock code , update you phone to a custom rom you will find plenty of these on this site CM7 i used from J.Y daddy, then place in you sim and you will get request for a unlock code.

"Korean phones have this functionality removed so updating is the only way".

as for the use of the phone just like it is now, i just poped a 900 and 1900mhz claro sim card and, no network code request, but emergency calls only,

in the mobile network menu settings

Network mode

select a LTE/3g network

so unless it has a hidden menu to change bands, i will believe that it's imei in this case is only for LTE non gsm calling at all, or i do need a custom rom to habilitate other options.

i always believe that gsm arena listed 100% accurate specs.

but no, sometimes it says that it is not a gsm device specially, in asian devices, and at the end they turn to be gsm capable.

thanks, any other advice?
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
inshort

F160 will work on gsm sim if its not carrier locked for some reason. (mine was not, no code request or anything)

F160 will work with GPRS but not EDGE on gsm sim.

F160 will work on 3G if the frequencies match with the carrier in use.

custom ROM or Stock, doesn't matter. hidden menu is same as for e975, search for it.

dont want to be rude, but we have enough talk about the phone here, you can find info elsewhere.

you can always talk in General section but not in device specific forum.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atv:
hi

hi thank you very much indeed for your time and help

dont want to be rude, i asked for help and guide, for me and others in my case.

this is the best forum for my belief, and wish, to ask to the world's best, not elsewhere

my mistake, i assume that the title, was indeed the appropriate, but seems i was wrong.

so maybe i can find info elsewhere, or talk in another general section, not in a device specific forum,

as you kindly suggest.

[LG Optimus G (International)] noni shoni:
Please tell me about F160

I am buying F160 but saw that it is CDMA. Please tell me can it support GSM sim of India. Its urgent :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Yes it will support gsm, data (3g / edge )you have to see for yourself, GPRS should work with correct APN.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefytim:
OK, newbie here.

I've had my TF300T for around 2 years (or maybe its just one :confused: )

Anyway, I finally broke down and unlocked, rooted and applied the latest Omni ROM to my system without issue.

So far I like it just fine but would like to explore other ROM's as well.

Being a newbie I'm sure if this is some simple question.

Can I just flash my system with a CyanogenMod ROM without doing anything else?

I am using TWRP which seems rather easy to use.

Forgive the newbie question as I'm still learning all the parts and pieces of all this.

Cheers
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Did you install the kitkat version of OmniRom? If so, then you can install the KitKat version of Cyanogenmod without a problem. The TWRP version for Jellybean is different than the KitKat version.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I shouldn't think it would be a problem, especially if you do a clean wipe first. I know there's a lot of discussion and debate about when you can dirty flash or when you should clean flash, but I like to play it safe so I always clean wipe if I'm switching roms JMHO.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefytim:
Yeah, I installed the kitkat version of OmniRom so I was thinking it would be OK to install CyanogenMod after doing a wipe first.

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
Yeah, you shouldn't ever dirty flash anyways though unless you are just updating nightlies. From ROM to ROM dirty flashing is a no-no and could result in FCs or bootloop unless you wipe data.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricktendo:

Other than Dalvic Cache and Cache what other things need to be wiped to constitute a clean flash?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uhswrestler:
OK so I;m a total noob to this awesomeness, but my problem is no matter how many apps Ive downloaded to help me flash a ROM to my Galaxy s4 SCH-I545 I simply do not see the advanced options in recovery mode. Am I doing something horribly wrong or is it a simple fix that I will probably feel totally embarrassed about. Also the little green android dude always shows error above it.Please Help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
You really need to educate yourself. Just jumping in like it appears you are will only cause a lot of problems. No one is going to take you step by step through the entire process. Read, read, read. Research as much as you can. Then research some more. It's the best thing you can do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uhswrestler:
Believe me i have researched a lot but i cant find anything on why my advanced options wont appear when i go into recovery mode. My green android guy always shows error when i enter recovery. Is that something i'm doing wrong, if it is is there a link for someplace i can find the fix to. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Do you even know what your build number is? Are you rooted? If so, what method did you use to root? What recovery are you trying to use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uhswrestler:
My build number is MK2 , yes i am rooted i used the Vroot program to root my phone which i have seen in a couple of videos and they said it was safe to use. and i have used the twrp method and also the manual methong up volume button + home (center button) + power ON button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
If you actually did research you would know that you can't install a custom recovery to a MK2 build. Your ONLY option is Safestrap. (Search).

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
"They" said Vroot was safe to use.

Did "They" also tell you to then try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP? Then "They" lied.

You're on MK2. As I've told five or six people today, you can't have a custom recovery on any I454 other than those on the MDK build.

First, there's several different phones called the Galaxy S4. The hardware and software aren't the same between vendors. The Verizon model is VERY locked down and won't permit you to flash custom ROMs. For you, on MK2, Safestrap is the only way to custom flash.

Read the threads here on Safestrap and the thread in the development forum to help you understand what you can do.

They're long threads, but read them. If you can't spend the time to read, don't flash, as you'll just brick your phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uhswrestler:
Thank you for understanding. I am sorry I am a noob and as expected I didn't know what exactly to research up. I didn't know as a NOOB that I said I was that the build number was my problem. There for I researched what I did know and you can see when i became a member and when I decided to post this and every day in between I was trying different methods on how to get a custom ROM on my phone. Luckily for me you were very resourceful and I learned a great deal from you and appreciate it a lot. I know what you are doing is really aggravating and i praise you for your knowledge. I just hope next that next time we are in contact and I knowingly ask a noobish question you will be a little more understanding with me. The only reason that I posted on here was because I felt that I had tried every possible way and was doing something wrong and it happens to be that I just couldn't do it the ways I was researching up. Thanks a lot for all your help boss man I hope soon enough I can pick your brain for all the knowledge you have when I come across another problem with rooting a different device or just some questions about a certain Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uhswrestler:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
there is nothing mean about commenting on researching and fully understanding before proceeding. We have dozens of posts every day in this forum by "noobs" who don't take 5 minutes to read anything. And then expect massive help when they screw their phones up....

There are all sorts of youtube videos on just about every aspect of GS4. We have countless threads on what you can and can't do to the GS4 and yet every single day we have new posters asking why they can't load any rom they want or whats taking so much time to get a bootloader unlocked,,,,we have dedicated Devs who basically donate their time to all of us. The least we can do is educate ourselves in what we can and can't do....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uhswrestler:
And you are very right with your statement I completely agree with you. But as a noob to this I tried to educated myself as much as possible The only thing I hate more is not being able to figure something out on my own. But I had no clue what was my problem to the fact that I couldn't flash a rom with all the possibilities and programs at my disposal. It was just not knowing what to search not the fact that all noobers are lazy
