Happened to me with a LG G2. bought it off craiglist. came with retail box, at&t case, manuals, etc.

check IMEI and was clean. month last the phone just stated "device blocked" when I tried using it.

The seller reported it stolen so they could collect insurance coverage money.

called AT&T and local police, neither care to help.

sold it on ebay for 95% what I paid for it. didnt loose money, just a bit of time and hassle.

still have a Diztronic LG G2 black case, which I dont have much use for it now.... actually temporary using it for my new N5 until new one is deliveried

good luck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Possibly. Or bought one, insured it, sold it, claimed it stolen, got a replacement.

So is there no way this phone could work in another country or SOMETHING? I know that this is my fault for buying from a guy who scammed me, but there has to be some way this phone can work for at least somebody else, and I don't just have a fancy music player here.

Douche's number still busy signal, no text responses, btw.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah may work in another country but knowing its blacklisted and selling it is unfair IMHO. You need to find out which carrier it was blacklisted against and appeal with the fact you have the receipt.

You at least need the reason for blacklisting

You may have to "take the hit" on this one though.

this thread is absurd. if law enforcement cant or wont help then all you can do is use this as a lesson. you look silly even following up on it here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
There is other possibilities other than lost/stolen. Carriers in Canada are abusing the Blacklist system and using when customers don't pay their bills. They blacklist the IMEI that is listed for hardware on the account. This is a possibility here. Since you got the receipt its likely the seller has a delinquent account.

Buying used is very risky for us Canadians now a days. Carriers hold too many cards.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Yes, that's the most likely scenario when you see a receipt. :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Inb4 OP stole the phone and has no options and needs us to give him ideas

im not accusing anyone but there could be a chance ;o

especially asking if the phone can be used in other country's is a bit sketchy.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
I suggested it..thinking the phone might only be blocked on his current provider. I wonder if the IMEI search I linked above came back as blocked globally? It's a paperweight if that is indeed the case.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
If its from the play store then google might have blocked it globally

but if its from a carrier maybe its that specific carrier but you know the deal AT&T and T-Mobile like to take it one step further
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
OG purchase from BrickMortar store, OP bought secondhand BNIB with receipt. No idea of the terms of original sale..which is a big risk, imho, on cell phones. Swappa uses Paypal, so at least you don't bear costs of a similar situation.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
Is it that much of a stretch to think that professional thieves with insider access could fabricate a receipt? Maybe not the most likely scenario, but you have to admit, it's definitely possible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33KK:
Highly unlikely somebody would be able to fabric a receipt.. I would know from phone shop experience.

This happened to me once.. If you have the genuine receipt, take a screenshot of the ad, and get all the info on the guy who scammed you as you can.

Take all this paperwork to the network and prove he sold you the phone. They will unblacklist it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
Don't be hesitant to call and try to get it figured out. You can't be charged for buying/dealing in stolen property if you truly did not know it was stolen. The mental intent to buy a stolen device would be needed for you to actually commit a crime. However, now that you know the rig is hot, you should to contact the carrier to try and get everything worked out. And as far as all this mumbo jumbo about the receipt....receipts don't mean a whole lot when you consider the fact that modern thieves are very capable of forging authentic looking receipts when they deal in stolen property to take advantage of innocent customers like the OP. Good luck man.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheGStreets:
Hi, I have a Galaxy Y Duos S6102. I have a bit of idea bout the ROM, Recovery, Kernel and Firmware so I have a few questions related to my phone which I wanna customize as much as I can.

I have been searching around and I wanna know, can we install the same ROM's/Kernels/Firmwares for both the devices? Namely Galaxy Y Duos S6102 & Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360??For eg, Hyperion+CWM/Twrp and so on...

Since we know bout the developing and ongoing stages/phases of development of different products and (Unfortunately but true, and no offense, please!) how they claim it to be stable but usually or sometimes aren't, I would be really glad to have some guidance as in what ROM/kernel/Firmware/Recovery I should be aware of and all that. I have searched all, but I am just not able to decide which ones are good, for example Hyperion seems awesome but I am not sure if it is stable or not. Also, sometimes there are combinations such as firmware+rom, and so on... i wanna know which ones has these combos and can we add in customized if we wish? For eg if the rom comes along a firmware, can we flash our own firmware as per choice? What bout stability?

At the end, I will have my pre-requisites written down here:

1. Listen to a lot of music and sometimes YouTube. Sometimes a few games, fb and such.

2. Wanna use some cool apps that requires root.

3. Need battery, a bit of performance increase too if that's ok but battery defo.

4. Customization in looks, like in AOSP and so on, not necessarily AOSP lock screen but custom looks in general(like in ViperOne, not that I wanna/intend to compare)

According to these, can I please have someone suggest me individual working combinations of ROM/Kernel/Firmware and Recovery? I know this is not ethical to ask such questions(comparison related or "What's best", respects to all developers) but I am just trying to see compatibility not asking which ones are the best. I will be greatly obliged to anyone who helps, I would much appreciate if someone who owns a similar phone and has the same mods on it will suggest so I can take some reviews bout their experience too.

best rom/kernal threads are not allowed on xda

if you want to try the roms feel free but if this turns into a I reccommend xyz rom or what roms have less bugs I shall report it for closure

for your other question

yes you can install 5360 roms on duos however they will not fully work

for example you wont get dual sim support and the usb smali in the status bar is different so it wont connect to pc

you would need to correctly port them and mod some files

all roms features and bugs are on the op of each thread

stock based roms are "stable" as you put it

cm based roms will have bugs due to lack of drivers - all will be explained on the base rom used thread

use the updater script and binary from a custom stock rom for your device - normally works - you can edit the text if required
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheGStreets:
Weird, my intent was not to compare roms or anything but just to make sure the roms are "compatible" with my duos n wont strip down functionality(like dual sim, both sim r being used). I find this strange that u find it ok for everyone to try multiple combinations as u would, ignoring the fact that some people might have different priorties n maybe dont wanna play around like that. I am not asking whats best, i am askin whats not best for my phone. Can u comprehend? secondly i do understand the stock versions r more stable thats why my question remains... Being which ones r "compatibly" close-to-stock with my phone. I dont wanna brick my phone or strip down functionality, my device is different n obviously there r some things which wont b compatible for my device.. i just need a good combination of rom recovery kernel n firmware possibilites or options i can choose from with the above pre requisites. I dont see no comparision. Its like a person is simply asking what shoes will fit him the best if he has a particular size of feet. Lol
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
please read the rules of xda before posting

best rom threads are not allowed

this includes asking for whats the best rom to do xyz

it also includes the oposide of above ie what rom cannot do this or not best for this

all the roms features are on the op

if its a duos rom it will support dual sim unless otherwise stated in the bugs list

I shall now report this thread for closing as it seems you are trying to get which rom is best for your needs

To answer your question about shoes

well obviously if he is size 10 he will require size 10 shoes - what size 10 shoe he chooses is down to personal preference which is why what is best for him is not best for someone else who is also a size 10 - get it? thats why best threads are not allowed

(german page)

here is an english review for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYdgY7uLa3Q

I'm gonna order this one. Since it comes with a 11pin adapter and works with the S4 it should also work with our note 10.1 2014.

I decided to get it because it has USB host and HDMI all in one adapter. Sadly it needs power to output HDMI, but my TV has 3 powered USB ports anyway so it should be no issue.

Gonna update here once i get the package ;)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] clouds5:
Works just as expected. Happy with my purchase.

-USB OTG doesnt require external power works well, speed is high enough to watch movies from USB sticks.

-HDMI needs external power, and works out of the box. Connect and good to go.

But Android really needs some HDMI out options... My TV defaults to 1080p ->24hz<- which is just terribly choppy... I'd prefer 720p 60hz or something if 1080p is too much (shouldnt be since the tablet runs at even higher res/60hz all the time).

Is there a way to change HDMI output signal on the tablet? I didn't find anything.

Another weird thing, the same adapter is not working for my Galaxy S3. No idea why.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] quietfool:
Hi all, I'm looking for a similar solution but I'm not very clear on the distinction between the 5 and 11 pin models etc, so finding it hard to make a best guess on what will work for the 10.1 2014.

I tried this because ideally I wanted to go from micro usb to VGA for flexibility:

http://dx.com/p/micro-usb-male-to-vga-female-audio-mhl-adapter-cable-for-samsung-htc-white-233333

but it didn't work.

Giving up on the VGA element and sticking with HDMI, would this have a better chance of success? :

Hello all!

I have an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" (the 2012 one, not the 2013 one), and I am trying to pre-root the stock software for it (version 7.4.6). I downloaded the update in a .bin format, renamed it to .zip and de-compiled it with 7-zip. I put the su and busybox binaries in "/system/xbin/", and added CWM's Superuser.apk to "/system/app/", and added a couple of more tweaks to it as well.

I adjusted the update-script file accordingly, and re-compiled the ROM. I moved it over to my Kindle, rebooted into recovery, wiped, flashed, and... bootloop and eventual TWRP.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello everyone,

I've recently been trying to update firefox OS on my ZTE Open (quite a pain in the a** actually) and then realized that I bought a US ZTE Open.

I'm currently in Canada, so it didn't bother me at first, I just needed it as an alarm clock, agenda, well, as a smartphone, the sms/calling removed.

But I'm a french student, and I will have to get back home in a few month, so my question is that simple :

Is there a way for me to make my phone available to my career (Free), or will I have to buy another phone ?

In the second case, which firefox OS phone do you recommand me ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

EDIT : For example, may I install CWM to install the UK version of Firefox OS, or is the career limitation a hardware one ?
[Firefox OS General] aversario:
2G will work normally, but you can't use this phone with 3G in France (Europe).

And yes, you can change to UK software via CWM recovery, but still 3G frequencies won't work in Europe because of the hardware.

Okay ! Thank you for the answer =)

Microsoft said in WIN2003SE it's always recommended to install mostly used programs into MAIN memory cause it's way way way faster than the extended rom or storage card. So on my old PDA2k I installed regularely used programs like Pocket Informant, Voice Command etc.. on the internal memory for enhanced speed.

I was wondering if anyone knows/ did benchmarks of Read/Write/Access Speed of all 3 memory mediums available to us JJ/Exec users ? That is Internal memory, Extended Rom (Which was unlocked thanks to buzz) as well as an SD Card.
