[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
The auto-translated instructions are not good enough, and this is a very risky procedure. Fortunately, with code you usually don't need to read the words to understand it. Fortunately, with my Japanese-speaking colleague's help, I understand everything. Some things to know:

- Don't try this unless you are content to risk your phone, because I can tell he made mistakes in his instructions

- To reiterate, you either need to follow his incorrect instructions or you need to listen to me (why would you do that?)

- Look at the code blocks--all that code is meant to be run on your computer while the phone is connected to USB.

- There is only one complicated step, and this is the one with the incorrect instructions.

What he says:

Open misc.img in a hex editor, represent [00001023] as [11] and save. If you are lazy, use the file I modified already. <link>

There are two problems with this statement. First, "00001023" is not a reasonable position in the file. It means "line 10, column 3" (lines start with zero, columns start with zero). But there are 16 bytes per line, so what he really means is "byte 147". (Each pair of hex characters is a byte. The lowest value is 00, the highest value is ff.)

The second problem is that in his "already modified" file, that byte is "00", not "11". This is what I expected, because it's not reasonable for number="11" to mean "unlocked". More likely, "11" is his carrier and "00" is when the phone is unlocked.

What I advise is getting your carrier to unlock the phone, and if that's not possible, proceed only if you are willing to risk your phone. Follow his instructions, but when you get your misc.img file, download his modified version and compare them. If they differ in only one position, install his file to your phone (as per the instructions). If they are very different but the same size, you can try changing byte 147 to 00 (if the surrounding bytes are also all 00). Save the unmodified .img file, because you might be able to use it to rescue your phone if this fails.

Note: this is risky, with or without language barrier issues. At least 10% chance of bricking your phone.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

But it is not possible to carrier unlock the phone

Is there any safe way to sim unlock the phone ?

Currently am stuck ...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I think it's probably safe to flash the misc.img file he uploaded and linked to, if (and only if) it is exactly the same as yours, except for that one byte. Low chance of bricking the phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitanshu91:
But currently can you tell me to how to pull the image coz I havr followed his command ...

Adb shell

It strt with $

Su

Now # come

Then somd dd comand

Here it shows operation cannot complete(will update what is exactly error in few min)

Exit

Adb pull misc.img

Here it shows error device not detected

Can you help me to first pull file so I can compare
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Weird... you got a successful ADB shell, then it stopped detecting your device? I suppose you should just try again.

My phone is not the same as yours, so you shouldn't compare your partition19 to mine. You have a phone specific to Japan, right?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
That's actually normal (because you're not supposed to write to the root of the phone's filesystem). Every time the instructions say "/", you can replace it with "/sdcard/", and every time they say "/misc.img", you can think "/sdcard/misc.img". (The instructions were carelessly written.)

I wanted to know if the Canadian play store cards (5,10,20,$50) work in US? I ask because my play store is US based (even though travelling at the moment) and I have no debit card to use online but I have access to Canadian play store gift cards.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yzbrad99:
Completely stock, not rooted, locked bootloader running 4.1 and went for the 4.3 upgrade OTA and it downloaded the update completely fine and went through the update. But on the first initial reboot i got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen when the phone first turns on. This is as far as it will go. I AM able to get into download mode by pressing home+power+ vol down. i AM NOT able to get it into recovery at any way possible. Found the stock 4.3 software and flashed it VIA odin and everything looks good. It has the downloading bar loading and it says PASSED with the green light. But still never boots past the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 logo at the beginning. Tried using the PIT file i found to repartition and still says passed with the same outcome.

It almost seems like to me that it deleted the ROM and has nothing to boot up. I've been scratching my head for 2 weeks. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just to get the fact you got the stock file here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040264 and probably used this pit file from this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207?

You used the oem usb cable that came with the phone? I mean it sounds like it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yzbrad99:
I did use that pit file but i used the stock file from a different source. Will try this new file in this new link. OEM cable and tried 2 other cables. Will report back...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yzbrad99:
Ok so after messing with this for a while with different cords and different computers I think this thing is just hard bricked. I feel like I've tried everything. I just flashed back to stock on my Note 3 on the same computer with the same cord and it worked fine. But when I try with this Note 2 i'm having no luck.

I even tried deleting all drivers and reinstalling them. I'm using ODIN 3.09 and putting the TAR file in the AP slot and the pit file in the pit spot. Even tried not using the pit file. Still same result. It recognizes the Note 2 in the ODIN screen and accepts the TAR file and loads like normal, says PASSED in green but then on reboot it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. It never even wants to boot the ROM. I've been messing with tons of phones since my first Android and never been so stumped! About to send this to Samsung thinking it's a hardware issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
I don't know how many Odin versions there are but I've only ever used 3.07 on the note 2. Would be worth a try.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goody68:
Make sure after you odin with stock and pit file you go to the stock recovery(volume up, home and power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache! I had the same thing happin and got stuck at Verizon boot and the above worked for me and i have read in other posts that is what others suggest too!

Hope this help:thumbup::o

No luck whatsoever. Ended up trying different Versions of ODIN, different computers, all different types of drivers, USB cables, OEM cables. NOTHING.

Called Samsung repair facility in Texas and the told me it was still under warranty. Lucked out! They repaired it for free. I honestly think the Verizon 4.3 OTA messed up something on the hardware, but don't really understand how.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] icy4phone:
Hey XDA, just a long time stalker who has finally given up trying to find his solution on already posted items (I think 10 hours of trail and error means I'm not gonna catch what I'm failing to see...)

When I first got my galaxy s4 I downloaded KangaBean and it was on 4.2.2 I believe. Today I decided I should upgrade to 4.4.2 since I've only been hearing good things about it, and I wanted the slight updates that came with it.

Well, I have a AT&T s4, sgh-i337 that was on CWM 6 when I tried updating to another ROM, the first one I tried was GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 BY DANVDH. Did a wipe, cache, dalvik, format system, flashed it, flashed loki doki, said no to re-root/root fix prompt that followed, then I came to the yellow triangle, I thought that was odd, believed I missed something.

So, I downloaded TWRP 2.5.0.2 like the thread suggested, tried again, no luck. Then I tried Unoffical Carbon KitKat, which just caused the "Samsung Custom" logo to stay on indefinitely (I let it sit for 40 minutes before giving up.) After 2 failed ROMs, I tried KangaKat, updated version of KangaBean, so it should be just dandy right? Narp, same luck. This one boots, then reboots into recovery.

At this point I considered myself to be stupid in some way so obvious that I would die before I noticed it. So, then I just flashed the stock firmware thats like 2.5 gb through odin, re-rooted and installed CWM 6.0.4.4 LOKI'd and tried to flash KangaKat, being confident it would work this time, again I got boot to the logo and then reboot into recovery.

At this point I attempted the other 2 ROMs again, multiple times.

After some sobbing, I re-did the stock firmware, tried again, failed again.

My sadness turned into rage, I just destroyed one of my micro sd to usb-s because it was being annoying and I was annoyed, I took a picture and got over it.

I tried a 3rd time with the re-flashing stock firmware and tried with twrp again, no cigar.

Now, after MANY hours and MANY false hopes... I shall be using my blackberry and hoping to return to android soon, if somebody can help me figure out what I'm missing. Many thanks ahead!

If you BUY the software instead of using a keygenerator or a cracked executable you would not have this problem.

[General Topics] EastExpert:
I do confirm that a real purchased version of Navigon works for hours without disconnections.

In fact, there's normally an upgrade deal available from Navigon if you already own some other software and are willing to send it to them physically to Germany. I've snatched the upgrade deal from AA Navigator, and it was just €79 (£53 by the time of purchase).

Don't buy the memory card option though -- the card included is just measly 128MB and you get it for €50 extra price tag, so this is perfectly unneeded thing - instead you can buy a 512MB card elsewhere for the same money :) Convenience reason also fails here -- You will still have to download the map upgrade from the Web and put it on this card manually.

P.S. to the author of the original question: I don't think the problem lies within Navigon itself ;-) because with keygen, there's no way it could detect how the code it was generated, I don't think there are two keygens possible that will fit the checking algorithm -- it's highly sophisticated and involves the device ID.

XBMC - XAF Build

With a decent internet connection, XBMC works very well on the stock rom or with the Malladus custom rom.It doesn't work with any of the Kit Kat-based custom roms currently available. Which is why I can't use the latter.

The best results I've obtained have been with the XAF build of XBMC. This is the version that automatically uses MX Player to play back video. It's free from many of the issues that can affect playback using XBMC's native player.

1. You install MX Player (free version) from the Play Store and run it once. Go to settings/decoder and check H/W + (for smooth hardware acceleration).

2. You install the XAF build of XBMC, which used to be found here, thanks to a developer. I think the link still works.

http://goo.im/devs/kemonine/xbmc/xbmc-frodo-12.1-xaf-neon-set_top-20130503-47b0a23c60.apk

3. Search any recent on-line guide to how to set up XBMC add-ons, especially from XBMChub and Xunity. What is available will amaze you.

Hardware Acceleration

Great, glad you're getting on ok with 12.3.

I should clarify: none of the XBMC Frodo builds, including 12.3, is hardware accelerated. For the smooth playback of all true HD video, you need that. That's why I use the XAF build, because it relies on MX player and its superb hardware acceleration. That combo can handle just about any type of streamed video.
