Hooray!

Well, I let it all rest for a while, then tried with yet another SIM. And would ya believe it, now it works!

Interestingly, the phone also works with the SIM it (seemingly?) rejected in the first place. So while I'm happy to finally have a fully functioning Sensation, I don't really know which part of all the tricks I tried that made it work.

Nonetheless, hopefully my efforts will be of help to somebody!
[HTC Sensation] al_f:
woah, not so fast...

After successfully making one call, problem is back. WTF?

According to my provider here, those "SIM does not allow connection"-messages are only for SIM-locks. If this is correct, my phone must still be locked to T-Mobile. If so, hats off to them for creating a hard-to-crack-lock, but there gotta be something I didn't try?

Or is it possible that the lock is placed outside the phone, in the network? If so, how would that work - is the phone transmitting details like IMEI when calling?

Again, thankful for any and all input!

[HTC Sensation] al_f:
Thanks, yes I tried it (direct link to post), but maybe I overlooked something. It starts to get challenging to keep track of all the PG58's I've been running, but I'll give it another go!

Any particular reason why the guide says to get 3.32 not 3.33 - would it make sense to install some older stock 401 RUU first? And I have a feeling I should avoid those RUU's marked TMOUS as I expect them to keep the T-Mobile connection.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no there is no particular reason for the firmware version

maybe the guide was written before 3.33 fw get released
[HTC Sensation] al_f:
This guide solved my problem.

A little recap:

I have the 4ext recovery. After unsuccessful attempts with ARHD 7.3 I reinstalled Cyanogenmod 9.1 for pyramid. After this too proved unsuccesful I followed the above linked guide.

Download the 1.17 firmware for your device from the User Friendly Firmware thread.

Follow the instructions in the thread to flash the firmware.

So far, so good.

Remove the SD Card & get rid of the PG58IMG.zip & put PG58DIAG.nbh on your SD Card.

Reboot to the bootloader & clear S-58 data by selecting appropriate options.

Once data has been wiped, pull out the battery to power off the phone & exit from the diag.

Remove the SD Card & get rid of the PG58IMG.nbh.

Clear S58 data reportedly succeeded, but after removing battery and switching back on, volume down + power didn't work. Instead of going to bootloader menu, the phone consequently tried to start cyanogenmod and got stuck in a booting loop or just hang during startup. I had to remove the battery a couple of times before I was able to get back to bootloader.

It's not clearly stated in the guide, but I got the impression the phone shouldn't boot normally after DIAG, but go directly to those last steps:

Download the 3.32 firmware for your device from the User Friendly Firmware thread.

Follow the instructions in the thread to flash the firmware.

However it looks like it doesn't matter. I tried many ROMS in vain.

Then I followed the guide once more, making sure to use the Firmware 3.32 Universal (Non-TMOUS). Then trying again with ARHD 7.3 and calling finally worked.

Case closed :)
[HTC Sensation] al_f:
Epilogue

Well, my problem was solved for, like 15 hours, but now I'm back at the "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" error message.

Several other people have reported that same problem. Bingley's solution doesn't work for me.

iviarck's problem resembles mine more closely. Regardless of my settings for preferred network, they return to WCDMA preferred. My sim works in other phones.

Blocked IMEI's are mentioned in the thread, so I checked my IMEI at T-mobile's site. The message is clear: "Your device is blocked and will not work on T-Mobile’s network".

Then I checked with http://checkesnfree.com/ which shows the T-mobile block, but where it seems the phone is not reported stolen. I assume it means that the original owner didn't fulfill contractual payment. Back to check out T-Mob's FAQ: "I purchased this device from another party. How do I unblock it? Unfortunately, T-Mobile is only able to assist the party that financed the device or agreed to the annual service term with payment options or contract information."

Now, from this thread it would look possible to use the phone in Norway regardless of the block and it certainly was for at least a year, according to the previous owner.

I made the phone work with a variety of SIMs now, so I'm sure it's not a matter of SIM-lock - it looks like IMEI blocking made it across the Atlantic. I'll talk to my provider and hopefully there is some possibility of lifting the block.

Edit: My provider says to talk to T-Mobile. So I'm stuck in the loop...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ls1ssz28:
I've used an older version of Twitter for awhile, one that allows you to still link your contacts... But it always bothered me that it would still show up on my app list and would sometimes ask to be updated (the newer versions removed the contact sync)... But even with apps installed from Amazon or Samsung it would show up in the playstore list.

Titanium backup used to work for detaching apps from the old Android market but since it updated to playstore it was only temporary. After browsing all over the Web I found a permanent fix.

Go to the playstore and install an app called zip signer.

1)choose the apk for the app you want to remove

2)use the default settings

3)BAM! The new installed app will no longer be linked to the playstore

Twitter is no longer shown in the playstore as being on my phone and hasn't show back up for over a week.

I found this code posted on another thread, but was wondering... What language is this? And what software do I need to compile it? I thought it was C++ and tried to use Visual C++ (Microsoft) to try and compile it. I saved the file as a .cpp and tried to compile it from the command prompt (cl /clr filename.cpp). Thanks in advance. I have little experience in this area, but I'm trying to learn.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
The code compiles fine. Its plain win32, just make sure you include Tlhelp32.h or will get errors. I did not test if it dose anything. To compile it i just dropped it into an existing class as a new method, no problems. It looks like it wants to stop your phone process.

If you arer really new.... this code dose nothing by itself it needs to be part of a larger program. The code is used for stopping the process that is the phone on a ppc. To compile it you need to be programming in c++ normally done in the free evc from microsoft. In a file in your program eg someFile.h put the line #include <Tlhelp32.h> . This seems like a complicated place to start programming :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] weatheryoko:
Some more dumb questions.....

Where can I get the Tlhelp32.h? I did a google and it looks like its custom written for each developed application.

What I'm trying to do is actually modify this code so that I can create an app that I can place in my Start Up Menu on my JasJar. The app looks for a specific process (in my case a GPS application). Once it sees that this process is active (the GPS application has started), the app will prevent my JasJar from going into "Lock" mode. I think I've got it written correctly, but I'm confused on how to compile it.

I have programming experience, but I dont' know what a header file is. I don't know what a class is. I don't know what a method is. Is there a web site that explains all this?

Thanks Justin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] weatheryoko:
I Salute You!!!

Wow! The help your giving is fantastic! Thanks. I think I realize how much I'm in over my head. I found a machine at work with Visual .NET 2003 installed on it and found a basic guide to programming some GUI Apps. Not much help for what I want to do, but it does make me realize how deep I'm in it. :) Oh well, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it!

I'll have to look at your code tomorrow and try to compile it. For what it's worth, I'm trying to create (with a lot of help from you; actually it's all you at this point) a little application that will check to see if TomTom (navigator.exe & windowed), iGuidance or OCN/Navigon is running. If it is, this application will prevent my JasJar (with MSFP AKU2.0) from going into 'Lock' Mode.

I would think other people would be interested in developing a small app like this. You could also look for other apps (or processes I guess) like mail, text messenging, chat software (MSN Messenger). Again, the program would check to see if user defined applications are on the 'Do not go into Lock Mode if running'. It could be very versitle and powerful. Anyway, that's where I'm trying to head.

This 'lock function' in the new ROM upgrade stinks!

Again, thanks for your help.

[Xperia Z1 General] eightace:
I am new here but I thought we could flash CWM even with a locked bootloader and thus install any ROMs :-S
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Bootloader has to be unlocked to flash a new kernel. And the recovery doesn't have permissions to overwrite the kernel so you have to boot into flash mode (or fastboot???) which requires an unlocked bootloader.

I am tempted to flash this though but I'm not exactly ready to unlock my bootloader yet :P

Woo! Now all we need is a non-convoluted way to root 4.3 and we're set.

Convoluted?

Just unlock bootloader -> flash any kernel with recovery -> flash CM
[Xperia Z1 General] maomao891007:
Maybe he means backup TA direct from 4.3?
[Xperia Z1 General] Rekoil:
Oh it can overwrite the kernel alright, but a locked bootloader will only boot kernels signed with Sonys private key, which we can't get.

My first Test

Tested just a few minutes now ...

Hardware: C6903 with unlocked BL

wiped everything, flashed Cm11 Experimental and it flashed the full system AND a new kernel "3.4.0cyanogenmod-g8402fcb"

flashed no gapps for now, as this is just a quick test ...

First boot without problems, camera works (little bit unstable but works), wifi works, modem works (tmobile de at full signal)

UI themes to be very fast and stable

RAM-Usage / -free : 754MB / 0,92GB

Internal Storage usage / free : 192MB / 12GB

NFC is on but doesnt seem to work, but not enough tested -> need to have a look on it

Mobile Data (3G AND E) is keeping the modem to reset (signal -> 0 (think it's turned off) and then starts up again with full signal, as 3G or E is displayed it turns off again) if i turn wifi on and no mobile data is active, the signal stays constant (taken a call allready, works fine)

So far ... if mobile data is working, this may be a nice build for "nearly daily test usage" ...
[Xperia Z1 General] Torgar4aCuP:
Hello, I just unlocked my Z1 3 days ago and Im testing the new experimental ROM.

I would like to support you by letting you know the problems I realized this ROM has:

1.- data traffic doesnt work and also, if activated, makes you cannot send or receive any calls or sms because it makes the network fail. (I think this is the most important bug).

2.- Locator or GPS doesnt work at all.

3.- Camera works but it takes over 3-4 seconds to start working. Also the video cam make it crashes. Video cam doesnt work at all.

4.- Torch doesnt work nor the app neither when making pictures.

5.- I cannot volume down the music when headphones are connected.

6.- The buzz or sound when you push any icon, app, main manu button, etc, crashed once to me and it sounds so horrible, I had to shut the system down and boot it again to sort it out.

7.- There is no option to make our network works as 2G; there is only option to run as 3G.

8.- I got some problems while trying to restore all my contact I had by copying them from the SIM card and from the SD card; I finally achieved it going to the file explorer and running manually the file which contents the backup of my contacts.

9.- There's no options menu into the screen where are shown all the app's in order to sort them as most used, alphabetically, etc.

NEW ADDED: 10.- It doesnt unmount the SD card or seems like it doesnt.

NEW ADDED (2): 11.- There is no option to save the pictures and videos made with the camera directly in the SD Card. Also no option to move the pictures and videos in the internal storage to the SD Card.

I think the 5 first points are the most important, but the most one is the first one. That's my opinion about preferences.

Anyway, thanks for this new great job.

Im just waiting for an update impaciently.

Regards.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rostitute:
Hey,

I unlocked my boot loader recently and have begun testing the experimental roms. After the previous post I waited until the latest one was released to test it out. I can confirm that the data problems have been resolved and have been using this rom for the past few days.

The main problems I have encountered are:

- Videos within apps such as Facebook or trailers on IMDB play however the picture is corrupted.

- Occasionally apps will randomly close most of the time its the internet browser (no error, it just closes)

- The camera still lags and isn't fluid at all however takes pictures fine.

I think overall there is definitely room for improvement however I have been using it fine for the last few days and it seems quite stable overall.

One problem I did have and I don't know if anyone can help me with it was that I flashed the rom with TWRP however upon rebooting into the new version of CM my recovery was CWM.
[Xperia Z1 General] N345H:
CM auto installs CWM as this is what it uses instead of TWRP

I have just moved from a HTC One (which I modded and flashed a lot of ROM's) to Xperia Z1 C6903 but unrooted etc atm

I will be checking things out in the next few weeks or so and see whats out there for my Z1 :)
[Xperia Z1 General] duongtunglam:
Just a test build, pre-nightly. Do not install. Early in Feb or March we will have update for KitKat from Sony. Just wait and calm down.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
I've heard a lot of good things about both, I'm just wondering which one is the more "popular" one to say. I've been using ElementalX for a month now, and it works pretty good overclocked to 1.8Ghz.

I don't really use touchwake that much, so it's not a deal breaker. Since I hear a lot about Franco, what's so good about it?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Michele2:
I suggest Franco or faux123 kernel, I use faux123 at the moment and it works perfectly :) :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
They are both great kernels made by respected devs. I use ElementalX but I suggest to give them each a try and see for yourself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
I tried Franco and thought it was slower than ElementalX. Have it over clocked slightly more at 1.8Ghz, but I don't think it makes the difference. ElementalX has made me happy, so I'll keep it.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mysterion1:
At the moment ElementalX is the best kernel and I can recommend using it because of it's great stability, performance and variety of customisations.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jaimenavidad:
Does anyone know if there are known issues that are causing bootloops? I have a 2013 N7 running on CM 10.2 and I flashed both Glitch and ElementalX kernels and both gave me bootloops
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
You want to make sure you are using the proper kernel. The most recent ones are for 4.4.2 but you're running 4.3 JB. Other than that, make sure your ROM is AOSP based and it should work. This is not withstanding some CM 11 builds.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jaimenavidad:
Thanks for the answer. I also tried Franco kernel and I was able to get the lock screen but all the colors seemed to be negative. Perhaps is a GPU issue. I get a totally cyan screen when the CM Boot animation appears. Also with Franco kernel it said: com.phone.android has stopped, I wasn't able to get out of the lock screen. Ill try with another ROM like AOKP, Carbon, Omni or PA
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StuMcBill:
Are both of these kernels compactor with CM11.

I used to use Franco kernel exclusively on my N4, but the CM team changed something (related to colour?) that made it incompatible.

Also, do they both support usb-otg so I can mount my USB stick?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 22350:
On latest cm11 official nightly and MMS pictures just stay on "sending". Can't receive pictures either.

I am on straight talk att. apn is the same as always. i have disabled hangouts, but also tried with it enabled. done full wipes done this done that. nothing.

What is going on with this?

used stock cm kernel mpokang same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bruce777:
Go into: settings/more.../apn/mobile networks/access point names. Now delete all the apn's except the "StraightTalkATT" that has "tfdata" under it. Then go into the remaining apn, scroll down to "APN type" and delete what is in there (something like data,MMS,supl). Now save the APN and you're done. Of course this is assuming that you're using the APN with the "tfdata" setting, I don't know about LTE settings.

I dealt with the same thing and this was the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukechilds:
Same issue

I'm having the exact same issue on my mother's phone, on the latest (today's) official CM nightly. Everything seems to be working apart from MMS. She's on Tesco Mobile, I've checked the APN settings and they're definitely correct. I tried deleting the 'APN type' options and that didn't seem to make a difference.

Any other suggestions?
