root w/o sim

no you don't need a sim card to root your phone. i have done it before. the only thing is you won't have all the good data features like calling or texting unless you use an app. but other than that you can root without the sim card. hope this help

If you learn the commands that the all in one kit uses... And use them in say adb or the terminal on your phone... You learn something...

I have a sgh-i527m (Bell) which got unlocked. I tried a few custom roms but went back to this stock rom since I wanted full functionability.

Periodically, I would get the "no sim card" error. A simple reboot or re-insertion of the sim card usually fixed this issue but earlier today, It just clunked randomly and no matter what I tried, I could not get my sim to work (Fido). I even went to Fido and got a new SIM, since my sim was so old it wasn't even the LTE sim. And still no luck.

I even tried using the scotch tape Nexus fix, still nothing.

I tried re-flashing stock rom, no luck. Going to try a nandroid backup.

Also, my friend's SIM works fine, which is Rogers but my Fido sim won't work yet my Sim works fine in his phone (unlocked i9500). Ironic, because Fido uses the Rogers network..it makes no sense.

Somebody shed some light please?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AgentVanThomas:
Have you tried flashing a different Baseband to see if it improved? I have heard issues that on some networks with Kitkat the software has trouble switching between 2g, 3g and LTE and this causes the sim error because of registration issues on the network.

I never had the sim error on kitkat though, only stock rom.

Anyway i think i figured out the problem. My simtray is broken, pins pushed all the way in.

I accidentally hit the "accept" button on the gosh dang annoying, repetitive, un-ignorable LG notification that forces you (pretty much) to take the OTA update. My anger at the bothersome notification aside, I accepted it (the OTA) by accident and my Verizon LG G2 booted into recovery (TWRP). From there, I restored one of my previous backups, but it is not successfully rebooting the system- instead it boots back into recovery every time. (Boot loop i think this is called?)

Were you just a rooted stock with recovery? Have you downloaded the LG mobile support tool? We can use it to overwrite your recovery and what ever rom was there will boot. then just reflash freegee and your choice of recovery. I can guide you if you still need help.

Hi Guys

I bought a 3m USB cable wire for the HTC One so I can lie down in bed and use my phone with a longer cable while charging the phone. I noticed it kept saying Unable to charge while in host mode. Why is this? When I plugin the normal original USB wire in to charge the phone it works perfectly.Is the 3m wire not sufficient enough for the HTC One?

Thanks in advance

J4v3d
[One (M7) Accessories] aviola7x7:
Hmm, are you plugging it into a wall adapter or a computer's usb port? The host mode thing should only kick in when it tries to act as a host for a usb device such as a flash drive or external hard drive. Assuming that you're using a wall adapter, I would say it would be a defective usb cord as it keeps making the phone enter host mode. Just a sidenote, the phone is unable to charge whenever it is host mode. Hopefully someone else can weigh in on this.
[One (M7) Accessories] lufeig:
It seems you got a 3m OTG cable, the "unable to charge while in host mode" message shows up when I plug in my OTG cable.
[One (M7) Accessories] j4v3d:
In to the wall charger pal. It can't be defective as it works on the PC and is brand new. It charged my phone completely the second time i plugged it in.

I bought this one from eBay pal if it helps. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290737576817?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D290737576817%26_rdc%3D1

Hi there,

I am from China and before getting my nexus 5 I owned a galaxy nexus, in which Google now works well just when phone is switched into En-US.

Now for nexus 5 this does not work.

someone uses a AT&T SIM card to enable google now.

some turns the phone into airplane model, turns off location and connects to VPN network to enable it.

Some says "Ok Google" then follow the instructions to enable it.

It seems that all these does not work for me, is there a easy way to enable Google now.

What worked for you? I had to uninstall Google search with titanium backup, install Google search 2.6, enable google now, then update to the latest version of search to have google now enabled in China. This is kind of annoying though as you can't flash otas if you do this because it modifies some system files. If you do my method you'll have to reflash the system image to update manually. So I'm wondering if you could share your method here.

Odin an emergency version that wipes the phone to remove all traces. Others just clear the system and don't touch data.

My first impression if you odined a mk2 stock rom, you have lost your mdk loki exploit.....you have locked your bootloader up. Thats my first impression as I really don't know much about S4 phones before ME7.

Since I started on MDK and updated to ME7 are you sure I need to flash the ME7 stock with Odin instead of MDK? I just want to make sure so I don't soft brick my phone.

Hey so i was messing around with my phone the other morning and decided to encrypt my phone but it failed and messed up my system i got this message. The picture is down below.

So I press reset phone and it factory wipes it. But it really doesn't, the phone then reboots and the same message comes up again. I cant access anything on the phone there is no lock screen or status bar. Nothing.

So decide to boot into AP Fastboot mode and then into the stock recovery. My phone lets me do this. I do this with the intention of manually factory wiping my phone. I wipe the cache and factory wipe the phone. It says it does it successfully so I reboot but I still get the that same message!

Okay whatever at this point its starting to look like ill just do a SBF. Haha but that would be to easy RSD lite does not recognize my phone the Droid Razr Maxx while it is in USB Mass Storage Mode. But usually keep my phone in mass storage mode for convenient file transfering to my computer.

Normally if I had to SBF I would connect my phone to my computer drag down my notification bar and change it out of mass storage mode to MTP media device mode or to PTP Camera mode. But I cant because the only thing that shows up after the phone boots is that same message.

What can I do? Can i use ADB to change my phone out of mass storage mode and into MTP mode? :confused:

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
This is the right place ;)

App2sd should be working by default, it should move apps and dalvik automatically. just keep apps on 'internal' to trick them to sd-ext, so do not 'move to SD'

Make sure you have:

- correctly partitioned sd card using 4EXT recovery or gparted, no swap. you should have a maximum 2GB ext4 partition, see here

- (optional but recommended): cm7r2 hboot to maximise internal memory, requires s-off

- your internal memory will not read "internal + sd-ext", but partition is still working, use an app like DiskUsage to browse your partitions, check sd-ext is filling up as it should.
