I need help

I've a big problem, my gf's brother did something with his mobile (samsung GT-S6500D) I don't know what cause he doesn't wan't to tell me.

Here is a vid about it

h t t p : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = u T O g 7 K 3 8 9 y U & f e a t u r e = y o u t u . b e

:( there was only download menu, but recovery wasn't

I tried put up one manufacturing firware with the Odin, what I found here: h t t p : / / w w w . s a m m o b i l e . c o m /

after that the download menu doesn't working yet

the situation is unchanged :( I'm puzzled :( I don't know what's the problem :(

The bootloader is died? If yes, how can I fix it?

I'm really thankful for the help :)

Hi everybody,

I want root HTC One and have some question.

I found thread to root, but I have some questions:

(Phone is HTC One Orange UK sim free)

1. My hboot is 1.54.0000

I need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 or not?

2. HTC One is not on the list http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ supported devices.

What I need to select?

3. After unlocking, is my defaut fabric ROM will working?

4. How to restart htc one is hold and freeze?

I removed battery on HTC Desire but on HTC One I cannot do that!

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
no, unlcoking bootloader + rooting have nothing to do with hboot version

select ''all other supported devices''

yes

hold down power for many sec, or power + vol down

video guide here
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlantisu21:
Ok thanks.

So, when I unlock boodloader, hboot stay unchanged?

Isn't bootloader same as hboot? Or maybe bootloader is part of hboot?

If this is true, I cannot brick a phone, because I flesh bootloader not hboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
It stays unchanged in version but it change from locked state to unlocked

btw unlocked hboot mean you can flash to locked partitions like recovery and system

Yes hboot = bootloader

unlocking bootloader is almost risk free. It depend what you will do after with you phone. if you flash a bad recovery or bad rom then your device could bootloop. if you read before flashing you shouldn't brick you phone

flashing hboot is different from unlocking hboot and risk of bricking your phone is more important. if you flash a bad hboot, your phone could be bricked forever unless you send it for repair (JTAG)

Now you should go read this before unlocking your phone to understand what you are doing

Hey,

I flashed my 8125 with Summiter's Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE-RINGRS-OCLOCK.exe.

I have a question now: can I use Bluetooth File Transfer Service with Bluesoleil Bluetooth USB dongle?

If not, is there a way to fix it?

Also I cannot send/receive files (like tones or pictures) via BT... This is really weird since most of BT enabled phones have this option, even the cheapest of them...

Don't get me wrong, but it's kinda embarrasing when a guy shows off with his RAZR sending pictures and stuff and I can't...

HELP, PLEASE....

Ps. yeah... I hate RAZR's...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
I am not familiar with that ROM but you should be able to pair with that dongle - just make sure both are discoverable and they should be able to pair. Also you can send files via bluetooth use the inbuilt file explorer and click on file and menu should appear - choose beam file and bluetooth window will appear ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MargaL:
Nope... it doesn't... I got only IR...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Need more info to help.

Does your bluetooth go on and is it discoverable? Does blue indicator light flash? Did bluetooth work before flashing with new rom?

Cuz you should definitely be able to bt with file explorer. If not i assume its a rom problem and would suggest trying to flash back to original rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MargaL:
Well, the BT itself works well. I use BT earpiece and SellingClicker with no problems.

Yet, I don't have an option to beam anything via BT... Only IR or MMS.

And I have no idea whether it worked with oroginal ROM since I flashed it the very second day I got it... Yeah, yeah... I know... that was stupid...

Anyways, any other suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MargaL:
I figured out a way how to send files from one phone to the other... (I think, coz I didn't really test throughfuly)

The big question is: how do I send and receive files to the PC without using ActiveSync?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jaidnoire:
You have to....

...have your bluetooth om and discoverable to be able to send files via bluetooth.

Once you tap "Beam", you'll have to wait a few seconds to see the option to send via btooth. You'll first see just the "Infared" prompt, then underneath it, you'll start to see "Unknown Devices" appear, Unknown Device changing to the actual device name, once you MDA picks it up. Then you can tap to send to that particular device.

So you can do it....I just think it's misleading that it only says "Beam".....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MargaL:
Re: You have to....

Yes, but when I finally send it to the PC all the PC does is open MS Outlook and that's it...

The way I see it is that OBEX file is nothing else but a "business card" file read only by outlook.

Did you try sending files both ways yourself?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MargaL:
:-(

common guys... help, please..

Just now I was trying to send a 5mb file from PC to phone via the Bluetooth Object Push Transfer. It was working for about 5 min and... nothing... the PC says: Object Push Service is disconnected... on the phone there is nothing. Even the memory status stays exactly as it was 10 min ago... :-(

I've read elsewhere that “Developers cant customize the in-call screen because of security concerns”

So, I am trying to understand the functionality of the in-call screen at the source level.

Can any Android devs, especially those that have created their own custom ROMs, tell me which specific classes in the AOSP are responsible for both display and functionality of this screen?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerG:
Hi everyone & thanks for reading this!

I bought 2 new, unused Nexus 5 as presents for my sisters for Christmas (not via playstore, but via a reseller. Still: new, sealed, unused.)

I unlocked, installed a custom recovery, rooted both devices without problems, then set up one in a smartphone-newbie-friendly way, which took quite some time. Then, to save me some time, I fear I made quite a big mistake: I made a nandroid-backup of the newly-setup device and restored/installed it on the second nexus (so I wouldn't have to change all the settings again, install apps, etc).

Unfortunately, this seems to have erased the IMEI on the second device (it shows as IMEI=0), so I can't connect to any cell service. Some googling leads me to believe that this might be due to a corrupt/missing EFS-folder, which, second mistake, I did NOT make a backup of beforehand. I know, it's my own fault - my thinking was: why backup, there's nothing backupworthy on the device *yet*.

FML. :crying:

I am not sure if the phone is still in warranty (and even if it was - I guess I voided that by unlocking/rooting?!). I want to re-iterate that I own both devices LEGALLY, I have the bill, I have the original sticker with the original IMEI - I just need a way to re-enter it. Any dialer-code for that? Any modify-able EFS-backups? Any other way?

Thanks in advance!

PS: tried so far & found useless: other simcard (not working) & simcard in other phone (working), so it's a device-issue; factory-reset;
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Try fastboot flashing the cache.img from the factory image.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerG:
thanks for the super-quick reply jd1639!

to make sure I understand you correctly:

I can use the factory image from

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99.tgz

(nexus 5, android 4.4.2), extract the cache.img from there & flash that via fastboot? (or would it have to be a factory image of this very device - which I do not have, unfortunately)

and, just for my understanding: how does that restore the imei? I mean, the factory image itself (or it's cache) can't really contain MY imei. does this just delete the invalid imei & force the phone to get it's original imei from some other, not yet overwritten source? e.g. hardware?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes fastboot flash the cache.img from the factory image is a known fix for this issue. Something has corrupt your cache causing the imei to not display properly
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerG:
Thank you for clarifying, rootSU - that gives me hope.

I will try tomorrow & hopefully report success :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerG:
Just tried this (twice) - unfortunately no success, IMEI is still 0 :(

downloaded factory image, verified md5, extracted cache.img, flashed in fastboot; every step successful - final result is still IMEI=0. Tried again, this time erasing cache beforehand for good measure - still IMEI 0.

What else can I try?

PS: this seems to be the only issue - no hw-problems or similar. directly after boot, the device seems to connect to a mobile network for a second, then gets kicked out (due to missing/invalid IMEI, I suppose).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Did you use TWRP for the original nandroid backup that you restored on the new one? If so, you may have backed up, and consequently flashed the EFS from the original N5 to the new one. If so, I hate to say this, but I don't think there's any hope of getting the IMEI back on the new one...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CellPhish:
I had a problem with my phone IMEI (Nexus 4) before. It would say unknown. The reason why was I flashed a bad radio and boot loader version. So what I did was find a thread on the N4 section for the right radio and bootloader. I'm not exactly sure if this will work on your part, but I don't think it'll hurt to try. Oh and maybe reflash the factory image.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerG:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerG:
thanks I will try this (even though I think my problem is not related to radio/bootloader and I am generally skeptical about my chances of "restoring" IMEI, as opposed to "manually entering/modifying it"). Still, willing to try anything, thanks for the idea!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CellPhish:
If all fails you can try to contact LG service and tell them your situation. Though its not good to lie, just tell them you got the IMEI=0 problem, they'll say its a hardware problem and will replace the motherboard(if your device is on warranty)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You'll probably have a hard time here finding anyone to help you manually entering or modifying the imei.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
The IMEI is stored in the EFS partition, not the cache partition.

Sounds like you turned the phone into a $400 paperweight. TWRP backs up and restores the EFS partition by default, and each device has a unique EFS partition, which contains the IMEI among other things. I don't know of a way of manually restoring the EFS data. This is unfortunately a $400 lesson for people who tinker without first doing their homework.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
Hey guy. Let's not be so judgemental. There's always a risk of the imei being corrupted when you flash a ROM. As a matter of fact just before I even unlocked my nexus the imei got corrupted and I had to factory flash my phone to save it. Its scary but op, if you manage to get your phone working again make a backup and store it on your PC and or email yourself the backup. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ha ha thanks! Can't believe you think I don't know that :/

Actually the "EFS partition" is 2 partitions..

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1

And...

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2

That doesn't change the fact that reflashing the cache.img is a known fix for missing IMEI. Corrupt cache can make the imei appear as 0 even when the EFS imei is in tact so reflashing the cache.img can resolve this.

Unfortunately though, I didn't read the OP fully. I just elaborated on an earlier response for the OP

Modification is illegal however many mobile repair shops have equipment that can rewrite the existing imei and are legally allowed to. In the UK, this costs about £20. That said, i'm not aware of anyone having it done on the nexus 5. The galaxy s3 with a single /EFS partition could be done easily by a professional
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes but all talks about how to change it in any way are not allowed here. Legally the only people that are allowed to do so is the OEM. You can look at international news reports of cellular dealers that are doing so are being closed down and arrested.

That is why it is well know to back up the efs before you do anything.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gino_76ph:
Hi. I currently own an LG G2 and an iPad mini Retina but i'm missing having an Android tablet because of the vast customisations that you can do with an open OS.

I'm kinda exploring the new Kindle Fire HDX but with a lack of the Google Plays Store for me its a sort of big deal.

What is the best/easiest way to sideload apps on the FHD? Is it better to just install .apk files? Where do i get .apk files?

What if the app has an update? Do i need to re-install the new .apk file?

Or is it best to just buy a "normal" Android tablet?

Pls advice. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] nymica:
Imo buy a nexus 7
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] StAlfonzo:
From everything you said, I wouldn't even consider an hdx. Check out the nexus 7.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gino_76ph:
Problem with the Nexus 7 is the small 7" screen. Not big and wide enough for viewing/surfing/watching stuff. The big bezels on the side doesn't help at all and speakers ain't loud or clear enough.

What i like about the KIndles are the build quality, amazing speakers sound and a friendly/unique OS (which i happen to know is a forked Android OS).

If i can sideload apps and or download .apk files off a third party app store(s) then maybe i can live with that.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] StAlfonzo:
It sounded like customization was key to you wanting an Android tablet at all. Nobody has even unlocked the bootloader yet for the kindle, so I was basing my advice off that.

I love my kindle, but I have been frustrated with its lack of being able to customize anything. You cant even change the date and time, as Amazon didn't allocate any memory for that.

I generally recommend the tablet for people who have Amazon Prime and would utilize all of Amazon's streaming services. For others, it's more of a 50/50. I agree with you about the build quality, and the all-around amazing hardware stats of the device. That's why I bought one, even though I don't have Prime.

I guess I forgot to ask which size you were looking at. I was recommending the nexus over the hdx 7", cos that's what I have and what most people around here have, as it was less than half the price of the 8.9" for a long time around Christmas. Also, the bezel on the hdx is pretty big, too. It's meant for you to fit your full thumb there so you can hold the device easier.

You can sideload apps easily now that google apps are up and running, so customization is a little better than I led you to believe. That date/time thing just really got to me when I was playing candy crush and couldn't get more lives.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] phage80:
I got the HDX 8.9 and finally had to return it, the hardware was great but the limitation of the software that hurt the most was how some side-loaded apps and games would ignore the onscreen buttons.

Then samsung's Tab Pro 8.4 was announced and has play store, micro sd slot and mhl combined with a non pentile 2560x1600 screen finalized my decision.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gino_76ph:
As someone who has owned several tablets in the past 4 years (HTC Flyer, Galaxy Tab 1, Tesco Hudl, old & new Nexus 7, iPad 2, Acer Iconia B1, old Kindle Fire HD, iPad mini) i can say i'm pretty much experienced when it comes to prices, specs...basically what i really need on a tablet.

At the moment i have the iPad mini with Retina display. What's amazing about the device is the size seems just about right for reading, viewing and watching movies, amazing build quality, you have the App store, speakers are just about average loudness and the simplicity of the OS. But i prefer Android OS more as i have an Android phone and i feel i can do more and i feel "not constrained" to the overall ecosystem and OS that is Apple's.

My current choice of screen size is at least more than 7-inch. Problem with my 1st choice (the Galaxy Note 8.0) is Samsung products tend to have a "premium" price, slow updates and near-abysmal customer support. My second choice is the LG G-pAd 8.3. Specs looks amazing on paper and it will compliment my G2 very well. If you can ignore the poor/slow updates of LG phones in the past 2-3 years then one can live with it i think. Reviews of the G-pad has so far been amazing and i feel the screen size is almost perfect even more better when watching a movie or the football. My 3rd choice is the Asus Memo Pad 8 but again poor customer support in the UK and poor reviews have put me off somehow.
