[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sherryluv5:
Before I describe my issue, I'd like to state that I have searched high and low for answer to no avail. I am using a Sprint Galaxy Note II that has been upgraded to 4.3 stock. It was unrooted when my issue began, but I went ahead and rooted it to try and help my problem.

Two days ago I signed up for Straight Talk Bring your own phone. I entered the provided code which took me to the hands free activation. The activation proceeded successfully (my phone said success) until it forced a prl update. It says it fails (each time it tries the prl update) and immediately reboots the phone. Once booted the activation attempts again and repeats over and over unless I cancel before it gets to the prl update. Strangely enough if I try to make a call it says my phone has not yet been activated, and yet a few times after waiting I can make calls (verified they are coming from my new number), but no data functions. If I then try and complete the activation (the incomplete notification remains), I'm back to square one.

Straight Talk techs have assured me that my phone is active throughout their system and the sprint towers are having no issues. They say other Note II's have been successful. My phone is communicating with the towers as I get the LTE icon during activation.

As an experiment I activated a Samsung Galaxy 3 (never rooted) using the same method and it went through fine. It updated the prl and is now working like a champ. I am now at wits end with my Note. I have faith that all would function if I could get the prl to update and I haven't a clue how to get there from here. I have also been unsuccessful obtaining my MSL even after rooting. A little history on the phone is that it was active with Sprint and it was rooted at 4.1. I returned it to stock to take the 4.3 update.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
If it's active in their system and if their systems are compatible with your phone then you should be able to update the profile and PRL with no issues. Make sure you're connected to WiFi. There isn't much else you can do short of cloning another phones information onto it but then you won't get LTE. Are you sure it's active on their system and not still attached to Sprint?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sherryluv5:
It is active in their system and unfortunately I don't have another phone to clone. My prl says 2010. It will not update over wifi or LTE. I've tried factory resets (before I rooted). I'm sure it's something with my phone. I just can't pinpoint it. The only progress I have made is that I did manage to extract my MSL. The reps at straight talk said my phone would use sprint towers to activate. Also I'm wondering it my note would use the same prl at the S3 I activated. Thanks so much for trying to help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You can do *22804 and it should update the prl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
Although I may be completely wrong here, I can only go off of experience saying I haven't had a problem updating the profile and PRL or getting service from a "flashed to" carrier, by replacing the original carriers settings. I've tried NUMEROUS Sprint and Boost Mobile PRLs on my phones (I've had a EVO 4G, S2, Nexus, EVO LTE, and Note 2 on Boost...yeah I change phones a lot) and never had an issue getting Boost Mobile service since they use Sprint's towers.

First off, is the Note 2 still active on Sprint? CALL Sprint and verify this. I know if I try to activate a Verizon iPhone 4 on Page Plus that it'll default to Verizon OTA programming and pull that data when I WANT it to pull PP's OTA data via *228 (or *22890). Same thing may be applied here (except with update profile instead of *228). Secondly, is the phone's MEID the same as what you registered on the account? Although I think the L900 is set to show the OEM MEID in settings, I've seen some US Cellular (and maybe Verizon) phones that have shown the OEM MEID in settings but when hooked up in diag mode through the computer showed the real MEID which was completely different. Just something else to consider to make sure you cover everything!

I tried and it said the number or code is invalid. I will try again when I have a stronger signal. Uploading screenshot of phone connection specs. They look abnormal, but I am not an expert. I am running sprint stock 4.3 rom that was updated with kies. It is rooted but only after issue started happening. The phone number shown is not a number that I have ever had with Spring of Straight Talk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
MMM I think I know what's going on here. You need to change your MDN and MIN to something other than 000000xxxx. I think that's forcing a HFA loop every time you boot the phone. Are you familiar with CDMA workshop or DFS CDMA tool? You'll need one of these to possibly fix your problem. Essentially, i think your phone needs to update the profile. This wouldn't be a big issue but I think HFA is strictly sprint and update profile won't work until you get rid of the HFA nag without disabling SprintDM. Check out the two programs I mentioned.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sherryluv5:
This might just work. I have CDMA workshop demo version but am unsure how to conduct the procedure. I really need to get it fixed because now hubby is in the hospital and has the s3. This is my only means of communicating with him when I'm not there. Wish I had the funds to just buy a note 2 that is unlocked but that is not an option right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
If you're on a CDMA network, meaning your carrier didn't give you a SIM card, then having an unlocked phone does nothing for you. Straight talk might be CDMA and GSM though, never looked too much into it. Anyway, you're going to need to dial ##DIAG# in your dialer to bring up the "port" menu. Leave it on PDA and select Qualcomm USB settings or something along those lines. You should be at MTP. Switch it to DM+Modem+ADB. Plug your device into your computer. In device manager you should be able to see which port your computer assigned to it. If you have to, change the port number to be COM25 or under. Go into CDMA WS, connect to the port, send the password: 2012112120131219 and your SPC. Go to NAM1 and read. You should see your MDN and MIN are kind of zeroed out. Replace them with something other than zeros, like MDN: 7737777777 MIN: 3122222222. Reboot your phone. HFA nag should've gone away (if you're on 4.3). Now you should be able to update your profile WITHOUT having to go through Sprint's HFA, and after it grabs everything it needs, you should be on Straight Talk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sherryluv5:
Tried the above but got lost on MIN. (is this the same as MSID?). Didn't find MIN anywhere. This is what I did try and it may have worked..so far, so good. I changed my number via the Straight Talk automated. I then tried the HFA which failed again, so I went in and maually programmed my username, MDN and MSID. I then tried mms and making calls and it worked. I then used root explorer to get rid of HFA by deleting the Sprint update apk. The prl 2010 remained and Sprint Zone says it is current. My only issue is that internet does not work though mms does. That is an issue I am now going to try and tackle. For the record, internet also does not work on the S3 that completed the HFA and prl update successfully. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix that I am open for suggestions. Thanks for your help on this. Please see screenshots..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
Yes MIN is the same as MSID. You needed to program the numbers through a CDMA flashing program to get rid of the HFA nag. Now that you've programmed them through the phone...I'm not too sure how you're going to deal with the HFA. Yes, you disabled it, but you also disabled the ability to update the profile which is what you need to do for your data to work...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sherryluv5:
Success!

Success!! Here's what I did...Found an old Sprint prl file and copied it to sd card. Flashed Digiblur Rom which includes ability to write a prl file in settings. Used root explorer to go in and rename Sprint Update apk so that it would temporarily deactivate. Updated prl to the one on sd card through Digirom. Went back in and "reactivated" Sprint update apk. This activated the HFA immediately and promptly updated the profile and prl to the correct one for sprint (since straight talk BYOP uses those) and voila.. voice, mms and internet are now working perfectly. The issue seemed to be that HFA was changing MSL to 0000006503. Simply correcting it was not enough. I had to roll back the prl to make it update correctly. It updated it back to the 2010 that it was before and updated the profile as well. I like Digiblur Rom but decided to go with Paranoid Android rom instead. I'm loving it. May try a 4.4 next. I'm running Kit Kat on my Nexus Tab and I like it. Until this fiasco, I hadn't rooted my Note 2. Forgot how much fun roms can be. Used to play with them all the time on my HTC Evo. See screenshot of my success; unfortunately showing 3g in screenshot. LTE is spotty in my area so at times I'm reduced to 3g inside my home but I'm on wifi at home anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BuzzERKINdff:
Having the same problem too. Where did you find the old Sprint PRL file? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donclark:
Thanks for the info but...

Im happy this worked for you. I believe you have to have an older Android OS to make the trick work. My question is, how can we make this work with a 4.4.2 OS? Much thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] losttaco:
Also would like to know thanks

My community rom (4.4.2 tw) has the ability to write prl via ##data# then view knot edit).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donclark:
Samsung Galaxy S3 (L710)

On both of my L710 (S3), the write PRL option was not showing. So ##data# didnt work for me. I had to install this app:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/32jc7i0w2fa2oxw/PRLWUnhide_S3_MA6.zip/

This made it so I was able to see that function.

Here are a bunch of PRL files. I believe the latest is 25018. If its not listed there, just do a search for the zip file:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35576100

I was able to update the Profile and PRL after writing the TEST.prl file.

However, that didnt seem to solve my problem.

No 3g/4g, with HFA loop, with FreedomPOP as my provider (SPRINT MVNO).

I get a "unable to establish a data connection" error MIP:67 on one of the phones when trying to activate.

On the other phone, I get the notice to call customer care (SPRINT).

I believe this to be an ICCID issue, but I cannot confirm this:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 6stringandy:
Pull up your dialer, punch in ##72786#. Let the phone go through its little process, then try to update prl and profile.

I am currently using a sprint note 2 on straight talk, had the same issue, and that's what I did to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] safwat2351040:
Hi, I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4, Installed the latest SafeStrap. After successfully installing SafeStrap I made a custom boot and selected the boot and wiped both caches and did factory reset. Then I installed HyperDrive and then without reboot installed the mk2 module. After rebooting the phone I waited 10 mins and restarted the phone. Everything worked but the Wifi wont toggle on, so I did a lot of searching to find a solution. One thing i tried was loading up the stock boot and copying the two system/lib/module files and putting them on the hyperdrive rom. I did that buy deleting the same two files in the hypderdrive rom then copying the two file over from the stock rom. Restarted and it didn't work. When i boot from the stock rom the wifi works fine but not on the hyperdrive rom that why i tried that. I went to advance wifi and made sure the setting for Keep WiFi on during sleep is set two always. I looked around all over forums for mk2 wifi solution and tried a couple but to no avail :( Can you guys please help me? Thank You!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
If WiFi won't turn on, then you haven't flashed the proper kernel modules corresponding to your stock ROM.

Are the "MK2" modules you flashed the ones for your specific model?

Sigh. Here we go again...

Boot the stock rom. Copy the files in /system/lib/modules onto your external SD card.

Boot Hyperdrive. Mount system read/write, then restore those files into /system/lib/modules

Reboot Hyperdrive. You should now have WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ppat324wi:
Try reflashing these modules that are from the safestrap

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] safwat2351040:
assert same

Ok, I got it to work just as you said. What I was doing wrong was using the Explorer on the rom, your supposed to use the one on safestrap and make sure you select the option to load the system files from the rom so when you use the Explorer on safestrap the system files to load up . Thanks bro!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaycee1513:
Sorry for the newbie question but how exactly can i make my wifi turn on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's impossible to say since you didn't say anything about what you might have done to make it stop working.

Did you install Safestrap?

Did you install a ROM into a new slot? If so, did you subsequently flash the correct kernel modules?

What software are you using? For that matter, what phone are you using?

The most common cause is forgetting to flash the kernel modules after flashing a ROM. The instructions in this thread explain how to recover from that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techoverload:
Ok so I am now super frustrated. I don't know what to try now.

ATT l337 S4

I did the down grade from the first post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663545

Did the bypasslkm exploit and thats where I stopped. So my MK2 is now rooted and has wifi.

I then installed hyperdrive on rom slot 1

Now no matter what I do I can not get the wifi to toggle on.

I clean installed the rom, fresh slot partition, clear davlink etc, install rom, install mk2 modules, reboot, nothing, wifi wont toggle.

Tried the above suggestion of moving the system/lib/module files from the working rom.......did it both in ESexplorer inside the rom, and also from the file manager inside safestrap......still no wifi.......

Its the last thing I need.

Have a rooted gear watch with nova launcher etc. Needed this rom so I would have bluetooth tethering, which I now have....but no wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] htcp85:
I'm trying to do this but how you mount system read/write, then restore those files into /system/lib/modules

I'm stuck on this, have no wifi installed proper mk2 modules after flashing Rom, still no good. Need help please thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Mounting system read/write? Use Root Explorer or a similar tool that is root aware.

Or, use a shell and "mount -o remount,rw /system".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] varxtis:
Im very sorry for such a dumb question, but I didn't know how else to ask this.

Im familiar enough with rooting where I rooted my Galaxy Note 8.0 using the Odin method.

But Im not familiar with roms very well. My friend has a Nook (BNTV250 Software 1.4.3) that she never uses. She said if it was more like a galaxy tab in regards to user interface, internet, and access to google play store, she would love it. So what I want to know is can I root the Nook, and put a custom rom on it that makes the nook act like a galaxy tab? I understand that hardware features like the S Pen wouldn't apply. but are there other significant differences that would prevent this type of mod from being possible?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mr_Fumbles91:
It is possible yes and no. I mean you can flash a custom ROM I suggest cm 10.2 official. Then theme it with a touchwiz adw theme

Close enough eh?

don't flash cm10.2. it's apparently really slow. try the m4 snapshot of cm11, it's running great for me.

Hey all.

I wonder if anyone can fix this. I've tried the various shortcut apps for copy and paste (Vijay, PQz, PHM) and every one has the same problem: If I copy from one message or app, then ok it and move to another, I can't paste anything. I can copy and paste from within the same email/message, but not different ones.

The standard tap and hold method works though.

Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
VJKeyPress just simulates pressing ctrl-c ctrl-x etc.

PHM tools uses a better technique that I'm trying to "copy" (pun not intended) but it's a weird API call.

However, if ctrl-c ctrl-x etc works, VJKeyPress should work in the same way.

Odeean recently posted some problems regarding the transferability of the clipboard. Check his posts.

The problem may be that the copy and paste source and target may be copying in different formats, eg RTF instead of text. However, this should be easy to prove/disprove.

I'm going to be re-addressing VJKeypress cliboard functions as soon as I get a bit more time to do some programming. Had no time this week :(

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dan13l:
I've set ctrl c and ctrl v up, and they do the same thing.

It's only a tap and hold that actually allows me to copy and paste between apps. It's very odd...
[Moto X Q&A] Treadstone06:
My mother in law just upgraded from a flip phone to a moto x and we were trying to show the android beam ability to pass pictures from her phone to our HTC ones. However, when I touch the phones together in the appropriate spots, the notification sound happens but the picture on her phone doesn't get smaller and give the option to tap to send. However, I can send her a picture the same way with no troubles at all so I know everything is turned on correctly. I can't really play with the touchless control on hers b/c she won't use it so if it's something in there, I've missed it. Can someone please give me a hand with this? Any help is much appreciated.

Haven't really gotten to play with the NFC on the X too much. You should try sending a contact and see if that works. If it works then there's something off either in the app or beam.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Yaminashi:
Hey guys, I'll make this short and sweet. I've been looking around the boards for a few weeks for a simple flip cover that wont break the bank or damage my phone.

All I need is a good fit, earpiece hole and sleep/wake function (not spending $50 on the official LG flip cover though)

I came across this one on amazon:

http://www.amazon.ca/Nillkin-Fruit-...2338300&sr=8-1&keywords=Nexus+5+Nillkin+fruit

I haven't seen any reviews of this case other than a single sentence saying they didn't like the thickness and it is only one person's opinion.

Has anyone else had experience with this case? I'm mostly concerned about the polycarbonate inside scratching the corners of my Nexus.

Any input on this case is appreciated, but I am also open to other suggestions for cases that meet the above criteria.

Thank you!

I just got this in the mail today. Only $7.99 shipped from this seller:

I've always liked Nillkin products. Good quality stuff. This case is no exception. I got the black one. The case is a glossy polycarbonate. Fairly thick. It's a gunmetal metallic color. The flip cover is a sturdy leather like cover. The magnetic closure works really well. Sleep/Wake works great. The design of the magnetic closure reminds me of the great Poetic cases for tablets. The entire case gives the phone some weight and a very premium feel and look. Wireless charging works fine with the case on. I think it's better than the LG case and for only $7.99!
