[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep that could be an issue, also...

If you use an I9100G MB, you're effectively turning it into an I9100G. You won't be able to use I9100 firmware, and you might have problems with the other components (apart from the screen) not playing nice with what's on the MB. If it were me & I was keen on keeping the phone, I'd get an I9100 MB (I mean, I wouldn't; I'd get a new phone, but for the purpose of this exercise), they're not difficult or expensive to source these days. I can only remember one thread like this (that I've seen at least; there has probably been a few others) over the past ~2 yrs, and I don't recall how that worked out (whether the person ended up trying an I9100G MB or not).

Edit to add - Hopefully TheUnderling sees this thread, he's pretty cluey re: the hardware side of things & might be able to give you a more definite idea of what things might go wrong or whether you can get it to work OK without too many problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raxo1:
i don't mind to turn it into a 9100G he doesn't use the phone for gaming or whatsoever. its pure for phoning txting and social media.

so do i understand you correct that if i get this mb and place it that the screen might not work at all or distort? what other components do you mean... earphones :p? or the usb charge, the camera?

at the moment i will keep on searching then for a second handed i9100 for parts.

thanks for the details so far! :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destiny_Guy:
I am not a technician but in my own opinion it should work.

All the differences between i9100 and i9100g are CPU, GPU and software - shortly, the **** placed on motherboard. Screens, cameras and other stuff is still the same so changing MB will simply turn 9100 into 9100g.

I'm actually considering the same thing (but also I consider putting MB with Qualcomm CPU).

Why? F*ck exynos and its overheating and brickbugs goddamn!
[General Questions and Answers] PeteLeFreak:
Hi,

by using tools like "CPU Identifier" I tried to narrow down the variant of this phone.

This is essential for me so I can find the correct ROM.

I don't know how many hundreds of postings I've read now here on XDA after searching terms like "HDC I9500", "MT6577" or similar.

There seems to be many posts but in the end these are around the HDC Legend which has a different SOC.

As the phone has been bought at a local booth in asia I have no web-references.

So essentially what I know is:

MT6577 x2 1GHz

PowerVR SGX 531

Kernel compiled on 'rooter-pc' workstation by user: rooter ( build: eng.rooter.1372988609 )

CPU Identifier output: HDC I9500 (Galaxy S4 layout)

CPU Identifier benchmark result: 10235 (for 2 cores 20470, 2D graphics 8641)

Somewhere it said "CNANZHI"

Indicated Android version: 4.2.2

Indicated baseband version: UNIVERSAL5410

Indicated kernel version: 3.4.5-526212 se.infra@SEI-44 #1 Wed Apr 24 20:59:59 KST 2013

Indicated build version: JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDL

Additionally I've attached a photo.

The phone is actually thinner compared to a Samsung S4.

NFC does not work or does not exist.

WLAN and BT coverage is relatively limited.

The phone still wouldn't be soooo bad if battery usage wouldn't be such a pain...

Do you have some more details about this phone?

Best regards,

Pete

I stuffed up

I was setting the default keyboard to NullKB in the registry, but I typed in the wrong key, I reset my device. and it would not boot up.

Is there any way to access the registry via Active Synce to fix this wrong key.

I guess my only fix is reloading the OS (ROM) again and all my software.

Please advise...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Digs:
My fix was

hard reset, restore factory settings, and reload every thing...damn
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Digs,

Now that you have a clean install. I suggest you invest on a backup software.

I personally use SPB Backup. What I did was:

1st: Perform a hard reset.

2nd: Install everything from scratch.

3rd: Tried and setup every application on my Universal to my preference. Remember to setup all settings.

4th: Performed a backup under a specified name, like "1st Backup", name it whatever you want.

5th: Set SPB Backup for automatic backup at a specified time.

The advantage of having the original "1st Backup" is it will save me time and effort whenever I get into trouble and I know that it is a clean install, and everything is already setup as I want.

This method had saved me a couple of times already, as I like to try softwares. When I try softwares I install it to the "main memory" before I decide to put it on my Sd card, so it won't mess up my Card which contains all the apps I want that SPB Backup has saved. If I decide that I don't want the application I was trying I just go to File Explorer and run my 1st Backup and I again have a clean fully functional Universal.
[Dell Streak 7] njakts:
Hello!

I bought a very cheap streak 7 from a guy saying it is bricked... It was stuck at Dell logo and kept restarting, Entered recovery mode, did factory reset it it works fine.

second problem with it was, it had broken screen (not LCD, only touch digitizer). Being broken it still worked fine.

few days ago I bought new digitizer, changed it, and now only 1/4 part of the touch screen works... I dont know, maybe digitizer itself is not working properly, but I cannot confirm that untill I have performed calibration.

So does anyone has any idea how to calibrate dell streak 7 screen

I tried:

did a factory reset - nothing

recovery screen - does not have that option

fastboot screen does not have that option

android display settings - nothing

Spent couple of hours googling around and still nothing. I read somewhere that after android update calibration option disapeared from recovery screen, so is there any chance I can downgrade to stock rom maybe?

please help :(

thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:

Not sure what your saying but my Xperia t wouldn't go into flash mode. But I manged it by opening flash tool to the part where it says turn off your phone plug in cable while holding down or up, can't remember which. Then opening pc companion and do a restore. When pc companion automatically puts the phone into flash mode it will crash and close the page on pc companion, not sure why but I think maybe because flash tools trying to connect at the same time. When it closes the page flash tool will connect and work. After writing this I couldn't remember if it was seus or pc companion. Hope this helps

1. Please I'd like to know how service providers read our device specs from our android devices. How do they automatically know the make and model of your device from the sim card and is there a way to spoof your device so they see it as another device?

2. Is there any android app that can deceive your carrier/service provider into thinking you use a blackberry. That is, change your phone model. Is there? Or a specific file that sends the info through the sim that I can play with.

Reason being that BlackBerry subscription in my country is 5 times cheaper than normal data subscription for android (rip off). We were able to initially use blackberry.net APN alongside with a BB subscriptions but the service providers found a way to detect the phone as non BB devices and blocked the APN. If only they can see my phone as a Z10 device I'm sure APN will work normally again.

MY ADB has stopped Working

It happened after Installing the CWM And TWCR

Well What happened it was saying ADB was outdated while installing but it installed CWM and TWCR

Now if i enable ADB in the phone the windows doesnt read that there is a mobile nor anything detected not even charging

When i disable ADB I can see my phone charging and i can transfer files

I don't know what to do and I am very worried ...

Hope If any1 could help...

[Sony Xperia ZR] ayushag96:
Can you use adb over other computers?

Also, try ADB over network. Goto Settings > Developer Options and turn "ADB over network" on. If prompted with a warning, press OK. Then you will see an ip address with a port number under ADB over Network setting. Now open cmd (or Terminal in Linux) and cd to the directory where the ADB files are present. Then type

adb connect <ipaddress>

Of course, replace <ipaddress> with the ip that you see in the Developer Options under ADB over network. It should be something like "192.168.1.2:5555", enter the whole thing. Then see if you are successfully connected by typing

adb devices

.

If you are using windows go to control panel and look for "hardware" or more specifically "drivers". It is somewhere there, just look around and you will find it. Then enable adb and connect phone. Then Select your device name from the list and right-click and select appt. drivers.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] celticpride34:
Hi guys,

so earlier today I received my Asurion replacement (refurbed) Note 2 which was sent to me thanks to 4.3 causing me numerous problems. I didnt root my prior Note 2, I just loved 4.1.1. and then 4.1.2. 4.3 was installed against my will, I wasnt quick enough to do a battery pull but after seeing the "cool features" of 4.3 I decided that rooting the replacement in order to prevent OTA updates would be the first thing I would do. So I rooted it using Casual, it worked flawlessly, no problems, the phone was still working like a new champ. I then started installing all my old apps and getting it the way I like it when BOOM, the screen flickered off, a bunch of weird pixels everywhere, before going totally dead (it was exactly like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QojCiCk5xCs). According to the video its a bad power circuit that controls the screen/gpu. Now, the phone still works. It still boots and has sound and when I wake the lock screen I can drag my finger and hear the water droplet sound. Obviously I plan on calling Asurion ASAP to get a NEW device sent to me but I'm trying to see what I should do about the fact that it is rooted and has TWRP on it (as per the CASUAL install). It is still the exact same 4.1.2 stock that came with earlier today, I havent thrown on any custom rom and havent messed with cpu settings or anything but getting me root. Root didnt do this, it was a lemon replacement.

I'm assuming they'll wipe the data and hopefully reflash it once they fix the board but will they notice that I rooted and have a custom recovery on there? Or will the wiping process alleviate this and make it all stock and locked again? I'm pretty worried as I dont have the money to pay for a broken GN2. Should I try and do an Odin "unroot", as in this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207? I can get into download mode and Odin recognizes it fine. Or, I'm pretty friendly with a guy at a bestbuy samsung kiosk as he flashed my last phone with 4.3, should I try and have him flash 4.3 to this one? Will that get me back to locked, unrooted status?

I hope this isnt asking too much, for some insight. I didnt do anything wrong here, I've been in a constant battle with 4.3 and now the replacement they sent died 8 hours into owning it and I dont want them to try and say that my rooting was the factor and then charge me hundreds of dollars. I'm pretty scared of what might happen. Please, guys, anything helps in this situation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Hi celticpride34,

That sucks that the phone crapped out after 8 hours. I had a bad experience with an Asus Transformer Prime tablet that had screen problems... so I know how frustrating it can be when these things happen.

So just to be clear... with this replacement phone, you are saying that you never updated it to 4.3, and you had it on stock 4.1.2 VRAMC3 when you rooted it with Casual... and left it on rooted/stock 4.1.2 with TWRP recovery when the screen stopped working....

If this is the case and this was my phone, I would want to try to get it restored back to full stock 4.1.2 VRAMC3 before returning it for warranty services. My guess is they will probably check for signs of rooting before they decide if they will honor the warranty again.

It sounds like the link you mentioned on how to "Odin unroot", (which is Droidstyle's guide :) ..so give him a thanks for his hard work), should work to restore the phone to full stock, as long as you can get it into download mode and Odin recognizes the device. Under section 1b, Droidstyle gives links to all the files and steps needed to restore the phone. If you're wanting to factory restore to VRAMC3, you would need to choose the download link for the "Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13" stock restore image, along with the 16gb pit file to restore the phone to full stock.... and follow Droidstyle's steps to Odin flash those 2 files back to the device. (I'm guessing that you have used Odin before, so you probably know... but it takes a while for Odin to do the restore... so I found that I had to be patient while waiting for Odin to give a green "pass" message before unplugging the phone. I think it took about 10 or 15 minutes for me when I did it). If everything goes right and you get a pass in Odin, then the software should be restored to how it was when it arrived to you before you rooted it. (It would be nice if you could access the screen to look and confirm that the phone was restored back to stock before you return it... but I can't think of a work around for that off the top of my head since your screen is not showing anything).

Good luck!! I hope it works out for you whatever you decide to do.
