Re: blocked phone as

No, some countries (eg China, Turkey ) bar handsets purchased outside that country - not just because stolen etc..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Koksie:
fluffcat1 is right, it was all over the fora that since summer last year (I think) Turkey blocks IMEI nos from phones bought outside the country, it can be the case that the topic starter fell victim to that law. Contact your provider and ask why the phone is blocked. It it is stolen, contact the seller and ask for refund, if that not works try disputing it with Paypal or your creditcard company. If it is blocked because it is a foreign phone, try to sell it back to him or put it on Ebay.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mike freegan:
He never said he got it on ebay did he?

Chances are it's stolen. Either way, changing an IMEI is against the law.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Edyhan:
No Last summer Turkey approved a law to ban the phones purchased from out of country.

You can register your phone to your gsm provider with the reciept and your passport.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mrtdgn:
Turkish Government told that the number of the phones that are entering Turkey without custom taxes was becoming a financial problem for Turkish economy (Dollars are going outside for purchasing these phones and no taxes are being collected by government at the customs) and found this solution. I will not argue about the solution. Some say that the local sellers forced this law (The sales taxes in Turkey are really high, you can buy the same phone from USA or Europe at half price), some say that IMEI iformation will be used for national security reasons and so on.

The reality is that the phones that are not declared at customs and that are not registered by their IMEI numbers and user phone numbers are being blocked. This is what law says.

I saw a lot of people that are asking for IMEI changing solutions but there is no tool (excludig XDA manipulator which was changing the IMEI of the XDA for a limited number of bootloader versions) for this purpose. If there is, definetely noone will share it. Noone will understand your situation and you will be treated as a possible thief. I saw a lot of people that faced such words. You can not blame the members. They will never know the case and they do not know you either. If the phone is "clean" as you claim then the best thing will be to sell the phone in ebay and deliver it to outside of Turkey so that neither you, nor buyer will face any more problems.

Furthermore if the IMEI is changed the operator can understand this there are other keys in the phone as well. I think mamaich has written sth about this. In this case you will definetely be sentenced.

Cheers.

What a Mess

Soon there will be a software to change your imei with another.

There are several applications for other phones, but for thw Wizard not yet :(

Additional note : It is right that phones bought not from Turkey can't be used anymore. They all are blocked. Even if you buy from Ebay or internet shopping.

The goverment made the rules in a miserable way.

I also buy a qtek 9100 with its bill. So it is not stolen. But Turkish government closed gsm features. My needs same as lovebodi. I want to change imei number. is there anybody help me?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Cavey.co.uk:
I think the idea is you cannot change the IMEI number ever, it is meant to stop people from stealing phones.

So I really doubt there is anyone who can help. Sorry.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TheSanitarium:
if you have a receipt go to the customs and ask them to register your phone as an import metarial and pay the tax they want. then go to telekominikasyon kurumu with the papers you had from customs and ask them to register your phone. it is the only way.

[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
Hi,

I rooted my phone because I wanted to use an application called FolderMount, so I could store big chunks of data from apps onto my SD card.(it seems as though the SD card is useless on Android)I am using an HTC Desire 601, with Android version 4.2.2. Now my problem is that, I'm having an error with FolderMount because of something to do with external SD card r/w permissions.(no this is not specific to the app, it's a software wide problem, that's why I'm posting here.) So I found a "fix" that involved editing platform.xml and adding a line. However, everytime I try to edit it, either the phone just reboots, or no changes are made. Basically, the system folder is denying me r/w access. In root explorer there is a feature to mount it temporarily as r/w, but then if I reboot my changes are lost. This is a problem which I think is also not allowing me to install Busybox. Please help me with this. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Stock rom?

Which root app do you use?
[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
I'm using the default version of Android that came with my phone, if that's what you mean. And umm what do you mean by which root app did I use?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
You said you "ROOTED" your phone. That means you have some kind of "SUPERUSER" app installed. I hope so at least ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
Oh okay I have the SuperSU app it's SuperSU v1.93 I don't know if it's the latest version. Sorry, I'm new to this rooting stuff. I only got this phone this Monday, and I only got to know about rooting the day after.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Open SuperSU and check if access is granted for "FolderMount"

Do you use free FolderMount? Thats limited to 3links at all.

What type of sd card do you use?
[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
Yes, of course access is granted. I have only tried to create one link so far...so it can't be anything to do with the number of links permitted in FolderMount. I mean, I haven't been able to create a single working link. Precisely, the error I'm getting in FolderMount has something to do with sd card r/w permissions(I've linked a screenshot;maybe you've had this problem before and you solved it?)

The only possible fix I can find is the edit to platform.xml. I've contacted the developer; notice how it says "Attempt to patch my ROM"? Well the developer told me that when the patch is applied and when I reboot, the patch is erased because of the reboot(he said that seems to be the case) so I need to find a way to ensure that it isn't erased. I'm having the same problem here; when I make an edit, it's erased either immediately or after reboot. So that's why I need to find a way to fix this. Thanks, if you have a possible fix.

I've tried using DirectoryBind, but it doesn't work and I hear it's been broken since 4.2. I don't know how to revert back to a previous Android version for my device, so I'm stuck.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Some files e.g. related to kernel will be generated on every boot. In that case you can't change em permanently. BUT you can try another solution so far :) Create a ext2/ext4 partition on your external sd and use Link2SD or APP2SD pro :)
[General Questions and Answers] Sithu Htun:
In the superSU setting, try enabling option allow apps requesting root permission at start up(on boot).
[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
Um..how do I do that?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
Yes.Philz-Touch Modified, Advanced CWM Recovery. At least, that's whats stated in the Desire 601 root guide.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
This recovery has a built-i feature to parttition sd-card. Pls keep in mind that all data on sd will be deleted during the process. i look out for a guide.

Your recovery / Rom (Kernel) has to support this feature. I can't find this information. So pls be patient. I'll pm you as soon as i found a safe solution.
[General Questions and Answers] Jason1712:
So I just have to do that? Just boot into recovery, then use the partition sd-card feature in my recovery, and then that's it? My sd card will be partitioned? Ok, then I download..Link2SD?

thanks for the fast upload...

but i cant install apps now... it just says Unfortunately PackageInstaller has stopped...

i moved it to /system/app and permissions changed to rw-r-r

any solutions? i searched google but no luck...
[Moto X Q&A] southern87:
Since it is built in. You may just have to move it and reboot. Option 2 would be install system apps installer from the market and try it. Option 3, flash a ota or whatnot lol.
[Moto X Q&A] EvilDragonEX:
thanks for the upload... :D just feel like saying it haha

so... the solution for it is to just wipe cache and dalvik cache after moving to /system/app and changing permissions :D
[Moto X Q&A] southern87:
As long as the app doesn't need to be installed then yeah that should work. Is your write protection disabled or unlocked bootloader?
[Moto X Q&A] EvilDragonEX:
i have a developer edition... so its unlocked bootloader... took me some time to figure out how to root it... first is to flash philz touch recovery from fastboot then boot into recovery and go to Philz Settings inside recovery and click Re-root system (SuperSU) then reboot system and install SuperSU app from playstore and You got a rooted phone :D

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdljl2005:
Hi all!

My power button is stuck as pressed constantly, and cannot be unstuck.

So there is no way to flash recovery image under fastboot;

nor can I flash CWM recovery TOUCH using ROM Manager, due to network reason that cannot be solved from my aspect;

Flashify said "cannot find recovery block", thus unable to flash by it;

GooManager seems only able to flash TWRP that I decide not to use at present.

So what I want to ask is, is there a way, for our Nexus S, to flash recovery by an Android terminal command? Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] adamtan:
3 Questions regarding unlocking bootloader

1. Is there a reason why do we unlock bootloader for the Nexus7 (2013)?

We can use custom kernels etc, but anything else?

2. Any implications of unlocking bootloader? I understand for Sony, if you unlock bootloader, you will lose DRM keys, X-Reality, Bravia Engine etc.

How about for Nexus 7 (2013)?

3. Can I still root without unlocking bootloader?

Many thanks in advanced! :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jhall8:
You're welcome. I can't think of any disadvantage to unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus 7. Even if you need to return it under the warranty, you can relock the bootloader. With an unlocked device, you can unroot/reroot and flash custom ROMs. I ran my Nexus 7 stock unrooted for a few days, but then unlocked and rooted. I backed up my stock 4.4.2 system, and then flashed Paranoid Android, PA Gapps, and Supersu.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CheyTac-12:
You can't flash some of the best roms out there, including cyanogenmod or paranoidandroid. For stock based roms should be fine without it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Corwinder:
Ok, I've tried several different roms and I always back up. I've used Oudhs, Clocworkmod and TWRP. No matter which one I back up with I never have any luck on restore. They all seem to restore ok but I get stuck in boot loops everytime. Factory reset doesn't help. Wiping caches don't help. This is just beginning to really drive me nuts. I don't really mind having to reinstall everything but jeez I just wish I knew what the deal was. I never had trouble on my Motorola Defy or my Galaxy S2 but I sure can't seem to get anywhere on the S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alex9090:
It happens sometimes to me. When I get stuck after restoring nandroid, I get back into recovery and reflash the kernel and it boots the device. I am using philz recovery and its been working great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Have you tried PhilzTouch yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Corwinder:
Never used philz and never thought of just reflashing the kernel. I may try that though. Now to find the kernel. I should mention that I end up using Odin to reflash stock. Then I root and then custom recovery. That boots fine and for the most part all I'm ever doing is trying to restore a 4.4 rom I backed up.

Flashing a kernel worked. lol my phone doesn't think it's the stock kernel but it booted at least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Corwinder:
I do find this interesting. I would think when you restore a nandroid backup that it would restore the kernel that was with the rom you are restoring. I guess this isn't the case?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Corwinder:
I've had Rom Manager Premium since my Defy days. I'm a firm believer in it. I was just surprised I would have to reflash a kernel after restoring a rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
I use OUDHs Touch recovery v1.0.3.3 in conjunction with Rom Manager and I have NEVER had that problem. Also, when I use Rom Manager to "Back Up Current Rom" I can NAME the backup file, and it goes into the recovery and uses the filename I have already typed in and it's a seamless operation. Even using restore via Rom Manager works seamlessly and it has NEVER balked on me.

The only time I had a problem was once using My Backup Pro and trying to do an on-line system backup. MMS, SMS, Call Log has always been absolutely perfect! No out of sequence messages, and all the pictures are restored correctly too!

Aloha and Good Luck!

BTW, I am on a Stock 4.2.2 with the latest M919UVUFNB4 (modem.bin) Flashed for the radio and it's reception qualities are better than it's ever been before!
