G4 chip MDA Vario unlocked

Got my vario today locked to T-mobile UK. And yes it was a G4 chip.

IPP/SPL - 2.21.0001

OS - 2.24.2.6

I had no t-mobile SIM so stuck my vodafone SIM in, first asks for my personal SIM password, then it asks for unlock code.

At this point I ran lokiwiz03a, which ran but never gave me unlock code, mentioned something about not being able to copy some file and it might be in use.

So I copied EnableRapi.cab to my phone and ran EnableRapi.cab from File Explorer, that went fine (message about overwrite, said yes)

Then I ran LockiwizMsl.bat from desktop while being connected to ActiveSync and there it was the unlock code.

Entered worked fine.

As regards the ROM upgrade, my main reason was to lose all t-mobile crap, but found an easier way with ZERO risk:

First time ever you startup phone it does inital setup, the last step it beings to do an install, as soon as the install starts pull the battery out, then reboot. (Important to have the battery cover off already)

On reboot you should be able to go into the phone no setup screens this time, also ZERO customizations, yes means you need to do all the GPRS, MMS etc etc setting yourself, but that I am happy to do.

Hope this helps someone.

forgot main thing, used lokiwiz03a, thanks to machinagod.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] below24:
Good, im glad i could have been of assistance.

good luck in the future with it.

but the pulling out of the battery im not too sure about... :shock:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jeegnesh:
I agree pulling battery out sounds crazy, I remember reading it in a forum, thought it would never work myself, since it was a new phone i could always return in 7 days, so thought what the hell, let me try it out.

Been running one day, and everything works fine, phone is fine, wi-fi working, bluetooth and GPS, so far so good.

Trying some tweak programs now :-)

Loving my MDA, why did i not get one sooner.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] below24:
Thats what i thought, the Vario is very good, but i still think its a little on the large side and not as fast as it can be... I am really waiting for the tytn.

I have found that the firmware from T-mobile is pretty stable and has a quicker startup than the qtek 9100 firmware. however this may not be the case with everyones mobile, just me! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Slave1:
Could you not just perform a soft reset instead of pulling the battery out?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jeegnesh:
soft reset - you mean when the install begins ?

really not sure, guess next person can try this out :-) and let us know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalyst:
This tool is great, file transfer it to your MDA then just click on it, it will unlock your phone to all networks, I tried it on my MDA Vario with T-mobile for an o2 sim and it works great no issues, I can use GPRS, MMS, Call waiting etc
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Krinkiespijer:
...yes, soft reset while device installs works (of course I made a full backup with SPB-backup first)...

Any way to get transparent nav bar and status bar on third party launcher such as nova launcher by any method or using any xposed module?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3Duck:
Depends on what ROM you are using? Because in Nova there is a setting for transparent nav and status bar.

Look for status bar tint.An xposed module which gives you control of changing colors of status bars. Set it to transparent.

The thing with Heartbleed is that it's behavior can't not even be tracked. The whole vulnerable behavior is not enabled part is just BS to calm the user down. Heartbleed is not detectable nor can it's behavior be determined to have been enabled or not. Only way to completely be sure is to have it patched. This is why is quite possibly the worst bug in computing history. It exploits the same secure layer that protects information to protect itself and it's trace.

Hey guys, whats up ?

I'm planning on buying a used Lumia 920 from eBay and wanted to know if there is a legitimate way to unlock this phone.

I've read threads about AT&T not giving the unlock codes online anymore and that you have to be a customer in order to do so. Is this true ?

If so, what are other legitimate ways that i can unlock this phone, i really want to know this, Thanks for the help. Awaiting responses.
[Nokia Lumia 920] noxified:
You can unlock it with code. You can buy that code from random sites. Search here or google.

It costs about 60 $.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nickles93:
Ok thanks for the heads up. Are there any FREE ways to get it unlocked ?
[Nokia Lumia 920] noxified:
Some with at&t accounts, but i don't know about that. I have paid for unlocking.

As far as I know, there isn't any way for unlocking yet for free.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdrudd2:
Hello, all

I have looked and searched. I have seen a few threads and a few posts, but cannot find anything concrete about this. I even officially bricked a device trying to follow a thread (to the letter).

I have rooted and unlocked several devices in the past, and installed many ROMs before. However, this device is proving to be a pain.

Recently I purchased the Tab 2 (SCH-i705) for a very low price. It was shipped to me running Android 4.1.2 (on Verizon) and the baseband is VRBMI1. I saw MrHyde03's post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1885558) on rooting and unlocking the bootloader. However, when I flashed the aboot.img file, it toasted my previous device. No power-up, no USB recognition, no nothing. Managed to take it back and got it traded out for a new device. I now have a new Tab2, but the same setup. What I want to do is run the Slimkat ROM.

My long winded question is: can I do this? I know Verizon has made it tough to unlock the bootloader, something needed in order to add a custom recovery. Does anyone know of a method that will allow me to add the Slimkat ROM to this device? I know not many people are using it or developing for it any longer. But any help would be appreciated. Again, I have seen what MrHyde03 wrote up, but I am afraid I will brick another device by trying to flash an aboot.img file.

I did see this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48392009&postcount=1) about using Safestrap and not actually unlocking the device. I am currently doing that on my S4 since Verizon has it locked down. But I would not be able to run the ROM that I want.

Any help or pointers would be great. Thanks for reading and helping.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JelloB:
You can root it, but I don't think you can unlock the bootloader anymore. The root method is linked in one of those Hyde threads near the end. It's not his method... there's a "one click" for multiple devices that works great.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdrudd2:
That's what I've realized. Bummer too. I'll go take a look. I hadn't seen a one-click method. Everything I've seen has to be done via Odin & ADB.

If you happen to find the easy method, let me know!

I'm the happy owner of a Blue Angel. However, with posts of up to a week ago still showing on the first page of Forum Index -> Blue Angel, I can't help wondering how long it will be before Blue Angel will no longer need a niche of its own here. My curiosity about what others here may think naturally led me to the idea of an XDA dead pool.

Some of the 15 phone-types currently listed in the forum index have already been discontinued by their manufacturers. Which is next?

Apache

Atom

Prophet

Universal

Wizard

Magician

Alpine

Himalaya

Andes

Blue Angel

Wallaby

StarTrek

Typhoon

Hurricane

Tornado

To keep our dead pool as sound as possible, please place only one bet in this thread. Thanks to all who may be interested in this meritless idea.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfstunoodle:
Hi everyone

I recently came across a post where a Z1C owner mentioned that to prevent the phone from losing its "water resistance", he bought the DK32 magnetic charging dock for his phone. That made me worried, will charging the phone using USB cable everyday make the phone less water resistance? What could possibly be his/her reason behind this? The only benefit I could think of the DK32 is to make charging the phone much easier and comfortable while able to rest the phone for watching movies and stuff..... So my question is, is there a durability/longevity difference between charging the phone using USB cable or magnetic dock?

Thanks everyone :good:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tux_topo:
The manual says that. The protector of the USB connector, has some o-ring that make the phone waterproof. So, using it too much, will gone a damage the waterproof capabillies of the phone...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arup ZR:
There is a cheaper charging cable which works very well so no need to spend extra bucks on the dock. I use it on my Z1c and it works very well.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LotoTutu:
Using USB cable everday means that you have to frequently open the USB Cover flap. If the seal ring of the USB cover flap worn, the water resistance will lose until you replace a new one.

Since I do not have the original one for this phone I tried my Nexus 7's USB cable and its rather loose, I don't think I can flash a ROM with it due to the chance that it comes off during flash(which it does from slight movement when connected as MTP; its not coming off per se, but it does get disconnected).

But why does it? MicroUSB should be identical, or is the DHD USB port broken?

You have to see the build number and match it with philz kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naytheet:
If you have a terminal app installed (like Terminal Emulator), you can run the following command that may tell you more about what kernel is installed:

$ getprop | grep -i kernel

Note, this doesn't work for all ROMs, but for an official 4.1.2, it should work. If you don't have a terminal app, then you can also use 'adb shell' to run the same command (if you have the Android SDK installed on your PC).

My Galaxy Exhibit II 4G is about a year old, rooted and i have CM11 installed. Everything was fine, I had it plugged in (charging) and i was downloading an app (Camscanner) from the Mobogenie store when suddenly the phone shut off and the battery icon appeared with the loading circle in the middle.

This did not stay on for long as the screen would go off and this would again appear. After pulling the battery and removing the charger, then reinserting the battery, the phone would just flash the SAMSUNG logo in this very same manner.

I am unable to get into either recovery or download modes and when i try this combination (VOL UP + VOL DWN) i get:

RAMDUMP MODE

Cause: Force Upload

I have been reading forums for hours and i have found nothing. Is my device bricked? What can I do to recover it? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated :( :crying: :confused:

The link you sent me to sounds similar to my problem, except I wasn't trying to update the firmware. The crash was spontaneous.

However, neither of those methods work. As soon as I put in the battery the SAMSUNG logo appears, then disappears and reappears and it continues like that... Pressing the power button does nothing, whether by itself or with the volume up/down button

I am beginning to panic
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfbs:
What happens when it's connected to power?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] sultanofcardio:
Anyway, after many hours of investigation I discovered it was a hardware problem. The power button was stuck and so it forced it to reboot repeatedly. It also explains why it (the power button) was unresponsive. Disassembling the phone and freeing up the power button solved the problem.

P.s. Your build of CM11 is boss
