[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
I am loathe to help you because you are talking about a stolen or fraudulently sold phone. And whether you were scammed or complicit in the fraud, it remains that the phone is stolen and helping anyone use a stolen phone spurs an ongoing demand for stolen phones.

I'll just say that TMB blacklisting the IMEI ought to prevent you from using the phone on another carrier. However, TMB is well known for being erratic in sharing their blacklist with other carriers. So provided that your phone is not re-activation OR SIM locked, you can probably use the handset on another carrier. For the moment anyway.

TMB has been promising lately to clean up their act in this regard and start sharing their blacklist with other carriers. So while you might be able to use that stolen handset today, it will stop working in two months, four months or whatever date TMB actually starts sharing their blacklist with other carriers.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Short answer: No you cannot.

Long answer:

As I believe a T-Mobile and ATT "contract" (not really a contract, more so an agreement) established a more global blacklist.. well, list, prevents the use on other networks. This is a new policy that has been created.

I even recall an instance where a Verizon S4 (most of Verizon's phone have both CDMA and GSM hardware) would not be allowed on T-Mobile's network.

However, brighter side of things, you could try Swappa.com to sell it as a blocked IMEI phone (i believe they are still usable overseas)

Or, what I would do, part the phone out and sell each part, you will probably get more for it. Screen display's aren't cheap, especially the entire digitizer and LCD still glued together.

For future purchases over Craigslist, ensure the transaction happens inside a T-Mobile store. They can transfer the phone serial and such to your account leaving the previous account holder phoneless. This also ensures that the phone is truly paid off in full. If the phone gets reported lost/stolen, you have proof that it was legally sold to you and not stolen.

If you are on mk2 and want kitkat you know all about the OTA update fails with error 402. Below is a guide I threw together to walk you thru the process that worked for me.

******BEWARE YOU WILL LOSE ROOT*****

1. Unroot using SuperSU.

2. Use Kies to update/restore firmware on your PC. (KIES gives an option to back up your data if you want to do that you can)

3. Once rebooted search for system update.(restore data from backup if you backed up your data)

4. Download and install the update. I did the whole process using only data no WiFi (not sure if it makes a difference but that's what I did).

5. Once your phone reboots you will be greeted by a lovely red Verizon splash screen.

Hope this helps you and others!

Dear All

I have a problem. I look at videos of others model of android phone, they have an option to turn off Shutter Sound of Camera (Example: Tone 1, Tone 2, Tone 3, Tone 4, Off) but for my model LG Optimus G E973, there are only 4 options (Tone 1, Tone 2, Tone 3, Tone 4), no "off". Even if I set the phone in silent mode, the shutter still make sound. It's very annoying when I use the phone in my classroom. What should I do?

[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
I'm really getting goddamn frustrated with how stupidly these forums are (NOT) organized.

In the main G2 forums there are plenty of roms that work with Sprint and people talk about using things like a modified ZVC radio to boot aosp based roms on phones with ZVC, yet there isn't a single thread for said radio in the actual Sprint section. This needs to change. If it's damn near impossible to find something so simple as a REQUIRED file to be able to boot between nand backup and a flashed rom then it's no wonder there aren't many developers. Not only did LG royally screw us with making this phone a streaming pile of brown bricks if you make the smallest mistake, but we also have everything spread across more than six forums when you need something (G2 Android, original, apps and themes, then the Sprint specific ones and even sometimes in general or Q/A)
[Sprint LG G2] PloniAlmoni:
I haven't seen news of such a kernel. Link?
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
I see most users running custom ROMs ( I am not one of them ) are using Furnace or PAEK as their kernels, http://captaindbg.com/list-of-custom-roms-kdz-and-kernel-for-lg-g2/ <-- funny how this lists links, point right back to XDA , I can agree this forum does lack on some things, e.g. click on the tools/utilities tab from the Sprint LG G2 home page....spoiler.....its empty! Best of Luck Man, be careful when flashing kernels! ;)
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
I meant radio, Not kernel.

When flashing any rom over ZVC you have to flash a ZVA radio to get any sound at all, and without ZVA radio you can't make calls. In some threads like the one for Mahdi rom, I've seen people mention a modded ZVC radio but there's no posts for it anywhere and anytime I ask people what freaking ZVC radio they're talking about that will work with both aosp roms AND stock nand backups I get no answer.

It's frustrating as all Hell because I'd like to be able to flash a rom from ZVC without having to tot and wipe the whole device to use stock again. If you flash ZVA radio to fix service and sound, you're stuck. If you try to restore a ZVC backup it won't boot until you use flash tool back to stock.
[Sprint LG G2] PloniAlmoni:
Sorry. That clears it up a bit, I've been a bit out of the loop, there's a way to go from ZVC to having a custom recovery without downgrading now?

[Android General] tuxboy:
While porting features or ROMs from one Android device to another, some of us frequently encounter missing shared libs error. The process of finding missing shared libraries (.so files) might be a bit trivial, and time consuming. This tutorial is going to demonstrate a one-command way of finding all the dependencies of an executable, or another shared library.

FIRST TIME CONFIGURATION

Open up your terminal, type in:

$ echo 'readelf -d $1 | grep "\(NEEDED\)" | sed -r "s/.*\[(.*)\]/\1/"' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/bin/ldd-arm
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ldd-arm

[Member [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] told about this (better) way of performing this, without NDK and a more readable output. Thanks!]

FINDING MISSING LIBS

Basic usage is very easy. In your terminal:

Say, for example, we want to find out the dependecies (which shared libraries are required) of my sensor HAL. I would type in terminal,

$ ldd-arm sensors.msm7x27a.so

And, I get the desired output!

liblog.so
libutils.so
libcutils.so
libhardware.so
libdl.so
libmemalloc.so
libc.so
libstdc++.so
libm.so

And that's how you can find out the libraries you are missing!
[Android General] OdSazib:

[Android General] musfiqus:

[Android General] dummie999:
Awesome tutorial! But are you sure

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:LOCATION_OF_NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin' > ~/.bashrc

shouldn't be

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:LOCATION_OF_NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

with >> instead of >? You don't want to override your complete ~/.bashrc, right?

In my experience, the native (amd64) readelf worked just as well with ARM binaries. I'm using this command line in my script:

readelf -d $1 | grep '\(NEEDED\)' | sed -r 's/.*\[(.*)\]/\1/'

The final sed leaves only the bare library names in the output.
[Android General] migui0401:
In there any way to use this in windows?
[Android General] Ricky Divjakovski:
LEGEND!

just the sort of thing i was looking for!

you should just make binary for this, the "lib dependancy viewer"

it should be called by something like

libdepv PATH/TO/LIB

[Android General] jazzespresso:
good one indeed....ok now say how we can find for ported app's missing or shared libs and its dependency? is this also work?
[Android General] Augustine02:
Nice job
[Android General] _that:
Why a binary? Rename the script to libdepv and you can call it already exactly like that. :)

For finding native library dependencies of apks, you need to decompile them, search the smali files for invokes of "loadLibrary" and trace the argument back to the string constant (usually it's just a few lines above the loadLibrary call). Prepend "lib" to the string constant and append ".so", that's the name of the required native library.

An example could look like this:

const-string v0, "defcontainer_jni"
invoke-static {v0}, Ljava/lang/System;->loadLibrary(Ljava/lang/String;)V

So we know that this app requires libdefcontainer_jni.so.
[Android General] mikereidis:
:)

I'm using the latest r9d NDK and there are some ld* binaries, but no ldd-arm .

Also my NDK is "Linux 64-bit" so my prebuilt files are under:

$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/

While I'm at it, not all libraries or binaries are explicitly linked to their SO targets. I use dynamic loading in several of mine and so does android for HAL libraries. Best way to find these is by using "strings", assuming there's an explicit string in there, or at least a partial one.
[Android General] digitalhigh:
I love you so much.

excellent thread :D
[Android General] Entropy512:
Yep. Same here - my system readelf seems fine when used on ARM binaries for this purpose.

(fairly old trick, but the sed stuff makes it a lot nicer.)

Obviously another approach to this is to take the above command and paste it into a text editor, save it, and chmod +x it

Rather than use /usr/local/bin/ I use ~/bin and add it to my PATH

Are you saying we need to look for smali files with loadLibrary in the text? I have just looked at all of the smali files from an app I have just decompiled, and there isn't a single smali file with loadLibrary in the text. Sorry if I have misunderstood you.
[Android General] _that:
Yes. Search *.smali for "loadLibrary" in lines that look similar to the second line in my example.

Then this app doesn't load any native libraries and depends only on the framework (or it uses another method to load a library that is unknown to me).
[Android General] startracker:
1>Copy all libs of port ROM

2>Paste in base ROM

3>Mark don't copy files which are already existing

4>To cross check see the number of items selected in status bar and number of marked √ libs.

5>Then say don't copy its over !

6>U get all the missing libs

That's what I do to get missing libs and it works!!

Looks like you are trying to run the command on your phone - this is designed to run on the PC where you work on the ROM.
[Android General] bluflight:
Many thanks mate, you do not know how long I was looking for this :good: so I imagine that if I do not find in Smali invoke of loadLibrary mean this app not need/create any .so file when installed, right?
[Android General] _that:
If it's not a system app, the apk will contain all required libraries anyway, so you just need to look what's inside the apk. :) For system apps it's different, because all their shared libraries are mixed together in /system/lib. For both system and non-system apps, the native libraries need to be loaded somehow from the compiled Java code, and I think there is no other way than calling loadLibrary. So, yes, if there is no loadLibrary call, the app doesn't use any native libraries. Or it uses an unknown mechanism to load them. :)

Not directly related to your apk question, but related to the topic of this thread:

I've recently written a script to check native dynamic library dependencies. It does not only check which libraries are needed, but also if those libraries are compatible and if all unresolved symbols are resolved, and which symbols are used from which library. Very useful for porting ROMs onto older proprietary HAL libraries or for porting stock system apps to different ROMs. If there is interest, I'm going to release it in a separate thread with some documentation. If you need it already now, look for "ldcheck" in my github.
