[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
I'm going to edit my post, but I'm also going to disagree with you. Back when I had a Samsung Captivate you were able to flash Galaxy S i9000 ROMs with some minor tweaks. Inadvertently I accidentally flashed an i9000 one-click to my i897. The flash finished and my was messed up, but not so bad that it made the phone unusable (i.e. buttons were mapped incorrectly and the display was inverted). I discovered I had installed an i9000 bootloader on my phone because the partitions were different and I couldn't boot the phone after flashing i897 stock firmware. The only way I could get stock firmware back on my phone was to flash i897 bootloaders which lead me to believe that my phone had the i9000 bootloader on it. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe Samsung has changed the way things work in the past 4 years, but I do not believe this was always the case.

That said, I will make sure that everybody understands that they could brick their phone if they flash a different bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythi:
Well the captivate is another story the developers got a leak of a signed rbm of the chipset of (i suspect) the humming bird chipset ... when you have something like that minor modifications can be done ... the same happened a while ago with some 8xx and i not sure of the 6xx -which runs in our phones- the leaked rbm would help devs to make other variants easily compatible in the low level side .

bootloaders :good:are also different story ... each and every device these days has a private key as i said earlier this key gets checked before booting by something in chipset (hardware side) and if key mismatch the device will enter a qcom mode for debugging etcetcetcetc........

trust me you don't want to brick a 600$ for simply to flash a bootloader :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Thanks for the info. So here a related question, what would happen if you took an i9295 with 4.2.2 on it and flashed the i537 4.2.2 firmware minus the bootloader? Would it fail to boot due to partitioning or would it work?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solokiller11:
hi man i dont think you right because my last phone was xtreamer joyz which is the exact same phone as the newman n2 and i could install both official framewere with no problem and those two phones have the exact same specs and also the i537 and the i9295 so i think it should work just fine.

but my knowelge isnt good as yours so correct me if im wrong here but i think it should work :)

EDIT:

I still asking my question but also joining to Devo7v question about what will happen.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythi:
If we get a way of unlocking the bootloader we can do this ... I will explain further ...

A stock Sammy ROM comes in the form of a tar.md5 package the .md5 part holds the signature of Sammy , this signature is a type of code that makes the bootloader understand that this package is a signed one with a Sammy key ... When we take the bootloader out of The package (sbl1.bin , sbl2.bin and sbl3.bin) we have to take other parts such as the rbm after taking these we have to repackage the remaining parts in a new tar package ... After doing this we can sign it with an md5 key but this key will give missmatch errors during flash so we have to get the keys of Sammy ... Even if we find those we will have find away to unlock the bootloader to unlock more things
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solokiller11:
I have to say that i didn't really understand why i cant install the official samsung i537 over the official samsung i9295 because the both signed by Samsung.

like if i have flashed the i9295 4.2.2 official stock on my i9295 so i can flash the i537 4.4.2 official stock no? they both have the Samsung key no?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythi:
So u have a gt-i9295 :o:o i thought you have i537 :crying::crying: any way that can be possible as i did it already just wait and you will get it ... i have ensured it won't brick any phone but wifi and camera are not working :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solokiller11:
Hi thank you very much for your answer :laugh:.

And if I will choose to install the i537 4.4.2 on my i9295 do you know if i can fix the camera and the wifi?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythi:
I don't have any idea what must be done ... But I need to investigate more on this .

Hello all,

My friend has set up his S5 to receive pop email using the stock email client, receiving email is fine.. however for emails with a different timezone, receive time and date seems to follows the sender time. (See Email.jpg). However on outlook the same email's receive time and date are correct

I believe it could be some setting on the phone, however i have checked the phone's date and time and timezone, all are correct. Tried unchecking automatic date and time and timezone but did not helped. Also Deleted the pop account and recreated with the same effect. Is there anything else i can check or try?

Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone!

Let me show you my app: a health record for our pets: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emilionel.carnetveto

The aim is simple: keep in the pocket all datas about our pets (appointments, vaccinces, boosters, treatments...)

I add an export/import system, in order to exchange datas between several devices.

The app is free, available in english and in french, and is adapts to tablets.

I hope you like the app, and I hope it will be useful to owners and animal lovers.

Have a nice day,

Lionel
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Nice. Are you a vet yourself or did you create the app with the help of a vet?
[Android Apps and Games] Colionel:
No, I'm not a vet (in France the studies are very difficult). But I have friends who are animals lovers, and they help me a lot.

I also have health records on paper, for my inspiration.

I hope you enjoy my app ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickling:
Hi all ... I am trying to load DoomLord's boot IMG (ready to load a new ROM) and for some reason when I plug into USB (with UP volume) my computer can't recognise the Sony ADB Interface. It recognises the "Sony ADB Interface" as "Found New Hardware" then when I try to select the Sony drivers it says it can't match it and fails when you finish.

I have installed Flashtool and all the drivers, in addition to downloading the latest from the Sony website. I even right click on the .inf files and install them direct but still Windows doesn't want to recognise my phone!

The ADB command prompt waits for a device to be connected, I assume because Windows has not recognised the Sony ADB Interface.

Any ideas? It has all worked previously, when I first rooted the device.

(note, running Windows XP)

is it true that higher the class of sd card less will be random read write speed..? android devices will give better performance in higher random read write speed sd card ......so which class of sd card we should purchase for android devices .....??

[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
That really depends on you. What do you mainly want to do with the sd card?
[General Questions and Answers] rishav754:
is it true that higher the class of sd card less will be random read write speed..?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
"Most people seem to assume that the higher the class, the better the card is for everything, but that's not how it is. Different purposes need different kinds of speed... cards with higher sequential speeds have lower random speeds."
[General Questions and Answers] rishav754:
thanks for reply

which means that class 4 have best random read write speed despite of sequential speed than class 6 and 10 .
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
I'm not a SD crad lol. Every manufacturer's sd cards provide different r/w speeds, even if its the same "class". May I know whats the main purpose of your sd card?
[General Questions and Answers] rishav754:
they only provide sequential read and write speed....but for proper running of an operating system we need good random read and write speed as far as different application are concerned....so in my view if anyone purchase an class 10 sd card for his mobile he wouldn't able to use his hardware properly ....which means lack in performance due to hardware limitation .......so for android running device which have their applications in sd card isn't class 4 should be preferred in spite of other class so that we got good sequential as well as random speed ...:D

regards ..
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Is this a proofed information or your personal opinion ?!?!?!?! I'd just say you're wrong. It DEPENDS ON PURPOSE of th sd card. For me a class 10 card does it much better than my class 4 and 6 card. A "SanDisk Class 10 or higher" won't slow your device in any case...
[General Questions and Answers] rishav754:
its just my personal opinion .....! actually i performed a random read write test on on class 4,6,10 and found that they almost have same RDRW speed ....as a techno- economic i would like to recommend a class 4 sd card for an average user if his/her device doesn't support 1080p video . is it be good to recommended it.....!?? because so many people asked me about this that what would be best for them in economic range ..........because here in india Rupee 1000 saving can change their device preference .......:)

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
In India you will find a lot "cheap" devices with low physical ram / internal storage. For using SWAP ram or int2ext script a class 10 card is at least faster ;)

I am asking this because i got this fake Galaxy S4 gt-i9500 with a Mediatek logo on start up. Its really good so far but i want to change the ROM for reasons you already know ... Anyways i am afraid i am gonna end bricking it because maybe no ROM works for it. Can anyone help me and if it can be done can you show me a detailed tutorial because i am not that good with android os.
[General Questions and Answers] _Stormy:
Hi,

So I've rooted & flashed new custom ROM's on my Galaxy i9000 & P5100, specifically to improve performance, though some technicalities still elude me.

For eg. my P5100 has CyanogenMod 11-20140504-NIGHTLY-p5100 though the baseband version states P5100XXCLI5

On SamMobile there is newer versions, though the downloads are around 1GB, and relates to specific countries, whereas a custom ROM is around 200MB.

i.e

Model: GT-P5100

Model name: GALAXY Tab 2 10.1

Country: Austria (Orange)

Version: Android 4.2.2

Changelist: 2392162

Build date: Sat, 04 Jan 2014 07:15:13 +0000

Product Code: ONE

PDA: P5100XXDNA1

CSC: P5100ONEDNA1

MODEM: P5100XXDMG1

Surely the device will function better with the newer baseband (firmware), however, flashing the incorrect one via Odin could brick the device. :confused:

Therefore, how would I go about selecting the newest baseband (firmware) if my country is not even listed ? ...
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
If your custom rom CM11 runs well --> DON'T flash any other firmware please.

The stock firmware inlcudes all device's partition (bootloader/radio/recovery/system and many BLOATWARE apps) Thats why the stock firmware packages need more storage :)
[General Questions and Answers] _Stormy:
Thanks for the reply and noted.

However, I cannot update the apps as Google Play Store only states "No Connection" "retry" regardless of the number of times I do retry. (WiFi & 3G is working 100%)

I've tried all the options as mentioned on the net, though without any luck. (Re-flashed, factory defaulted, deleted & amended hosts file under /etc, cleared caches & disabled apps)

Currently the tablet is nothing but a large phone ... which is why updating the baseband (firmware) is ... like the only option I have left ...

Therefore that I'm pondering flashing the latest PDA, CSC & MODEM --- firmware--- (which is an Android 4.2.2 Bloat ROM), followed by an CyanogenMod "update" to Android 4.4.2

Which has me pondering the possibility of ONLY flashing the PDA, CSC & MODEM ... (not neglecting the fact that my country is not even listed within the SAMMobile.com firmware download page)
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Lastest Austria(Orange) FIRMWARE
[General Questions and Answers] _Stormy:
Thanks for the download link, though I already downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28194

TAB is now reflecting BASEBAND as P5100XXDMG1 (from previous P5100XXCLI5) with CyanogenMod flashed as the stock didn't come up.

However, I'm still stuck with Google whom cannot communicated with they're servers ....
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Perform a FULL WIPE --> Then flash the stock firmware via ODIN again. Don't flash CM before you got it working again :)
[General Questions and Answers] _Stormy:
Flashed stock ROM, though same result.

Then flashed SlimROM, though also with same result ...

By accident, found MoboGenie, which allows me to update the apps, as "No Connection", retry, is still relevant ...
[Sony Smartwatch] mcteague:
Guys im thinking of ordering a Sony SM2 on Friday but am not sure which strap to go for. My options are Silver metal, silicon or Fifa colours. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers
[Sony Smartwatch] ddasher:
Depends on use. Those with silicon straps are the sports models which is why they come with a code for Runtastic Pro. Although I use the black silicon band because I run, for looks I prefer the metal straps. I couldn't possibly comment on the Fifa Colours. :)
[Sony Smartwatch] FANdroid:
The black metal strap that came with mine was way too heavy. I replaced it with a 24mm nato strap and it's nice and light now. A search for "24mm Nato straps" will give you a variety of styles and colors.

Hello I bought my verizon galaxy s5 yesterday on craigslist knowing verizon phones now come factory unlocked and intended to use it with my T-mobile sim. When I tested the phone everything worked fine but later on when I got home I decided to factory reset it to clean it up and now I am stuck with a "reactivation locked" window asking me for the owners samsung id, I then tried contacting the seller and now he wont respond so I am stuck with it. I have now made research and know that its a security new method on verizon phones. Is there a way to fix/disable this?:( any input will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

This has been the case with 4G phones. It is sim unlocked, as in you can use other carrier's sim cards, not with an unlocked bootloader in case that is what you were thinking.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joderme:
You will have to get it from the seller.

It likely wasn't done maliciously nor may they remember even setting it.

IIRC when setting up the phone it is an option that you can enable. Chances are it may be a password they use for many things and my not want to divulge it?

Unfortunately you will have to get ahold of them as only they know the password.

The only other thing I can think of is flashing the ODIN tar. Not sure that this will reset it anyways as when you enable this option there is a message saying that Reactivation lock must be disabled before sending your phone in for service.

Breakthough!!!! glitch found

I found a way to access the devices of my sm-g900v with the build OE1 with this problem. So the bug i found is not complete but, i know that someone could do something with this info. All you need is blue-tooth headset mines are the lg HBS750. First you have to call 911. turn the bluettooth on and Quickly disconnect the call... you should be on the searching for devices.. At this point you connect you headsets and connect to wifi.. and press the speak/call button on the headset. S-voice should pop-up and ask you to connect to wifi (if you didnt follow my directions) if you did, you should be able to open settings are any stock app... i tired to disable from the settings but, it keep re-checking itself. Maybe someone could find out use this access to disable the reactivation lock.:D

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeTex:
I've got some phones with a reactivation lock as well. I'll look into above. Any chance you could bring up adb? If so I can give you the adb input commands to force a hard reset via a bug, it may work and bypass reactivation lock as it is a full wipe, but no promises. Otherwise I have a theory for disabling it via a script that can be pushed via adb and executed. I need to see if I have time, cause it needs to be done

Thanks for getting me that far!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hauckk:
ive gotten close

I have an s5 on bok3 firmware right now with a samsung reactivation lock lockout without root or unlocked bootloader and no custom recovery

i first went back to bok3 firmware then used the otg usb/cable bug to access the file manager i've also gotten into play store settings phone and couple other things but also i force closed a bunch of apps and then backed into the setup wizard and got phone activating as if it was a new device but alas it failed as i had disabled and/or forced close activation agent. I haven't been able to recreate since. ps you can access lock screen by going to android device manager on the web and using the lock feature to change the lockscreen password. I also discovered samsung account is the issue app for reactivation lock as when i force closed and disabled it setting menu crashes instead of does nothing when you try to do a factory reset in setting or add a samsung account to your device.

perhaps we can install a custom version of the s5 samsung account app to our device i dont have the skills to change it but you might. Just a thought:rolleyes:

Upgrading is not irriversible. First thing you should alaywas do before any upgrade is a backup. Im talking about a dump of the original ROM to a memory card - you only need like 56MB for a full rom dump perhaps even less. Then worse case you boot into the boot loader and restore that.
