[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolspyguy:
i really want to get pacman rom for my samsung galaxy s2 sgh i757 (bell version) but i can't find the file of the rom to download... the closest version i could find is for the i777. is it okay if i flash that onto my phone? or will it magically turn my phone to a paperweight. and also my samsung can never get into recovery mode. EVER. even if i use a app to reboot into recovery. and i'm pretty sure i did everything correct except for the fact that i think i need to update but rom manager says my device isn't supported. thanks for helping out a newb! help much appreciated.

If you flash a ROM meant for another device, you will brick your device. Never do this. Ever.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tifford:
I just got this Verizon Note 2 to play with, and it was still on 4.1.2. So, even before transferring my SIM card, I unlocked it with CASUAL No You. Installed TWRP, wiped internal data, flashed Beanstown 4.3 stock ROM, then used Odin 3.07 to flash mj9 firmware. After all that, I transferred my Sim to this phone.

SO, it activated itself when I put the my SIM card in, but will not pick up 4g. ever. I have no idea why it won't ever pick up 4g. I didn't check to see if 4g worked before I unlocked it, so it may be a hardware issue, but I wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem...

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] GLOC:
Evening All,

I took delivery of an Orange M600 yesterday and very nice it is too. I wanted something to replace my V3 and Ipaq 2210 but have so far been a little frustrated.

Firstly the speed is not what I was expecting, it is way slower than my 2210 after I have conducted the first sync (AS 4.1) with my laptop.

My biggest issue is that after I sync the M600 for the first time, and try to access the 'Phone Settings' menu under Settings, System. I click on the icon and the 'OK' symbol top right jitters as if a window is opening and then nearly a minute later the 'Phone Settings' window comes up, with the drop downs blank (before AS they are there and I can configure fine). Then it appears as if the phone is frozen in this pane as I have to click the 'OK' button several times to return to the Settings screen.

In addition, the M600 was fast enough for me before I conducted my first sync, after that it slows down very noticeably - too much in fact. There is currently no third party software loaded, I have done 4 hard rests now and thought 'My Docs' or third party software might be causing the issue. I now have a clean machine but as soon as I have connected to AS, let it runs its business, and then disconnect from the USB cable, the speed is terrible.

I have AS 4.1.0 (Build 4841), Windows Build is 5.1.195 (14847.2.0.0) and have 44MB of free memory.

Any ideas what might be the matter, I am not holding out too much for a tech support call from Orange.

Thanks

Im new to owning an android, and thought it would be a good idea to root and flash a custom rom onto my Sprint Galaxy s4 sph-l720, Not a good idea. I found some good tutorials to flash the stock rom back onto the phone. I've tried every guide and tutorial there is, but everytime, odin fails. I don't know what i am doing wrong, i may be trying to load the wrong firmware, i am not sure. I was on 4.4.2 Kitkat when i flashed my first custom rom onto my phone, my current custom rom is on 4.4.2, This is very frustrating and at the moment, i do not have a working phone until i can get Odin to stop failing. Thanks for reading. Quick replies would be appreciated! :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngbmameman:
I have 2 nexus 5's. My first one stopped working(dropped it, no internet connection anymore) so I got the second one. I backed everything up from my old nexus 5. I restored it to my new nexus 5. Without thinking I flashed over the new nexus 5's EFS. Now my IMEI is 0 and I cant connect to the network. (WiFi works just fine).

I have tried resetting my phone to stock but that doesn't do anything.

Is there anything I can do? I have been searching for IMEI changers for the past couple of hours but everything I have tried doesn't seem to work.

Edit: I know changing IMEI's is illegal, but is there something I can do besides that?

Just my opinion.....but for me, if I decide to "tinker" with my devices and I screw them up.....I'll go to a backup phone or buy a new one. Or used. I'd never try to sneak a freebie cause I did something silly and screwed up my device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just something I've read from a past post. Idk how to make it read so it makes more sense... Google doesn't care that you root and ROM the phone, so why wouldn't they RMA it? If it has a 1 year warranty?

Also, I take that post like back, lol. Still getting used to Hover.

Yes I understand that but you are giving him/her information that is not helpful. I am trying to tell you the facts. Not trying to be mean. I apologize if I sounded aggressively.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No need for an apology! You made a valid point.

I just thought about it, its a risk of having the device. RMA it out would be wrong, but I'm sure its not something Google/LG can't fix themselves. Even if they use it for parts and/or refurbished it. I was questioning if Google would consider something like that to be replaceable. I have a friend who went to Japan this past week, connected his iPhone to the public WiFi, and somehow, someone hacked in his phone and wiped his IMEI clean to 000..., and made the phone say "Manufactured by Microsoft". Its covered by Apple. Technically, he was stupid to connect to a public WiFi in a hacker friendly area, but still...

Don't let the Helio Ocean avatar fool you, I know my stuff. Lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Correct. RMA is out of the question. LG or a service Centre can fix it for not much expense so OPen should get a quote

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngbmameman:
What do you mean motivate? It was still in the 15 day return period from google so I just told google support I'd like to return it. It can be repaired but it is illegal to change the imei. Google and LG could do it, though I don't know if Google would RMA that. LG seems like a good bet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gefilus:

Also the time at the mount point In Removable/microsd, the dateis the same as my last boot time. Got the same issue with another sd card, and also on my other tf701.

2. I just waking up my tablet from sleep, got no widget loaded as they are third party, and the safe mode indicator in the bottom left. I've took a look at my uptime, magically, 2 weeks ago.

XDA does not permit "Best rom" or "best anything else" threads. All these do is end up devolving into an argument between various rom supporters who all think theirs is the best.

On XDA you are expected to do your own research. Read the ROM threads, learn which have the features you like. Try a few out and determine which is the best for YOU. ONly YOU can decide what the best rom is FOR YOU.

There is not definitive BEST answer. The perfect ROM for you might be the worst possible option for me. It all depends on use and personal preferences.
