[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AgentTran:
Hey XDAdevelopers forum!

I need your guy's assisstance in trying to unlock my Note 2, Canadian Rogers. (I317M.)

Looking around the forums and doing searching, I've managed to download the ROGERS MODEM I317MVLALJ2, and looking at the thread for everything Note 2 AT&T I've also seen the Rogers Stock 4.1.1 firmware.

I'm trying to unlock my phone right now, but I don't want to call rogers and pay their absurd $50 fee or use a website like cellunlocker.net for something I can do for free.

So this is what I need your help with. I have the original 4.1.1 rogers firmware downloaded, and I have the modem, but I don't know what to do with them.

I'm rooted with a 4.4.2 ROM right now, and from looking around some have said that I can just use the modem and unlock my phone that way, without having to change my current ROM. This would be the ideal situation but I don't think it's possible for me to do.

The other option is to use the Rogers I317 firmware, which should work on my I317M (don't know the difference), and flash it on CWRP recovery and then use this method to unlock.

The original rogers firmware includes a "SS_DL" file and a "KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5" file.

The modem includes a META-INF folder, and a modem.bin file. I have no idea on what to do with these files to be able to unlock my phone, and I need your guy's help.

Thanks!!

So I flashed a recovery from terminal emulator, pressed reboot to recovery, the phone showed blank black screen, shut down and it kept on doing this for a loooong time.

After that I tried download mode, but it's stuck at setup connection. Any things I can still try before JIG/JTAG?

EDIT: The panic was bigger than the problem. Pulled out SIM, SD card, tried to boot it, it displayed a logo showing that there is a problem with the connection to the PC, then I booted to download mode and flashed a 4 package ROM, as it can override the boot thingy. So it's all good now.

hi... im a techie person just getting into tablets last 12mths......... and.......

this is driving me insane... i have my 'on the go' + 'card reader' + 'sd card connected'. everything is visable when i use explorer.

google+ will back up all photos straight to the net... fine.

why cant i also copy directly from sd card to internal micro sd card using an explorer program.....

is this a limitation of the system (google)? or am i an idiot and missing something?

i checked my explorers privileges... it has access to edit and modify what it wants.....

anyone solved this?

will rooting fix it?

sincerely,

a frustrated human being.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] BuToNz:
Its a limitation of KitKat enforced by Google. Rooting and applying the SD fix will sort you out (that's what I did).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedancingbear:
I just performed a full wipe of my HTC One M7 and flashed a new rom. Once it was done I downloaded Titanium backup from the Play Store and restored all my backed up data. Note that I didn't back up my SMS messages with Titanium, just my SMS app, Textra.

Once it was done I opened up Textra and all my messages were sitting there just as they were before the wipe.

I'm pretty sure that Google doesn't backup things like SMS messages, so where did they come from?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
Text messages will be stored as data for the Textra app so when restoring Textra it will likely restore messages too.

Hi

i am thinking about buying an XDA trion device in Germany - so far O2 Germany has disabled the HSDPA feature. The company wants to enable it through a later firmware upgrade once their service is available.

Now, since i am not using the O2 network and want to use the device on the vodafone network i would like to know if i can enable HSDPA on my own. what do i have to do? is it possible without major risk? can i keep my german language settings?

Please let me know,

Hello, I have a question involving amazon appstore apps. So if i have my own account, yet my dad bought this app for $20 dollars, there's no way i could use my dad's apk on my phone without signing out of my own account in amazon appstore, right? it always says "you do not own this app"

I think i have my my decision on getting the Iconbit Callisto 100 smart watch.

(Although the iconbit callisto 300 has nicer features its still nowhere to be found to buy. )

I also looked at the i'm watch but its price is absurd. although it looks cool.

The iconbit callisto 100 has nice features and they say it can last 3+ days!

now for my question.

if i pair it with my note 3 via bluetooth, is it possible to receive notifications on the watch? keep in my that these both are considered full fledged android devices.

I was thinking about tablet notifier... but is there anything better / else?
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
That's just a Chinese OEM watch. Same watch as the Omate. Available for relatively cheap on Alibaba.

And yeah, you'd have to use an app like Tablet Notifier. Or this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2740033
[Other SmartWatches] cylent:
color me confused.

the callisto is russian not chinese.

also, the callisto according to videos i found on youtube lasts between 3-4 days with actual use.

the omate isnt even available. pre-ordering the thing right now before the 30th and then waiting 45+ days!

furthermore. i cant even find the callisto on alibaba or aliexpress. i ordered mine from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Iconbit-Calli...8&qid=1401001938&sr=8-1&keywords=callisto+100

i hope i didnt make a mistake ordering this thing ... pls correct me if iam wrong.
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
The Callisto is a rebranded Chinese watch.

All are essentially the same watch with a slightly different packaging. Iconbit even uses the last link's advertising material to advertise their watch. The Omate watch is the same thing, just a rebranded Chinese watch. They all claim between 3-4 days of use (75 hours).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatBoyNate:
hi every one

firstly id like to say im really dissapointed with the support ive recieved thus far regarding this knox issue.

having searched every rooting for s4 thread i found nothing, i couldnt even post in chainfires own thread to ask for assistance.

so maybe a mod or an advance samsung user can help me by refering me to a knox rooting thread or guide on how i can make this phone worth the money i paid.

i got hold of the s4 gt-i9505 cheap £100 locked to o2 uk, but its riddled with this knox security stuff thats blocking odin from flashing auto root.

and i couldnt even use the *#0011# sim unlock method because of this ridiculous stuff samsung is using now. (definately my last ever samsun device)

sorry for ranting so much but without root this phones going in the bin.

thanks to all and everyone who helps me with this issue

note: i dont need warranty on this phonebe cause its just going to be used for developing pokemon games similar to rpg maker fan games with content updates

Wow

wow dude not to be rude but you are clearly a NOOB i dont care about sim lock or region lock, do you know what knox security is on samsung devices? if not then i suggest you learn, because it is stopping every one from rooting and flashing custom roms and recovery.

i have a suspicion you don't speak english well, and are misinterpreting what im saying.

let me rephrase my question...

how do i root my samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505 with samsungs android stock rom ver. 4.4.2 with knox security bootloader

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kendoori:
I have a US version of the M7 that is s-off and rooted, but otherwise stock and running 4.4.2 w/Sense 5.5. I would like to install the Sense 6. I had been running TWRP and reverted to stock recovery (took several attempts as I had several version). I was able to download the OTA, and tried having the system just do the update, but it failed. After failing, the update file disappeared from the file system. I redownload the file, and moved it into the root of the SD, rebooted into stock recovery and attempted the update manually by selecting "apply from phone storage." The process began, but got stuck on:

Warning: No file_contextsVerifying current system...
"/system/app/CIMEXT9.apk" has unexpected contents.
Installation aborted.

I've attached a snapshot of the error on the screen.

It appears that I may have inadvertently updated a system file somewhere along the way. What's the path of least resistance in getting passed this? I would prefer to not have to wipe.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Follow these steps for manual OTA update, I found them on the net sometime ago but remember the author.

1.	Make sure you have the stock (original) recovery flashed on your device (You can extract the stock recovery out of the OTA zip file)

2.	Make sure you’re running a completely unmodified operating system. Additional files like Superuser.apk or su binary are allowed, you just can’t have any system files changed or removed (due to the MD5 check)

3.	Make sure you have a reasonable amount of battery charge remaining

4.	Make sure the OTA update you’re about to install matches the software version on your device (The file name will have both the old version number and the new version number. If the old doesn't match then the OTA will fail.)

5.	Copy the OTA update.zip package to your device (internal storage preferred)

6.	Turn OFF the device (make sure fastboot mode is disabled in settings)

7.	Hold your volume down and power keys until the bootloader starts up

8.	Using the volume keys, navigate down to RECOVERY and press power

9.	You are now in stock recovery mode. You should see nothing more than a (sometimes spinning) Android with the red exclamation mark above it (an empty black screen is also possible). Wait for a few seconds

10.	First hold volume up, then (with volume up held down) press power button to enter the main recovery menu. This keys combination may vary from device to device. Try different keys combination if the above one doesn’t work (might be all three keys altogether too) Tip: Press VOLUME UP and DOWN, then press POWER, release POWER when keys start to blink.

11.	Navigate down to “apply from phone storage” text and press power to confirm

12.	Navigate to the location where you copied the OTA update.zip package and press power to confirm

13.	Wait (sometimes you might need to follow further instructions on the screen) until the update process is finished

14.	Once system is booted you should see a confirmation about the successfully flashed update.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kendoori:
Thanks for this, but I was pretty sure that I'd followed this in doing the update. It's possible that the recovery I was using was not the stock one, but the OTA.zip extraction is a good idea and I will try that.

It seems clear that some of my system files may have changed, but it's not clear to me how to change them back to get past this problem.

For example, "/system/app/CIMEXT9.apk" has unexpected contents." is clearly telling me that the CIMEXT9.apk has been modified, but what would I do to replace it with an unmodified version. I have googled that file with no clear answer.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
It looks like you will need a nandroid of the stock rom, if you didn't make one prior to rooting and installing a custom recovery it might be difficult to find. If you can find one, you can pull the rom out of it and flash it. Failing that you will have to go the wipe route. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsv591:
This is going to be hard to explain but here I go.

I'm using a kitkat TW rom, by default, when you lock it and unlock it you get the clock and message original from galaxy and you can just swipe anywhere to unlock it.

If you are playing music, by default, it doesn't show the clock and message, instead it scrolls to the right and shows you the music controls.

So, we could say that it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 4.

The problem is that in my phone it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 2, which doesn't contain any widget. Hence, I have to swipe to the right twice to get the music controls.

Is there any way to edit the default "lock screen" that it shows when the phone is playing or not playing music?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
put a widget on the screen 2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsv591:
As logical as your suggestion seems, the music controls widget cannot me moved from screen nor added in a new one.

The idea is to get those controls when I unlock the device, not another widget
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
ok, if your lock screen have an empty pages, try to remove them

just keep the home & music lock screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phzi:
I have a T889V that no longer boots. No recovery, no samsung logo, etc. Just the white/grey pattern when you turn it on. Booting to download mode does work, however. And the product name is intact. I presume bootloader is on 4.3, since KNOX is mentioned.

ODIN flashing without a PIT file/re-partitioning says:

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/005>

<ID:0/005> There is no PIT partition.

ODIN flashing with a PIT file hangs forever at

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

I have read a lot about eMMC problems and Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS), but the majority of answered cases are for people with no product name (motherboard brick/not repairable via software). Is there a solution for repairing a case where product name is still present?

Does the blank RP SWREV point to something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Do you know anything about what might have been done or what might have happened in order for the phone to stop booting?

There's neither KNOX (as expected) nor RP SWREV line on the 4.1.2 bootloader.
