Thanks I'll see if this works and sticks. So far it let's me delete files and hope they don't come back . Before it would let me delete them then 10 minutes later they back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DJSmoove:
It went back to write protection, it work for a few minutes the files come back after I delete them. Then files I did add would write then disappear a few minutes later. Anything else I can try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
Sounds like your SD card is no good. I had the same thing happen to me this weekend. I contacted Sandisk and mailed my card back to them yesterday for a replacement. I have only had mine since March. If you will go to their website their is a forum that discusses it and a place you can report it. Let me know if you have any problems.

Just curious what recovery were you running? I think you said you were stock rooted but no custom rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DJSmoove:
Its not just one SD card it's 3 sd cards that are getting write protected when I put them into my phone. My Sandisk ones I'll contact them about that and let them know the situation I'm having. For my Samsung one I don't know what to on that one. I'm running Philz Recovery on my phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Red_Devil6:
So here's the story, i bought a HTC one M8 AT&T version on CL. I had the phone for a few days during which time i have unlocked bootloader, rooted and S-Off the phone. Well the douche i bought the phone from must have reported it lost or stolen because its blacklisted. I've searched google and numerous forums regarding a solution so i can continue to use this phone on either the same carrier or another. IIf ANYONE has a legal solution that i can go with, PLEASE inbox me so im not stuck with a very expensive brick.

MOD EDIT
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
Well..do you have any sort of proof that you purchased this item from said person? If so, it might be wise to bring law enforcement into it. I am not an expert on this, nor do I know law, but if you provide them with proof of the sale, and explain to them what happened, they might..MIGHT, go after the person who screwed you over, and maybe you can recover your money. If you have no "receipt", then I dont know what to tell ya, except for you might have just learned a very expensive lesson. There is also a strong possibility that the phone itself was stolen, and sold to you by said scumbag.

Another reason I do not deal with Craigslist!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] twiggums:
It was likely stolen. Try working with the seller to get it resolved, but if he was the thief you might be SOL.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JoSway:
You gotta call AT&T Customer Service from another phone, you'll get the automated service...

enter your phone number, they'll ask if your calling about your suspended line, or something of that sort... dial whatever for yes, then they'll ask if you want to re activate the sim for the original device, again dial whatever for yes, then they'll redirect you to an operator, when the phone starts ringing just hang up... then turn airplane mode on then off, and it should start working again.

Happened to me with the M7, it was reported stolen... so i had to go through this procedure 2,3,4 times a day, sometimes it would stay connected for weeks if i got lucky. But yea, that was my solution, hopefully it works for your M8, and if it does then it probably works for any phone thats blacklisted on AT&T... i wonder if anyone knows about this:confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] CraigP17:
just joined. claims they bought the phone. asking about how to bypass the IMEI being reported stolen...

im going out on a limb here and assuming this guy is the thief and is hoping to still use the phone after the real owner reported it stolen.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rquinn19:
That's not a fair assumption. I alot of people lurk until they need to ask a question.

edit: you post on an average of 7 posts a year since you joined so I'd think you'd understand
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
100% agree. Hell ive been around here since 2008 and I have a low post count lol.. Guess im not one of those who chime in..just to chime in lol. I ask questions...answer when I can (which is rarely), and lurk quite abit lol. Regardless, I wont buy anything off Craigslist, heard too many bad stories from people I know in person...Either use Ebay or Swappa. The only thing is, the IMEI could be clean when the initial check is made, then reported stolen after (does swappa check on a regular basis or is it one and done...hrm)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rquinn19:
I don't think there's any sure fire safe way anymore. With lost/stolen and now the next program.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] eortizr:
Your only options is to buy a new MB and replace it on your current device.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
Before i buy any phone on CL, i check swappa to make sure the IMEI isnt blacklisted prior. Getting a name & receipt doesnt do you any good, as they can just fake everything.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rquinn19:
What good does checking Swappa do if it's reported stolen once you complete the transaction?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Android The Greek:
This^
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Skizzy034:
I don't know how well this would work out for me if I was in that situation, but I was burned on CL before. Lost $900. So now, if I'm not totally sure about the seller, I'll ask for a driver's license picture along with a signature on a written receipt.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Its unfortunate the OP got scammed. But just my opinion, the risks of buying something like a smartphone from Craigslist outweigh the benefits. Not just risk of a blacklist, but damage to the item, or just a hardware failure that is no fault of the seller. I prefer to buy from a source with a reliable means of return and refund/exchange, even if its cost a bit more. And if its more than a "bit" of a difference, as they say: if a deal seems too good to be true, its because it is.

MOD EDIT
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gokun:
Yeah, I stick with ebay/paypal for buying used phones for that very reason...if something is wrong I have a means by which to get my money back. And even there you still have to exercise some due diligence.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Neo:
Thread Closed.

While there is nothing wrong with asking for a legal and legitimate means to getting a phone to work again who's IMEI has been blacklisted, it opens up discussion for alternate illegal means to getting the device to work.

My suggestion to you is to contact the Service Provided that has blacklisted the device's IMEI and notify them that you'd purchased it on-line, and try to convince them to allow you to use it on their network under your currently paying service.

The chances that they will do this for you however are very slim.

Best of luck,

Neo

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Hopefully someone can help. So I picked up a Fire HD for a good price and I want to put KitKat on it. Every tutorial or example I find talks about the software version being 7.x.x and mine has 11-something (see pic).

Can I still blow away the Amazon software and get Android on here? Will the walk-through showing 7.x.x work? Am I even in the right section?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
the 11.x.x kindles (2nd gen hd's) have the exploit patched and can't have custom recovery installed on it to allow for custom boot images to be flashed, so the only rom you can flash is kindle water beta, and its not kitkat. Unless someone find a bootloader exploit then you are not going to be able to flash any roms on it outside the one mentioned.

I am trying to unlock my galaxy mega I527 AT&T verison software 4.2.2

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] BoiBundy:
By unlock you mean: Unlock it from AT&T, to use it with other carriers ie. T-mobile, simple mobile or to go overseas and use a different simcard?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] elaraj:
what's the different ? unlock sim will work with tmobile sim and overseas also . isn't that true ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] BoiBundy:
Technically no, they are not the same. However if you did find a way to Sim unlock, it would work overseas too.

I'm guessing you're looking for a free way to Sim unlock your phone. And as far as I know there is none. However people have had success with Chainfire's

RegionUnlock. It may or may not work I can't say, I don't even have a usable sim card to test it for you. But you have to be ROOTED for it to work. I hope I helped.:good::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] elaraj:
so if I unlock the phone with RegionUnlock it will work with tmobile but it will not work overseas ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] BoiBundy:
Nah, IF RegionUnlock DOES unlock your phone, it will work with t-mobile and overseas, because its unlocking All Regions, even local sim cards will work!:fingers-crossed:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mad_M:
Hi all,

I'm quite new at ROM upgrading, so I apologize if any of my questions will be annoying to anyone.

I am about to buy O2 XDA Trion or T-Mobile MDA Vario II in Germany, and I plan to flash English ROM on it.

So here are the questions:

1. Will any type of ROM work on this brands of device ?

(Can I flash HTC TyTn English ROM on them. If not which ROM's can I use? Which one do you recommend?)

2. Will flashing new ROM unlock SIM ?

(If not, can you recommend me some good tool or method)

3. After upgrade to English ROM, will everything be in English ?

(Including all OS+Office apps. and keyboard layout, or do I have to set registry keys manually after?)

4. Which is the last known stable English HTC TyTn ROM (or O2 English) ?

(that it's enabling HSDPA also)

5. How to extract original ROM from device ?

(itsutils tool, or is there some better solution ?)

6. What is the benefit of Extended ROM ?

(does it exist Extended HTC TyTn ROM ?)

Already searched on forum, but still couldn't find answers to some of my questions. Anyway, I want to be sure before I do it.

I would appreciate any answers and/or advice.

Thank you all in advance.

Re: O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC T

Any of the ROMs listed here will be fine:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

No, it will not, but most probably your device will be Sim Unlocked.

If it is not, there is no free way of unlocking it *yet*, you can SIM Unlock it using imei-check service for 20pounds. See more info here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock

Everything will be in english, but in German O2 trion you have an AZERTY keyboard (mapped to QWERTY after upgrade). If you want it to be AZERTY again you can change the layout using the keyboard registry hack found here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry

Again, see this page for the latest roms:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

Most of the roms come with HSDPA enabled, and if it is not, you can enable it using SetHSDPA /enable or fit4cat hermes tweaker, see more info here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Utils

Info is here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom

You can dump the original rom, but you cannot flash it back... most probably this will be quite unuseful for you.

Read this:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners

And this:

Re: O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC T

Thanks Pof for quick answers !

Correct me if I understood it wrong, any ROM (HTC, O2 English, I-mate etc.) should work with both brands (O2, T-Mobile) ?

How can I then fall back to original ROM (if I would need it for warranty reasons) ?

Is the Extended ROM must, or can I live without it also ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Re: O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC T

That's right, you will get a Vendor ID when upgrading, you just need to run the upgrade utility twice without disconnecting your device. This is explained in the wiki too.

As O2 or T-Mobile has not released any rom upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original rom. There is no known way of doing it because the typical commands to backup/restore to SD card have been removed in the Hermes bootloader. So upgrade at your own risk or don't upgrade if you pretend to return the unit ;)

You can live without it, but generally it fixes some things (you'll not be able to do video calls without it for example). All the cabs are not needed and there are some customizations, skins, etc which are really annoying for me. What I generally do is "reset" before the ExtROM installs on first boot after hard-reset, and then manually install the cabs I want: some taken from TyTN rom, some others taken from i-mate rom and some others taken from Dopod rom.

Hope that helps!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fgro:
Upgrading at your own risk ... that may be risky ... LOL

But i did it and its worth,...... still waiting for the new O2 ROM ...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mad_M:
Can I flash HTC ROM and then add O2 Extended ROM ?

Will I then have all O2 specific stuff, and O2 skins?

Did anybody already tried this combination ?

Thanks in advance...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes

Yes, operator customizations are always in ExtROM.

i see it at qtek.ch too
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Jorshua:
Now O2 has released a new Rom, so if I change to i-Mate I can always change to O2-Rom

Is That correct?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
The O2 released ROM is in german, if the original language of your O2 branded Hermes was german, then the above statement is correct and you can flash any rom without worries as you can always revert back to o2 in case you have to return your unit :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Jorshua:
Thank you

I have bought my Trion yesterday but it's in german, and I want in english so I found this forum which is great.

Thank you gays for the good work.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link6155:
Hi everyone,

Recently, I've installed the leaked kitkat rom on my N8013. Everything seems to work fine, except for USB Devices. When I plug in my USB mouse, it says it's connected and then disconnected. Even if I pull out the USB, the message will continue to go on and off until I reboot my device. Another USB device that is having issue is my USB game controller. It doesn't display the message, however sometimes in game the button will get "stuck" (where my device thinks i'm still holding down the button) even though I have released the button. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Official version usually has less bugs...just give it a try if you want to.

But remember, always read carefully before flashing as it is for N8000 & yours is N8013

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:

I'm not responsible if you don't read everything.

Ask if you have any questions about it in this forum, not to me as I never flash KitKat before.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgreat4:
I flashed it did a full wipe before flashing and it runs like a beast. Way better than the 4.1.2 rom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link6155:
I just flashed the official KitKat build and the problem unfortunately still persists. Perhaps it's caused by the fact that the update was intended for the N8000 and not the N8013. Could anyone try to plug in a mouse and see if they also get this problem?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgreat4:
Yes. I can confirm the mouse problem. It keeps saying connected, disconnected. Guess those bugs will be sorted one we get an official n8013 build, if we get one.

Or you can ask the devs for a fix.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link6155:
I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this problem. Could someone with an N8000 test to see if they have this problem? If so, that means it's a problem across all devices and not just the N8013.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furkey:
It's a matter of supplying enough power. If your kernel is not meant to support this kind of power than it won't work at all. Devices that needs external power (2.5 inch hard-drives, mouse connectors etc.) will work if you flash another kernel like boeffla. I had the same issue as you and I installed boeffla kernel. It works like a charm :)
