[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyclone112:
I have a Canadian Bell S3 i747m which broke and I got some random guy to fix it for me. He frustratingly ended up installing a ROGERS circuit board(or so he says) without bothering to check the fact my phone was loaded with Bell bloatware or just asking me my carrier.

I now need to unlock the SIM in order to use it properly and I just want to be sure I have the correct information and I don't end up paying for an unlock code that will not work since I didn't provide the proper carrier.

My SIM card (not sure if that matters): BELL

My board/IMEI: ROGERS (Apparently)

I wanted to determine which carrier I was tied to but I see 0 bloatware in my phone which makes me think the guy is wrong/lying and it's not actually a Rogers board. Is there another way to determine which carrier my phone is tied to?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
The carrier doesn't matter. Once unlocked, it's unlocked for every carrier (unless it's unlocked by code).

You could go check the APN to see which carrier it's from.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyclone112:
Oh really? I was looking at the gsmliberty site for unlocking and it asks for a carrier. I can't post the link since I'm a new account but here it is split:

gsmliberty(dot)net/shop/samsung-galaxy-s3-unlock-codes-p-3528.html

I then went into their Terms of Service and it specifies that if I provide an incorrect carrier and the unlock code doesn't work then I won't get a refund. Does this mean this site is BS and I should avoid it and find another?

EDIT: Oh I see you added info about checking the APN. Don't know what that is but I'll Google it. Assuming I find it should I still avoid gsmliberty or should I give them a shot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyclone112:
I went to Settings > Connections > More networks > Mobile Networks and it tells me this: Insert SIM card to access network services

EDIT: Ok I finally found the AP and CSC by dialing *#1234# and then comparing it to sammobiles firmware to find out which carrier it is tied to. Still worried about the fact I get the SIM error above but hopefully that will go away when I attempt to unlock it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Umm I though you'd have access to it w/o a sim card.

I'm not sure how else you could determine which carrier the motherboard is locked to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyclone112:
I just ended up editing my last post a minute before you posted this. I did determine the carrier and it is in fact Rogers. I was planning on just getting an unlock code through a website. You mentioned that means it will only be unlocked for them which I'm fine with but I'm just concerned about the fact I have a Bell SIM. Will that cause any problems with the unlock process or future dealings with BELL?

Actually I have a better question. Can I just put Bell's firmware on my phone instead of Rogers using Odin and then get an unlock for Bell and theoretically I'll be back to where I was?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What bootloader is on the phone? If you have the 4.3 bootloader, you'll have to buy an unlock code. If you have the 4.1.1 bootloader and you are running a stock ROM (doesn't matter about the carrier), you can use the free method to unlock it. If you have the 4.1.2 bootloader, downgrade to the Rogers 4.1.1 ROM and unlock it using the free method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyclone112:
I'm running 4.3 so I know I need an unlock code unfortunately. I have a Bell SIM card but have Rogers firmware. The site I was looking to buy an unlock code from asks for my carrier so I presume I need to use Rogers. Will that be fine or am I able to just throw Bell firmware on my phone and buy an unlock code specifying Bell as my carrier?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I am not sure of you can load the stock Bell firmware and change the phone so it is locked to Bell. If this were the case, owners could switch carriers by flashing different firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Unlocking is permanent and unlocks to every carrier. Knowing which one you're locked to only matters to get a unlock code, after that, it's free for all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyclone112:
Gotcha, so there's no point in flashing Bell firmware at all. I just need the correct one for getting an unlock code in the first place. Thanks for helping a noob out.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecoloredsky:
Hard to explain in the title with a few words, but both stock browser and dolphin are not saving in memory. Just upgraded to 11.0 CyanogenMod last night from 10.2.

Example: So if navigate to a webpage and it loads, then I hit the home button and go to my email, then come back to the browser, the webpage I was previously on is gone and the browser basically reloads and goes to my home page. My old version of CM kept the webpage in memory so I could always pick up where I left off. Same basic thing with Dolphin browser, except it remembers the last page but still has to reload it. Both browsers have default settings.

Other apps, like Google Maps and Gallery, remember where I was last time I exited the app. I can click on them and they come back up from where I left off before. This leads me to believe its related to the browsers only, which doesn't make sense to me.

One other side note... if I close an app, there is a half second refresh of my home screen as if its reloading it again and not saving it in memory. Kinda weird and maybe its related? My older version didn't have these issues. Any ideas I can try?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ejaybass:
Hi everyone,

I am writing in order to find a helping hint to rescue my Motorola Razr XT910...

I was just trying to install another ROM via BMM, wiped everything, tried to reboot to BMM again because I inserted a SD card...

Now it does not reboot anymore and does not show the BMM boot animation!

It shows the regular, red Motorola logo, and then nothing.. black..

What did I do wrong, or what can I do to revive it??? Is there any windows one click installer/tool/recovery program??

I have been using BMM for a while now and this never happened... I installed many roms but now it seems as if it is broken.

I would be so happy to get some hints. I haven't found some similar posts for this problem.

ejay
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
there isn't a script tool for the xt910 because there are too many firmwares. The motorola logo means your bootloader is there, the black screen after means there isn't a ROM for it to boot up. It is curious that BMM hijack isn't showing up though. Have you taken the sd card out and tried booting it up again?

Anyways make sure you can get into stock recovery, if so, find the correct firmware for your xt910 (it is region specific.)

reinstall it with RSD lite(make sure you have plenty of battery.) Reroot, Reinstall BMM and restore your backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ejaybass:
Thanks for your quick reply!

Right now I cannot get into ANY menu or something, I can press any button I want. After the "logo" it stays black. The phone also might not even be able to be connected to my computer. At least Microsoft Windows doesn't even show a new device when I connect it via USB, regardless if I have the correct drivers...

I dont know what to do... RSD didnt help me either. It wont find the phone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
What logo?There is no logo in recovery...

Press vol-,vol+ and power button at the same time to get into recovery,select the option AP Fastboot and then you connect it via usb.

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ejaybass:
Well, whenever you turn on your Razr, there is an initial red Motorola Logo. After that you usually touch the screen to boot into BMM (in case the green boot loader appears).

BUT... (of course I tried the VOL+ Vol- und Power button move) after rebooting it only shows the red Motorola Logo and then nothing but black.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I know there is a logo when you turn on the phone normally but you should turn it off and then turn it on with those three buttons,it must boot into recovery...

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ejaybass:
I have been trying this with these three buttons million times now. Until so far it always worked.. but now nothing happens anymore...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
How long are you holding them down.. it can take a good twenty-thirty seconds sometimes. Mine is also finicky if I don't press them all down at the exact same time, it wont let me in then either.

If your getting the boot logo it is just really hard to believe you dont have stock recovery... can the device charge? If you hook it to a computer do you get the white led?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hrishi21007:
While it is Flashing M LOGO.... just keep the VOLUME DOWN AND POWER KEY Pressed...till it Flashes and Shutsdown....and immediately let go the Buttons and Immediately Again press Both the buttons... VOL DOWN+POWER Key

when you get to the FASTBOOT mode

you can follow this video

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ejaybass:
Thanks a lot for your reply! This video gave me hope :D I will try this as soon as I can...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ejaybass:
Now I am facing an issue that's really annoying. I can get into recovery (AP Fastboot) if the phone is connected to a power source. As soon as I unplug it, the screen turns black! When I connect the phone to my computer, the LED goes white and I cannot access AP Fastboot....

When no cable is connected to the phone I cannot access any recovery mode.

What is wrong here? Even if I connect the phone to the power source only, it shows the red Motorola logo all the time. It seems as if I cannot turn it off. Is there also a trick how to really turn it off and let the phone charge??

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dancger:
Hello everybody

I've a great problem with my samsung galaxy s4 (i9505).

Today i buyed a new sdcard for my phone. I thought it would be a good idea to do a real clean up.

So i flashed the samsung stock recovery, stock kernel and the stock rom (from SAMMOBILE) . Worked perfectly.

Afterwards, i flashed the newest cwm recovery (6.0.4.7 touch). Worked again.

Copied my rom (aosb = android open source bam project) to the external sdcard.

I removed the external card and went to the mounts and storage entry.

Now the part, that hardly failed:

I wiped everything (every point under mounts), incl. /firmware and another point with /firmware (I think it was /firmware_dmm or something like this)

At least, i wiped the external sdcard. Because there was no, the recovery crashed (...) and rebooted.

Now i get this error: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

If i flash something over ODIN (stock recovery, stock rom, custom recovery or custom rom) it ends up in a "FAIL".

Log:

KIES doesnt find my device, but i already installed the newest samsung usb driver.

So i can't use the emergeny firmware "reset" of KIES.

If i start the phone normaly, the above error appears. Same, if i boot into recovery.

The only working thing is the downloading mode....

I also removed the battery for 15 minutes. But that changed nothing.

What can i do to "repair" my phone? Is it bricked?`

Thank you for reading

Agree 100%, T-Mobile does not give a crap about Knox tripped devices, they care about money. Why would they jeopardize a sale because of the counter. it just doesn't happen, and I'm sure now 20 people will chime in with their story, and I'll call bs. 4.3 was horrible in comparison, why would he want to stay on old firmware. just doesn't make sense. like hmm I really like old features, and no ROMs.. awesommee.

t-mobile really doesn't care if Knox was tripped. this is my 5 or 6 replacement phones.

Thank you, antiochasylum, jdidtht & itzsmokey! I really never had anything go wrong so I never tried to return the phone to test Samsung's KNOX. Thank you so much for setting my concerns at ease! I think it's because of that, I was always afraid to flash and update to a later OS. I've remained on 4.3 because of this misunderstanding. :eek:

However, after hearing how the battery life sucks on 4.4.2 in the T-Mobile forums, I will NOT be updating my firmware! I never had issues with 4.3 and as the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itzsmokey:
best excuse that works for me is that my phone won't charge. and tell them you have tried everything and nothing works. can't troubleshoot broken hardware, so they'll send you another one over night.

I get great battery life on 4.4.2, I get around 4%/hr with normal use. about 10%/hr if I tether to my Playstation or download torrents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tha Watcher:
Thanks, that's good to know. However, I get a day and a half with moderate to heavy use on 4.3. At this point, I don't think I'll be convinced to update my firmware because the one thing I do know about 4.4 is that I wouldn't be able to go back if I experience any issues with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itzsmokey:
oh yeah, with that type of battery life I wouldn't want to change either. did you do anything special to get that battery lif?

Hello Guys

I bought my LG V500 90 days ago. Now I am pretty tired of the stock version of the OS.

I would like to install a standard Google Play Edition ROM - no addons or anything. Basically I want to transform it into a LG V510 with the AOSP google version.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, so I am not really experienced in the LG roms.

Do you have a complete Google Play Edition ROM for the LG V500 you can recommend?

It is important that is without any extra features. I just want a basic Android OS, like the one on the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition.

Sorry if there are some mistakes in my english.
