[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puthsardarade:
Hi,

I purchased a MT6575 S4 Clone from abroad.

I noticed that with supplied IMEI number restricted access changed message would appear and there would be no connection to my UK mobile network.

Afters pending numerous hours researching and failed attempts to change to change from GSM to WCDMA only - even using apps such as mobileuncle etc.

I changed the IMEI number to another S4 clone I purchased and this appeared to have temporarily resolved the problem.

It connected to my UK mobile network and the phones voice calls etc worked.

However 24 hours later I noticed that every 3 minutes or so it would revert back to restricted access changed message and no network and then back again to the mobile network.

I don't want to have to keep entering new IMEI numbers every 24 hours or so for the mobile to work.

Although I noticed the other S4 clone appears to do something with auto generates new IMEI numbers by itself.

Can someone help me resolve this with a permanent fix please?

I would be willing to install a new firmware etc if basic instructions are provided which include backing up?

Ideally keeping the workable S4 theme and features.

I did briefly try MTKdroidTools and backing up did not appear to work on there.

Hardware : MT6575 (SAMSUNG is Fake!)

Model : Galaxy-S4

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noam_el:
I've been using the HTC Desire HD for a long time, and I was wondering if things I've learnt with that phone are still relevant.

With the DHD, if the phone was S-ON (but with an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery), whenever flashing a new ROM it was necessary to extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it manually by using: fastboot flash boot boot.img.

That was because a custom recovery couldn't flash a custom kernel while the device was S-ON.

Is that also the case with an M8 device that stays S-ON?

Or is a custom recovery now able to write any custom kernel regardless of being S-ON/S-OFF?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Indeed

s-on = Flash kernel via fastboot

s-off = kernel is flashed via rom/recovery

quick question..if what you say is true..if s on flash kernal in fastboot..if s off just flash normally threw recovery...why in captins thread with his GPE rom..says s off users must flash boot.img in fastboot?...i was about to try his rom ,before i got to that part..i am s off and ive never had to flash a boot.img threw fastboot before flashing the rom....next question..do i need to unpack the rom zip ,extract the boot.img flash it in fastboot..then repack the zip and flash again in recovery?ive never had to do this..i thought i would see a boot.img zip as a seperate download wouldve been lot easier...ive never unpacked a zip to extract a boot.img before...so i had to back out for now..can someone plz give me step by step directions how to flash captins GPE rom..really appreciate it..and i know im in the correct section to ask such a newbie question..thanks in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gads1:
is this still true with modern Marshmallow/Nougat ROMs (and their associated firmware updates)? the device is unlocked and S-ON?

example: I just flashed ViperROM v6.1 on Tmobile M8 with v6.2 firmware and separate flash of boot.img NOT required.

In fact, I validated theory by doing the traditional procedure and result as phone that did not boot.

traditional procedure: flash ROM via TWRP and reboot direct into bootloader and fastboot. then finalize by manual flash of boot.img via fastboot. boot.img pulled from root directory of ROM zip.

any insight would be appreciated. -GA
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No need to flash boot.img separately using fastboot (with s-on).

But it shouldn't hurt anything, either. It's just a redundant step, as you are just flashing the same boot.img that TWRP is already installing.

Try it again, without flashing boot.img separately. But I have a feeling something else is causing no boot. Make sure you are using current TWRP (version 3.1) with default TWRP wipe (cache, dalvik and data), or try another ROM.

Hi I accidentally deleted my GT-s5300 backup for CWM I need that some would create it to me. I don't need your data or anything if you like you can format data and then do the backup (before do a backup of your data) and then send it to me somehow (we will figure that out), but if you don't know what I'm talking about here and if you have gt-s5300 don't be like "I don't know I'm coming home" I'll teacht you how to do it :)

Just download a ROM for your device. Boot it into recovery, then adb push the zom.zip to your phone. Wipe the data and flash ROM.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sts_missile:
Afternoon Folks,

I guess we all want our ideals and dreams fulfilled.. so my aspirations are small really... ;)

My TyTN pleasure would be boundless if I could get some bluetooth headphones/handsfree with an FM radio built in that either had, or I could attach some decent sony earbud ear phones (gotta blank out the incessant crap-chat on the train to work in the mornings :D ) rather than the pad ones that just fall out every other step..

So I'm thinking my only (currently available) option would be to get a Nokia HS-12W headset and pay a grown up to change the earphones over...

My questions are...

1. Anyone tried a HS-12W with a TyTN?

2. Anyone know of a person/company in the UK who would do the electronics sorcery?

3. Anyone think of a better way to achieve my modest dreams?

Thanks,

Andy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Nicky:
I have some Nokia HS-12W bluetooth headphones and to be honest I am disappointed with the results which I suspect has more to do with the phone than the headset.

I find that if I am more than about a metre away from the phone or the phone's memory is in anyway dealing with any other task, that I get constant skipping. I have come to the conclusion that this is because the phone memory can't keep up with the streaming but that is just a guess.

Also, I have found that the radio reception is a bit poor so quite often I get a lot of static noise, even on the strong stations. Sometimes it's okay though.

It is possible that either my headset or my phone are in some way faulty because I have read other peoples posts regarding the HS-12W and they have had some good results. Perhaps I am just unlucky :(

I have resorted to going back to using the standard headphones and using streaming radio instead (I am on T-Mobile so doesn't cost silly amounts of money for the data use).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sts_missile:
Thanks for your reply Nicky... :)

I'll have a search myself for feedback on the HS-12W... I tried earlier and couldn't find anything directly tried with a TyTN but I'm crap at searching.. :confused:

The closest "off the shelf" option seems to be one of itech's old PowBox's... LINK HERE it fulfills everything I want apart from it's not stereo bluetooth... it's mono... but at the moment I'm kinda thinking that may be a better option than trying to find someone to change the earphones on the Nokia, and then it perhaps not work afterwards... :mad:

From what others have written here the itech prodcuts in general seem to work ok with the TyTN so maybe an older itech product will work seamlessly! Yeah right! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Sleuth255:
Yep... my one beef with the HS-12W is the range (2-3 meters or so). I think its fidelity when in range is awsome though and it plays skip free too.

I've never tried the FM radio on it to be honest...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sts_missile:
Thanks Sleuth ;)

Do all the buttons on the Nokia work with the TyTN?

I was put off the itech R35 when a few people on here said some of the buttons aren't compatible...

Thanks,

Andy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Nicky:
Just out of interest, does anyone know what the difference is between the Itech S35, S38 and R35.

I was thinking of trying one of these to see if the range/skipping was any better than the HS-12W but also, I have some fontopia headphones which I would quite like to use and this would be quite a good solution for that too.

I have looked on the Itech website but am still struggling to see any comparitive difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Sleuth255:
@sts_missle: From an AVRCP standpoint, all the buttons work just fine with WMP. I can skip tracks, pause and control the volume without issues.

There's no AVRCP support at all for TCPMP/CorePlayer 1.0 yet however. This is a problem with those apps, not the HS-12W though. I believe CorePlayer AVRCP support is in the very near future though since it seems that the Technology Preview had it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sts_missile:
Thanks again Sleuth. ;)

I've just found out the itech PowBox can't stream audio from a device, only from itself, (256mb memory or the radio) and it's a big ol' thing too, so the Nokia it is then..

Now I've just got to find someone who'll swap the earphones over for me... :confused:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
Hi, I followed the guide to install CWM and it seemed to go fine, but when I power on the phone and tap the vol-down key nothing happens, I do get the vibrations as I'm doing it though. Is CWM really necessary to install a custom rom? Cos I might just skip it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karthikys1:
You can't flash a custom rom without cwm recovery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
O lol, I guess I need to solve this then. I thought I just used FlashTool to flash the rom and viola, rom is on.

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be able to try to figure out why CWM isn't working? Any way to see if CWM is actually on my phone? (Maybe it's just not there, rather then not working).

Edit: Rom Manager seems to think I have CWM installed, also I did a Nandroid Backup which seemed to be configured to use CWM so I don't know if it's there or not, or working or not :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Which guide did you follow? And how did you make a Nandroid Backup?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
I followed this guide.

I downloaded Nandroid Backup Root, it created the backup without rebooting the phone, so it never needed to boot into CWM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
That's what I thought. The fact that it can create a backup doesn't mean it has a recovery installed, it doesn't use a recovery to create it. If the LED is lighting up at boot, and it is vibrating, and it doesn't get back in, I don't know what the problem would be. I'd try reinstalling CWM, and FYI, you should use V8; V9 has issues.

At the very least, if it really is installed, you should have a "recovery.tar" and "chargemon" file in /system/bin/.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
I don't have those files so CWM is not installed. I can't find v8 of CWM for Xperia T but I found this file "CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip", is that it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
It clearly says "Xperia T" in the name of that file... yes, that's it. Now I'm wondering what you installed, if you didn't install that one, or V9.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
V8 works perfectly, it's installed fine.

I am going to follow this guide to install cyanogenmod, do I need to obtain a bootloader unlock code? Or should I just skip right to installing the ROM?

Edit: Oops forgot the link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mint
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
First of all, yes, you need an unlocked bootloader. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked bootloader. Secondly, I've never tried that tutorial (I have a TX), but I'm assuming it should work fine, but, personally I'd either go with FXP, or one of the OMNI builds here in XDA, since, as far as I know, developers here have more fixes than what I've seen on FXP and/or CM.

Also, there are a easier ways to flash your ROM, since you already have a custom ROM. I don't think it's necessary to have to fastboot the kernel first.

Edit: The Carbon ROM I'm on also has a T version. The reason I'm on this ROM (and previously OMNI) was because FXP/CM roms have/had a battery drain that was never fixed, something that was fixed here on XDA.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
There's a problem :( My bootloader is not unlockable... does this mean I've been wasting my time?

Edit: There is this guide, it makes no mention of unlocking the bootloader so it might work?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
No, that tutorial won't work. Never follow a guide for flashing ROMs that wasn't meant for your phone. Your phone didn't even exist yet when that guide was written.

If you can't unlock your bootloader then there is no way you'll ever be able to flash a custom ROM, because, like I mentioned earlier, custom ROMs have custom kernels, and custom kernels need an unlocked bootloader.

I wouldn't consider it a waste, it's always useful to have a recovery installed; with it you can at the very least backup and restore, flash deodexed/zipaligned stock ROMs, such as this one, flash files, and even have access to ADB if your phone doesn't boot up, which can save you from having to wipe everything, etc., so not a complete waste of time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Astralogic:
Ok, well, I learned a bit in the process, and I still have an Xperia SP bootloader to unlock, then flash cyanogenmod, so I'm in a better position to handle that now, thanks for all the help guys.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentexcitebot:
Do NOT update to 4.4.4 via PCC if you want root.

Find the FTF and flash it via flashtool.

Can i keep all mods installed via Xposed if i flash the ftf.?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
That will also lose root.

Solution

Either update via PCC or flashtool, then use the easy newroot method from the cross device development section to root again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrishail87:
What about the mods? Will they remain intact or should i install superuser mod again?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you use pccompanion you will keep your data, but your system partition is wiped and upgraded.

If you use FTF then the phone is completely wiped (Data and internal storage as well as system)

Hi,

I want to get more cold color temperature. Also overall white balance - everything seems to be too warm and yellow. I can't change this using CM color Hue setting, because it doesn't change white balance, it only makes all colors to be weird. Also I found display when using revovery (for example , twrp), screen seems to be more cold color, no warm no yellow and they say Color OS has colder display too.

So it this some kernel related setting, etc? Some kind of hidden system configuration (build.prop or similar files)? How can I force colors to be colder, how can I change white balance. This is because that yellow colors are very annoying for me. Did you experienced the same?

Description

Popular puzzle game that came from the nineteenth century. We will collect the pyramid of the figures of the same color and at the same time to use the least amount of moves. An interesting modification of the classical Towers of Hanoi task.

How to play:

- Grab the figure and move it to the available space.

- In one step it is allowed to move only one figure.

- Do not place a larger figure on a smaller one and figures of the same size on each other.

- You can build a pyramid of figures of different colors.

- It is impossible to put figures on destroyed pedestals.

Features:

The difference from the classical Towers of Hanoi task is the fact that at different levels we will use a different number of pieces (depending on complexity) and different number of pedestals: 3 to 5.

The game is to go through the levels, the task in which become more complicated as they pass. After completing each level the player is rewarded with points and coins. Points positioned player in the overall league table. Coins can be spent on tricks that will help to pass the level with the best result.

Only 1 person of 1000 can pass the last level and get the gold medal! Maybe that's you this genius? Let's play!
