My IMEI is empty and phone does not read sim card.

I have read this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021

I have root access and I can see the files in EFS folder with root explorer, but can't delete any of the files. I also can't mount EFS folder to r/o.

Does anyone know the solution?

Update: I have flashed a custom rom and everything is fixed.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr. Awesome:
Hello,

So I am currently developing an app for the original Gear running on Tizen. My app is already submitted to the SamsungApps-store.

I am however not able to use the app on my watch. The app is apparently not "compatible" with the original Gear running Tizen with the Note 3. Before submitting the app, you have to select the compatible devices, but nowhere is the "Galaxy Note 3 - Gear 1.0 / Tizen 1" combination to be found. I can however find the "Galaxy S5 - Gear 1.0 / Tizen 1" on the list.

Now, the original Gear was introduced with the Note 3, which makes it even weirder that it is not compatible. How can I use my own application on my device?

I am also looking for a way to test my applications on an actual device during development. The emulators simply don't work for the purpose of my testings. What to do?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wiccan-two:
I have a developer certificate for the tizen sdk, I'm running a note 3 with the gear 1. I'd be willing to help test if you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr. Awesome:
When you say "developer certificate", how is that different from the certificates you acquire when your app gets approved for sale? I that case, I have already got one.

I am able to use the watch with the phone, but I am not able to submit any application to the Gear-store with the Note 3 / Gear 1 Tizen - combination.

I don't see why every other phone / watch combination is available, but not the exact one I need.
[Security Discussion] Misterer:
Is it possible to disable the "grant/deny" popup dialog when my app needs to perform tasks that require root access? I have full control of the device the app will run on (internal project), the device is rooted and it has supersu 2.x app.

The supersu docs tell me that I need to declare the android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission for my app to disable the popup, but it has no effect.

Is there a simple way to solve this (without changing the option i supersu app settings)?

Hi

I Need Information About Upgrading The Ram Memory Of My Xda Exec.i'll Realy Appreciate A Do It Yourself Info.along With The Actual Tipe Of Memory And How Much Would Be The Maximum I Can Upgrade It To.any Info Will Be Well Appreciated!

Thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BlackICE:
the only thing I can think of is, that the Universal has some empty places for memory on the pcb.

if you are good in soldering SMD mounted memory you can check, if this is possible and where you must solder them in the universal by looking in the service manual (which also explains how to take apart the device).

the service manual you can find in the ftp of xda-developers.com.

if you do not know what is SMD etc. then just forget it as you will for sure screw up your device.

for what do you need more memory?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simon_darley:
it has been tried, and you can find a forum post on this site about 8 - 10 months old.

there is a spare slot on the main board. it was done and added, but the OS didnt recognise the extra addition.

i find it odd. it was proposed that M$ OS limited its use, however, my wife has an IPAQ running WM5, and she has about 130mb of program memory (cant check she isnt here). Sure its not a phone, doesnt have 3G or GPRS etc, but as PDA, its fast, never runs out of memory, and has more than what mine does. So it isnt M$, it must be HTC manufacturer.

In summary, no matter how good you solder, it aint gonna work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
I also remember reading somwhere that with the extra memory the battery will drain way to fast thus rendering the upgrade utterly useless
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] niketkumar:
Bro u shld really forget this thght coz as it is mentioned above dat even v know dat there is an empty slot provided by the hardware manuf. but there is no support recognized by our M$ OS .
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Develo:
So let's get this straight once and for all:

I've read through a lot of threads regarding this, and some ppl say that the limitation lies with WM, some say that it does NOT lie with WM, some say that you have to get the hardware correctly hooked up, some say that the soldering has to be correct.........

It seems nobody has been able to settle the issue conclusively one way or the other.

so, does a pocketpc device exist that:

a) is based on the same CPU as the uni

b) has more than 64MB of RAM (128/256)

c) has WM5/6 and it sees all of the RAM??

If such a device exists, then in theory no ROM change should be necessary, and the answer should lie with hooking up the additional/replacement chips correcctly.

Thoughts along this road?

D.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fallenczar:
it cant be a limitation of the "os" as atena has 128 mb ram
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SpyderTracks:
Think most if not all the WM6 models are now 128mb at least aren't they? Would seem to point towards HTC issue...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
the universal was originally a wm2003se device with 128mb ram, they made it down to 64mb with the release of wm5, this is why the slots remain. If you can solder bga (needs an x-ray machine to verify the connections) and also find out how to get the memory noticed by the motherboard then it's a simple hex edit to make wm5/6 use it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Develo:
Interesting. Suppose I get the bga chips soldered on correctly.

1) What has to be done to wm5/6 so that the added ram gets seen?

2) I read someqhere that soldering just the bga chips is not enough. It seems that some additional parts are required. How about we get a detailed explanation going here?

Or is there a thread somewhere else about this already? I've searched around but haven't seen an explanation...

D.

Edit: while using an xray really insures that the connections are correct, I've soldered bgas before using more traditional methods (i.e.: hot plate + hot air gun). Doing this can damage the bga chips you;re trying to solder, but it is not that hard to do. Plus, I think the risk of damaging a few of the new chips you just bought is worth getting the final reward of doubling the RAM of the Uni...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] N1TeSH1FT:
That's the only reason I want to sell mine, because it has too little memory. I cannot start Navigon Mobile Navigator 6. Well I can start it but as soon as I want to search for a route to my Destination it lacks memory.

I found out that with PDAViet's ROM (one of the older Crossbow ones) where it has about 30 MB free it works, but I normaly have only about 22-24 MB left after syncing with no Program running. That's too little. This is why I wait for the Ultimate 7150 from IMATE.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] N1TeSH1FT:
That's why I'm awaiting the new ones from IMate. Perhaps they are fast as they are supposed to be. My MDA III (That's the BlueAngel) was much faster than the MDA Pro (Universal)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] kchris:
yes but that was because Storage Memory was also in RAM...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mamaich:
Nothing should be done. Device would detect 128Mb automatically if RAM is correctly soldered. The RAM detection code is identical to the code used in BlueAngel ROM, so it should be working.

I even made a patched ROM on which device always think that 128Mb RAM is installed. So the problem is in soldering :(

There are 2 resistors that need to be shifted. Search forum, we've published the fotos.

But that is not enough, the whole RAM is not accessible, so something else should be soldered.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simonsalo:
Does anyone know if the new imate ultimate series will recognize an sd / mini sd card greater than 2mb??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Develo:
Does anyone have one of these 2003SE Uni's, to compare hardware? Has anyone seen one of these?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] puerrican85:
It was never released as a WM2003 device though before it was changed to run WM5. Finding one is pretty much impossible if anything.. I do recall a year or two ago a chinese user of the device soldered the ram on the device and got it to detect the full 128mb. His work was never posted here though, I came across it on google a long time ago. If I find the page I'll post it here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Develo:
:eek: good god please do that!!!!!!!! I've been racking my brains out reading datasheets and googling and reading stuff about this, and I've been wondering for the longest time how come nobody has done it yet!!

Hope you find that page again!!!! I sure haven't!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
Has anyone tried looking for FCC or Patent Diagrams?

I've been trying emailing reviewers who had pre-production ones, especially the ones who's articles said 128mb of ram ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Lt.Cmdr.Ivan:
Sounds very good all this,

Hopefully someone finds out how this is to be done.

Oh and i am willing to try it out too (hmm man too bad i cannot solder bga chips)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pigeonking:
Hello,everybody: I am very excited that universal could be updated to 128mb ram. I also ask someone to update for me and he say ok. But right now, I don't know whether it is necessary to update the universal. Because after using the rom from mamaich with my 64mb universal, I feel universal is faster than before. I don't know if i update the ram, could it be more faster. I don't have the problem of running out of memery, with mamaich's rom, everything runs ok and faster than before.

So, my question is, what is the reason that universal faster?? the rom?? the memory??rom + memory???

Could someone have updated the memory make some test for us??

thanks a lot.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:

Indonesia

Hi..does anyone in jakarta(Indonesia) able and willing to perform this upgrade?

Thanks..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] WizP:
Guys just to make sure things are clear this is NOT storage ROM!

The upgrade is for RAM. If your using mamaichs ROM you'll have very little RAM left but your phone will seem VERY quick! You need the RAM if your running lots of programs and specially if your using lots of today plugins. You cannot install programs in this extra space.

Many people have issues with memory leakage but with the RAM upgrade the lowest amount of memory I've ever had is 27MB with 21 applications running at the same time i.e. loaded in to memory/RAM
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
I must have gotten the wrong idea, but there is 128M of ROM on our universals right? But if we have things like Wisbar Advance Wisbar Desktop, skins for both advance and desktop of wisbar, then have SPB plus and also pocket breeze the RAM gets rather low.

I seem to loose RAM when I do remote desktop to my servers and have to clear up the temp.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] WizP:
Yep there is 128MB ROM The excitement with ROM is that some of the new ROMs have just made better use of the space available and so more free space left over after the ROM/operating system has been installed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
Sorry for the newbieish questions... then where are all my contacts, tasks, schedules, emails, SMS and etc stored??

I currently will drain my device with the 4800mAh battery within a day, will the 128mb ram half what I currently can achieve?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] WizP:
The contacts, sms etc. are all stored in the ROM. So far I have noticed a slight decrease in battery life but nothing too serious, certainly not half.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
I guess its time to move those installed programs to the Extended ROM :p but still the added RAM will provide more stability in terms of running multiple applications or plugins.

Hopefully I get a reply from them and if the price is reasonable, why not? :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] toja:
I think I know how to unhide ext rom - let me know how to hide it back...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
The program I found could hide and unhide it. When unhidden, a soft reset did not hid it back so its ideal for installing apps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] toja:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dagosjt:
Please look at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=346693

it seems (not very clear for me) that you can "upgrade" your Universal only flashing some ROM in particular sequence, that is WITHOUT soldering the chip... Have somebody tried? If yes and really works, could post a more clear procedure? :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
Just an update on my side in Singapore.

I have not recieved an email reply from anyone that could do it locally.

Anyone willing to setup this as a service so people can ship their universals to him( or her ) get it fixed up and shipped back for the cost of the chips, postage and also servicing and flashing fees please let me know.

I am in the web hosting business, so if there is a need to setup a website to advertise this service I can sponsor that as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Asukal:
Great idea!

OK, i can ask my friend to add this service,

1:Service A= Send to the guys only RAM chips 64MB x 2pcs=128MB

2:Service B= Send the Uni Device itself to HK, then solder it & return!

After i talked with friends, i will inform it here!

They have shopping site, also having link at Buzz net

Is there any vendor offering this service in the States?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mctoey:
How do you think about the price?

$245 for the total upgrade, $110 for the chips alone? Don't you guys think it's a bit pricey? Will it take much time and major efforts for someone with skills to do this? I don't have a clue how much the chips would cost from other sources, but $245 for the total upgrade (exclusive of postage) could get you a new phone. Wait a bit longer and any 128mb Windows Mobile device would become cheaper.

I belive the price quoted is US Dollar, not Hong Kong Dollar, though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
Just for my peace of mind, are there still ongoing investigations to see whether G4 devcies (O2 XDA Exec, bootloader 2.01) can be upgraded as well?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
The price, well, in the pervious postings someone said the chips cost 50pounds so thats about USD$100, give and take a little so the service charge costed USD$145? A little on the higher side, but if they included shipping back, reflashing and testing it. Sounds somewhat reasonable.

The problem is that currently no other phone is a clamshell/laptop type... The only ones in the market or have been in the market recently are :

Sony Clie UX50 (Palm OS)

Sharp Zaurus CL-S3200 (Linux)

HTC Universal (WM5)

The Clie does not have 3G features, the battery life is too short has too little built in ram. 8mb....

The Zaurus does not have 3G, wifi or Bluetooth features unless you can get yourself a CF HSDPA card. And also its in Japan means reflashing, buying a data plan, getting CF wifi and bluetooth modules and etc. But it does have a inbuilt HDD.

The Universal has good battery life, has 3G but the RAM goes a little short for me.

I think there was a slight mistake on the site... It should be G3 or G4 and not 3G or 4G.

Forgot how to check which version mine was...

When rebooting, it says

R 1.09.00

G 42.42.P8

D 1.30.77 WWE

Is that a G3 or G4?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
Hold power+backlight while pressing stylus into reset hole. When bootloader comes up look at version number. 1.xx=G3, 2.xx=G4

When finished, soft reset again and you get back to normal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
It says version 1.01 looks like I am good to go :)

I will contact them when I am back from my trip in mid dec.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Asukal:
hi, i asked them about the price. they said it was included freight of sending back to guys,<one fixed freight to send back any where in the world>

Do you suggest the freight should be depend on destination?

i will ask them if guys think so/
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
I don't know about the exact pricing for the materials but if its :

USD$100 for the chips

USD$100 for workmanship

USD$45 for shipping back with tracking and express service

Its a little difficult to see anyway of cutting back on the price.

I think most of our problems are that we can't or don't know how to solder the thing properly. ( I can't even solder a LED to a circuit board properly... )

Currently I can get a Dopod U1000 for around USD$850 and that comes with everything I want in a PDA other than its not a Clamshell... ( A convertible usage mode and a attached thumbpad is VERY important for me )

So in my view, $150~$200 seem like a more reasonable pricing for a professional service minus the shipping. Let the client choose his own way of shipping the unit back to him.

Back in my days of selling on eBay, I offered different cost on separate regions. ( USA, Europe, Asia, Australia ) and after that depending on the method of shipping, ( Normal Document Mail, Registered Document Mail, Express Courier Service )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] renhui:
Seems like here in China it's much much cheaper.

The chips only cost less than 20 dollars per pair. And there is a guy who offered soldering plus chips for 40 dollars including domestic postage.

more than 200 dollars for 128MB on universal is unacceptable to me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waiyaki:
USD$60 to solder, service, clean, reflash? thats quite a deal he is offering!

Shipping should cost no more than USD$40 per instance if we are using th express courier service.

Where is this guy? Has he successfuly done these operations before?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] King of Rapture™:
Hi there,

You are right, the USD$60 includes the price of pair of chips, which alone are for less than USD$20!

Wonder why the other guy is charging USD$110 for the pair of chips!

KOR!
