[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6thSense93:
Hello folks, I am currently in USA and bought a bad ESN Note 3 SM-N900P (sprint)> I was really excited about it, but a friend of mine told me that it will not work in my country ( Bulgaria) because sprint notes are using different antennas. Is that true, or i gotta be worried and try to return the phone?

My carrier in Bulgaria is BG Globul I got this from one site

BG GLOBUL Details

BG GLOBUL is one of the 3 cellular networks in България. BG GLOBUL is owned and operated by Cosmo Bulgaria Mobile

BG GLOBUL has an average 3G download speed of 3.1 Mb/s, which is better than the global average of 1.8 Mb/s.

BG GLOBUL uses the GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / UMTS 2100 frequency bands for its network.

Please help me solve the mystery.

Thank you in advance!

Ok, just had a quick question for those with root who have debloated their phones already (or those who can answer regardless).

First time having a G3 and my first time being on T-Mobile since the invention of Android (just moved from Verizon, and in my area I am absolutely loving it, not to mention the unlimited data I have missed oh so much since my ATT days),

Anyways, I would just like to know what all is ok to remove from this phone for debloating, just don't want to wind up uninstalling something that breaks stuff, but I would definitely like to get rid of whatever I safely can, so any help on the subject or what all you guys removed when getting rid of bloat on your devices would definitely be appreciated. Coming from a Moto X DevEd there wasn't really anything worth removing, so I haven't really even thought about carrier bloat in a while since I ditched my Galaxy S3 for it.

Thanks for any help.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ggrant3876:
I was going to ask the same question since this is my 1st LG device. I would proceed with caution until there's a definitive list posted. Also, I've always found it better to freeze the bloat with Titanium. If you use Titanium to freeze the app and there's a problem you can unfreeze it. If you've uninstalled or deleted the app you'd need to reflash your stock firmware.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
The T-Mobile version doesn't have as much bloat as other G3 versions, so it should be pretty easy.

Here's what I have removed.

These you can uninstall:

Box

ThinkFree Viewer

Favorite Contacts

These I uninstalled with Titanium Backup once I got root:

Chrome (I use Chrome Beta)

T-Mobile Name ID

T-Mobile TV

Lookout

There are three Carrier IQ files. Not sure if these are ok to remove. There's supposed to be a way to opt out of these diagnostics, can't remember the menu. I did a nandroid backup so I'll remove these shortly.

If you don't have root, you can disable the apps. In order to disable Lookout, you first have to remove it from Device Administrators, then you'll be able to disable it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mgbotoe:
Im subscribing to this thread for the answer...was just about to ask thte same when you posted
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
I removed all of the carrier IQ stuff. I even removed the shared object file after a reboot. No issues.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
These are the three apps. Where's the shared object file?
[T-Mobile LG G3] GoogleAndroid:
As others have said, freeze the apps with Titanium instead of uninstalling them. That way, it's easy to get them back should you have any issues or need them. This is everything that I have frozen with no ill effects.
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
Look for Voodoo carrier IQ detector in the play store (it's free). It will tell you the path.

I always rename the file with a different extension first, that way if something goes wrong, I can revert it in TWRP.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dems86:
Can you specify which is the Carrier IQ stuff and were to remove the shared object file? Never thought about carrier iq before, installed debloated stock roms on gs3 and Moto x DevEd (was still Verizon) the day I got them, never really researched on Carrier IQ.
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
Honestly I didn't keep track of exactly which files I removed. There are a couple of apks and a single shared object (.so) file.

Look for that app I mentioned earlier, voodoo. It will search your system and tell you which files are a part of it.

Take care of the apks first. Move them to some other location (ie. /storage/emulated/0) then reboot and rerun voodoo. Eventually you will be left with just the .so file. Then remove that last.

Again, always move the files first, reboot to see if anything is wrong. Once they're all moved, and you're sure you didn't screw anything up, then delete them.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Hmm, Voodoo doesn't mention the .so file in my case, but says diagandroid.iqd is running, even though I have removed the three Carrier IQ files in Titanium backup. This is the only item that Voodoo is detecting, and I have rebooted already.
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
A cursory Google search says this may be related to the LG keyboard. I didn't remove that, but switched to the Google keyboard.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
It comes up on AT&T G3 Carrier IQ discussions, so it seems it is part of Carrier IQ. When I first set up the phone, it told me where to go to disable it, but I don't remember now.
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
Here's a list of all files I removed (disclaimer: I don't use any of the LG apps, including the LG launcher)

com.mobitv.client.tmobiletvhd.apk (and .odex)

ECID-release.apk (and .odex)

IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed.apk (and .odex)

IQ_OOB_v1.6_forLG.signed.apk (and .odex)

LGFOTA.apk (and .odex)

LGTTS.apk (and .odex)

TMO_Lookout.apk (and .odex)

TMO_MyAccount.apk (and .odex)

TMO_VVM.apk (and .odex)

LTDDM.apk (and .odex)

LGUpdateCenter.apk (and .odex)

libiq_service_tmobile_2.2.so

It is not an exhaustive list of all things that can be removed, and I will likely remove more in the near future.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Do you get the same 200 score on voodoo?
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
No. I get 0.
[T-Mobile LG G3] rich2007:
Its under backup and reset and then collect diagnostics
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
I can't find the mobile hotspot apk anywhere in a root browser to freeze it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Dosn't look like there's an APK. When I look at the shortcut, it gives me information for Settings
[T-Mobile LG G3] Nosferatu.:
I'll keep an eye on this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
I removed all CarrierIQ except for the one you listed and wasn't able to find it either.
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
LTDDM.apk
[T-Mobile LG G3] alxn91:
How do we delete the com.carrieriq.tmobile?? Every time I delete it from data/data/com.carrieriq.tmobile, it instantaneously reappears. I get a score of 70 on voodoo, with the message saying that files are present but seems to be inactive.
[T-Mobile LG G3] draster80:
I think it was under system/priv-apk
[HTC Sensation] usama981:
hy guys its my first time post ok sorry for my english beacuse its not my native language :)

guys i wanted to ask i installed android revoloution on my sensation it is good the thing i wanted to ask is that is there any way to increase gpu performance in games so it can play gta san andreas without any lagg and other games beacuse i love playing games
[HTC Sensation] Max :):
Maby you habe to less ram availeble? Try to kill all apps , and retry :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have a custom kernel you can do it

do this

put this line in system->etc->init.qcom.post_boot.sh file with any file manager which has root rights and mounting system as writable(such as es explorer)

echo the value > / sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

for value you can set 26666666 or 30000000 or 32000000

probably as default is set to 266mhz so you can raise it but i suggest do not set 320mhz because it will drain the battery faster especially when playing games

then reboot the device
[HTC Sensation] little_lerroyy:
my sensation can be overclocked to 320MHz, i ran a stability tester and came back fine. However i dont play any games on my phone, so 266mhz would be a better choice. Im not sure if the clock speed is thottled down when not in use? If it does thottle down, set it at 320MHz, and it will ramp accordinly.
[Samsung Galaxy Fame] Little_Lun:
Hi All,

I am newbie in XDA.

I just got the Samsung Fame (S6812c), China Unicom Version.

I was google-ed already, and I had follow all post related S6812 in XDA.

I was used the Odin 307 to load the recovery.tar.md5 and success.

I tried "Power on + Vol up + Home" to turn on the phone.

It can load the first screen (the vendor logo, not Samsung logo).

After that I cannot load anything and it will reboot again.

Then during reboot, it will show the vendor logo, then the Samsung logo, and boot into the normal OS.

May I know, how any I load the CWM or how to check the debug log ?

Heiiiii guys,t

I wanna ask if anyone could post the original samsung galaxy s5 boot logo.

Please help...... My phone without the boot logo....it doesn't looks like original.....

Please i don't know how to make a custom logo.... So please don't post me the image but the already-made file that i had to put on the system file

Please i know you can help me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It's highly unlikely that you phone doesn't have a stock boot logo. That image inside the bootloader and seldom modified. You probably mean the splash screen or possibly the boot animation. There are mulriple stock versions of borh and you gave no details or description of which one you are seeking.

Then there is the way that you asked for this. Complaining that it's not enough to provide it, but it has to be packaged just so, so that you don't need to click more than once or twice to install it. Why is it better that we waste our time accommodating you, than you spending your more valuable time reading a thread to learn how to install the file?

Perhaps someone else will spoon feed you. I'm going to go help someone more reasonable.

boot logo

Sorry man......

I've got a samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f with android 4.4.2.... I rooted it.

One day i had the great idea of changing the screen when we got the samsung galaxy s5 logo screen and under that is wrote "owered by android".

However it was my mistake that i didn't do a backup and now i don't have the logo....

I searched a lot in internet but can't found anything......

So i wrote there a thread because i thought that you can help me......
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
There are a lot of people here that go out of their way to help people. All we ask for is some details, so that we can effectively help you. How you expect us to help you if you don't describe your situation is beyond me. And speaking for myself, I'd rather help people that attempted to solve their issue or at least tried a search and have a reasonable attitude.

About your "boot logo".. I'm still confused about what you want. You mentioned "powered by android" but it wasn't clear if that was a reference to the initial screen after boot or custom text that you added to one of the other boot screens.

A stock boot sees an initial black screen with white text of the model number and powered by android moniker. Followed by an optional, carrier dependent splash screen. Then a boot animation. Both Google and XDA have abundant images of each. Can you post an image or at least describe better what you are looking for?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
That is what you want? Then you really do want the boot logo, although you described it poorly. That is very unusual, it's an image seldom changed.

This is a jpg image inside the bootloader. And since you pleaded for the easy way out, you really want the stock bootloader, not the image per se.

The best way for you to obtain this is to download the stock firmware and get it from there. Here's why: if someone sends you the wrong file you are at high risk of bricking your phone. If you think taking the easy way out is worth that risk.. well, carry on.

But first you will have to specify what bootloader version you need. A random version would be all but certain to (flip a coin) fail to flash or brick your phone.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shidonokata:
all i want is to put the boot logo.bin (but the logo i want is the image that i attached before) file on /system/media/images.

by mistake i deleted the first one while playing with my mobile system files -.- .

i tried a lot of hard resets, searched in internet but nothing.

i tried to make me a custom logo but i can't find the image.

i don't know what to do.....

If you mean only the jpg i got it ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liammendes:
That is impossible........

So, You're telling me.....

That you have a SM-G900F (Snapdragon S5)

AND that you changed the boot logo.

That has never been done, there is no way to change the boot logo for snapdragon.....

only for exynos

maybe you have SM-G900H?

But that isn't possible
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
ive had the G900P for just shy of 3 years and changing the splash screen has led to a dead end every time ive tried. i think its a lost cause as the image is in the tar.md5 and modifying that can lead to a permabricked device if you flash a corrupted file
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlBaraa98:
best suggestion grab four files flash 4.4.2 and the pit also and flash through odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Hey guys! This might sound noobish, but i really never flashed, rooted, or anything on a droid/etc before. So atm I bought a galaxy s4 for my dad, and tried unlocking this stupid phone, but unlocking thru the dialer didnt work(couldnt even get *#27663368378# to work, when using *#0011#, still couldnt do anything.) All i know about it, is that it recognizes the European sim card, but the simple mobile(usa) sim card doesnt recognize, can't make calls, etc, as when you try to make a call it says "cant register to network" or w.e. So i was wondering what should I do? Do i need to flash the modem? rom? Root it? I want it to be able to work in global, in usa and euro.

On another note, I got my other phone that's on ver 4.2.2. Should i try upgrading my modem/baseband from mdl to nb4? Anything new with the new modem or anything i should update? Since i cant update OTA anymore on my 4.2.2. lol. :P Any suggestions would be awesome :) Tell me from your point of you, is it better to stay at 4.2.2? or just get the 4.4.2, and should i root my phone? Any vernabilities/security problems if done?

Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 T-mobile

ROM: M919UVUFNB4

4.4.2 kitkat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
To unlock your dad's phone the guide you linked to

should

do what you need done.

As far as your phone still on MDL, you should be able to use the old method through the service menu to unlock if that's what you wanted to do. You can update your modem/baseband if you desire, although if you're staying on stock 4.2.2 TouchWiz there is really no need to. It's only when you flash ROMs based on 4.3 and above that you run into issues using the MDL modem/baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
To add to lordcheeto's post, there's a difference between MDL bootloader and the MDL modem. When the S4 was released with Android 4.2 it had an unlocked bootloader (MDL), but with Android 4.3 and 4.4 Samsung included new security software called Knox. Knox doesn't prevent rooting, but if you flash a custom recovery such as CWMR, TWRP, or Philz Touch then a security flag will be irreversibly tripped which voids your warranty. Because this Knox software is tied into the bootloader, developers found a way around it by extracting the modems from 4.3 (MK2) and 4.4 (NB4) firmwares which allows us to keep our MDL bootloader and still use 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 roms. The advantages are that we keep our warranty and we're able to use any 4.2+ rom. We can downgrade and upgrade easily while Knox phones can't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Should i keep the 4.4.2 kitkat thats not working with my usa sim card atm? Or should i flash it to 4.2.2. ADL? If having 4.2.2 is better doing that guide i put link to above, then give me a good tut on doing it, need to do it today xD THanks in Advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
What do you suggest? Should i downgrade to 4.2.2.? Or just run with the guide i posted above keeping the 4.4.2. NB4, I just need it to run so i can call, use date, and go to euro and use in usa ofc. Ive been using my 4.2.2. pretty good so far, been almost a year and had no problems with it, should i worry about updating my modem on my 4.2.2.? or anything important, etc? If i should go with 4.2.2., i need to root it eh? If so, point me to the good rooting method and downgrading to 4.2.2. frin 4.4.2 Kitkat(updated OTA). Thanks in Advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I thought the answers given were pretty clear... I'm actually confused about what phone you're asking about, and if there are, in fact, 2 different phones in question... My answer will be a bit lengthy, but I hope that you can put 1 and 2 together and apply the information I am about to type to your particular situation: Also, I'm not trying to be a ****, just concise.

In reference to the S4 that is on 4.4.2 (NB4) firmware: The unlock method which you posted SHOULD enable the device to use different SIM cards and function in "euro" and "usa." That includes making calls and using "date" (data?) as you mentioned. As far as your question on reverting that particular device: There is no way whatsoever to downgrade the firmware on a device running either stock 4.3 (MK2) or stock 4.4.2 (NB4) obtained by flashing via Odin, Kies, or OTA; so that idea can be forgotten about. The unlock method, from what I gather, simply reverts the modem and allows you to use the old unlock method. then returns the modem to NB4. It does not touch the firmware, bootloader, or anything other than the modem/baseband.

For whichever device this applies to: there should be no

need

to root either to accomplish either goal. If you wish to root, then I can point you in the right direction; otherwise, if you haven't needed it so far and don't foresee needing it in the future, I say don't worry about it.

As for the device running 4.2.2: if you have had no troubles with reception, then there is no need to update your modem/baseband. There are really only 2 times that updating your modem would come in handy. 1: If you are having reception problems, or 2: If you plan on keeping your bootloader at MDL

AND

using custom ROMs 4.3 and above. The benefit of this scenario is that keeping your bootloader on MDL means that your device does not have the KNOX-implemented bootloader and can easily be reverted to a completely stock state for warranty purposes yet you still get to have the most up-to-date version of Android. If neither of those conditions apply to you, then there is really no real need to update your modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
The guide you posted should work just fine. Just follow the instructions.

Also, I left out one of the most important parts of having the modems extracted from the 4.3 and 4.4 firmwares. The reason for extracting the modems is so that we can flash them separately from the official firmware which would upgrade us to a Knox bootloader. Using the 4.2 modem with 4.3 and 4.4 roms causes data and sound issues that make the phone pretty much unusable. The same goes for using the 4.3 modem with a 4.4 rom. With the extracted modems we can flash them separately for whatever Android version we're using and have full functionality and retain the MDL bootloader and all it's perks.

If you use a 4.2 rom, you'll need to make sure to flash the MDL modem with it.

For 4.3 roms, you'll need to be on MK2 modem.

4.4 roms require NB4 modem.

As long as you don't update to official 4.3 or 4.4, you'll be able to use any version rom you want according to your preference. Personally, I use 4.4 roms, but it's nice to have the option to go back to 4.2 if I want to. Once you SIM unlock, it should stick between all versions. You should be able to flash any rom that you want without having to worry about going through that process again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
That Makes sense...just trying to grasp info. on everything so it's more clearer ;p and thanks for correcting me, yea it was data lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
So If i was on 4.3, and it updated to 4.4.2 kitkat, means it went to the official update eh? As "lordcheeto03" said that once u go to 4.3 or 4.4.2 you cant go back to 4.2, the menu options and w.e go updated, the "about me" is now yellow, the top border of the phone is grey, etc. The new security is enforcing, I guess I'll try the guide i found, hope i don't do anything stupid or skip a step(usually doesn't happen) but feels kinda weird doing things the first time.

On another note, if a phone bricks or in a loop, etc can it be solved? So i still have hope if something goes wrong xD

edit: The guide i link that i found, it works for all m919 models? Since i got t-mobile, not sure if all models(tmobile, att, etc) have the same modem, wouldnt want to brick cuz of not flashing the correct file, w.e(disregard this, i forgot i posted in the t-mobile section, man sometimes i feel like an idiot because i dont double check xD)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Once you hit 4.3, you lost your ability to downgrade. You can upgrade, but you can't go back. Rest easy, as long as you can get into download mode, you can recover your device. Bootloop, soft brick, whatever; as long as Power + volume down brings you to download mode everything is still OK. Just read the directions a few times.. get used to the idea of what's going on, double check and make sure you have the right software and files, and jump in. You'll do fine. Even after years of jailbreaking iphones and rooting Droids, I still get nervous whenever I have to fire up Odin; but just remember... many many others (more than have posted in that thread for sure) have done the same thing you're about to do, so as long as you follow the directions you will be fine!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Thanks for the reply, now I'm all fired up and ready to do this :D I'll post back here when i'm done and see how it went xD

Edit: Can i ask you a favor? Could you get me the "M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB.zip" modem file and "M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip", i think that's what the tutorial link i posted is asking for. But the files r huge, 1.6gb, etc, would take me 3hrs+ each for each file to download just to extract the modem =/ If that's the only thing i need.

found these links: http://rapidgator.net/file/59487dc515500a0430ddaddc780fa555/TMB-M919UVUFNB4-20140314115123.zip.html

and : http://terafile.co/32d149264215/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip

Not sure if they are safe to use or not, not everything on the net is...plus they r huge files =/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
These files include modem.bin that is required... I'm not sure why the OP linked to the entire firmware instead of just those links, but anywho...

The NB4 modem can be found in this thread. It's only ~20MB.

The MDL modem is in this thread. It is ~25MB.

Also, quote me instead of just replying to the thread. I'll respond quicker ;)
