Can we flash TMO stock ROM on i717?

Found many threads on this topic but nothing worked for me. Anytime I touch radio; phone, data, wi-fi everything shuts down.

ATT STOCK ROM 4.1.2 (refreshed this; use this for recovering to fresh point).

Tried

* Tmo_SGH-T989-UVMC6_radio

* Tmo_SGH-T989_KID_radio_ATTNOTE

* I717UCMD3-Modem (tried to restore - didn't work)

Can someone please suggest how to run i717 on TMO?

Thanks,

I'd recommend flashing an ATT based rom and if necessary flash a TMO modem if you have issues with signal in your area.. I use T879-UVMA1_i717.zip and get pretty decent HSPA+ speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] indi7:
Awesome man. Technique worked while I was on TMO.

This rom was bit funky :( Screen used to flicker and go blank some time. Reboot would make it fine but same problem was happening every other day.

Anyway - I'm back to at&t so reverted to 4.1.2 stock (with5h radio). Very slow and full of bloatware. What is the best 4.4.x kitkat for i717?

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dzee206:
you know we have a screen flicker patch? peep out the dev section for it, I'm on t-mobile and no issues with this device every thing is working as it should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
To remove the flicker, you can also go into settings -> developer options -> disable HW overlay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bmunday:
screen flicker

Apply 'Pollutions rom patch' 2.x, from the android dev thread, after installing 4.4.x.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dzee206:
I had forgot all about that. I'm just so use to adding the screen flicker fix to the build.prop since I always extract the ROM and remove google's and cm's bloat as well as a bunch of other thing and while adding nova into the mix. its just a weird habit of mine as of lately lol.

Hi all,

is Wizard able to work with the SIM card with two lines (two several numbers, e.g. one of them for the business and the second one private)? On the old phones I had before (Ericsson, Siemens) it was possible to switch between both lines very easily and it was even possible to set the different ring tone for each line.

You could search for sd card data recovery software for Windows. Connect your sdcard to your pc then run the software, you should able to recover the deleted data.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwert940:
I have a problem with my Defy running CM11. Yesterday it just rebooted randomly during writing of SMS message. I wouldn't really mind this(because it happens sometimes with unstable fw) but half of my contacts were gone. I know I should sync them with my Google account but I didn't for some time now and I really would like to restore them. I copied 'contacts2.db" file, opened it in text editor and it is possible to find those missing numbers there, but the context is really hard to figure something out. I found it in the table named "search_index_content". The table is looking like that: "CREATE TABLE 'search_index_content'(docid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, 'c0contact_id', 'c1content', 'c2name', 'c3tokens')". Number is in the "c3tokens" column, there are two ids in first two columns and some probably encoded text in "c2name" column. Does any one know how to decode the text from this column or how to generally restore ALL contacts from "contacts2.db"?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pradeeppk:
First of all export your contacts to SD card. Then you can find 00001.vcf file in SD card. Open it using a text editor and look for missing contacts. Or after exporting it display ......contacts copied. If it equals to your full contacts list then import it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwert940:
I wouldn't name you answer brilliant, but no offense you tried. If I'm working with database to restore at least some of the lost contacts if not all of them do you really think it's that simple to click "Export to SD" on my phone. I wrote that the contacts are missing. There are not showing in directory so they won't be exported to vcf :)

Nonetheless I managed to encode the text. It's in hex system, however it's not ASCII, I'm not sure which encoding it is. Topic can be closed.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Lienot:
I have got the Galaxy S4 and with the Headphone Volume Mod I am satisfied with the sound.

Without the Volume Mod it is OK, but we are at the beginning, the Oppo can be rooted without a problem so I think there will be a solution sometime..

At the beginning many people had problems with "crackling" sound with the galaxy.

My short question: How is the Oppo Find 7 volume compared to the Galaxy S4 (EU stock firmware)

There are some sound enhancers build in the Oppo.

If there is someone else using the Oppo and listening to music via headphones, please tell me what you think!!

I ordered it anyway, but a first hand info would be nice.

Has anyone tested the TAB PRO to mirror using Chromecast? Can you share the experiences?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] dfordigit:
not working

I can use apps like netflix, but i have to be in a valid country to use it. Using vpn will break the connection. For mirroring only possible

If you are rooted. Mine is not (tab pro 8.4 ). In the following link read something about it.

http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

I also have a nexus 4 wich works fine mirroring, but vpn breaks the connection again.

A other work arround would be a dwrt router where you change the dns server. Or you could use a pc as hotspot router where all clients

connect to. Maybe its better to use the dongle from samsung or a smart tv easier setup and works for me.;)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ufx:
Actually instead of VPN I am using Unblock-us in a Linksys router which works fine with Roku and Apple tv or any other device conected to it, but not with Chromecast since they force the use of their own DNS. This is why I was looking at mirroring as an option , but I agree with you that a dongle might be the best option to avoid any lagging or interruptions.

Thanks

I ended up buying a Dongle on Amazon, which is much cheaper than the Samsung, and I dont have to worry about the compatibility with Chromecast. I suppose Sasmung will make Cast Mirroring available to all devices sometime soon

[Galaxy Grand 2 General] shabbypenguin:
The following guide will get you back to where you should be able to odin everything back to stock.

What you need:

16GB or 32GB microSD card (all data will be erased from this sdcard)

microSD card reader

Linux Live Disc, Windows can be used, instructions below.

One of the following images based on your software

4.4 NG4 SM-G7102 https://mega.co.nz/#!RJoH2Iga!xs1M6721DeFZY_bDWEmAacf2ai_KKpl_EUwkgeuIBPY

How to get it done:

Linux Instructions

Boot your Linux OS

Download the debrick image listed in the Item's needed list

Open terminal on your Linux OS

Insert your microSD card into the reader

Plug your microSD card reader into your computer

Run

dmesg | tail

you should see something that mentions where it is mounted via /sdX

*

dd if=/path_to_debrick.img of=/dev/sdX

again where X is the microSD card ignoring the partition numbers as they should be overwritten

I had to do this a couple times for the image to actually take

*

parted /dev/sdX print

If you will see Error about the GPT table being corrupt you can type "OK" and then you will be given an option to Fix/Ignore; type "Ignore"

should show approximately 23 partitions (IIRC)

Windows Instructions

Download win32diskimager

Download your debrick image

Unzip both items and run win32diskimager

Run win32diskimager

browse for your extracted debrick image

Select your microSD in the dropdown box

Click write

Instructions required for both

remove the microSD card from the reader

remove the battery, sim and external microSD card from your device

insert your debrick microSD into your phone

insert the battery and down your power button (at this point your phone might actually boot completely and you can recovery any software/data you want)

reboot into Download mode either via adb or Volume Down + Home + Power

Once the device is booted into bootloader remove the microSD card.

follow the directions in the ODIN thread and make sure you UNCHECK partition!

* requires su privileges

Once you have your device booting with the SDcard, youll need to flash the stock odin firmware which you can get from samfirmware.com. make sure you flash teh version or a newer one than what you had, you cannot downgrade.

I know that I faced problems with the gps functionality when I flashed cyanogen11 for the first time. The GPS would not work, at all. No satellite lock, no google maps, nothing! Here are some steps I took to get my gps working again. And now it's at 100%

1. Try gps fixing apps from the play store. GPSfix, etc. These will load your phone with data, and erase the gps data your phone already has.

If this doesn't work, (which it did NOT for me, try this)

2. This part really sucks, you have to reflash stock kitkat 4.4.2 to your razr, and then from there, enable high accuracy mode in the gps. MAKE SURE IT IS ENABLED. Then from here, use fastboot to load it back into bootloader mode, and then reflash your recovery, and your mod of choice. This should fix the gps. Mine works great now. Hope this helped!:laugh:

You must've posted right before I finished my edit. This worked for me. I saved a backup to my external SD card, then followed option 2 in the op, then restored my backup. I now have working GPS.

From your post, it sounds like you may not have an external SD card, so you'd want to transfer your backup to your computer before reflashing the stock ROM, otherwise you would wipe your backup. I'd also recommend transferring your pictures and other media you want to hold onto, just to save some headache on that front.
