"All codes are from factory and they don't normally fail. it must be the software on the phone which needs to updated to official latest ROM to enable it accept the code. The phone should ask for SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN."

that statement is a load of rubbish, your IMEI number on your phone never changes, and you have to give them that number and device model in order for them to generate your unlock code, correct ?

they are correct however in saying that the device will ask for the sim unlock code, but only when its been inserted with a different operators sim card, if its booting and working with a different operators sim in it, and not asking for the unlock pin, then its already unlocked.

your IMEI and model makes that unlock code specific to your phone and your phone only, doesn't matter what software you have on it.

either he has entered the wrong IMEI number or selected the wrong device when generating the unlock code, or you've given him the wrong number.

ive unlocked mine and had and still have ViperOne on it.

Hi Guys

Does anybody have a way how to stop Hardware Buttons doing the Job they have to do by OS settings from their Compact Framweork Applications?

e.g. I would like to use the Volume Controller on Wizard/Magican within my Application - an no Popping up?

Anybody done this? - I know it is possible on C++ Apps (like Screenshot Applications) - nevertheless I would like to use it in C# - yes I can Pinvoke so if anybody points out the DLL's it should be ok for me ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
I have modified SystemUI and SecSettings (add flashlight toggle, make SystemUI dark). Can I simply copy+paste to /system/priv-app/ while the device is running (and deleted/rename odex files) and reboot? I figured that worse case, they would FC until I replaced them again, assuming I messed anything up. I do not have SafeStrap, FYI.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] osker83:
How did you add flashlight toggle? I am in Stock att 5.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
I use a deodexed rom, but I did it that way. Copy and paste it in and change permissions. When I put in systemui, it crashes, but starts up again. Then I change permissions. In the past, I've modified flashable zips to put the files in.
[General Questions and Answers] sake40:
Is it possible to have a Local WiFi Hotspot? I have a Galaxy S5 with Verizon. Ever since I upgraded I have been struggling on a 6gb data plan. I own an iPad and an Apple TV and wanted to do wireless airplay for presentations. Of course Apple TV requires a WiFi connection to airplay so I was wondering if there was a way to make a local wifi hotspot on a device without using the internet? It would be like having a wireless router that isn't plugged into a modem. I have never seen this brought up before so I figured I might as well see if it is even possible. What do you guys think?Am I crazy for wanting a local hotspot or does this peak anyone interest to explore?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
is is possible to have the hotspot running on the phone and data turned off, but i dont know what effect that would have on other transfers through the wifi.

only reason i know this is because i just started using ds battery saver app the other day, and i use the hotspot on my phone a lot. i have it set to turn off mobile data when the phone is off, well this poses a problem as the hotspot is still broadcasting but i have no internet connection. fortunately the developer had already thought of this (for streaming music etc, same issue) and put an adjustable bandwidth sensor on the app, so it wont cut off data when the screen turns off is there is a certain amount of transfer present.

i kinda went a little off your topic, but i thought it relevant to explain how i know it is possible for the nay sayers.
[General Questions and Answers] sake40:
I just tried it out and I can get the hotspot to activate with data on and then go turn data off and it won't automatically turn off my hotspot. I will have to try it with the Apple TV in a few days and see how well it works.

I dont known if anyone cares. But I recently used plastidip on the back of my phone. What I've gained from it was grip which is a total plus and protection. But if anyone decides to do it. Use duplicolor custom wrap colors don't matter.

And it's actually holding up really well.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chrisjm00:
Plastidip can be ok. Make sure you get a couple coats on there and let it fully dry between each coat. It has a tendency to peel if not done properly.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Michael_P:
Make sure you not connecting to any router at the same time because when miracast connects it also connects to the nearest wifi hotspot you have saved and that will cause serious lag and picture breakup on hd videos.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] seanvree:
Yeah, i would HIGHLY suggest not doing MIracast. I tried for +1 years trying to get it to work. BLUF: if you have a rooted device, good luck. I don't see the benefit of Miracast now that Chromecast supports screen mirroring (which works flawlessly). IMO.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] argolfermd:
Is there anything special you had to do to make your S5 work with the Chromecast? I can't get the mirror option (or whatever it says) to show up in my Chromecast app. I have an S5 Active.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] seanvree:
No, mine worked right out of the box which was surprising since I have a custom ROM and kernel.

I just reached my 'thanks' limit.. so I'm gonna tell you thanks instead of pressing the dagum button. :highfive:

Firmware package is necessary to have the lastest kernel, trust zone, etc...

No. Since our bootloaders are locked, an all in one rom flash would brick you. That, and safestrap (as far as I know) does not flash any other partitions other than system and data. Also, flashing those via ODIN is MUCH safer. I've not heard of anyone bricking from flashing a corrupted image via ODIN since ODIN verifies the MD5.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BeansTown106:
jasmine was built from pulled aka dd'd partitions from an updated phone this was built from the factory images straight from samsung untouched. only difference other than what is listed in op is possibly better symlinks etc. as i read mr. hyde was having a problem with reboot command because of symlinks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mdonnelly1127:
So... I should flash this over jasmine? O mean whatever you think beans I always appreciate everything you do and go with what you say buddy. Now if I flash this since I have jasmine already on NE9 I can just flash this in SS without any complications or do I have to flash kernels and firmwares again?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I would say not to dirty flash this since this is an official base compared to jasmine's pulled base.

Once you've flashed NE9 firmware, you never need to flash it again... unless you downgrade to NCG. But yeah once you're on NE9, you're good. :good:

After you flash the rom you'll end up in safestrap with options. Just select "reboot" then select "download" and you'll end up in download mode. Next plug your phone in and flash in odin.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
The only significant thing I'm aware of is a fix for the Fake ID vulnerability.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zoandroid:
Thanks for the info. I had not heard of the Fake ID issue, so I looked it up online. The article I read has the following statement within it:

"Initial testing with BlueBox's own app shows that the European LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 are not affected by Fake ID. We've reached out to the major Android OEMs to find out which other devices have been updated."

So aside from nixing the ability to root with SafeStrap, this OTA prevents something that doesn't affect us anyway. Way to go Verizon. :) How about something truly useful next time?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
My observations were based on my own personal testing. NCG tested positive for the Fake ID bug with both the BlueBox Scanner app and an app that intentionally has an invalid signature chain as a proof-of-concept test. After flashing NE9 I ran the same tests again and both tests showed the device as not being vulnerable. I don't know what article you're referring to, but my guess is they were using an S5 with newer/updated firmware. You have to remember how bad Verizon is with updates. It might have been fixed from the factory on all other S5 variants except the Verizon one. Just because an article states something about the S5 doesn't not necessarily mean it's the case for the Verizon-specific S5 (or any other model for that matter as firmware versions vary greatly based on carrier and country).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zoandroid:
Very interesting. So I obtained Bluebox Scanner and ran it myself. The FakeID bug is indeed a vulnerability on my S5 running the rooted stock NCG software. I guess it doesn't pay to rely on some "articles", does it? :) Perhaps as you suggest they were making a sweeping statement assuming all S5s had been updated to stop the issue.

I have succeeded in flashing this NE9 ROM as per the instructions. I'm making its first nandroid now.

As I now understand it, once you use Odin to flash the NE9 firmware/bootloader, you can NOT use any NCG nandroids. To go back to restoring an NCG nandroid, one would have to use an NCG-based ROM installation method similar to the instructions for this ROM, which would flash NCG first, and then Odin the NCG firmware/bootloader file (there's a link to it in this thread) again. Only THEN could an NCG nandroid be used again. Do I have this right?
