I use Android. I don't like the closed nature of Apple, you can't customise it in the way you can with android. Also, Apple devices are, in my opinion, overpriced. I also don't like the who Apple ethos of many (though not all) of the people who have them, you know the "Wow, I'm such an independent unique individual I've got exactly the same phone as everyone else", just feels a bit sheeple to me.

After 1 And half Years past whan you buy iphone you iphone can only use to be telephone only.

Can't install new app laggy with new ios.

Not same as android it better like nexus phone.

If someone don't want to buy android I prefer windows phone is better than ios.
[General Topics] Zac3:
it has been soo long since Samsung Galaxy series hit the market and people starting to accept touchscreen phone in their daily lives. even wearables nowadays. and it does seems that apple is lagging behind a lttle bit.

As far as I can remember, before the Galaxy series, people only using blackberry as a trend. Nokia is everywhere also. So, this past 2 years most of the android architecture has changed. Bigger internal memory, bigger ram, plethora of roms, higher res video and camera. while Apple still with their rehash product.

*cough *cough

"higher 8MP camera, dual-core processor, retina display"

How is Apple lagging behind? Unless you've used any newer iPhone, you can't personally know how smooth iPhones are. They are a different company with a different purpose trying to reach different people. And no I'm not a fanboy. I just am a lover of tech.

I pickup Android because:

1rst: Im a developer of software and consider opensource a great resource for studing.

2nd: Anyone can develop for Android and dont require to be registered and pay for development

3rd: Your source code dont have to be included or send before for some "stupid people" read and approve if all is ok.

4th: You dont need to pay royalities at google for development.

5th: Ok first version of Android has a lot of bugs but you have the source. If you dont like the bugs just correct you yourself.

6th: A lot of devices for choice and someone really goods at really low price.

hail android

I've chosen android because I can't live with apples ecosystem I.e iTunes. I love drag n drop feature.I copy files to my phone very often.I use my buddies PC to load music because they have tons of different music. I don't want my phone just to be synched only with one system. What if I found something valuable media (say my grandma childhood pic)that I like and its not available on Internet and available on my relative PC , how am I suppose to get that on my phone without any hassle.now I love rooting an android phone.

Hi,

I Have a galaxy i9506 (orange france android 4.3),

Phone was unlocked now but I have no network on 2G , 3G finds network just fine.

Any way to fix this? Can I rewrite modem file and then try to unlock with *#0011# method?

If this is posible can someone direct me to a good modem file?

Thank you.

If i write modem is posible to unlock by nck code i supose. I realy need 2g network.

How can I bring the phone to it's original state (locked orange france) so I can the use a NCK code to unlock it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memoryeffect:
Flash the france orange firmware from sammobile's firmware database. Instructions are on the same page as the download. I can't link, sorry.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarepro:
I did that , It kept all my programs and settings intact , root was left intact too. I used odin 3.09 . so nothing happedend after flashing original firmware from sammobile.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galliard:
Complete Refresh

If you have rooted than its very good, wipe everything from recovery and flash complete firmware from odin. Its impossible that root is there, because system,kernel and recovery partitions are overwritten. However su binary app will be there but will not work because data partition remains intact.

Now back to your original problem, i don't know how you unlocked your phone? I am afraid phone's efs is not corrupted, because if everything is good means imei and modem and when phone try to register on network of locked phone then it simply ask code. Check imei, modem and network status, if your phone is registered on network and showing carrier name?

Backup efs partition before playing more because if efs is corrupted than you are finished ! I9506 is qualcomm version so QPST tool can also help in modem related issue, press thanks if it helps :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarepro:
Indeed after reflash i lost root. But the phone is still unlocked and no 2g signal. How can i relock it? The phone was unlocked with direct unlock option from some unlock software... dunno witch one(I bought it already unlocked and rooted )
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarepro:
I searched some gsm forums and found something that is said to work for I9506 too:

SPT BOX forum :

4.4.2 kitkat net probleme after supper imei unlock

connect your N9005 to the Box using USB in ( dm+modem+adb ) mode by dialing *#0808# in Samsung's Dialer ..

1st - Choose N900w8 from the list then click Repair 3G Network this will Fix the 2G network

2 - choose N9005 again and press repair 3G network again this will Fix the 3G network with 2G working too

Unfortunately I don't think anyone in my city has SPT BOX :(( .... i will search some gsm services

Hi , thank U for the info. I must now learn how to use the program to rebuild NV of the phone ( atleast i think that i must do) . never had to do such fixes of any phone. The i9506 was unlocked by direct unlock in z3x box. After that no more 2g connectivity , the phone finds network if I manualy search but cannot connect to it. Sais emergency calls only.

Anyway I think your sugestion will fix my problem .... just have to learn how to use program :)

Thanks again.

I rooted phone , backed up all that I could find to backup in EFS Professional 2.1.73 and after that I tried option "repair NV Data file permisions" "Option to repair NV data file ownership to fix 'Unknown baseband' and 'No signal' issues." .... then big dissapointment .... popup "This option cannot be used with your device! " . Damn I was realy hopeing that the option will repair my 2G signal problem. Seems that I must find another solution .... maybe some other sugestions?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galliard:
When u run efs professional u have 4 options, try 2nd option 'Qualcomm nv tools' . Check information on diagnostic tab and if u see any thing wrong try secure ops tab for ESN / MEID / IMEI repair, also first check that your phone is showing correct IMEI by *#06# which is on behind the battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarepro:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarepro:
Screenshots , Firmware is Official 4.3 Orange France from Sammobile
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galliard:
From snaps, it seems your phone is registered on network and modem is working fine that's why showing correct IMEI. Normally when your phone is not registered on network, shows emergency call and null IMEI then you are unable to call or sms but i can't understand your case. If you are not able to call or sms then try changing different carrier sim or upgarde to latest kitkat 4.4.2, follow this link

P.S. At last post snap of complete status window(in two snaps) from about device.

Those snaps were from 3g Connection..... whitch works just fine.... I upload screenshots with 2G only network..... if I manualy search networks while in 2G it finds all of them.... but does not register on sim carrier network.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galliard:
Afraid

At last i can say your phone efs is corrupt, try manually writing IMEI again from Qualcomm nv tools and flashing kitkat 4.4.2. If don't work then samsung tool (Z3X) or other hardware box can fix efs like u unlock from Z3X box.

This is free tool which offer imei repair, ChimeraTool

Bootloader still hasn't been unlocked yet.
[Verizon LG G3] DrPhant0m:
A locked bootloader will only prevent loading a custom recovery and custom kernels.

I have a Note 3 (wife has a G3), and my Note 3 is still bootloader locked, but I'm able to load Touchwiz-based ROMs that use the stock kernel.

The trick is that a sort-of-custom recovery developed that loads prior to the OS, but not from the locked bootloader environment. (I don't know how it works... it just does.) It's called SafeStrap, and it was developed initially by HashCode.

I'm not sure if something like that is possible on the G3, or if it's a Samsung-only thing. It is a glimmer of hope for a Plan B though.

Good luck to all! I'm looking forward to putting ROMs on the wife's phone.
[Verizon LG G3] BladeRunner:
It's highly unlikely we'll see safe strap for this device A) because Hashcode is no longer working on Safestrap projects as he's focusing on a new career and B) they are still working on unlocking the bootloader. The devs are confident they can get it unlocked, and, failing that, there may be a loki-style by pass so we could still get a custom recovery and anything safestrap like would be unneeded.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
Safestrap is typically only used when a boot loader unlock or bypass is deemed virtually impossible.

I'm also using CloudMagic on my Z2 and apparently, all my emails are synched with it. Somehow, there seems to be an issue only with the stock email client for the Z2.

The stock email app also says that I have 5 unread emails but scrolling through the inbox would not reveal any unread emails as per the image posted.

Hello [MENTION=4817156]shahrulghani[/MENTION].

There seems to be a bug in the latest update from Sony regarding this app.

For a temporary workaround you will have to use other apps like CloudMagic which you mentioned.

Further investigation is required by Sony, and a bug report has been filed.

Here is my full gui tool for creating boot logo files, for a number of Motorola Devices.

You get a preview of the picture, exactly how it would look on your device.

Features

Open Existing Logo.bin files

Open Existing Flashable zip files

Create logo.bin files

Create Flashable zip files

Export images from Logo.bin / Flashable zips.

Instructions

To use, you just double click on the treeview entries, select your picture, and repeat that process for all of the files that would be in logo.bin You then go to File / Save, and then save either as a .bin file, for flashing using fastboot, or as a Flashable zip file, for flashing using TWRP or CWM. In general, boot_logo is used on a factory locked device, and as a result, you probably should clear that one, as you would be wasting your space. logo_battery is your 0-3% indicator when the battery is run dry, and you plug it in to charge. logo_unlock is the actual boot screen logo you see on unlocked devices.

You can also open existing logo.bin files, wither from zip files, or directly, in order to modify them. Custom mode is for the advanced users, or for cases where a new Motorola device is released, where its logo.bin contains files that are not known. This tool auto-detects whether the file is the pre-kitkit format or not, and pictures that are larger than screen resolution, or in the case of pre-kitkat format, 540x540 is automatically scaled down. Upscaling options are provided, but centering the image is the default selection.

Bugs

None that I am aware of. If any are found, report them.

Limitations

The tool will not create any logo.bin files that are greater than 4MiB. This is a device limitation, specifically the logo flash partition is exactly 4MiB in size on all the known devices that I specifically support with this tool. As such, you may have to downscale or reduce the bpp formats of your images, to get them all to fit within the 4MiB.

Version History

Version 2.2 - Released Set 15, 2014

[new] Metadata added to created logo.bin files - The following data is present.

Version of this program that created the bin file. (was present since Version 2.0)

Actually my work, as noted by the direct link to the source code itself. This is just a cross-posted copy.

Hii friend, I donno about source code but you can change only the boot logo with adb fastboot method

steps...

Note : USB Debugging Enabled

1. Go to bootloader mode

2. Then attach USB cable

3. Open command window in directory where your logo.bin file is placed (to open cmd window -> press+hold shift and press right click, select open command window here.)

4. Once in cmd, type fastboot devices, if it shows some device id then type fastboot flash logo logo.bin

That's it.
