Did you guys get the microsd writing working with root+sdfix app? It doesn't work for me even though sdfix runs and says fix done. I also tried manually editing the settings file and I am on rom supersamsung v2 which is supposed to be fixed on rom level but nothing works! Which file manager are you using?

And the usb file transfer in either camera or media device doesn't work. I don't know if it is related. I have 128Gb card... I'm ordering original Sammy microsd now if it helps.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvus.corax:
You can thank Google/Android for deciding user needs are irrelevant. The only way you are going to write to the external SD card on an unrooted stock ROM is use Samsung-provided tools like their lousy file manager and gallery. Third party apps are useless unless you are willing to root and ruin your warranty.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] OverSu:
Hi everyone ;)

Well, I'm trying to build my first rom today, and after a lot of tutorial, still something I don't understand.

So, I want to start with the last AOSPA and for now, I don't really know how to put in the local_manifest file. I have found some Github with android_device_samsung_klte source (I guess ?), but I see a lot of local_manifest (for aospa) with vendor = pa_klte. Someone can explain me that ? x)

Other question, what's the command "brunch" is ? Seems to be used to build, but my Linux didn't recognize it...

So, to sum up, I looking for someone who had already build an AOSPA Rom, in order to help me to build the klte build ! :D

Hey guys,

For the past month my Note 3 is having issues streaming audio via bluetooth to any device. While the screen is on,no problem. Once the screen is off you'll hear skipping in every single song and it's getting real annoying. I'm not rooted but did boot into the stock recovery and wiped cache but no improvement whatsoever.

Greetings,

I guess that I flashed the wrong region stock rom for my sm-n900

Imei, baseband, and all the other information that should appear at status is showing unknow.

I found on my download history, a rom that I flashed about 3 months ago, the link was broken, and I don't have this file anymore. The filename was: N900XXUDNC1_N900OJVDNA3_XFE.zip

The current rom that I flashed is: N900XXUENH1_N900OJVENG2_XSG.zip (gues that is wrong region for my phone)

Any way to discover what is the correct rom that I should download? (now that most information shows as unknown at android status)

Btw, I was 'trying' to fix the no signal/no sim that suddenly appeared on my phone. Planning to rule out all the software problems before going for hardware.

thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bradjfowler:
Hi,

I am having an absolute nightmare trying to get my brand new 838 to recognise GSM with a Telstra SIM.

It doesn't even ask for a pin, which leads me to think it's not even recognising there's a SIM in there. I can't get into phone setup options and on a very rare occasion (2 out of about 50) it goes to the pin entry on the phone screen and says it's an unrecognised SIM error. So I call telstra because the dopod customer service guys is apparently on hols until the 7th Jan.

First, they told me my old 2G SIM wouldn't work, so off I pop and get a NextG one. No dice..

Then I finally (after15 hours) got an activation for the aussie member's area at dopod and found out you have to put this netwiz.dat in the my documents folder of the device, so I do. No dice..

So I download the ROM update, even though it says the phone is already that version. No dice..

Then, another telstra tecchie says that even though my phone contract is with them, they don't support the handset so they basically don't want a bar of it, but they did tell me that as far as they know, all dopod are locked to 3. I have used the add/remove option to delete the 3 smartphone program from the device but, you guessed it. No dice..

Has anyone else had this problem, or is anyone able to offer some advice? I'm about to throw the damn thing against a wall in frustration. :mad:

Thanks

Dopod 838pro's bought from 3 stores in australia are locked (via the radio) to the 3 network. removing the '3' apps wont do the trick. therefore it wont recognise any other sim, e.g. telstra, vodafone or optus.

the only Hermes device sold in Australia that is not locked to any network is the Imate JASJAM.

to unlock your dopod 838pro to use with Telstra you will have to (at your own risk) unlock it (see the wiki for info) - but this may void your waranty.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bradjfowler:
I have tried flashing the ROM with version 23 and also 30 of dopod and also with a jasjam ROM. I keep getting a vendor error, even with the dopod ones.

The phone was purchased from a company called corporate express, not from 3, so I can't see why it should be locked.

Can anyone offer some advice on the flashing issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
This is not my field so this may be inappropriate for you, there is reference to the vendor error on this page - have you seen it??

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jasjamming:
from what I know, dopod 838pro are sold exclusively by 3 Australia (and other licensed resellers in collaboration with 3)

Imate jasjams are sold by telstra (and other licenses resellers such as computer world)

Have you got a friend with a 3 USIM? If so, best is to try to see if your dopod recognises the sim first.

if it doesnt, then there is something else wrong with the device.

In regards to flashing, it all depends on the bootloader you have. if you have 1.04 then you can flash any of the roms. but if you flash a rom with a bootloader 1.06 or higher, then you cannot flash to a rom with a different CID. you might want to CID unlock your device. Please viist the wiki and also visit the STICKY thread in the upgrading section of thes forum which presents a tutorial.

Cheers,

Ronny
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] icemantwilight:
Considering you haven't got any sim to work in your phone, perhaps it's faulty?

I know some older GSM sim's wont work in 3g phones. Mine is 2 years old and works fine however. If it's not recognising the sim and giving you a clear error about being locked, I'd suggest you send it back for repair.

I was also told by 3 that the phones are not locked but you must buy them with some kind of contract due to their low price.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sol95:

I have the jasjam that i got throgh telstra, they will always tell you you need a next G sim card even when you dont. i am using a 3 year old sim in it and it works fine

however i dont get UTMS at all (not so bad considering how much it costs)

if i remeber correcttly it had to do with them chaninging voltages about 5 years ago that meant you could fry your sim
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bradjfowler:
Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm going to try unlocking it with IMEI-check and see how I go. If it still doesn't work, I'm sending it back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KevinBaker:
Dunno why you're bothering paying to unlock; you can unlock the DoPod 838 Pro free with pofs tool (as you can downgrade - you're having problems, but you have not tried to fix them?).

The first batch of DoPods delivered to Three were not simlocked, later batches are.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] walshieau:
incorrect... i bought my dopod 838 Pro from Expansys AU and is unlocked running a telstra sim and also a vodafone sim...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sol95:
Do you have any information that the later batch are simlocked, or just your assumption? Because my Dopod 838Pro is from the latest batch (with latest firmware) and is unlocked...

It's more likely that all the Dopods, irrespective of which batch they're from, are all not locked to any telco.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sol95:
HEHE

I'd be mighty upset if I bought a phone outright from a non three (or any other telco) dealer and it was locked!

I think the reference was to Dopods sold through three...but the point still stands as they seem to be unlocked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KevinBaker:
Its my information from someone who owns and runs a Three shop, and is very much in with the developments (i.e. not just a bum who owns a shop, he works with them in a higher level too). Apparently it was a problem with the distro, and they were meant to be locked, and it would be rectified in the second batch shipped to Three.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I too have a dopod 838 from three and it works with all other carriers sims. Maybe the problem is that the dodpod has its band set to umts exclusively and unless you use the registry hack mentioned in the wiki (or by secureGSM) the band tab will not appear to allow changing to other bands. This is a problem for all user's of three because their network is limited and the phone can't go into roaming mode without the band setting modifications.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rambler76:
OdeeanRDeathshead is correct.

the latest Aus 1.30 firmware hides the network bands.

use the reg hack to unhide it and set it to auto and auto.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bradjfowler:
Thanks for all the feedback folks.

The helpful gents at IMEI-Check inform me that the radio is buggered, which is why nothing will flash and I can't sort the phone out. I'm sending it back to the store for a new one which will hopefully work as designed out of the box.

Will keep you posted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jcrayon:
This is not true. I purchased a Dopod838Pro from Techoni that was unlocked out of the box. It came with ROM 1.30.707.4 which I was quite happy about.

I pulled my 2 year old Optus SIM out of my Nokia, stuck it into the Dopod, and everything worked happily.

Just for your information,

Vodafone Australia now sell Dopod 838 pro's. I'm picking mine up this afternoon.

Ive used the Telstra JasJam and 3's Dopod 838 pro so it will be interesting to see what customisation they have done and if it is locked in any way.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Christopher4tw:
I needed help with a problem, and XDA is the best place, in my mind, to help:

The Story:

As of yesterday, and until May, I am in possession of a chromebook (HP-14 model). It is registered to my school, and the system has it on lockdown. On lockdown, it is almost useless for me (I love tinkering with stuff, as I am a member of this website). I want to boot from USB.

So far, the only way to boot from USB that I have found is this here, which tells me I need to be in developer mode. Easy stuff. I run into trouble when getting to dev mode it will delete all local data. This will take all of the school's administrator settings and configurations off, which will not be acceptable when I turn the laptop back in.

The Point of the Post:

This is what I really need help with:

1) How can I backup all the settings and configurations (and restore them)? (not just files, files are easy)

--Preferably something like a recovery on an android device where I can just restore before turning it back in.

2) Is there another way (without losing data) to boot into USB?

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rbheromax:
OK

I'm sure you want have control over your chromebook

I did this last year (my senior year)

seriously

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Christopher4tw:
Thanks so much for the link. My questions are: What was deleted when you went to developer mode? And how did you get it back to original condition before returning to the school?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rbheromax:
nothing was deleted

once signing back in using school account, it'll sync school wifi passwords, school information and all that

you can add a ubuntu chroot to the hard drive and use that in parallel (someone who isnt me used this to cheat on every test :P )

to remove it, just restart chromebook. press spacebar. it'll wipe the chromebook completely
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Christopher4tw:
Thanks again, I think I am going to try it. All I need is to be able to boot from USB. Last question (I am hesitant just because I am part of the pilot program for these notebooks, and I really don't want to get caught modding): When the notebook (HP 14 model) is wiped, I will be able to sign in on my account and all of the original school restrictions and WiFi password will be synced? (In other words, you are suggesting all of the restrictions are saved with my school Google account)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rbheromax:
you'll have to play with it a little bit. i was part of my school's pilot program. Didn't get caught, although they suspected but couldn't prove it because of how I said you can wipe it so fast. All the restrictions are saved with your Google Account yes, but with a chroot you can switch between normal chrome os and ubuntu with a keypress and hide it whenever. Deniability is key.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Christopher4tw:
I think you are now my favorite person. That is hilarious. If I may ask, what state did you go to high school in (or high school if you want to put that out there)? I believe I am really going to enjoy this chromebook program. I already have a bootable Ubuntu USB flashdrive, so that's the root (pun intended) I want to take. I really appreciate the help.

With stuff like this, you will. When you have to turn it back in you will miss it. I know I do...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Christopher4tw:
Didn't work. My friend tried it before I could and the chromebook said developer mode was disabled by administrator and then was directed to the setup screen where he just put in his username and password and it told him he was just enrolled again (I'm sure the administrator was notified when he was re-enrolled).
