[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Just use a reputable website that has strong buyer protections in place.

The problem with what your original post asked about wiping data is what it would not even remotely come close to protecting you from a stolen phone. The original owner doesn't,t need access to the device to kill the imei. The imei is already bad when he gives it to you.

And his refusal to provide the original imei on a written invoice makes this an OBVIOUS fraud.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbauer:
I didn't even know that I had to ask for the IMEI to be inserted on the invoice, I only knew about that now in this topic. I found other two sellers on the same website, with the same product, they said they'd create the invoice and that it's fine, they will insert the IMEI on the invoice. The problem now is that their phones are only 250 - 300 bucks cheaper than the brand new, at least shipment is already included. You guys think I should buy it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
No. We do not think you should buy it.

Its $300 cheaper than anywhere else. There is a reason for that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbauer:
Why not? they already said they would make an invoice.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Its your money. Go ahead.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbauer:
But you said I shouldnt. If he's going to make an invoice, why did you say that? There is gotta be a good reason, you're the expert here and I'm sure that the knowledge you have to share with us is really important, please say it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Its been said plenty in this thread.

The imei can be faked temporarily.

The imei can be totally legit but the phone can still be stolen. It might not even be reported stolen yet. One of the scams is to sell a phone, then report it stolen which gets the imei blocked, then get a new phone through insurance.

The phone is half the price of anyplace else you can find it! That is just not how the free market works. A price that low is suspicious.

Everything you have described about this raises red flags.

Unless the place you are buying it from has ironclad buyer protection policies that are verifiable, you are taking a big risk.

If you don't agree, I don't care. Its not my money. Its not my decision. I'm offering an honest opinion as a disinterested third party. If you buy it I hope it all works out for you. But the odds are much higher that its a scam than if you bought a slightly more expensive one that comes from a more established store.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbauer:
I got your point and I respect your opinion, but 955 is not the half of the price. The new one is 1300. Anyway, I'll buy the new one. Thx again for your help, I really appreciated it. ;)
[G2 General] coolcfan:
I see a thread in G3 original development to Bump! the bootloader. The op uses "unlock" and "different from loki" to describe Bump!.

This looks interesting. I don't know exactly how this method works, but if similar thing can be done to G2's bootloader, maybe we don't need to downgrade&keep using the old bootloader any more.

Here's the G3 link:

Any thoughts?

[G2 General] reas0n:
I don't know, it isn't a full unlock. I'm changing my G2 to N5 soon.
[G2 General] SenK9:
It'd be great to have it, but just curious as a G2 noob, would this add substantial benefit to G2? It appears there's already functional workarounds for the existing bootloader and lots of custom ROMs.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
That's what I'm thinking
[G2 General] vPro97:
Bump isn't quite the same as unlocking the bootloader. It's more like a workaround. I doubt it would benefit us at all - we either need a full unlock or another modifier bootloader running parallel to the regular bootloader, something like the bootloader savoca cooked a few months back.
[G2 General] Raymonf:
Looks a lot like Loki to me.
[G2 General] coolcfan:
What I mean is, could Bump! get us a working custom rom on the phone without downgrading the bootloader?

Then, everyone would upgrade sources to pure 4.4 source, so no more wrong baseband/kernel issue.
[G2 General] Raymonf:
I think you're misunderstood. I can't say anything about the bootloader being downgraded, but the baseband/kernel issue is simply because CM11 is based on 4.2.2 sources. Nothing big.

It has nothing to do with Loki.
[G2 General] coolcfan:
See the description of AutoRec, it mentions "downgrade", and my understanding is, "you need to downgrade to the old bootloader before you can flash any rom if you OTAed/flashed stock 4.4 rom".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715496

The reason that CM11 is still based on 4.2.2 sources I assume? Because we can't lokify the bootloader that stock kk brought.
[G2 General] Raymonf:
Still can't say anything about the downgrade part. Again, there is no real advantage.

Yeah. We can't lokify the KK bootloader. But look at dr87's guide on updating the source thing. Cyanogen was just lazy. While yes, it's KitKat, the other stuff is based on 4.2.2. It's like putting a cover on a binder and adding more pockets inside.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjack77:
Hi people,

A few weeks ago I installed a custom rom. I wasn't pleased with the rom so I searched for another one and I found the venomROM which I liked on previous HTC devices. Their thread states that in order to successfully use the rom you need to have the latest firmware installed. This firmware comes with the HTC OTA's so I reflashed the stock odexed rom from the ARHD website. With this rom I would be able to receive OTA's and there is indeed a software update button in the settings -> about phone menu. I also read that in order to receive OTA's you need to have stock recovery so I flashed it in fastboot.

The problem is that when I hit the 'check for updates' button the phone says "there is no update available for your device". I'm on 2.22.401.4 firmware and I know there is one available because my friend who has the same phone has got the latest firmware (2.23.xxx.x).

What am I doing wrong causing this no update available message?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
That's an ota for the rom, not your firmware. You must flash the firmware. See the guide in development called flashing without panic attacks to upgrade firmware. That's one way anyway.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjack77:
The firmware listed in the thread you mentioned doesn't match my cid number and I can't receive S-off because the tool to do this says so. But I also read that the firmware comes with HTC's OTA
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Yes, you need S-OFF, then super CID, then you can use the thread I mentioned.

You can get S-OFF with Sunshine, but it costs $25. And you need to be stock, or very close to stock rom. A couple will work... Many reports that Maximus rom will work.

And am I confused? You flashed a stock ARHD rom? Cause the "ota" function in roms is to update the rom, not your firmware.

If you can't get S-OFF, then to update your firmware, you need to find a guide for s-on method. I'm not sure, cause I'm relatively new to the M8 still, and have been S-OFF since the beginning.

I think you need to use the proper RUU for your device. Or a backup image for your exact device and flash stock recovery.

Anyway, I'm not an expert on updating firmware on s-on devices. You'll need to check the different guides for that. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjack77:
3435

Well the S-on guides refer to firmware with specifiek CID numbers which doesn't match mine, cause mine is T-MOB003. And that's why I don't know how to update to the latest firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Yup, you need the exact firmware, if you are not super CID.

Not sure how to help with that. A backup image would likely work too if you can find one. Then you'd need the correct stock recovery to flash.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

Life is definitely easier with S-OFF.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjack77:
Well I searched everywhere but can't find exact firmware so far.

I think a RUU would be the easiest option but I also didn't find any RUU for the One M8..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Not sure what else to suggest.

25 bucks, s-off and super CID and you'd be golden though.

That's all I can recommend now.

Unless you can find the firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I believe you will only find RUU for US carrier versions.

If you can't find the firmware for your CID, you will need to s-off by sunshine. Or return to stock ROM and recovery and OTA to Android 4.4.4, if that is currently available for your version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjack77:
Well I managed to S-OFF my device with sunshine!!!, now I can update my firmware to the latest version :D

[P3600 Accessories] shoey5:
The BMW bluetooth kit is not that great, most stock car options like that aren't, even the dealer will tell you that and probably tell you it's only really meant (TESTED) with Motorola phones. If you do get a BMW with a Bluetooth Kit, you're going to need this as far as phone functionality is concerned when it comes to Bluetooth on the BMW, you're going to need Jetware's Bluetooth Extension found here.

http://www.jetwaremobile.com/

The bigger question is why would you bother, it's not like you have that much storage on your Trinity to play audio for music. A better option instead of investing in 3rd party bluetooth options is to get the IPOD option with the kit, this way you have stereo controls and the IPOD sits in your glove compartment so no wires or anything. Not to mention you could always just burn a CD full of MP3, even my stock BMW radio can play MP3's burned onto a CD.

Trinity and BMW

I have a Trinity with the Dopod Test GPS ROM. It pairs perfectly with the BMW system on my E90 320D with Pro Sat Nav, and all the contacts are visible on the Sat Nav screen...most of the time. Last night I could only find those on the SIM Card, but after driving off this morning they are all there again (580 of them). I haven't tried Jetware but it doesn't seem to need it to work.

The Beemer has a 3.5mm audio jack in the console. Get a USB headphone splitter/adapter for your phone and plug your Trinity into this. It will then play through the BMW system.

BMW bluetooth in E91 320d works!

All,

Bluetooth connection works with my BMW 320 Touring (Model E91 from 11/2006) with BMW stock Bluetooth (Feature SA644) and my P3600 (in fact I have a Vodafone VPA Compact GPS running WM5).

The SIM Access profile is enabled using the HTC-provided application "SAP Einstellungen" (probably in English SAP Settings) on the P3600. The P3600 can be operated using the Steering wheel keys (Volume, Receive/Hang up call, show numbers in SIM on the iDrive screen, browse and call numbers and dial numbers using the speech-to-text function of the BMW iDrive). I have the "basic" iDrive system "BMW Business" without the full maps on the iDrive screen, but the Bluetooth feature is the same for both iDrive systems.

BMW has a phone compatibility list and in that list only the MDA Compact III (that is HTC Artemis/P3300) is listed, but all modern HTC phones using BT 2.0 and the SIM Access profile should do. T-Mobile confirmed to me that this also applies to the T-Mobile Vario II (equals HTC TyTN).

Speech quality is like with my old Nokia 6310i, the only catch is that BMW does not offer a charge cradle for extUSB connectors, but a Car-to-USB charger will do. Also, the BMW has a 3,5" Stereo socket in the Console / Phone cradle area to which I connect the P3600 using a 1-to-3 extUSB to 3,5" adapter, then music can be played back using the built-in BMW iDrive stereo system.
[General Topics] Fallingwater:
I just got a tablet that uses a de-Googled Android (Amazon Kindle Fire HDX). I'm aware you can install the Play Store and turn it into a useable tablet, but I wonder if this couldn't be achieved in a simpler way - or rather, a way that didn't require installing the Google framework.

I'm thinking of the Chrome/Chromium plugin that lets you spoof the Play Store and download the APKs straight to your computer. I'd like something similar, but that could run on the device itself, so you could install stuff without needing a computer nearby. Unfortunately Chrome for Android doesn't support the same extensions as the desktop version, so that option is a no-go. I've checked a few apps that claim to download APKs, but they all use the Google API and won't work if the PlayStore isn't already installed.

Any ideas?
