I've CID unlocked my Qtek 8500 and installed new ROM 3.6.251.0. Thanks Zone, great work!

Maybe it would be useful to write more detailed instructions, so here it is :

1. Application unlock your phone using regeditstg and do the following :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 2 -->Change the value data from 2 to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 16 --> Change the value data from 16 to 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 --> Change the value data from 128 to 144

Reboot the phone

2. Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock tool. Reboot the phone after it finishes.

3. Download itsutil.zip from http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html , version from 2005-6-28. There is even newer version, but with that version you can not use pdocread without arguments.

4. Connect the phone with activesync

5. Run Command Prompt, go to subfolder named "build" in itsutils folder, and run pdocread without arguments

6. Note the value of "uniqueid". It will be something like : "00 00 00 00 12 03 02 14 3b 07 1b b2 04 05 07 54"

7. run pdocread again with these arguments : "pdocread -n 1 0x000000 0x10000 -b 0x4000 original-bdk1.nb". This will make original-bdk1.nb file in build folder (where the pdocread is located).

8. Upload this file and value of uniqueid to http://www.spv-developers.com/strtrkCID/. It will open a new page after few seconds. Go to bottom of the page and click the link "Download patched BDK1"

9. Download the file (it will be named like "supercidxxxxxxx.bin) to "build" folder

10. Run the pdocwrite from command prompt with these arguments : "pdocwrite -n 1 supercidxxxxxxx.bin 0x000000 0x10000 -b 0x4000". Replace supercidxxxxxxx.bin with the original name of downloaded file from step 9.

11. Wait 15-20 seconds and that is it. Reboot the phone and install the ROM you like :)

It works! I've got now 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 on my Qtek!

Thank's, damird, your guide is unreplaceble for such lamers like me :)

But maybe anyone can suggest me were can i find and how to install (if it possible) Russian t9 or only russian lang to input? Or maybe how to rollback to original ROM with this that lang... (1.02.261.1)

Thank's

Problem's gone, Russian T9 added.

Hello, can you share with us this script to calculate CID area in StarTrek?

With this script we can SimUnlock the StarTrek very easy (at least I think...)

Thank you very much.
[HTC Startrek] sokelut:
I'm confused here... is CID unlock not the same with SIM unlock?

my carrier is tmob but I'm getting cing 3125 at ebay so I need to SIM unlock the phone for it to work on tmob right?
[HTC Startrek] yes200218:
wow, pof, I can't wait for it! i had bought one herald in China but wireless was disable by default. I hope I could unlock the CID and get a WWE rom to enable the wireless.
[HTC Startrek] donshula:
Correct, you still need to pay to carrier unlock the phone. Check the wiki for links to a few services that are known to work.

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][4.4.4] -PA - AK Kernel - F2FS- [OnePlus One]. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negen+1:
Is it required that he give full credit to ak when he did not include ak in his rom it is flashed separate. It would seem that any f2fs ready kernel should work assuming it had a compatible ramdisk. He is not redistributing the ak-kernel just linking to the official ak site with a kind recommendation to use his kernel.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negen+1:
Thanks for this rom. Finally a f2fs rom with working ART. Testing with the new avalon kernel and every thing is just fine. Just wanted to people to know that more than just ak kernel works with this rom and it seems to me that many f2fs kernels are working with this rom. The neo kernel is also working although I did not test for long enough with this rom but neo also has some interesting things going on in his kernel v27 had good battery life when i tested it on the previous f2fs rom I was using. So far every thing seems to be going great keep up the good work and thanks for bringing us another f2fs rom to play with.

Had you followed the rules you would have found that it all depends on your personal setup. The apps you have installed, settings you have set up, Area you live in and even how you use your device all effect your battery.

A search would have told you to try them all out and make up your own mind.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchype:
So Here's the deal...

I want to start livestreaming games again. I miss it a lot... used to do it all the time in college where I had a decent internet connection with no issues with it being reset.

however, since moving back home, I no longer have nearly a fast enough home connection, nor can I get one in the area that I live...

So I've been using my LG G3 LTE/CDMA for internet... and while it does great, gets decent ping and gets decent download and upload speed overall.... after Verizon realizes that I've been uploading too much for too long... there is a command sent to my phone's radio that automatically resets it... it takes so long that it's almost like the command completely restarts the LTE modem in the phone (similar to a reboot)

My question is: ... How can I block my phone from receiving such commands? or at least is there a way I can modify commands to do other things? .... I'd love to know since I kinda want to get back into streaming...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammerchucker:
Just wondering as i have been fairly concious about where/how i set my phone down. It looks like there is just minutely enough bezel so the glass doesnt the surface touch when you set it down though i am not certain of this.

I was wondering what the glass is made of (saphire?).

The phone is so beautiful as it is that i dont want to hide it under a case.

[Android Apps and Games] alamtabrez:
The first time a guest mode was revealed for any android device was with the launch of LG G2 series phones. This feature was advertised so well in the media. I also bought an LG G2 at that time (not for this feature alone) as it was a great phone. I realized that a little over six months had passed and I seldom used the Guest Mode feature on the phone.

The guest mode in G2 and the one in the upcoming Android L (5.0) is something that is too apparent in nature. What I mean is that any adult who is given a phone in the guest mode will easily be able to come to know that they do not have the full access to the phone. In cultures (like India), it will be considered very rude in case I lent a phone to another user in Guest Mode. Also, what do you do when you Dad asked you for your phone, you surely cannot give him in Guest Mode (this will make him more suspicious).

This was the practical challenge when I decided to make an app for myself, the app that I have been using is similar to an app locker. However, it has been added with a screen lock as well. I chose two different types of passwords (one master and another guest). The app allows me to chose all the applications that I consider private and want to be locked (such as emails, whatsapp, other chats, picture gallery etc). When I unlock my screen using the master password, the screen gets unlocked and all protected apps get unlocked as well. When I give my phone to someone else, I just give them my guest password. The screen gets unlocked normally using the guest password, however, all the protected apps continue to be locked. This helps me easily give my phone to others.

When I gave the app to my friends, the kind of response that I received was overwhelming. So launched it for public as well. You can download the app for free from Google Play. Just search for Pluggdd on Google Play, it is the only app on Pluggdd as the developer.

Looking forward to feedback from you all developers on what is missing in the app and what more features can I add.
[Android Apps and Games] alamtabrez:
The new Guest Mode of Android L is a dissapointment

Hi All,

Even I was waiting very eagerly for this version of Android and the Guest Mode feature. There are a lot of times when my kid uses the phone or some one borrows the phone to make a call. With the battery life of smartphones being so small these days, people borrowing phones is common.

However, I was always worried what all they may see on my phone once I loan it to them. The same was when my kid was using the phone. Once he clicked a picture of mine and sent to a random whatsapp group.

However, I must say that the new Guest Mode feature does not meet my expectations. There are a few reasons why:

1) The switch from Normal Mode to Guest Mode is not seamless. You need to get to Settings (which is a two step procedure), then go to 'Users' and from there switch on the Guest Mode. This easily takes a few seconds.

2) The switching of user takes more than 2-3 seconds.

3) Anyone can easily find that they are in Guest Mode (because the phone is completely empty, no history of calls, no phone numbers, virtually nothing). As a result of which apart from a kid, anyone can tell that you have switched modes of the phone. With the kind of friends and colleagues that I have, that would raise more suspicion and leg pulling than giving them the phone in full access.

I was always looking forward to this solution. However, I think I will continue to use the app that I have been using. The app locks all my applications that I deem need to be protected. It gives me two passwords to unlock the screen. When I open the lock screen with a master password, the screen gets unlocked as well as all the locked applications get unlocked too. When I lend my phone to someone, I open the screen using a guest password and only the screen and unprotected apps get unlocked. All the protected apps, such as my emails, chats, facebook; continue to be locked. This is so much of a relief, as the no one comes to know that they do not have full access to the phone. What I have read on their page is that they are also coming up with a fake crash in Guest Mode, that would be lovely.

In case you are interested, you can get the app for free from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker).

Anyone else having this issue. Not sure when it started as I didnt send an image up until today.

Yesterday did an unlock and root on mine. Just says "queue for sending" then after 5-10mins it says couldnt send. I also cant receive mms of course. It says "message not downloaded". Im on t-mobile and I already checked their site for mms and lte/4g apn settings. I also redownloaded the settings from within the phone. its a D6653

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasat:
Try Textra, IMHO, it's a lot better than Sony's app (And most outthere BTW) and just go to MMS settings and select the option that says something about T-Mobile Wifi calling Fix. What this does is turn-off/on the wifi while it sends or receive an MMS. T-Mobile seems to be having tons of issues with MMS while in Wifi.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukeofhentai:
No typos. Data and sms work. And I am at work right now and tried to send a mms to see if it was the wifi sip calling but it isn't.

Try adding MMS Proxy

I've had to add MMS proxy and port to apn:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epoise:
I also am having problems with MMS.

I don't really live in an area with great service, so I really rely on Wi-Fi calling. On my Galaxy S5, I had to use the stock message app to actually be able to do anything with MMS over Wi-Fi. Now with the Z3, MMS does not really work at all. I keep getting "Message not downloaded" for any MMS I recieve, excpet for one picture I was able to get. Any MMS I get does not stay in a group chat, but goes into their respective contact chat.

I tried Textra, but I wasn't able to get any of my MMS messages to send. I went into the settings and checked a few boxes, but that didn't really do anything.

Hopefully our problems have the same resolution.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Alright Duke,

Where did you go to download the internet and mms settings?

Once you got them, what'd u do next? I got to the "Edit access point" screen but it's all greyed-out so I can't choose anything. I have "Developers Options" enabled too btw. So how do I bypass that grey-out like you did??

Do I need to be rooted?

So you have no more issues with sending/receiving photo text msgs? What about from iPhones? I'm only having mms issues with iPhone phones right now.

Thank You,

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukeofhentai:
To download the settings you need to go to settings->more->Internet Settings. That downloads them after go to Mobile Networks->Access Points Names and then you can click the three dot on top to edit the one you pick.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
When I go to Settings and then More, I DO NOT see "Internet Settings" anywhere on that screen, or in 3-dots menu button.

Did you have an issue with receiving MMS messages from iPhones?? Please answer this question. If not, then this method prob won't help me anyway. I'm having an issue with receiving MMS messages from iPhones only. Still get SMS from iPhones, and regular and MMS msgs from Android.

Thanks,

Didn't have problems with tmobile with my iPhone. Only my android did but that fixed it for me. Idk what android you are using or if you're still using iphone. You didnt give enough info
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
I have T-Mobile too but only have the Z3. I don't own an iPhone. When I send MMS pics to iPhone it DOES go through, but I can't receive FROM an iPhone the MMS messages.

I'm using regular Android (Build #: 23.0.D.1.123). You?

I want to do what you did, but I don't see that "Internet Options" screen you do after clicking on More. So I can't proceed from there. I can get to "Access Point Names" but after that I can't edit APN there.... I can only create a new one. But without that downloaded info, I don't know if it will work? Maybe.

I just decided to create a new one and take my chances. But I added in what you had in your screenshot, including the admin thing (I hope that's not a root thing) and also IPv4/IPv6. Waiting for one of my iPhone friends to MMS me and hopefully it works!!

Edit: It didn't work. lol I just had him tap on msg before sending and choose "Send as a text message". Then it goes through as a regular text msg NOT as an iMessage. That DID work. So either iPhone users must do that for me or else turn off stupid iMessage. lol

Very excited to hear about your fix. Many thanks for sharing! Before I go ahead and follow your instructions, I was just curious whether this fix has "stuck." I recall a few others, when attempting other fixes, experience a reversion back to the same MMS issues.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Hey yesjohnterry,

Thanks! And YW!!

Well it's been about 2 months now, and my phone STILL works flawlessly! So yes, it DEF has stuck!! :victory:

Yeah sometimes that stuff happens, but it fortunately hasn't for me. ALL issues mentioned in my post are now resolved, even the "iMessage MMS" issue, which was super annoying. I still don't really get why the fix for that one worked, but it did.

Now I haven't received Lollipop 5.0.2 yet, but there appears to be a very strong chance I will this month. I would recommend using that Sony PC Companion program to install the 5.0.2 (major) update vs doing it the OTA way. If you really wanna be sure of no issues, you can also try doing a factory reset using that program after installing 5.0.2 with it as well. I know one guy on here who does that (not for small updates, but big ones like these), but my theory is that if you use that program to factory reset the phone once, and get the major updates from it as well, you shouldn't need to again, but I don't know for sure. I guess I'll know more once Lollipop finally gets deployed by T-Mobile! (I'm gonna skip the factory reset when I get 5.0.2 via PC Companion and monitor the phone closely for a couple months after that. I'm hoping for no errors!)

Let me know if you have any issues, and also if it works or not!

Hey eebovipe and Rockstar2005,

I just wanted to confirm that it has been over a month since I tried Rockstart2005's proposed fix and my phone has (finally) been working flawlessly. Perhaps, as Rockstar2005 suggests, something went awry when following the instructions.

On another note, Rockstar2005, have you installed the OTA update? Did you use the desktop software or another procedure?

Thanks again!

Matt
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Hi yesjohnterry,

I'm really glad to hear that all has gone well for you! Very cool!

Have you gotten Lollipop yet? I JUST did last Wednesday. I've noticed that since getting it (and doing the factory reset, which I'll get to in a second), I no longer have to disable VoLTE on my Z3 in order for Smart Call Handling and MMS to work properly, nor do I have to use those alternate APN settings anymore fortunately! I've also DISABLED the stock messenger completely. Seems like Sony really came through with their own fixes which they'd obviously attached to the Lollipop update.

Yeah I downloaded and installed Lollipop via Sony PC Companion, NOT OTA. I'd read that people who did it via PC Companion reported LESS issues occurring than those who accepted the upgrade via OTA, so I did it that way.........the way it says to in my main post, which includes a factory reset. For smaller updates though, I'll prob still use PC Companion, but just for updating, not a factory reset. We'll see how it works. If an issue comes up, I always have that option. It seems like extra work, but I'd rather do that than buy a Samsung. lol (F physical home buttons!)

The screen is straight forward to replace, but you will need a good replacement 3M adhesive tape (2mm AND 3mm BLACK! Not clear!).

Also, make sure you head up the old screen with a heat gun before attempting to remove it - it is pretty fragile.
