One does not simply flash a modem from a different d2, you said you have a t999 therefore its not LTE capable... Only the T999L is capable of LTE ... Try flashing modems meant for the T999 like VUENC2 which is the latest... You'll find it on docholiday's modem thread
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] owura143:
Thank you for the response. I will try your suggestion. How do I resolve the issue of unknown IMEI. As I said earlier, I backed up EFS prior to all these problems but I just cannot figure out how to restore it> I have tried the the emulator, copied directly from my desktop, EFS backup pro, but none has been helpful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thirdzcee:
Well pray that its only showing that because of incompatible modem and flashing correct modem will fix it, honestly I have no idea , I never had an imei wiped before...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] owura143:
I tried flushing modems as you suggested but it did not work. Thanks for your help though. Anybody else. Please help me out. I need to figure out how to restore the back up of my EFS folder. There are a few files in the folder. One folder says IMEI and and I also have an EFS.img file saved to my desktop. Please help me.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] CursedCake:
After searching a guide about this on internet for weeks (without any result), i decided to post my own guide about Permanently Rooting a L9 II mounting KitKat (it also include two little scripts made by me, to simplify the process to newbies) :good:

[COLOR="DarkRed"]DISCLAIMER: I DONT TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE[/COLOR]

P.S: You need ADB to be installed on your Computer.

1)Install TowelRoot (go to TowelRoot website with the L9 II and press the red Lamba, it will start the tr.apk download)

2)Open the "TowelRoot" application and press "make it Ra1n"

3)Install "Super User" and "Total Commander" from PlayStore

4)Enable "USB DEBUG" in "Developement" setting's

7)Download "init.engdo.post_boot1.sh" and place it in C:

6)Download and open Permanent_D605_KK_Root_Part1.bat

7)Open "Total Commander" , go into /system/etc/ , delete the original "init.engdo.post_boot.sh" and rename "init.engdo.post_boot1.sh" to "init.engdo.post_boot.sh"

8)Download and open Permanent_D605_KK_Root_Part2.bat

9)Enjoy :D

If anybody will ask for it, i'll upload a standalone .exe to do all this ;)

P.S: I'm kinda new to XDA and English is not my motherlanguage, sorry about any mistake i could've made :p

Erorr

When i try to push file init.engdo.post_boot1.sh with root_part1.bat CMD says: remount failed: Permission denied or failed to copy C:/init.engdo.post.boot1.sh to /system/etc//init.engdo.post_boot1.sh : read-only file system
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] composerkaumann:
Much easier instruction.

Most of the instruction in the first post is unnecessary.

1) you do NOT need any computer at all

2) no USB debug needed (because you do not need a computer)

3) two .bat files are also unnecessary to download

All you have to do is to replace init.engdo.post_boot.sh file, which resides in /system/etc

You DO need:

1) towelroot installed

2) a file manager with root capability (I used Root Explorer for example)

Instruction:

1) download the init.engdo.post_boot1.sh, using the link in the first post- download it to your phone SD

2) open the file manager with root permissions enabled, /system/etc must be accsessible for read/write

3) copy init.engdo.post_boot1.sh to /system/etc (using the file manager running on your phone)

4) delete init.engdo.post_boot.sh in /system/etc

5) rename init.engdo.post_boot1.sh that you copied to /system/etc to init.engdo.post_boot.sh

6) reboot

All this is great! But, you forgot one important thing:

TOWELROOT does not work on version 20D (which is increasingly represented)

But here you have an explanation for v20D so who wants to try:

forgetting...

I did not know the 20D issue so I also could not have forgotten it.

Thanks for info. I just checked, indeed, I have 20A. Towelroot and the permanent root trick work in my case.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] CursedCake:
Thanks for the feedbacks :D

I know it can be done more easily using a file manager on the phone, but i tried to make the process easier for newbies (I'm still a newbie too, i did it for myself because i was lazy, but i decided to post it , hoping to help someone :P)

Thanks koxyman88, i didn't know about that :D

Mmmm strange, are you sure you have SuperSU installed, and TowelRoot started before restarting? (TowelRoot's Root disappear after reboot, and so SuperSu binaries)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] composerkaumann:
the question is ... WHY?

I want to point out that I did permanently root my D605 with KitKat. Took a bit of effort but actually it was wasted time.

I did finally go back to 4.1.2 software, rooted it, installed TWRP and then Varcain's modified Cyanogen 11. It is so much nicer than rooted stock 4.4.2. All the efforts of rooting Kitkat and keeping the root were unnecessary exercise.

Because the Varcain's image does not have any bloatware I could even switch from Dalvik to ART and still have enough free space on phone.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magdelaine:
Hi everyone,

My husband just got a used Note 3 and I'm trying to determine the best way to configure it for him. He's on 4.4.2 and I've rooted it using towelroot. I'm not really interested in installing safestrap to load the latest 4.4.4 unless there is a compelling reason to do so, so maybe you could give me an opinion on this? If I don't go that route, I'd like to make sure that the OTA update doesn't occur accidentally. Is there any way to permanently block OTAs on the Note 3?

~Elaine
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool79346:
To block OTAs, all I did was use TiBu to freeze the SDM app. I've also verified that thawing it will allow the OTAs again so you won't be doing any damage to do it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirak99:

Hi. I got my tablet not long ago. But I have some issues with sd card and video. It behaves strange. Sometimes i can't play even regular video files on sd. Even same video file. It shows cant be played, even with different players. And i cant download files from torrents on sd. What can be a problem? Thank you.

I have sd samsung pro 64gb class 10.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schoofi:
Have you rooted and thus full access to the sdcard?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evgencheg:
No I didnt.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schoofi:
I am also new to the Android world but I think this is the problem. Google denies read write access to the SD card for non-Google apps, like file explorers or video players. Would be great if someone else can confirm
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldrighi:
I guess your video files are corrupted. that usually happens with unfinished torrent's files. double check their integrity.

you just can't dwld directly to SD without root. use internal memory instead and move files to SD when finished and you'll be fine.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldrighi:
That's really very strange and I am running out of leads. last thing I would consider is to format the SD using sd format tool as regular fat. but it's just a shot.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Well, that's less bad than what happened to *my* T899M... Have you tried hitting the Windows button to start recovery, as the screen suggests? Alternatively, you may be able to do a boot-time hard reset (the kind done by holding some buttons - I forget which ones, but it's documented online - while turning the phone on) since you were able to get as far as the Windows bootloader.

Without knowing more about what in particular has died, I can't really help.

I hear all the talk about WM6 upgrade that will probally be released by cingular officaly for the 8525 only not the 8125 (Wizard)

I also have heard that the T-Mobile is plaining to release a WM6 update for their verision of the Wizard (MDA I beleive). Is it possible to run the T-Mobile upgrade once it release on a Cingular 8125 and still uses the cingular network.

Basicly flash my cingular 8125 with the MDA upgrade and still use cingular to make calls.

Always check the date of the post and thread,then post a question or answer.You are asking to a post almost two years old.

Ok,now to your question,All the wizard devices are the same in feature,Hardware and work on windows mobile.They are all manufactured by HTC for different vendors,so in fact they all are the same,YES! you can flash any rom to any wizard device,regardless of being it from T-mobile,AT&TT,O2 or i-mate.Basic Rom is the same for all the devices ,i.e windows mobile from Microsoft.The procedure/program will be the same as you did for your T-mobile MDA.

Well since AT&T nor Verizon offer unlimited (data) plans...the deal probably won't be for unlimited plans. Right? You would most likely pay the same as a current subscriber for unlimited.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
If you are in a Spark market and connected to a band 41 (2500 mhz) tower you can get over 40mb downloads. On the other lte bands typical download speeds are between 5 and 10 mb. That is assuming the market is fully launched. Those are the speeds I get in Denver.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
First thing to do is do some homework and see what LTE/Spark services are like in your area where you will be using your phone most. I can say one thing for sure, and that is that Sprint has been doing a lot of upgrades lately and has done a lot since you left two years ago. Service is great in some places and so so in others. For example I live on the edge of tower range and I barely get decent data connection in my house BUT it does work well when i'm in the corner room of my house that's closest to that tower. I get pretty good data speeds and I have a metal roof!!!

Second thing to take into consideration is which is most important to you right now... price/value or known good service with a higher price tag and not unlimited. It's your decision. just do a little research on Sprint coverage in your area and make a choice. I feel like Sprint will stop offering unlimited data for smartphones soon. I'm not getting rid of my unlimited service/plan because from what I've seen and experienced with Sprint since 2008 is night and day difference. Last thing you need to take into account is the new Sprint Spark devices in favor of a regular LTE non Spark device. The data service will be better for a Spark device. So when getting opinions and testimonies and Speed tests from users, find out which device they have along with their location. Good luck.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passthepuck:
Yes, 1/2 off on new members from Verizon or AT&T. All you have to do is take in your phone bill to the nearest Sprint dealer. Sprint has there new TDD-LTE with current download speeds at 60mbps. The same network tested in China and Japan at 150+ mbps. However, the new TDD-LTE network is now in the top 100 markets within the USA. But, I'm not sure if it's in your area yet. However, if you go here: s4gru(dot)com you will be able to determine if the TDD is within area.

But the way Sprint is going, I foresee them setting up a partnership with China mobile and the Network in Japan. This way they might have free roaming within those areas because those networks use a TDD Advanced chip set. Also the thing you might want to think about is the price per share with the top telecoms. Verizon price per share is around $45 and AT&T's price per share is around $35 give or take a dime. If Sprint current price per share is around $4.75 is putting in superior network, odds are really good that Sprint's price per share will go up to at least $25 to $30 in line with the others. But that's just my humble opinion. :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasez:
Thanks for the info but I disagree on Sprint being a $30 stock anytime soon. They made a very stupid purchase of nextel and the wimax rollout was a disaster. They cannot get long term customers because service and phone access to data and voice is worse than ATT and Verizon. No customers, no upgrade money available. Maybe since the Japanese became investors they can survive. I left them 2 years ago after 10+ years of sub par but cheap service. The new plan would save me $75 per month but I am still not sure it is worth it.

I'm going to the Sprint store tomorrow with my AT&T bill and see what they can do for me. Currently I'm with AT&T and have 2 phones in my plan. I've got an unlimited data plan with my phone and my wife has a 2gb plan with her phone. My contract is up so I can go with any carrier I want. The Sprint coverage looks good both at my job location and at home. I'm sure I've have some issues when I take trips up to Vermont.

However, this deal does seem a little too good to be true. Currently I'm paying around $155 for both phones a month. If they can beat that then I'll go with Sprint.

Not saying Sprint is a pos... But you may be disappointed if you get rid of your unlimited att.

Sprint is good in certain markets. I'm in nyc and for the most part it's ok. The other carriers have faster data speeds. I've been with Sprint for almost 10 years and I can say it's been a good ride.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic118:
Hey,

I'm considering unlocking the bootloader of my Xperia Z3 D6603. In the Service Menu, I can see Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes so I assume it'll work.

I'm aware of the camera low-light degradation issues but I've decided that it's not as much of a problem as I initially thought. I was reading this thread from the Z3 Compact forums (I assume everything there applies here), and I'm left with a few questions:

In that thread, some users claim that their audio (from headphones and speakers) sounds noticeably worse with the unlocked bootloader. Still, some users claim that there is no difference. Can anyone here tell me whether or not there is actually a difference in audio quality?

I know about all the low-light problems, but in Manual 20MP mode, are photos from the unlocked bootloader still comparable with photos from the locked bootloader?

I learned that PS4 Remote Play has been ported from the Z3 to other Android devices successfully from this thread in the Sony cross-platform forums. Would using the ported Remote Play from that thread allow PS4 Remote Play to work on an unlocked bootloader? (not too worried about this, just curious.)

I know I'm asking a lot, but I really love this device and I wouldn't want to lose any functionality when unlocking the bootloader. Thanks for your help! :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cube76:
1. For me the sound quality is the same.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaúcho comedor:
My Z3 ia about to be delivered any time now, but I can tell you a bit about my Z1 Compact. I unlocked and rooted it as soon as I got it and never used the official rom. I'm looking at the 3000 pictures/videos I took with it and can see the noise is very similar to what we see on the threads comparing LB/UB pictures. So, knowing that the Z3 has better optics and image sensor than the Z1C, I imagine it'll be fine. I never take pictures in low light conditions because I know they'll suck no matter what.

I'll test the sound issue, but I can't test the PS4 thing because I don't have one.
