[Android General] Murrfk:
I have two Samsung Rugby I547 phones. One was originally on the Bell network, and the other was originally on Bell's sister network Telus. I have used ODIN to flash them both to stock Telus firmware. Both have been sim unlocked to work on the MTS (Canada) network. So far so good. However, when I tried to enter the APN settings for MTS on ONE of the phones, they would not save. If I then reset it to defaults, three default APNs come up on that phone, none of which are Bell, Telus, or MTS. One is a fidonet APN (which I presume is Fido a sister of Rogers network, which the phone was never on) and there are two other APNs that don't seem to be related to any typical network). My reading indicated that APN settings will not save if they do not match the SIM card.

For reference, when I ask the other phone to reset to defaults, none come up with an MTS sim card installed. I can manually set up the APN and save it.

So I did some research and found that default APNs are located on the APNConf. file in the /etc. So, I modified the APNConf file to include MTS settings on the phone that was blank, and saved it using root explorer, to the /etc folder. And, using the phone that had blank defaults, when I now restored to defaults, MTS showed up. Success on the phone that worked.

So, thinking I had this solved and that some settings in that file must have been wrong, I copied the same APNConf file to the problem phone. With and MTS sim card installed, the defaults still came up as fidonet and the two others.

Thinking there was something wrong the the sim card, I got a replacement. It did not fix the problem. So I reinstalled the original Bell firmware using Odin. Still the same default fidonet, and inability to save the correct settings for MTS Apn.

I have deleted all the APNs. MTS will not save. The only way I can get data to work on the phone is to MODIFY the Fidonet APN, and NOT change the MCC (or MNC?-Cant remember which) setting. When I do this, changing all the settings but one, I can get the settings to save and data worksf but MMS messages will not send.

I thought that default APN were stored on the APNConf file, and what the system does is find the ones that match the MCC and MNC on the sim card, and take the rest of the information from the APNConf. But this does not seem to be happening with the one phone. If anyone has any suggestions or input as to how this works and what might be happening, I would appreciate any thoughts.
[Android General] Murrfk:
I wonder if there might be something over riding the default apn settings such as is described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527434
[Android General] Murrfk:
So I have figured out what is happening. When a sim is inserted into this phone, the phone is re-writing the default values. I have tried it with two SIM cards from my carrier. When installed into the phone, the phone is writing the default values to the ones shown. I know this because we got a new AT&T phone of the same kind, and when we put the existing SIM card into that phone, the Apn defaults again came up as shown. Anyone have any idea how to fix the phone from rewriting the apn settings to the SIM card?
[Android General] Murrfk:
This seems relevant:

http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/19/how-to-delete-locked-apns-on-your-android-device/

But it did not work. With the original sim the wrong apn settings came up. With a different sim, in the same phone, the apn comes up blank.
[Android General] Murrfk:
Okay. This is where things are at as best I can figure out. The phone was a Bell Networked locked phone. However when we first used it, It was on the Rogers network, which would be the same as fido. Some phones also default to chatrweb.net that are on the Rogers network:

http://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/Android/thread-id/11338

Somehow, that original SIM card must have written something to the phone, so that when a new SIM card (in our case an mts sim), is placed in the phone, the phone writes the original Rogers sim apn defaults back to the some card. ( we got a new SIM card from mts and the sim defaulted back to Rogers) and must write a program to do this again (override the sim default values) whenever a new sim is placed in the phone. We now have a new phone, with the second mts SIM card and the default apn are still fido/chatr as shown above. This is wacked as it means the phone is somehow overriding it's default values and the default values on the sims....the phone is writing new values to the SIM card that came from the original SIM card that was placed first in the phone? It seems that AT&T phones did this, but there must be a program on the SIM card that writes this all to the phone? Any way to read the values on the sim without a sim reader using only the phone?
[Android General] Murrfk:
I downloaded SIM card app, which reads the values on the SIM card. Sure enough, that second new mts SIM card has values of 302 370 instead of 302 660. 302 660 is mts. 302 370 is fido. Somehow, the wrong values have been written to the SIM card. Twice.
[Android General] Murrfk:
Solved?i

I think I have this sorted. It turns out that mts has two different mnc numbers: 660 and 370. However, samsung edited the apns-conf.xml file to set the 302 370 values to chatr and fido net. My SIM card was 660 mts. The second sim was a 370 mts. So with one SIM card it would get the nothing as the 660 mnc values were not in the apns-conf.xml file. With the 370 version of the mts sim, The 370 mnc was there but 302/370 was set to three different providers, as shown in the photo, and not set to any of the mts values. So I edited the apns-conf.xml file to correct the settings for 660/370 adding the right ones for mts, and changing the other two to 660/380. Now the defaults should show up properly. I have been working on this for several weeks. Glad I finally had time to move this forward.
[Android General] Murrfk:
And, for anyone following this bouncing ball, make sure you realize that apns-conf.xml is in xml CODE which means you cannot just edit it with a text editor and save it. On my computer, the " were not of the right type...they were the 'curly' quotes, not the 'straight up and down' quotes so the xml program sees that as an error. You can test the code by opening the .xml file in a web browser. Errors will show up on screen, and you will get a blank screen if there are no errors....at least that is what happened to me.

I have been having trouble for a long time with unusual stuff happening on my old Xperia Z2, my Acer laptop, other devices on my network, and now my new Z3 compact also and have a strong feeling my ex-partner is behind it. I went to four computer repair places, brought a new router and contacted a computer forensics company who said it would cost $3000 upwards to get to the bottom of before I pretty much lost hope of regaining my privacy. When I got my new Z3 I created new accounts (Gmail etc) with the exception of Facebook and I changed the email and password for that. When I factory reset my devices they don't seem to go back to the factory settings, this was especially evident on my laptop after having windows reinstalled the first time at a computer repair place and the second time myself from usb it still had the same desktop picture id downloaded as soon as I opened it. Factory reset my z3 earlier this evening and had been looking up USSD codes in the hope that that might succeed in properly resetting in (which it didn't) and came across this Vellamo app that assesses your device and gives you the stats and it came up saying my storage is Samsung, could this be at the bottom of it all? Help :(

I do wonder if there are any performance differences between the two.

Also a question; is the storage used eMMC 5.0 or is it still a 4.xx model?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] metalhead131:
How do I flash a ROM without an SD card? On all the devices I've ever ran a custom ROM I've had an SD card to flash from that wouldn't get cleared when I wipe and format. Without said SD card, the ROM file would be deleted, correct?

So my real question is, how do I flash a ROM without a PC or SD card on my N7 2013?

EDIT: I have rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and flashed TWRP recovery without a PC.

I used Towelroot to root;

I used BootUnlocker (Available in the Play Store) to unlock my bootloader;

and I used Flashify to flash the TWRP image.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nhizzat:
Download rom and place in /sdcard, reboot into bootloader, use advanced wipe but leave internal storage unchecked, swipe to wipe, flash rom
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
If you have TWRP just download it onto your internal memory and flash it. In TWRP you can just "swipe." This action does not wipe the internal memory, the ROM you want to flash will remain. Always run a backup first thing in TWRP before doing any flashing.

This is only with themes, I installed TiBu and a couple other apps just fine. Any idea why?

If I trip the KNOX counter what exactly will this mean? I understand it means it voids the warranty. Just bought this puppy and while I love customizing my Android devices I'm not to crazy losing warranty. Do they check KNOX counters when you send them in? Does tripping it do anything else?

Also is there a way to obtain root on a N910W8 without tripping the counter?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
I know you're looking for a clear yes/no answer, but it's not that simple...

Officially: rooting voids your warranty.

Unofficially: You may get lucky if you send in your knox 0x1 device for repair. Seems that some people have been able to get their knox 0x1 device repaired when there was an obvious hardware issue like dead pixels, etc.

Bottom line: If you want to be sure you keep your warranty, then do not root. If you do root, assume you lose your warranty. If your knox 0x1 phone breaks, then unroot and try sending it to Samsung and hope for the best.

But flashing via odin doesn't trip knox. So you lied and they're misinformed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
That depends. Flashing a non-Sansung image, be it a bootloader, kernel, entire firmware, etc - will trip Knox, even if it is done using Odin. The OP, however, stated it was a Samsung firmware, so both were misinformed.

Another thing the tech rep was misinformed was about the KNox Container. The N ote 4 SM-N910C, which is the one I have, does have the knox container, although the app isn't installed by default, but it is a free download from the Play Store.

I currently have all my sensitive apps (such as Steam [because of its wallet], PayPal, internet banking, corporate Exchange email, etc) on a Knox Container in my Note 4. It is quite secure, although a little bit slower.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Of course. I was only referring to his words that flashing a non tampered samsung rom with Odin will trip knox. About knox container haven't had any clue. Though wish samsung could find another way and stop this non sense.

Wish it had another aproach. Like : phone comes free of any binary counting system. BUT the moment that someone installs Knox on his phone and activates it, the binary counting system should get active by stating zero and still having a valid warranty flag.

And if then the owner of the phone roots it or in anyway tampers it then it should start counting.

I'm sure they can do it but to lazy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suici Doga:
Best idea is to open go to the place where they check Knox on the phone (some key combination) and on the location of the screen that says that is voided do something like put extreme heat on it so that that part of the screen doesn't work.
