[HTC Desire 500] ktswapnil:
What I have did

*bootloader unlocked*

*CWM Recovery installed*

*SuperSU installed*

1. Now that I have to install Jelly kat ROM which requires software number 1.32 which kernel I should flash ?

current software number 1.12.707.1 (Setting->About.>Software Information)

I tried flashing with kangbang (r3) ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600294 ) *my software number was not affected*

meanwhile i also flash with ulitmate kernel which was meant for i guess 1.32 or 1.26

that makes my kernel version info looked like this

3.4.0-gaf27bf1-dirty

dummie999@kernel #1

SMP PREEMPT

2. Also my device is not showing that HTC warranty has void warnign that we typically see on any rooted phone. *curious*

thank you guys.
[HTC Desire 500] ufonek:
Kernel does not affect the firmware version ;) HTC warranty text you see only after S-OFF.

Hello everyone!

I'm planning to buy a Note 4 from a guy who is coming from Germany with a phone bougth from vodafone germany. He is telling me that vodafone sells samsung devices unlocked. Is there any sim lock and bootloader?

Btw here is the reciept he sent me. It's looks tike it has a contract: https://www.dropbox.com/s/66hqg2zr3nwbd1g/IMG-20141224-WA0000.jpg?dl=0

Should I buy this or not? Thank you.
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
In the EU it is legally forbidden to SIMlock devices to a specific provider. Even on a contract.

However Samsung has a Region Lock on their devices. You can't use an EU device with a non-EU SIM without first unlocking it with a local SIM by calling, internetting and texting for 5 minutes each.
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
It would appear those laws on SIMlocking were not actually enforced, just guidelines to which new local laws must adhere. Until countries review their laws, they need not change. (And there we have the explanation why local laws are all so outdated..)

Those 'companies' are money sucking leeches praying on ignorant customers. Here's why:

"The Directorate-General for Competition (DG IV) has written to GSM/DCS1800

handset manufacturers and network operators in the EEA limiting the use of

the "SIM Lock" feature in mobile phone handsets: the feature effectively

ties the customer to one GSM operator or service provider. The handset must

be able to be unlocked upon demand by the consumer. This will prevent the

anti-competitive effects of the feature vis-à-vis existing or new operators,

and avoid a reinforcement of the division of the mobile phone market along

national lines.

[...]

The practical effect of this will be that consumers will no longer be

charged what were often significant amounts of money for the privilege of

linking their own handset to the services of another operator / service

provider."

They must be unlocked upon request by the service provider, free of charge. Going to a paid 3rd party is sheer stupidity.

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-96-791_en.htm

Sadly, many customers are not aware of these laws, and in many countries the courts rule in favour of the mobile operators for less than honest reasons (which they ofcourse always deny, because it has nothing to do with the ungodly amount of ex-politicians in the boards of directors..)

The only thing providers are allowed to do is put a timestamps on how long it takes for you to be allowed to unlock it, usually the time your contract lasts. By doing this, they can charge fees if you want it unlocked earlier.

The problem with Apple is that Apple itself locks the firmware to a carrier, and requires an update from Apple itself to unlock. (Like they also do with 4G for every separate provider.) The bastards have never cared for laws: The EU has laws that every charging port must be a MicroUSB since 2011. Apple ignored that, and with Obama backing Apple and holding the chains on the trade agreements, the EU can't do much more than impose petty fines that are small change to Apple.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesTheBrit:
To cut a long story short, my less than one month old OnePlus One was stolen from me yesterday. I tracked it so far and then the signal went dead.

What I want to know is is it possible to know if my phone has been wiped? Would the device remove itself from device manager if it was wiped? I am yet to get my carrier to blacklist the IMEI as I am hoping that they will turn the phone on again and then I can track them. Obviously, if they have wiped the phone it is pointless.

Thanks for any help!
[Networking] Pantho86:
So I'm trying to hide some network traffic from my provider Three UK. As my new contract only has 2gb hotspot and I really miss the old unlimited system they had.

Now I'm only trying to tether an android tablet to the phone nothing else, so I'm not sure how they're detecting that it's tethered bandwidth.

Figured I'd try using a VPN to hide the data but now I'm confused. My phone isn't actually sending the hotspot traffic over the VPN.

I tested local traffic and the values show that is going through the VPN, but anything via the hotspot is not. Any idea why? See speed at the top of this bad image, then VPN speed below.

i.imgur kbxyPJR.png
[Networking] Pantho86:
Looking into this further, my tablet get's a seperate IP than my phone, both provided by Three UK.
[Networking] miked63017:
The vpn might not help much depending on you setup. Usuall there is a packet counter for tethering, among other things. Try providing output from these commands via adb shell or terminal emulator, probably need to be ran as root.

iptables -L -n -x -v

ip route show

ip rule show

Usually iptables rules get reset on a reboot, I usually run iptables -F, which flushes all rules a -Z should reset counters. But starting with the output of those three should help to figure out whats going on exactly.
[Networking] Pantho86:
The major issue being I don't want to root the device that's being the hotspot.

I can tether invisibly via bluetooth and some simple apps but these are far from perfect and cause errors in things such as plex etc.

The wifi hotspot is interesting though. It seems to actually work as a little server, gives out a new connection to the devices not just sharing it's own. To get 2 different external IP addresses, very interesting.
[Networking] miked63017:
I have never heard of it giving out external IP addresses, maybe its something specific to you carrier. If thats the case why not connect it via bluetooth to a linux pc, make the pc the access point, then you can route and rewrite packets easily.
[Networking] Pantho86:
Well, if we're adding a PC to the mix I could just USB tether then output wifi from there.

However, it's mainly while im at work watching TV at lunch on the tablet.
[Networking] miked63017:
In that case I am pretty sure you will need root. They are probably seeing that you are tethering by either iptables packet counters, creative routing, or user agent strings. If you are tethering another android device for watching media then it is unlikely they are catching you by user agent strings, since both devices should have android user agents. If you are opposed to rooting the device maybe you could buy a cheap one, root it, and swap the sim card into it when you want to tether?
[Networking] SmokeyTech1:
I posted a guide on how to do this, its the only method that's worked for me, but you need to be rooted
[Networking] Pantho86:
Well bugger, I really don't want to root my Z3 due to all the DRM software on it.

I can tether USB and Bluetooth without being detected, but WiFi hits this snag still sadly. I can USB tether to a laptop then wifi share from there but that's getting a bit long toothed to just tether my tablet.

The Bluetooth tethering works but flash apps and a few others don't really like it, plex etc.

I got the Hermes (cingular 8515) a couple of days ago. And everything is just fine but the most important part. I keep having dropped calls in places where the Wizard didnt have any problem at all.

ROM: 2.06.502.3

RADIO: 1.34.00.10

PROTOCOL. 32.67.7020.10H

I had the shipped ROM but i had this signal problems so i upgraded to this one in the hope that the problems would be solved but same thing.

Cingular did change my SIM card to a 3G one. I was wondering if it is a different network inside cingular and that is why i have problems. I really dont care about 3G, don't use it. Would my problem solve if i ask for a new regular SIM?

Thanks guys. I looked a lot for the same problem already posted so i dont repeat but didnt find anything, wich worries me a little
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phealy:
Yes, it could be that, because if you're in a major metropolitan area it'll try to use UMTS instead of GSM.

In any case, there is a fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=286844

This is a small app that will allow you to quickly change back and forth between the two.

If you don't want that, there's a reghack to enable a Band page in phone settings where you could force it back to GSM. Check the wiki.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aLiTo:
Wow! thanks! it looks like the problem was solved!

I won't know for sure until i really tested it. But this is what i wanted to try
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pride007.2012:
Hi,

Is there any way to install app in externel sd card in Xperia Z Ultra. I am on Android 4.4.4. and using SDXC card at 85MB/s.

I tried to install my previously downloaded apps and copy the data in externel sd card. But after installation in settings/apps it is showing that app is installed and also showing the full size (apk + data) but at the time of launching it starts to download data to my internal disk. Sorry for my bad english.

I use Exposed module OBB on sd and manually move apps obb and data folder to sd card, most game from gameloft work and even bard's tale that use only data folder run just fine on my exFat 64gb card. http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-obb-sd-v0-1-t2884004

Already tried it on stock, miu HD, unofficial carbon ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pride007.2012:
Thanks ,

Folder mount is also working. Now the question is which one is better?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hilmhaz:
Folder mount is a lot more flexible option than obb on sd, especially when dealing with app that download extra data like music on Spotify. 4 of my heaviest game already take 10GB+ space, so obb on sd does suit my need at the moment. It does come down to preference and personal need.

Haven't tried LP Rom yet, so folder mount might be an only option if ZU sd problem still around
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pride007.2012:
In Lp same problem is there, I tried gpe port just for this reason and found the same problem. Also performance is also low. And no Sony apps so reverted back to stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hilmhaz:
Folder mount might work, but exposed app like obb on sd is useless on LP due to the default runtime being ART

Still patiently waiting LP Rom (will stay on StoneUI for now), and thanks for the heads up on gpe port sd problem
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddarvish:
I was wondering if there is a way to use the phone as DUN modem to tether... this is not the same as the usb tether option. my old blackberry and flip phones were able to do so. the difference is that when using DUN the device connected to the phone is receiving the t-mobile IP address as opposed to a private ip address tether gives.. i want to be able to use the device as a backup for my home internet connection and dont want a double NAT situation.. also my router doesnt play well with the tether mode
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Col_UK:
Hi all

I've got a couple of questions that i'd like some assistance on please.

I have an HTC one M7 running Android Revolution 83.1 (as i needed the call fix) and Elemental 18 (i think its 18) and sense 6 toolbox.

Since upgrading to 83.1 i'm having no luck getting push notifications come through, for example i'll be on the website and Google will tell me i have mail, the app never notifies me. I had 15 emails sat there this morning when i logged in but nothing according to the phone. This seems to be the case with any push notifications at all. Interestingly which may or may not be related, it seems to affect whatsapp too at least when the phone is plugged in and charging I've not managed to replicate this without it being plugged in yet.

The second query is a bit of an odd one. This being an M7 I've got the soft keys on the bottom of the phone screen. I've noticed on some apps there are "electronic" ones too. Is there a way to turn these off? Before upgrading to 83.1 i could change any setting in toolbox restart and they would be gone, the same trick now doesn't appear to work. Is this a ROM thing or something else? While not a big deal it takes up some space on screen and duplicates the buttons i already have which seems pointless. I've attached a screenshot for your viewing pleasure.

i ran a quick search and saw no appropriate topics for the push notifications and i wasn't entirely sure what to search for with regards to the appearance query so sorry if they've both been covered before.

thanks in advance for any helpful replies everyone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
I tried to compile CWM to my Trend 2 SM-G313HN and after flashing the recovery image and booting to recovery mode, a red exclamation mark appeared to the top left corner of the boot screen and the boot process stopped there. At first I thought that the compilation failed, but then I tried to unpack the original recovery.img, edit the default.prop (changed ro.secure to 0) and it happened again. Any changes to the recovery ot boot image seemed to trigger that error. There is a picture in the attachments, sorry about the quality, took it with my old Galaxy Gio.

Atleast I managed to root the phone by manually adding superuser to the system.img and flashing it via Odin, but a recovery would be nice. :)

EDIT: I discovered that there is a small bootloader hidden in the stock boot/recovery images. Got CWM to boot. (but no graphics yet, but I can connect via ADB) I am working on to get the recovery working.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] adeii:
Can you tell me what procedure you do to compile CWM ?

Link to source code, specific device *.ini or *.xml, linux/gnu x64 system...etc.? I would also like to compile it for Galaxy Trend 2, since there are no any other rooting option for sm-g313hn without octopus box.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
https://github.com/TheNikiz/android_device_samsung_vivaltonfc3g

Here is the device configuration. It seems like the bootloader checks if the boot/recovery image is unmodified before continuing, if not, it will show the red "!" in the top left corner of the screen. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] adeii:
Thanks a lot, Nikiz. I'll try it.

Do you had use Odin 3.0x and device in download mode to flash it?

Had you tried to compile TWRP: Team-Win-Recovery-Project-Samsung ?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
Yes, I flashed it with Odin 3.10. I have not tried TWRP yet. But it seems that anythin other than the stock boot.img/recovery.img does not work. It seems like the bootloader checks if the image is stock Samsung before booting. :( I tried to edit the stock recovery a little, not changing the functionality any way, but it triggers the error.

EDIT: Well, I have the Cyanogenmod 11 source code downloaded and the system.img is not protected, I started to work on porting CM11 to this phone. Few hours (and beers) later, it booted! But it is not usable yet, it throws a "unfortunately android.phone has stopped working" error repeately and I cannot continue to test it further. There might be a library missing or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] adeii:
Nice! Keep the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
Flashed it again and this time I opened logcat and see what caused the phone app to crash. Made some changes to the source code, recompiling..

[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
I found out something! There is a small secondary bootloader hidden inside the recovery image. I noticed it when I compared the stock recovery to a repacked one. The repacked image did not have it. I tried manyally add it to the CWM build and.. The red exclamation point appeared.. But the screen went blank after that, so it did something! I will experiement with this a bit.

EDIT: Yup, fired up ADB while the screen was blank and got a shell. Now I need to get some graphics out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] adeii:
I found these files in official firmware update here. And you are right, recovery.img have hidden stuff.

Got the recovery working! Well, sort of. I have to fix the mounts so it can be used.

Hello ! I'm also making a recovery for another samsung phone, and i noticed like you that little red exclamation. Could you explain what did you do to get it working please ? Thanks in advance :D !
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] adeii:
Well,IMHO, this is only sign that phone detected that recovery (or just bootloader) is not original/stock and nothing more. On SM-G313HN, it appears only in recovery mode and everything works great.

About how to compile new recovery, I would also want to know all steps from Nikiz.
