[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvster:
My international note 2 has an error saying no sim card, not registered on network.

First i noticed in USA and i was on phantom rom. When dialing *#06# no imei comes out, its just blank, it didnt say null.

Then i came back to malaysia and flashed stock rom 4.4.2 and my imei is there when dialed *#06# but i put sim card and still no network..

Then i got to shop and repair but the guy say my sim slot is just ok and no spoil.

Now im on 5.0 lollipop. Please help me use my sim card back.

I never do efs backup before. I didnt even touch it.

So how???

Unfortunately you will have to flash the stock image for your Note 2 , to recover your modem information, it happened to me once, and this was my only working solution.

After you do it, you root and install a recovery , then wipe flash everything and install the rom you want

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marscandybars:
Hi, I recently saw the Tytn and 8525 and i had some concerns and to see if the new rom made any improvements on them (in comparison to the 8125/MDA)

When I saw the Tytn and 8525, i noticed there was only 1 speaker in the back. Is the device only Mono?

Another thing that caught my attention was the buttons. Does the new rom software let you map out the buttons to different programs by HOLDING a button? Does it allow you to map any buttons if you PUSH and HOLD a button? b/c the ones i saw only let you map out buttons to push/tap and not hold.

For example: with the 8125 and MDA vario (imate kjam): if you hold the comm. manager, it will change your phone from sound to vibrate and vice versa. When you hold the voice command button it will initiate the built-in voice recorder.

I also noticed (because i have an MDA vario i.e. i-mate k-jam) that the tytn and 8525 have a slightly smaller screen. Smaller on each side by about 2-4 pixels or so. Isn't it false advertisement to state it supports 320x240 when its slightly less pixels on the screen?

And lastly, the 8125/MDA vario has a dedicated toggle switch for the volume, is there any equivalent for this for the devices?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mujomojo:
i'm not too familiar with the 8125/mda but i can answer a few of your questions.

yes, the device is mono. arent most if not all speaker phone enabled cell phones mono?

there is a ptt patch which allows you to map the ppt button for 2 functions one for push and another for push+hold. the 8525 comm manager does not have push+hold functionality. i cant say regarding other available roms since i'm still running the vanilla 8525 shipped rom. ;)

i never use voice command so can't speak of it's functionality or lack of.

pixels come in different sizes. even if the physical screen is smaller by a few pixel measurements it does not mean it lacks those pixels. you can fit a 320x240 on a larger sceen as well. eg: a laptop with a 14.1" lcd available in either xga (1024x768) or sxga+ (1440x1050). same physical screen size .. but one packs WAY more pixels.

the jog dial becomes dedicated volumn control while in call .. otherwise it's used for navigation.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marscandybars:
What about toggling from normal volume to mute/vibrate mode? There is no way to shortcut between both modes such as holding the comm. manager button? Cuz the only way i saw was to go to tap on the volume settings and specifically choose vibrate (a bit of an inconvenience).

Also, the MDA Vario (i.e. imate kjam) has TWO speakers. Left and Right side (stereo). So the tytn/8525 would be kind of a step backwards in that department.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Who-m3:
There is a peice of software called VibraSwitch (it is available in this forum) that is designed to push-and-hold on the Comm Manager to switch from current to Vibrate. Do this again, it returns to what you had set first. I think that's what you were curious about.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marscandybars:
VibraSwitch

Thanks. I will try to search for it. I'm a bit sad that the speakers are mono... and when comparing the MDA to the tytn/8525, i really believe it has less pixels (not smaller pixels) ... :( ... but it does have a better camera :) but that doesn't suffice for stereo sound :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] priusman:
I was originally concerned about the mono sound as well, but actually found the sound quality to be as good as my 8125. Speaker phone seems to work better too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marscandybars:
Yah id have to agree... the 8125 and MDA have HORRIBLY LOW speaker volume. Is it substantially LOUDER with the 8525?

Do you have the Tytn or the 8525? I was wondering if there were a way to "rub" off the cingular logo. I've seen it done with the blackberry, but with the 8525, it seems more flush with the paint, but i can't really tell for sure cuz i havent had enough time to fully inspect the logo. Any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Centurion:
Having owned an 8125 and 8525, the 8525 trounces the 8125 in every department. It is EXPONENTIALLY faster in every way (yes, I even overclocked my 8125), it made it worth buying an unlimited data plan for my 8525 because of 3G and I would NEVER go back to an 8125 after this.

-FASTER!!

-3G

-More camera capabilites (PANORAMIC PICS!)

-Feels/Looks much nicer

-Keyboard is more responsive

-Hardware wheel kicks ASS

-More RAM

The patch for holding down the comm. button for vibrate works perfectly too.

If you thought your WM6 ROM for your vario was fast, just wait until you use it on a hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marscandybars:
Hah... well i never quite thought wm6 was fast on my MDA vario... if anything it bugs, which is why i decided that a 400 mhz device (unclocked) would be a good way to start for an upgrade... but i have tried both devices, and i still have to say that the MDA has a better keyboard. They are all individual buttons and none of the buttons are touching. The 8525 has a smaller and very cramped keyboard, but i do agree that it is a lot better than the 8125 (though i never did like the 8125). But i guess with the perks, i can swallow my pride on the keyboard, mono speaker and smaller screen factor :-p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] intrglctcrevfnk:
OMG!! Can the human brain distinguish between mono and stereo speaker spaced less than two inches apart? NO! Jeez....

At least the 8525 does support stereo in headphones and BT Stereo... WHERE IT DOES MATTER... Read the Yahmaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook to catch up with the details...:cool:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaleem7:
Hey Guyz,

New to XDA-Developers platform,just wanted to get your help on rooting Xperia Z2.

I want to mirror my xperia z2 on my laptop. All the applications around need rooted phone to perform this action. Although some are working with USB cable option,but not working at my side either.

I have already downloaded all the necessary tools for rooting,the problem am facing is selection of my firmware

My Phone Software Version is 1278-4770_23.0.1.A.0.167

I want to remain on my 4.4.4 version of kitkat and root as well,till now i have learned that my software version supports German Unbranded FTF file for root.Can anyone provide me that file or some link.

Accept my Thanks and Wishes in Advance

Regards :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
There are many ways to obtain root access with the xperia Z2

Now keep in mind this:

There is a easy way and a hard way

The easy way voids your warrenty permanently and the hardway alows your warrenty to be restored

Think about this decision and pick one

(ill guide you through it)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
I would definitely NOT say downgrading is a very hard way, that's just outright over exaggeration.

There is no easy way or hard way, only a quick way which voids your warranty and there is a longer way that won't void. The longer way takes about an hour if you download all the files previously.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
*a tad tedious

I find its just a bit anoying with the back and forth
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaleem7:
Thank you Envious_Data for your kind replay.

I am not much concerned with the removal of warranty permanently. I have decided my cards :)

Now i'll be thank full to you if you can guide me further...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Take note that you CANT get any repairs from sony even if you want to pay, check that you are satisifed with your device aka no defects

Note that you lose some xperia functions, X-Reality, SuperVivid and some Playstation and sony apps dont work from my testing

Now lets get started

You will need this tool for unlocking your bootloader and flashing a recovery

http://www.flashtool.net/index.php

You will need this tool for installing the fastboot/flashmode/Z2 drivers for Z2

https://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http...KA9T2g&usg=AFQjCNEKiBoUgTCpZhx3dv1GJigiYpH2WQ

After unlocking your bootloader flash this boot.img to your device using flashtool

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56540642&postcount=54

Next you will need to download supersu

http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

You can use twrp to flash this which will root your device :D

If you need help more than i have explained here then ask

Concider the losses from void warrenty and the few lost services

Do not use twrp to flash anything from another device, mods yes but anything more than just a mod is NO
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
It blows my mind that people elect to destroy their drm keys when keeping them takes an extra 10 minutes. It is safer to do and can always revert back to stock if your phone screws up.

Although you have been told that on 4.4.4 you lose warranty, camera quality, ps4 remote play, all the xperia unique apps like lounge. How do you know what you lose on lollipop?

Each to there own, I know I've been stung by this is the past so I would never destroy my drm keys again.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
actually funny enough I've learned that the lack of warranty or Xperia features phases none on some people just because they have a well working unit and most likely wont need a warrenty repair or replace

i kept my TA due to the fact i had 4 defective units in a row however with my Xperia S i had no need for them and similar with my current Z2

whats your opinion on this
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunaltyagii:
To be honest i think it would be better to downgrade even if its just for the sake of taking a backup of your TA partition. i myself will be going stock lollipop once official CM or PA ROMs roll out, but i would still like to have a way to get back my warranty just in case its needed. currently neither rooted nor UL BL.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Alright so I have achieved Dual Boot :victory:

THIS IS NOT KEXEC .

It's a simple hack or probably an elegant one.

We can probably achieve multiboot but that is not important.

There are some other things which will be ironed out but thats for later.

Thread Rules :

No Thank you or How Do I do it or nooby questions.

This thread is exclusively for Developers, Enthusiasts and/or Professionals.

Knowledge of Linux and Terminal is MANDATORY.

Dual Partitioned SD card. Second partition preferably

Linux Installed on your computer.

Rubbish posts will be removed .

Save some pride by not being a n00b.

Currently I have planned two types in my mind.

Type 1: Dual Booting ROMs with Same Boot Images - Completed

This hack works across ROMs which use same kernel with same ramdisk... ICS ROMs series , LXP ROMs who use the LXP kernels.. If there is even slight difference in the ramdisk (esp. the init.rc) ,you wont be able to boot ROMs.

Type 2: Dual Booting ROMs with Same kernels but different Ramdisks- Therotically completed.

Post 1: Intro

Post 2: Prepare SD Card and Images

Post 3: Prepare Ramdisk and ROM Installations

Post 4: Installation and switching ROMs

Post 5:Ramdisk Mod

Post 6 : Multiple Mounts/ MultiBoot

Post 7: FAQ
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Problems :

Partitioning SD card is annoying and not fruitful

Second SD card partition might be used as second SD card on First ROM.

Solution"

Use loop Images.

I WOULD RECOMMEND USING ANY LINUX DISTRO FOR MAKING A LOOP IMAGE. Because LINUX !!!

Preparation:

Dump Images and formatting.

Make dump images

dd if=/dev/zero of=system.kdpr bs=4096 count=100000

Will you give you 400 MB image

dd if=/dev/zero of=data.kdpr bs=4096 count=200000

Will you give you 800 MB image.

Mount Images (as root)

losetup /dev/loop0 system.kdpr

losetup /dev/loop1 data.kdpr

Format images(as root)

sudo mkfs.ext4 -T ext4 -b 4096 -m 0 -J size=4 -O ^huge_file,^has_journal,^resize_inode,^ext_attr /dev/loop0
sudo mkfs.ext4 -T ext4 -b 4096 -m 0 -J size=4 -O ^huge_file,^has_journal,^resize_inode,^ext_attr /dev/loop1
tune2fs -c 100 -i 100d -m 0 /dev/loop0
tune2fs -c 100 -i 100d -m 0 /dev/loop1

You have two ext4 formatted images system.kdpr and data.kdpr ready.

Copy those images to sd-ext folder.You can mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 on a folder and directly push these images via adb push

OR copy images to SD card and copy to second partition.

Either way the system.kdpr and data.kdpr should be in root of the second SD card partition.

Assuming you have mounted second sd card partition on /data/sd-ext.

Run this command

touch flag_kdpr

The Images are now ready and loaded :victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Now is the time to hack the boot image.

Unpack Boot image and navigate to ramdisk folder

Navigate to the lines in init.rc where partitions are mounted .

Comment off or remove the lines mounting system and data

For stock ICS it is in init.semc.rc

#mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system
#mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system rw remount
#mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid node

v

add a line

exec /sbin/mount_fs.sh

now create a bash script named mount_fs.sh as follows

#!/sbin/sh

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /res/sdext
flag_boot=`cat /res/sdext/flag_kdpr`

if [ ${flag_boot} -eq 1 ]
then
mount /res/sdext/system.kdpr /system
mount -o remount,rw /res/sdext/system.kdpr /system
mount /res/sdext/data.kdpr /data
else
mount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
mount -o rw,remount /system
mount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /data
fi

make a folder named /res/sdext or choose mount point of your choice

We will be controlling the mount point and boot via the file flag_kdpr.

Using this flag we can also achieve MultiBoot

Repack the boot image.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Installing Secondary ROM

Open the zip and extract the updater script .

Remove the lines for mounting/formatting system and data.

Repack the zip

Mount sd-ext

Run these commands in terminal

mount /sd-ext/system.kdpr /system
mount /sd-ext/data.kdpr /data

Install the zip ROM.

ROM will be installed in the dump images.

Booting to secondary ROM:

In the recovery or first ROM run this command

echo 1 > /sd-ext/flag_kdpr

OR

echo 1 > /res/sdext/flag_kdpr

and reboot

Booting to primary ROM:

In the recovery or first ROM run this command

echo 0 > /sd-ext/flag_kdpr

OR

echo 0 > /res/sdext/flag_kdpr

and reboot

Stage 2 : Ramdisk Mod .

This is actually theoretical, but it should work anyway. [MENTION=788040]nobodyAtall[/MENTION] 's recovery for locked bootloader works in a similar fashion.

This is for LXP+ kernels or kernels who use init.sh to load the ramdisk archives.

Steps .

Preparation :

SD Card

Add a folder named ramdisk in root of second SD card

mkdir ramdisk

Add ramdisks in this folder

Add a flag for ramdisk

touch flag_ramdisk

Make a script mount ramdisk.sh

#!/sbin/busybox sh

flag_ramdisk=`cat /sdext/flag_ramdisk`

if [ ${flag_ramdisk} -eq 1 ]
then

busybox cpio -i < /sdext/ramdisk/abc_ramdisk.cpio

elif [ ${flag_ramdisk} -eq 2 ]
then

busybox cpio -i < /sdext/ramdisk/pqr_ramdisk.cpio

else

busybox cpio -i < /sbin/ramdisky.cpio
fi

Ramdisk of Primary kernel

Edit init.sh

create directory

mkdir -m 755 -p /sdext

Mount second SD card partition before loading the ramdisk

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sdext

Comment or delete the line loading kernel.

Replace/add with

busybox sh /sdext/ramdisk.sh

Unmount Second sd card

Ramdisk will "theoretically" load.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Handling Multiple Ramdisks and Multiple Mounts.

Multiple Ramdisk mod is useful when.

You have to test a new ramdisk

You have to run alternative ROM on a same kernel(e.g MIUI)

Load custom recovery for alternative mount points (CM12 ,Secondary ROM)

Dual/Multi ROM is useful for

Alpha/Beta testing

For the lulz

Both of these mods are independent of each other.

You can use Primary Ramdisk with Ramdisk mod and Secondary Ramdisks with mount mods

Multi Boot is similarly implemented. Except you need lot of space in second partition ,each around 1-1.5 GB per system-data combo.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Lagfix after a while.

After 5-7 boots , Secondary ROM starts lagging.

fsck is needed to be performed from the reccovery to fix lag.

Commands :

e2fsck /res/sdext/data.kdpr
e2fsck /res/sdext/system.kdpr

Or just add it to mount scripts before mounting.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ryanrinaldhi:
[MENTION=3690061]karandpr[/MENTION],is there any possibility to dualboot some roms with different kernel layout or version (like multiboot on newer phone)? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Nope. On fly layout change is impossible.

Even when you change layout ,you need a fastboot erase ,or the consequences can be weird.

Version change is possible.

anonymous had a kernel which can boot ICS , CM9 ,CM 10 & MIUI JB.

Multiboot off his hybrid kernel is very possible.

I am exploring the possibility of Kitkat and lollipop since both are versions 3.4 . Not sure if it can happen but worth a risk.
