3.RegionLock Away app says unlock sucessful.. but still asking for unlock code.

can anyone one help me to find the solution.. suitable links will be helpful.

Thanks in Advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You probably need to flash an old 4.2.2 modem and then use the unlock methods. After that reflash the modem you are on.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsanjai:
I just tried that method and it not working.. aftr downgrading the modem the imei is changed.. then tried the unlock methods..

nothing happd.. and after reflashing the orginal modem it asks for unlock key..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Here is a complete list of firmwares for your phone. Download one of the 4.2.2 versions, install it, then try running RegionLock Away. After that, upgrade to the most recent.

Sometimes downgrading the modem is not enough, which is why I recommend flashing the entire ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsanjai:
Just did like u said.. Downgraded to 4.2.2. but when i downgraded the modem the imei is changed to null. I used the same modem of the 4.2.2.

But wen i flashed the newst modem imei is obtained. And the problem is that unlocking methods are still not working.

Can u provide me with some more methods to make it right...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Contact your carrier and ask for an unlock code, or purchase an unlock code. Those are your only other options if the unlock methods don't work for you. If those options don't work, then the device is pemanently locked to the carrier, which will happen if one attempts to randomly enter unlock codes too many times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Sodiepap:
So before all of this, my Sprint S4 was rooted but I don't think I installed a recovery on it as before this ****storm happened, trying to boot into a recovery didn't work, so I'm assuming I never installed one. So long story short, I was trying to install Cyanongenmod using their installer, wouldn't work after a few times and now my phone is stuck in the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and I can only boot into download mode, can't do anything else and I've tried using Kies recovery thing and nothing works. I've tried flashing new firmware in odin, everything I've tried always fails, gets stuck at "setup connection" a lot, tried different USB ports, cords, literally everything a few Google searches give me and I just cannot get this thing unbricked, and I'm just shocked why everything I tried to flash on it in odin just keeps failing.

I really, really need help from you guys as I need my phone for work and don't have any backup phones or anything, so I would appreciate 100% if someone can get me out this ****, thank you!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaptone:
Since I have had all my android devices I have used an app called calendar snooze. It takes over the Google calendar alarms and showed custom snooze times and keeps reapeating them until you do something about it

Since getting the HAM7 I have not been able to get it to work with this phone on either the Google or stock calendars. It is a bit annoying because I use it all the time. I have emailed the Dev and have had no response

Does anyone use anything like this because I would love to get the snooze control I once had.

[Testing] andrewsena:
To everyone, i am not too sure where should i put this topic on... and with respect to the forum mods, you can move this thread to the correct place. i hope i am right. anyway here i go.

Can someone tell me what kind of an app is this? I work in a mobile shop, and i know rooting and stuff, but i don't know this app, or what is does. My boss got this app somewhere and instructs me and my colleague to install in on every single phone that is sold. and he told us not to install it on our own phones, but only customers phones. I anyway ignored his words, and installed this app into my own phone.

Installing this application into my phone so far has no issues, but it a background application. when you install it, first you see its icon in the app drawer named "Android Service" with a green android as its icon. But when you open it, it says the application isn't installed and the application disappears from the app drawer. But go to settings, apps, and it is in the downloaded column, as well as running apps. Its like a hidden app. And my concern is, what it actually does? is it a spy app? or is it a virus? a ticking timebomb app that changes your phone settings including the password so that you cannot access your own phone? i do not want to be doing cheeky or evil stuff on phones that i sell, because people who buys it buys them based on trust and respect.

I hope anyone here, someone here can help me and tell me what kind of an app is this. Google doesn't help either. neither my boss... he won't say what app is this. install or quit, that is his policy.

Thanks for helping everybody, and attached will be the apk for the app.
[Testing] tzzeri:
Well, I downloaded the apk and opened it without installing, and the permissions look quite fishy. Based on the permissions, it could very well be giving away someone's contact details to a third party. How does he wasn't you to install it? Open up someone's phone and start playing around with it? Who'd let you do that to their phone? Definitely something to be weary about. If nothing comes up from here, I'd say you should run it by the authorities (of course not with the emergency no., but there's normally a non-emergency no. to call.

Scanned the apk with this site, not sure where it says whether it's malware or not (although even if it didn't detect malware, it might still be dangerous), but it had this screenshot. Maybe it didn't work because of the version of your phone. Definitely strange. Do you know your boss as an honest person? (Sorry if that question is too personal, you don't need to answer)
[Testing] tzzeri:
I installed it while on airplane mode, and the same thing happened that you described. Could be the site made a screenshot mockup based on the code... I have no idea what it is. Maybe some dev can shed some light. But I think this is in the wrong section.
[Testing] ShadowLea:
Whatever the app is, pre-installing software without the customer's knowledge or consent is illegal.

Go to the police.

At best this is fraud, at worst it is data theft or possibly even organised crime. By installing the app, even on your employer's orders, you are complicit in the offense. If it is fraud or data theft, it could very well land you in prison.
[Testing] tzzeri:
True. Despite the fact that it's not fair for the customers, but if a customer notices there's a downloaded app that he didn't download, it's quite likely to come back to your company.
[Testing] ShapesBlue:
Truthfully here in the states all the phone companies put things on customers phones prior to them buying it. My gf called verizon one day and they told her what apps she installed the previous day. I see no difference than what someone is doing here. This seems like a rogue app and I would seriously consider going to the authorities

Depends on the law. It may or may not be legal. Some countries don't even have an IT law...Whereas some have draconian ones ...

It's a rogue app alright

The information from phone is redirected to some turkish hacker website.

Looking at the permissions, it seems like it's more for spam. And why do you think Turkish?
[Testing] BCSC:
Wow that's just a really really bad idea. Please tell me you're in the process of wiping your phone. Even Bluestacks is a better option.
[Testing] karandpr:
Well, it's more of bot net + grab.

Basically the phones can become a part of bots in future.

MAC Ids ,IMEI and other important information is being recorded.

These can be used for masking or cloning purposes.

How do I know ?

Well, because the dudes where data is going claim to be turkish. The method used is very very crude.

There is a chance that the original website was just a data miner. and it was hacked by those hackers.

Annnnd ,I don't want to give out any other information about them. Not really planning to get myself witch hunted. My XDA profile is public.

Right now ,that app is malicious and the overtones are political. Stay away as far as you can.
[Testing] ShadowLea:
Don't confront your boss about this. If he's knowingly involved you'll put yourself and everyone you know (including us) in danger, and if he's just a naive fool that just makes it worse.

Make an offline copy of this thread, all the data and put it on a flashdrive along with the apk.

Take that to the police. They can check if the person involved shows up as flagged in any (cyber)crime database and handle it from here. They'll also inform you of the best course pf action in remaining anonymous, which may involve the deletion of this thread. (which, quite frankly, is a good idea if this does turn out to be serious.)

And yes, you'll likely loose your job. So will your employer. But at least you won't go down with them as an accomplice.

The difference is that service providers in the USA are legally allowed to put monitoring apps on their customers phones. In the interest of 'Customer Protection and Service', which is really a lovely euphemism for 'because the NSA told them to'.

Which, frankly, not a single non-US citizen is shocked by.

Here in the EU they're not even allowed to see what app is using your data.

As for what app were downloaded, ISP's dont need spyware for that. Service providers have access to a detailed log of what your IP adress is doing, down to which sites you visited, stuff you downloaded (legally and illegally) and what apps you used to access those sites. There used to be a way to call up that log yourself back around the turn of the millenium, but it's long since been blocked to customers.
[Testing] andrewsena:
Thank you everybody for help. What I and my colleague are doing now is not installing the app into customers phones, but when asked by our boss, we just say yes. it is a very fishy app i know, and yes it is illegal here, so yeah, i might be losing my job, but at least i'm not doing anything hanky panky. and the reason why i need to know what app this actually is, and what it actually does is so that i can let the big owner know about it, with proof. he's a hard to listen person unless you have proof and facts and you actually know what it is. he sounds like a fool right? but yup, he is.... thanks again guys.
[Testing] andrewsena:
thanks so much for help... although i don't know how to read or understand what the website is saying. yup, no customer will allow that, but my boss wants it to be done when a customer buys a phone here, when you are helping them downloading games or songs... my big boss, the owner is honest guy, but my boss i dont know man....
[Testing] tzzeri:
Look, it might be good to run it by the big boss, but either way, go to the police. And uninstall the app from your phone.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Look, while you need to go to the police, I'm not sure how will the Malaysian authorities will deal with it. Try and find some global company that deals with these problems to also deal with it.

And maybe you should flag this for a mod to delete it.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

BTW, most probably this boss is just looking for some extra cash, and he's being used to do this. Misguided and a twisted mind. Maybe he has no idea what the app does?

Oh ffs, I don't care if you yell, cry, confused, whatever.

Try different recoveries? Tried different recovery VERSIONS? What Lollipop ROM? Did you try another ROM? Of course it won't boot, you got no /system, this ain't freakin rocket science.

Bottom line: boot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, and just flash another ROM. don't know how to push a new rom to your device while running on recovery? Here's a tip: ADB. Read the howtos and stickies around here.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IDisposable:
I installed build the 1/26 build of CM11 on my P3113 and everything is working perfectly EXCEPT the "Back Button" soft key. The last build I was running was (I think) 01/11 and it worked fine, but now no matter what I've done (cleared input setting, full pave, etc) it just won't do ANYTHING when I hit the back button.

The tablet DOES notice that I've hit the button, the highlight appears and any pull-down notification is rolled back up, but no ACTION is taken (e.g. it won't get back to the previous screen within whatever application is running).

Any ideas if this is a new bug, or something that I should be looking for?

[YU Yureka General] prince.d.emperor:
Many of us wants to buy Yu Yureka but are unable because of its high demand and less availability. But, I have found a working script which will add yureka in your cart automatically. It worked for me and I am sharing it with you !

This is not my script and I am not going to take it's credit. I am just sharing !

Will it work on every sales ?

May Be… Because, Amazon will change the tokens on every sales. So, I will update the above code on every sales here.

How to use it ?

It is very simple. Just open the Yureka Yu phone sales page 5 minutes before sales.

Right click and select “Inspect Element”

Goto “Console”

Paste the above code and press “Enter”. Thats it, Your phone will be added to your cart.

How it works ?

This code will run the function every 20 millisecond. That function will try to click the buy now button. If the button appears in the screen, then the phone will be added to your cart automatically.

Script :

setInterval(function(){ jQuery('.btn').trigger('click'); console.log('Working.. Dont press any key until we add your phone to your cart.'); },10);

Hit thanks, if helped :) :good:

[P3600 Software Upgrading] rjefferis:
that is a bit of an open question really.

It depends what you wanted to do. If for example you just wanted to install all the orange customizations over again then you could unlock your extended rom and copy the contents of this zip into it. Then everytime you hard reset it would always install the orange stuff.

Or you might just want to install one bit of it. The orange homescreen for example in this case you would just have to run the homescreen cab from file explorer.

The zip file i included just has all the files that were in the ext rom folder when the device was shipped from orange.
