You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.

The phone is not recognizing the Sim card, it seems like I lost the IMEI since I updated to CM12, it was working fine when I was on SlimLP. Could someone help me get the IMEI back? I would be grateful if you could provide me with some information regarding this issue and how its dealt with in general.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandroidneo:
Hey there,

I'm not devs, just a noob user, and I may not find any answer, but could you be more detail or information about your phone?

i.e: P31xx or P51xx, recovery ver 6.0.x.x, which cm 12 version you take from, andwhat triggered the problem, probably download a new apps or flashing new kernel or something.

As far as I know, my P3100 working smoothly using cwm 6.0.5.1 and cm 12 build feb 15, from Android-Andi (not the Slimlp version).

Perhaps someone could help. Cheers.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnx_r:
The one posted by Android Andi.

It works fine except for the IMEI, tried flashing via CWM and TWRP.

Now I have switched back to SLIM LP which doesn't seem to have the issue. Anyways, thanks for your reply, CHEERS.

Greetings,

Can anyone please tell me how can i disable S Note In note 3? If i go to applications manager, all apps, s note, the option to turn off s note is not clickable. Its gray.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayman95:
Normal because it s system related......you have to freeze or delete but with root.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRebel:
Thanks for the reply. And this is the issue i m facing with S Note app. I have disabled some other system apps by turning them off in all apps. But the option to turn off S Note is not clickable. It is gray in color. So i can't apparently disable it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayman95:

Hi, I'm hoping someone here might have some suggestions on what to try with my following issue. I need to unlock my i747. I've gotten an unlock code from AT&T, but it flat out does not work. I've called AT&T support 8 times, and they have been no help. they say they are opening a tech support ticket to troubleshoot the issue, but each time they just come back with the same unlock code that fails to work. I'm on stock 4.2.2, it's a phone given to me that's never been rooted or modded in any way.. Can't find any reason why it would fail to unlock. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What bootloader is on your phone? If you have an older bootloader, you may be able to downgrade the phone to 4.1.1 and unlock it using the free method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbmoberly76:
Unfortunately, the bootloader is up to date and so I can't roll back. My understanding is that would certainly brick the device if you're not on the old bootloader. Can't understand why a legitimate unlock code would fail to work, anyone seen that before?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Your original post says you're on stock 4.2.2. Can't rollback once you have the 4.3 bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbmoberly76:
aha, that's a typo. sorry, meant 4.4.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
So you're getting the prompt to enter the code and, after entering the code, it is still locked?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbmoberly76:
I enter the code and it says the unlock failed. then re-prompts. I reboot the phone and continue to get the prompt, and the phone remains locked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Are you entering the code with a non-AT&T sim in the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbmoberly76:
yes, I am testing with a T-Mobile sim card. that's what triggers the unlock prompt. thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Even though you are getting the prompt to enter the code, try this:

a. Go to the Dial pad and dial *#197328640#

b. Please click on number [1] UMTS > [1] Debugging screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] NETWORK LOCK

c. You will see 3 options

d. Please click on number [1] Perso Sha256 INFO, the screen will change slightly

e. Please hit the MENU button then when the menu pops up please carefully hit BACK to return to the previous screen

f. Next Please click on number [2] Perso Sha256 ON, the screen will change again to a one line message

g. Restart the phone on the screen by holding the power button and click RESTART

h. When the phone prompts for the unlock code simply enter the unlock code provided to you

i. Your phone is now permanently unlocked!

Hey, is anyone interested in porting Ubuntu to Z1 compact? It has similar hardware than nexus 5, so I presume it shouldn't be that different. There is also a new porting guide, but I cannot post it here, because I still don't have 10 posts :) Is is on developer[dot]ubuntu[dot]com - press - start

If anyone is interested to do it, I can help testing, finding bugs,...

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] lovalim:
please do, i m so very interested in having ubuntu on my z1 compact
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Ai1dRo0kNotBot:
There is no point in having ubuntu on phone, because of weak phone support.

In general it's only good for developers, but not even close for end users.

Never the less it would be interesting to get rid of android on Z1C.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AseDance:
Let's hope

Today Ubuntu announced that it will show sony z1 running Ubuntu with convergence mode during MWC 2016. Hopefully it will help to port Ubuntu to compact as its basically the same hardware albeit the screen resolution is different.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] F308:
Well. There is a point and it is to get rid of permanent Google invigilation but still having access to gmail and maps.

Not much more I need but most of applications this or other way report their existence and activity to Google.

(eventually Google services do it watching like Big Brother on you).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] [GER]Roxxor:
I support the Ubuntu efforts!

But your arguments are invalid.

Install CM12.1 + Fdroid and you are ready to go (Google free, just don’t flash Gapps!)

Gmail: K9Mail

Maps: Browser or simply dont use Google maps. For me OsmAnd is sufficient (+offline).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] lapor:
Next week we'll see a port of Ubuntu for Z1. I hope that it will be possible to port it on the Z1 compact :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] F308:
Thank you for hints.

I hardly remember but doesn't Fdroid have administrative rights over phone, just like Google?

This is the second thing I hate.

For the same reason I didn't go for having Exchange account on private smartphone..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] [GER]Roxxor:
No it doesn’t. They are implementing automatic updates via root rights, but that is alpha and totally optional(by installing a companion app). You have to allow external apk installation, as Fdroid just downloads the apk from their repository and you have to agree to the installation/updates.

But if you want to get rid of Google, then do it completely. Why not paying for services? Google is financed by advertisement, thus gives you services for "free"(using you data for profit).

Pay 1€ per month, get encrypted email and calendar+contact sync (https://mailbox.org/en/).

I guess I'm going my second year without gapps and I like it it. If you have questions, no problem, ask me! (Im german, thats why I proposed an german provider focused on privacy, I bet there are plenty of others; even though american law makes data protection quite hard, as we see in the recent FBI/Apple confilct)

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] F308:
I switched to K9 (what a name, by the way).

Should do it earlier. What is missing in it is signing/encrypting messages using certificates.

It does it and can decrypt cert-signed messages but itself uses PGP.

Not that I use encryption on daily basis but I want have it one day when need comes and PGP is pretty forgotten while certs I can find on net.

Maybe I didn't discover all features?

Yes - I have other app able to do it but K9 looks really impressive.

(Admins - sorry for turn this thread offroad but I just followed discussion)

Added later - Question:

Is this Ubuntu porting fully functional phone or is it Ubuntu server running on it as any other application?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] danikvsn:
Fully functional, it uses the current Linux kernel, and you can use apt-get to install apps.

I for one want Ubuntu phone more for the future Plasma mobile!

I was able to get some log file from /system/bin/glgps when it processes the /data/gps/gldata.sto and /data/gps/lto.dat files. This clearly shows that someting is wrong with lto.dat:

Thank you for remembrance! This is potentially good news. The "only" thing we have to do is to find and flash those GPS LTO working CM10.2 build to see if you are really right and GPS really works with "maximum performance". Then we have only to identify the difference between last GPS performant CM10.2 and first GPS non-performant CM10.2 build.

Do you remember a GPS performant CM10.2 build?

GPS not working on P990 under CM10.2 theROM build 22 with maximum performance anymore

Feb. 21st 2015

There is important news from my recent tests. I would say it is more bad than good news. But please read:

Setup: I flashed CM10.2 TheROM Build 22 new BL and copied a valid lto.dat to /data/gps . At the end of 2013 this setup provided GPS at maximum performance (definition unhide sub-post 1 below)

Observation: GPS does not work on maximum performance anymore. The glgps log file clearly shows that lto.file is not read properly:

Conclusion: The fact that GPS does not run performantly on P990 with tonyp 's CM11 ROMs most probably does not depend in any issues that have been recenctly introduced.

Brainstorming: What may be the reasons why CM10.2 TheROM Build 22 (and as a consquence recent CM11 ROMs) don't show GPS maximum performance? Not sorted by probability or priority. Just as complete as possible.

/system/bin/glgps binary is not buggy but lto2.dat files downloaded from glgpals.com had sometimes after end of 2013 been changed in format that is incompatible with our glgps binary

there has always been an (e.g. date dependent) bug in /system/bin/glgps binary. In 2013 this bug had no consequences but became destructive somewhen after end of 2013.

/system/bin/glgps binary is not buggy and lto2.dat file format has not been changed since Nov. 2013. But lto2.dat could be encrypted and our P990's certificate for decription has been expired

the way i prepared P990 with CM10.2 in 2013 is different to the way I do in 2015 (AIO Toolkit 6.0; ROM flash TWRP 2.6.0.0). Could it be that AIO 6.0 or TWRP 2.6.0.0 make reading lto.dat mal-functioning?

Did I forget something?

Action Items (everbody please help!):

Try to find at least one tegra2 device that sucessfully makes use of glgps binary and lto.dat files. If found compare to our P990

Trial and error: replace our /system/bin/glgps binary by any other found in the internet

Prepare P990 with CM10.2 TheROM Build 22 the same way as in Nov. 2013. Test GPS performance again

Did I forget something?​
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
Maybe this helps: two days ago I replaced these Tony's CM11 files gps_brcm_conf.xml and gldata.sto with same files from the rom I'm using which fixes gps in 10" without lto.dat, this is the original LG 30B from India rooted, etc by [MENTION=3986004]civato[/MENTION] (V30B-EXT4_Root_Init_Busybox.zip).

Well before replacing these files, in CM11 I couldn't get gps fixed in 10 minutes, after replacing and reboot, the gps fixed in 1-2 minutes and lto.dat were updated. But this was a quick test.

I couldn't repeat it so far because I returned to my operative 30B, neither I can upload now the files; maybe you can extract them from that rom and test gps better than I.

Note that I have baseband LGP990AT-00-V30b-262-02-FEB-13-2013+0 which I think is made by Vodafone Germany included in that 30B kdz file.

Cherry-pick SlimBean's GPS trick!?

Hi dev>null, two boolean questions, two short boolean yes/no answers please :) .

Is your above statement "GPS works great" identical to the statement "SlimBean 4.3 has good working GPS" in this post in [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] 's CM11 thread?

Can you confirm that GPS on your SU660 under SlimBean 4.3 was working with "maximum performance" (at least on Jan. 16th 2015)?

As defined in sub-post #1 of this post about GPS lto technology issues "maximum performance" means:

GPS Fix inside buildings (not too far away from windows; not in the cellar) in less than 20 seconds

GPS Fix with 8-9 sattelites inside buildings and 10-11 satelites outdoor

Without wifi and without SIM card (or with SIM but in air plane mode) GPS cold start fix after battery removal in less than 60 seconds

If so, I'd like to identify and cherry-pick the GPS trick from SlimBean 4.3 and use it in tonyp's CM11 and CM10.2 ROMs .

Please note: I am not interested in "good" performance but in maximum performance.
[LG Optimus 2x] echo_21:
Would you like to attach here as many different gps_brcm_conf.xml files as you have?

I believe that the improvement from 10 minutes to 1-2 minutes comes from the fact that you replaced a "poor" gldata.sto file (I added some info about gldata.sto in OP) file by an excellent one. I know this behaviour too. If you like you may make the following experiment at any time with any ROM that doen't show maximum GPS performance:

make sure GPS is stopped

backup current /data/gps/gldata.sto

delete /data/gps/gldata.sto

start GPS outdoor and stop GPS as early as possible even there is no fix; /data/gps/gldata.sto will have a size of less than 500 bytes

start GPS outdoor and let is fix first time; this will take long time (e.g. 5-10 minutes)

after fix, stop GPS as early as possible

check /data/gps/gldata.sto size; it will be in the range of 3kB to 7kB

start GPS outdoor and let is fix; this will take less (e.g. 2-5 minutes)

let GPS inside many hours on your window bench using a charger; make sure it does not lose fix

after those hours stop GPS and check /data/gps/gldata.sto size; it should be above 10kB

start GPS and it should fix within 1-2 minutes (as you reported above)

But this is not "maximum performance" as defined in the OP. The trick with working long term orbit technology (i.e. proper read of /data/gps/lto.dat file) is that the contents of /data/gps/gldata.sto can be calculated in seconds! Please note that this contents in RAM is highly volatile. It changes data from second to second. Wihout working lto.dat the contents has to be downloaded by the very slow GPS satellite download link.

For these reasons attaching gldata.sto to a post in this thread is of no interest. It would be like posting the current milage of your car or its engine rotation speed while driving. But please attach the gps_brcm_conf.xml files you have.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Just one quick remark:

You could try out some gps blobs from tegra3 devices, too - e.g the LG 4x (P880).

I've seen a couple tegra2 devices which use tegra3 binaries.

Although note that the P880 doesn't use the gps_brcm_conf.xml file - iirc the P970 does, maybe you could check that as well.

Last but not least you can check other devices that use the long term orbit download, like the tf700t - another tegra device.

Good luck!
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
Here is that file.

Edit feb24: test repeated with cm11 and this file, 9 sats detected but no fix; using mentioned 30B, same sats nr detected and fix in 6 seconds.

Gps Files from Pengus CM10

Great [MENTION=5399879]echo_21[/MENTION] let's track this mother****er down ;)

Slimbean 4.3 has an aceptable gps. But I went back to pengus' cm10 to get a full power one, comparable to stock (and stock derived) roms!

Here attached is the couple of files we are comparing. Should we try and overwrite them in a newer rom ? ;)

Also, I'm suspecting (and please correct me if I'm wrong):

1. poor gps fixes are related to NTP servers. I remember derekgordon's got some special fixes in his server. And pengus rom, which has really great gps performance, uses derekgordon's NTP. So I'd test using that, to reduce the variables.

2. since for faster fixes wifi/data connection is needed, apparently you need to have proper Google service installed with Gapps. I like slimmed down roms with no-gapps...but gps fix with that light setup is painful as hell.

I'll be back soon with some experimental news :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] echo_21:
Sorry, I could not follow you completely: Did you extract the 3 files in your attachment from SlimBean 4.3 or from pengus' cm10? I really need the answer.

Anyway (please double-check the following),

the file /system/etc/gps_brcm_conf.xml in all CM11 and CM10.2 ROMs I know is already 100% identical to the file gps_brcm_conf.xml in the ZIP you attached in your last post.

The file /system/bin/glgps in all CM11 and CM10.2 ROMs I know is already 100% identical to the file glgps in the ZIP you attached in your last post.

I strongly believe that the file gps.conf is 100% of no use in our P990 (see opening post "2. Current knowledge")

Thus, IMHO it will not help to overwrite files in newer ROMs. If you don't believe please test it and report results here.

There might be truth in it. But if you read my opening post carefully you will know that I am majorly interested in restoring the successful use of LTO technology that does not need any life WiFi, mobile data or telephony network connection. Access of NTP server requires IP connection that one probably doesn't have e.g. when traveling abroad or when hiking in the mointains. Anyway, as I have now a powerful tool-set to analyse GPS issues I will probably work on NTP too.

IMHO, once LTO technology is running again GPS will work at maximum performance without Google services.

Thanks for your support. Hopefully we will track it down!
[LG Optimus 2x] Robyer:
Naive question: GPS still works great on stock ROMs right? What's so different between cm10/11 and stock? Why can't we take binaries/configurations from stock ROM?
[LG Optimus 2x] echo_21:
Every good idea may help even if naive :)

Do you swear by the heart of your mother that stock ROM still show good GPS performance in 2015 too? We need evidence. Who can tell?

Everybody thought that some CM10.2 has to show same good GPS performance in 2015 as it did at least in 2012. And? It doesn't (see opening post)!

I've been thinking the same. Can anybody post links to P990 LG stock Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS ROM archives?
