[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themountig:
If the phones in question are tied by contract to a particular service provider they are not owned by you. If you owned the phones legally and they are not tied by any contract unlocking would be simply achieved by calling the service provider to release the handset. If you wish to circumvent the law or break a phones link to a contract illegally why would you ask here. Such activities are expressly prohibited by this site and abusing members for not providing you with the tools to do this is disgraceful.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeroni:
Listen here I keep telling you trouble maker that they are good. I know about all that stuff. Two I got after 2 year contract n went with other company . Then two bought out rite. I've already called the companies that were my providers from each phone. Asked how much to unlock them. That was my first move. Rogers checked and my cell was ok not blacklisted with them and wanted $50 plus 15% tax . I thought that was too much cause by law they have to provide an unlock to me. They said ya for a price $50.00 It's the same at the other major providers like bell fido rogers that i tried. All phones are ok to unlock but i must pay too much. So I try some online imei codes but get ripped off n now they have my credit card numbers. Damn. So I do searches n read n check out every software figuring ill do myself and pay for credits. but most software i checked does the samsung galaxy S3 mini but not the Canadian SM-G730W8 model. Same with my ol Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a. Different than regular x10. So I come here ask for few links or help. I get a senior member giving me BS. Your a trouble maker themountig and I don't need your help or accusations. Now once again people they have been checked and are all ok.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmpm:
I checked the IMEI for your S3 and it has not been blacklisted, so I believe you when you say you own it outright. I also went ahead and removed your IMEI numbers from this thread because unscrupulous people will transfer them to devices that have been blacklisted so that those devices can work again. This activity is illegal in most places that support IMEI blacklisting and typically any discussion about how to change your IMEI is removed from xda.

In this case, I think why you really want is to SIM unlock your device. I am not sure what the laws are in Canada, and depending on where you live the carrier may or may not be required to provide you with an unlock code for free. Pretty much everywhere they have to do it if you own the phone. Typically SIM unlocking your device is not something that is supported very much on xda...rooting, unlocking the bootloader, yeah that gets done a lot around here.

You may want to bring up the issue with whomever you want as your new provider. They may be able to help you with Rogers or they may have another solution for you. Vodafone took care of an issue with my old provider when I switched to them. It is probably best to stay away from the online SIM unlocking services because it is really easy to get ripped off.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeroni:
Thank you justmpm. I did not think about why people would want my old imei numbers. I did contact the company and yes they have to open it but at their price. That $50 is half of what I can buy the same phone unlocked online. My kids friends are techs at HP (bunch of crazy kids) and will unlock my phone this weekend if need be. They are also checking out these websites that ripped me off. One site is already down. unlock-freedom.cm They say they have a surprise for the other one this weekend. These companies must be making millions ripping people off. Well couple days ago I found another site advertising right here at my post. So now I'm waiting on code-unlock-shop that had a decent price and advertises doing Canadian cells. We will see. Its my last try.

Thank you justmpm for the info and removing my imei numbers. Most of all thanks for the respect.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themountig:
I want to be clear. I am not accusing you of anything underhand it's just that an IMEI is meant to be attached to one cellphone. People who sell them are outside the law and therefore have no morals which would prevent them from ripping you off. The moderator removed your numbers from your post to protect you. Where do you think IMEI sellers get the numbers they sell as they can't be obtained legally or sold honestly. Sim unlocking is accepted practice IMEI selling is not. Therefore your request to be pointed to an honest seller is not possible. I should have simply pointed out to you that you were asking for the wrong thing, therefore I apologise for giving the wrong impression. Pleased you have so many young experts to guide and assist you and wish you well.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeroni:
Its legal here in Canada to unlock your phone if you own it. But its expensive to have someone do it for you. SO Ive tried here and rooted both Huawei Ascend and the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2e but most software don't do the Canadian models. So thats when I tried the easy number unlock. Getting ripped off though. Didnt know that was illegal cause they advertise everywhere. Even in my evening newspaper. Im finding this out the hard way. I seen another site that does Canadian phones. Right here at this post. htp://www.code-unlock-shop.cm . Advertising right here but Ripping people off? Been 4 or 5 days now and still haven't heard from them. Another $15. Another scam that has my visa numbers. Damn it. I'd be ahead of the game if I stayed off this site and buy a new unlocked cell phone and hell with playing with cell phones. Well all my kids tech buddies are dropping in this weekend to check on these sites that ripped me off. Ill let them little crazies deal with them. Problem solved I'm buying a new phone that I can't afford.

Hello, I'm Yoda the Giant, and this is my new game called Sky Stacker. The point of the game is to stop the blocks on top of the blocks beneath them as you move across.

View attachment 3229534

In Survival mode, the block starts at a set distance each time.

In Endurance mode, the block starts at a random distance.

In Settings, you can adjust the difficulty, which will in turn change your point multiplier.

Feedback is greatly appreciated, especially knowing if it looks good on your type of phone, if you have any suggestions for things I might add or fix, or if anything should be added to make the game clearer or easier to understand. Thanks in advance!

One last thing! If you can help with the graphics, or know someone who can, I would love to have your help! I know what I want for graphics, but I can't do graphics well. Everything so far has been done on paint. Thanks again!

Question in title
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
I just got a new S5 and it's running G900TUVU1CNK2. Can I root/install TWRP without tripping knox? Do I need to update to the latest firmware before flashing a Lollipop ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] graydiggy:
Yes. Please read the general section.

And no, you don't need to update.

Installing TWRP WILL trip Knox. Any custom recovery will trip Knox. There are a couple of good threads (either in General or Q&A) that talk about upgrading to 5.0 and how to do it without tripping Knox.
[XDA Assist] vaporized:
Hello! First time post. I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy s5 verizon today, and this forum has proven very helpful. Now I am trying to install a custom recovery mod like TWRP or CWM because it seems this is essential for rooted users. Anyways I am new to this and don't have very advanced technical programming skills so I would really appreciate some help here. So far I've read that verizon version of this phone has strict permissions and haven't found a method for installing TWRP or CWM that works. I've done quite a bit of searcing, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be appreciated!

I've tried using the ROM manager app, TWRP manager app, and also tried to find a version of TWRP to flash. I got close with the TWRP manager but it asks me to "Ensure partition listed below is correct one for your device.... if not then you could brick...." directory is dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery is this correct? I am worried this may not be the correct method, or directory, and couldn't find my answer online.

thanks in advance

hello,

my xda neo never finds or displays any network. Did anyone experience a similar problem and has a solution??

My biggest worries are, that i dont know if it is a software or hardware problem :confused:

i did a hard reset, turned on the wifi in the comm-manager and no network is displayed altough there are several networks in this house ranging from secured to open networks...

i also tried programs like wifiknife and hitchhiker but no networks are displayed... wifiknife says that "tnetwln1 is found and ok" .... but then no APs are found...

here are also my version numbers:

ROM:2.15.4.47 GER

Date 3/9/06

RAdioRom: 02.19.21

Protocol: 4.1.13.09

extROM: 2.15.4.140

I would appreciate any help. thanks.:)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NetrunnerAT:
Do you Sniff with Netstumbler? Or search over build in Wifi Driver? Do you use a Provider Based Rom or a Custom made Rom?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] avenarie:
i used wifiknife as well as hitchhiker...

and of course the internal wifi application. but none of these finds ANYTHING...

i have the normal provider based ROM, but as far as i know it is the newest official update from the O2 website. ?! but i am not sure. I would try a custom ROM if it is better, but i do not know which is good for my xda... ?

and does it help my problem at all?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workonyou:
I've had many problems with my cache partition. I was going to try and install a new ROM since my phone was working fine for a while. So I installed TWRP and rooted it. I noticed inside TWRP it said

E:\ Unable to mount cache".

I tried to mount it in TWRP and it wouldn't let me select it. I tried formatting/wiping the cache and it seemed to complete but then it displayed the same error message. After I tried to wipe the cache partition my phone was unable to boot. It was stuck on the swirling balloons before the android logo displays. So I downloaded the cache.img for 5.1 and flashed it. When I gave the command fastboot flash cache.img it starts erasing the cache and gets stuck there. The phone freezes and doesn't do anything until I power it off. So I am unable to flash the cache.img. My phone was stuck in a boot loop and doesn't get fixed into I going into TWRP and input this command from shell:

mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

After I use that command the phone boots fine and everything seems okay. So now my question(s) is, does anyone know what is up with my cache partition? Why doesn't TWRP mount it? And when I do anything with the cache partition my phone stops working.....

I am on stock 5.1 with no custom kernels.

Curiously, twrp can wipe the cache.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bumchakalaka:
Go into Recovery and do a wipe cache again and wait for it to finish, it could last like 5~30mins so i recommend connecting the charger just in case then you'll be fine. If it doesn't work try with another custom recovery or go back to stock recovery.

This happened to me a while back and to a friend of mine a few weeks back thank god he called me since we both got a N5. :good::highfive:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcheveau:
It's a bug in the latest TWRP... Go back to 2.8.5.3 for the while. ﻿
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZloKira:
I solved this problem in such a way:

write to the console on the PC or TWRP

adb shell
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
exit

Now , the cache is working , you can put whatever you want, but do not wipe cache dies again , this command is essentially wipe . Good luck

First time building CyanogenMod from source and I've run into a roadblock.

I get the error:

** Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_d2spr'

** Do you have the right repo manifest?

so then I run

it returns a list of devices and d2spr is not in the list.

Be advised that when I ran the shell script I got a conflict with one of the files. You can either attempt to correct the error or run "git cherry-pick --abort" in the conflicting directory.

and then finally

will compile it.

Known that most of Note 4 Exynos users has come to Lollipop. But due to some reason I need a custom kernel with init.d support and a little customize in "init.rc" on stock "boot.img": setenforce 0 to set SElinux mode from Enforcing to Permissive.

After Googling and Ubuntu, Decompile and recompile things. I can't get Kernel to boot as normal.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brasilianman:
Hello everyone. I'm a casual installer of custom roms for my past few android phones, latest phone I did new install was for my Galaxy S2 i777 model to have Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed into it. Unfortunately my phone fried on me after some electrical issues at my apartment recently so I went ahead and got a new back-up phone until I'm able to afford a better phone in the near future. Luckily I ran my auto backup and have the latest files saved through my dropbox so nothing lost.

I went to get a cheap GSM phone and I got a Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T599 for $49.99. I like the features within it, and definitely a pretty powerful little machine for its price. I was able to root it with KingoRoot with ease, but I'm interested in installing a custom rom. Not much found through my searching. The closest I found were these links:

Occasionally an app displays content in the wrong aspect ratio. For instance, the SuperFilm.pl app stretches movies to fit the screen regardless of the movie's original aspect ratios and the Little Big Adventure port stretches the 4:3 video of the original game to whatever your device screen is.

XAspect lets you force a particular aspect setting for an app. A number of common aspect ratios are included, and one can also set a custom one.
