So far, no go. Still trying to make sure I did it right but I believe I did. Still only seeing H+ and if I change it to LTE Only in the Device information menu I get no signal whereas I still had a LTE signal on my Nexus 4.

I did the following:

Copy file /system/etc/catalog/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_US/telephony_config/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_US_726x.xml to /system/etc/catalog/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_CN/telephony_config/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_CN_726x.xml

EDIT: I did get an LTE signal quickly after I set the preferred network type to LTE only, but once I set it back to LTE/GSM auto it went away. Still trying to get t back but so far nothing.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
Need to wait for bootloader unlock. In this case, it's possible to compile custom kernel with spoofed region.

All this is based in theory that hardware in all region are the same. If hardware different, then change of region is impossible.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
But if you don't change files, setting LTE-only doesn't give you LTE signal?
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
update: check folder /local_cfg/telephony_config

check if your changes reflected there. If not, then change xml file there.

don't forget to reboot.
[ZenFone 2 General] jacko5:
Ok lets see if i am reading this right.

IF this works does it mean i can buy a China . CN . Zenfone 2 and them make it into a WW version so all 4 bands work ?

I am in the UK and need all 4g bands to work.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
The key word is "IF". Still no confirmation. May be need more changes. There is region mention also in /factory partition.
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
As far as I could tell. I got a weak signal on band 4 after making the changes, but I guess not strong enough that it's not connecting or drops pretty much right away if I'm reading the results from my LTE Discovery app right.

Yup, rebooted but will try this tonight if I can find the time.
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
Screenshot is what I see in LTE Discovery when I set preferred network to LTE. It shows band 12 and earlier I saw band 4. Only difference is I performed the first suggestion this time, but I didn't revert my earlier change. It looks like I'm getting these two bands now but if you look up too there is no network connection.

By first suggestion I mean this:

So, if you have rooted Zenfone 2, then you can copy ze550ml_WW_726x.tlv to ze550ml_TW_726x.tlv if you want to convert TW model to WW model. (Similar for CN->WW). You need to open /system partition for write access (R/W). You can do everything in Root Explorer.

It may be that ze550ml_XX_726x.tlv files are protected by check-summ and name, so replacing the file my brake radio functionality. In this case you have to return you original ze550ml_XX_726x.tlv file and try another method described below.

I basically copied everything from ze550ml_US_726x.tlv to ze550ml_CN_726x.tlv.

Strange.

Oh, and I did check that other file and my initial change appears there as well.
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
Quick update. This morning as I was driving to work I saw the data indicator change from H/H+ to 4G a few times. I tried to run speedtest while on 4G, and got up to ~ 32 Mbps down but it did not work when speedtest tried to test the upload speed. Unfortunately it was only in a small area so I had it for all of 15 minutes or so.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
In /factory partition, there is several mentions of region.

/factory/PhoneInfodisk/country_code

/factory/PhoneInfodisk/PhoneInfo_inf

These files are not text, but binary. So, you need HEX editor to modify (region is coded by letters as usual TW, WW, CN, etc.).

And don't forget to backup these files, because it's not part of a firmware. If you lost/tamper them, then only backup copy can save you.

I recommend to backup whole /factory folder to be safe.
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been making backups of each file that I edited, just in case. Anyway tonight going to try a hard reset tonight because I've been having some other issues, then reflash the pre-root image and go from there.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorrow777:
Thank you for this information. I do not have a rooted ze551ml is there a way to root the ze551ml yet? I may have to attempt this when I get the moment. For now I will be monitoring this thread.

Mine is WW, I am in the US and I only get H+
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
Another quick update. I did both the first and second method in the first post, and LTE pops up sporadically. After doing the first method I lost signal (I wasn't even prompted to enter in my SIM PIN) until I also applied the second method, both times copying over the WW text over to the CN file. I've seen both band 2 and band 4, but it cuts in and out and the speeds are slow where I currently am. H+ also cuts in and out so I'm starting to wonder if I possibly got a phone with a bad radio. Ugh.
[ZenFone 2 General] graphO:
At which frequency bands does your ISP transmit FDD-LTE data?
[ZenFone 2 General] ward24:
Does anyone know why I can make calls but not receive them on my zenfone2 ? I have a T-Mobile Sim but I can do everything else just not receive call I need some help
[ZenFone 2 General] hkdmjack:
I'm receiving LTE signal on bands 2 and 4, but more prevalently 4.
[ZenFone 2 General] alexw801:
And how can you see which LTE band is working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] tallshorty:
I am looking at this one currently. And I think it is not bad. I can get it in Canada for $90 CAD plus the BT dongle, which I think is a good deal.

Has anyone used these before?

I search DRBT30Q but found nothing. Didn't think about searching generically for sony blueooth headphones.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] open1your1eyes0:
Just FYI, this seems to be a big bug in Verizon Visual Voicemail app for a long time now (even the same issue on my Sony Xperia Z3v just before this device).

Anytime I start playing the voicemail and soon as I bring it to my ear, it locks the device and stops playing the voicemail message I am listening to. I have checked every setting I can think of and I think this is a big bug in the app.

If anyone knows a fix or workaround for this issue please do let us know.

UPDATE: Workaround found - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60386275&postcount=3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dansto82:
Works just fine on my phone just tried it, no locking and no stop playing when holding up to my ear same thing on my note 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] open1your1eyes0:
I figured out how the issue works but confirmed for sure it's a bug with the application.

If you go into your lock-screen security settings, I usually set mine to lock immediately on screen-off (I guess the default is some 30 seconds or so). If I change the screen-off lock timeout to 30 seconds or something then the screen goes off but the voicemail still plays since it's not locking the device. However if the voicemail ends up being longer than 30 seconds then of course at the 30-second mark it will lock and stop playing.

This seems to be the workaround but the issue is still there and can be considered a security issue if you need to have your lock timeout set longer just to be able to hear voicemails playing on the lockscreen once you already started them. Regular media still plays if you lock the device so there's no reason why the voicemail app shouldn't.

If anyone has any other details about this it would be much appreciated. This is for sure specific to Verizon's Visual Voice Mail app not allowing to stay running on the lockscreen.

I submitted a ticket with Verizon's IT team explaining all these details and and they said they will get back to me shortly.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfhumble:
So I rooted by Galaxy S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.4. (please be specific, Im new to this). My device is ALREADY rooted and 100% confirmed, as I used root checker.

And now everytime I open gallery or do certain things, It tells me "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working."

I read on a thread you can Rename or replace the ContextService.apk file located under /system/priv-app to fix it, So where do I get a non corrupt copy? And how do I access the /system/priv-app area? Connect to a pc?

Also, wouldnt replacing with a non corrupt version be more important that renaming it and no longer working? Do we not need it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfhumble:

So I downloaded Root Explorer app to find that "/system/priv-app area" and nothing. I can not find any "system" file or Priv-app area.

[Meizu MX] Viliukas1:
Hello , everytime i restart my Meizu M1 NOTE , all of my folders dissapear and all icons are put on screen. Any help?
[Meizu MX] iicc:
I recommend you to reflash your actual firmware (or upgrade to the latest).

It probably will work
[Meizu MX] Viliukas1:
How do i do that?
[Meizu MX] iicc:
First, you have to see your current rom. You can see it in settings>information.

I recomend you to install the Flyme 4.2.0.4A, is not the latest but the best for me.

You can download all the roms here:

http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=17448940

(I will create a thread here later)

Simply download the rom and open the "update.zip" with the "documents" preinstalled flyme app.

It will guide you the instalation. You will se it is very easy.
[Meizu MX] Viliukas1:
Thank you very much , another question. If i reflash will my apps get deleted? I will get a fresh phone?
[Meizu MX] iicc:
During the instalation, you will have two options, to erase data or not.

If you select the option of erasing data, it will be erased everything except photos and music.

If you dont select anything, only the system will be formatted. The rest will be remain the same as before the instalation
[Meizu MX] Viliukas1:
But recommended is to erase everything?
[Meizu MX] iicc:
It depends, if you are going to go to a newest firmare, it is not necessary.

If you are downgrading it is highly recommended.

Also, if you have a big problem and a normal flash dont solves it, a complete erase would be better
[Meizu MX] joevik:
Try to install the latest firmware. 4.2.0.5A or A beta version of the lollipop firmware can be downloaded from

So, I thought I rooted my phone correctly. I followed these instructions from the page "Root I545VRUFNK1 Galaxy S4 I545 Without Tripping Knox" on androidayos. I downloaded root checker basic from the google play store and it said root access was not properly installed on the device. Anyone know if that app is credible? I also downloaded SuperSU on the Google Play Store and it told me there was no SU binary installed. I then got impatient and attempted to find an easy way to unroot my phone. I downloaded Root Uninstaller on the Google Play Store and uninstalled Towelroot APK using Root Uninstaller. I still have Root Checker Basic, which keeps telling me that root is not properly installed on my device.

How do I unroot my phone and then properly root it. Should I just send my phone back to factory settings first? I have android 4.4.2. Sorry if I seem clueless about rooting. I'm a total noob and this is my time trying to hack a device and I know what the average person does about technology.

Did you use odin to flash the NC5 kernel BEFORE rooting? If not do this. You must flash the NC5 kernel, root, install SuperSU, then flash the NK1 kernel.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Jygar:
Unfortunately I do not know, I haven't even tested the UK version as I am not sure if it will work, however I did update the RUU.

Shame we cannot emulate the firmware install!

The T-Mob UK dumped ROM isn't quite right - the w'n'w home page doesn't work properly.

Minor thing but, one of the first things I tested :(

I dumped my friends ROM the other day. I'm currently working on building it and testing it - will let you know when it's done :)

Cheers,

Smiffy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lordsmiff:
Hmmm...humble pie - lovely :)

Well, after flashing the ROM i dumped the other day, I had exactly the same thing with IE.

It took me about 3 seconds to realise it must be because the extROM had been flashed by one of the WM6 ROMs I had been using in the past.

As it turns out, this is the case so I can confirm that if you have the same issue, download the extROM dumo from the wiki (from this page) and delete the current contents of your extROM and copy the downloaded one back to it. Hard reset, and voila - everything back the way T-Mobile shipped (apart from Radio ROM, IPL\SPL etc...) but WTH ;-)

Smiffy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trapper:
How can I do that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tony.wheeler:
Trapper,

I assume you mean how can you put the correct Extended ROM onto your device? If I understand this correctly, the ROMs mentioned in Jygar's first post are the original main ROM but the Extended ROM is in fact from a Windows Mobile 6 ROM (I do not believe that flashing a ROM will affect the Extended ROM - the problem is that the re-flashed (downgraded) WM5 ROM is starting the Extended ROM installation after the basic OS install (as normal) but that Extended ROM is still a WM6 one.

The page that is linked to includes many Extended ROMs from many countries and devices - one of them an original T-Mobile ROM (here) and if you were to unlock/unhide and mount your Extended ROM you would be able to delete the incorrect (WM6) ones and then paste in these original Extended ROM files.

The Extended ROM files are executed during a hard reset after the OS has been installed - details of how this works are within this forum. I am not sure that you need to do a hard reset but it all depends on whether you stopped the device completing a normal (complete) install. After a hard reset the device will start to execute the Extended ROM files/.cabs and if you stop that with a soft reset as soon as it starts then the device will re-boot with a basic WM build (with no service provider fixes/updates/customisations/settings)

If this is all explaining what you already know then sorry but your question posted is rather open... Hope this helps

@tony.wheeler - What was the original radio version of your Vario II? I'm in the process of creating a complete upgrade to restore UK MDA Vario II's to their 'out of the box' state with the original ROMs (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, OS, Radio ExtROM)

Phil
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Jygar:
eek, think it was 1.03?

[edit]Have done a search it appears it is 1.05!

only problem is this is HTC_BOOT 0106 and most ppl are now patched to 0108 so I would have thought we cannot downgrade our radio rom.

TBH 1.43 is the best radio rom out and i cannot say a bad word against it. I have only eva updated my radio rom and since the radio update have not had a problem with the origional t-mob os.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jm012a9749:
Hehe, yeah i found out it was 1.05 as well. Oh well, I'll use 1.07 in my NBH. I now have a complete ROM backup (IPL, SPL, GSM, OS, MainSplash, SubSplash, ExtROM) to revert back to should anything ever happen which means I would need to claim on the warranty.
