I'm seeking information in anticipation of my upgrade time in September. I'm on a £20/month contract with O2 and because of this they always want to rape my pockets when I want to upgrade (example: when I got my XDA2i it was £99 on a new £20/month contract but they wanted me to pay £250 for it as an upgrade on a £20/month contract).

This means that to get the phone I want I have to start a new contract. This means that I have to get a new number, which is a pain in the posterior. Does anyone know if I can start a new contract with them, ask for the porting authorisation code for the number of my current contract, then tell them to switch it over? They have told me that I can't keep the same number (WHY? All this does is encourage me to go to another provider because with them I COULD keep my O2 number) but do you know if my just giving them a PAC issues by them would work?

Basically, can anyone think of a way I can get the phone I want, for the price I want (so probably has to be on a new contract), and keep my number?
[General Topics] richardlai:
So you basically want to stay with O2 using the same number, right? I thought you can always start a new contract using the same number.

If I were you I would just tell them that you might as well move to a different network. They'll do anything to keep you (I've just got my PAC from them today, moving to 3 some time this week).

Stupid policies.

PS: I wonder if you can pretend to be moving from a different network using the same number? :D
[General Topics] Anjow:
I was told by them a couple of years ago that you can't keep the same number if you're staying with them. Which seems absurd if you CAN keep it if you're going to a different provider, as it would only encourage people to change to someone else.

That's what I was thinking. I don't know about PACs though, whether they'd know from the PAC if it was issued by themselves.

Last few days i was trying to unlock my htc one s boot-loader using cmd from of my windows 8.1 laptop. But when connect my device on fastboot mod in my laptop and type command on my windows command form :- " fastboot oem get_identifier_token. "

It replayed me that -> " 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command. "

Please, Someone tell me that, what i have to do right now.............................:confused::confused::confused:
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Install ADB/fastboot and select "systemwide" during installation. Then you will be able to use "fastboot" commands from any directory. Otherwise the commands are only executable in your "working directory" (The directory where fastboot.exe is stored)

If your phone is not recognized by Win 8.1 use "htc-msm8960-win81-fastboot.reg" which can be downloaded HERE

Make sure to uninstall or fully disable HTC Sync before using fastboot commands.

Hello guys. I have HTC Sensation, Bootloader unlocked, S-ON, HBOOT-1.27.0000

Yesterday I tried to flash TWRP using fastboot. I have downloaded ADB drivers and also HTC drivers. Connected device and everything was working good. ADB showed my device serial number (or what it is, I don't remember) when I type "adb devices" in command. Then I typed "cd Downloads" to point to download directory (this is where I have twrp.img) and at least "adb reboot bootloader" . Device rebooted into bootloader, but, suddenly, popup appeared on my laptop, it was saying "USB device not recognized". I have closed it and go into command, I typed "adb devices" again, but it didn't show anything at this time. Then I run command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and it returned "Waiting for device...".

After no luck., I have tried to install twrp.img though Flashify. It successfully flashed. I go into recovery, make a backup, perform clean wipe and tried to flash CM12. But it didn't flash. Then I go to restore tab but I can't see my backup. So, TWRP is not flashing anything, I have even tried stock ROM, also it's not backing up things. So now, I'm in bootloop, no OS is installed on my sensation and every time I boot up device, it automatically going into recovery.

I have laptop running Windows 10. I want to make ADB working in bootloader mode or make TWRP working to flash something.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
adb doesn't work in bootloader, only fastboot

when you enter in bootlaoder choose fastboot

in the hboot screen you will see fastboot usb

then you can use any fastboot command

i suggest to change the recovery to 4ext

http://d-h.st/rG7

extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command

then before flashing the new rom from 4ext enable smartflash from it(because you are on S-ON)
[HTC Sensation] burduli:
It doesn't even works in fastboot too :/ So I can't use any fastboot command

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztandroid:
Hi guys.

So here's the story :

I flashed lollipop firmware in my Note 3 Exynos then rooted it and did some must have things to my phone (install busybox, greenify, mod systemui to hide sfinder button, enable theme support fot TW, adding some feature by editing others.xml). Few days later, I tried to take picture using stock camera and suddenly my phone shuted down itself, with no luck my phone won't booted completely (samsung logo and then blank). (I'm able to enter download mode but not with recovery mode).

So I tried to flash stock using odin and here's another problem, odin stuck at "initialization", I did some research and ended with conclusion that I need to flash .PIT file alongside with stock firmware.

I have no knowledge to build .PIT file from scratch with PIT Magic.

So please guys help me if you already have any .PIT file with you, please share with me. Or there's alternative way to fix the problem?

Thanks.

Update:

I found the PIT file but still no luck, odin stuck at "initialization". What could posibbly wrong? I have orignal usb cable, trying from different port with no luck. Need enlightment...thanks in advance.

I Visa'd a pre-order today for the I-Mate Ultimate 7150,

I'd love to know from Hermes users:

Knowing that we all have varying priorities with these devices,....how would moving to that device strike you?

I've loved the Hermes...one of the best buys for me...ever!

I'd like to make the whole experience better....and, yes, it'l be bigger!

Other than a bit of a concern with the sizo of the device, it truly seems to be a step up on most every front.

(Also, where would that device likely fall in the wiki?).

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Aridon:
Its nice, i'd considering getting it. Its not really that much bigger than a Hermes and you gain an inch of screen which is nice.

Can you talk on it like a phone or blue tooth only? If they released that ***** with some buttons on the front for dialing and maybe a small LCD for caller id or something I'd pre order right now. If its bluetooth only I'll probably pass.

TWRP RECOVERY - 2.8.5.0 - XOLO Q3000 with OTG support​

Procedure to follow

download the recovery.

then flash recovery using sptools /flashify /mobileuncle tool using these guides.

[YOUTUBE]ey_-3YT-h0U[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]05keW_WrUlA[/YOUTUBE]

OR

if ur using any custom recovery from this thread then

get a flashable recovery which can be flashed from current recovery.

Just reboot to recovery for confirmation.

This is working recovery - tested by me.

flashed JB & KK rom.

Backup and restore without any issues.

OTG is also working properly - FAT/FAT32 formatted USB drives only.

As u all know our device has 6mb recovery partition size.

So while porting i need to trim the actual recovery.

U will not be able to partition ur sd card using this recovery.

Also u wont be able to root using this recovery.

For above issues we have better solutions.

Try and report.

​

For official change logs, see here:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Bugs:-

After mounting usb otg in recovery, to get back to the previous screen click the back key of the device.

Backup is stored in new folder storage/TWRP/Backups/Q3000/ date and name of rom

So if u want backups to be restored from previous versions of TWRP recovery just move the backup folders in above folder.

Use recovery with theme always - images are reduced in size so it may give graphical glitch when u use plain recovery.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTPTBx:
Hi guyz.

I need the attention of the developers who are working or willing to work on the root of Note 3 (N9005) at the stretch of not tripping knox.

I have been able to root Note 3 (N9005) on Android 5.0 Lollipop but for some reason the SuperSU 2.48 BETA needs some rework. Once an app is granted Interactive shell, it keeps giving up these pop ups from time to time and the app gets Frozen.

If someone can make a HOTFIX or something for this I would help in any way I can.

This root is dependent on a Pre-rooted 4.4.2 (Updated to Last release of KitKat) then Upgraded to Lollipop via Mobile ODIN Pro and preserving the root.

The binary has ended up resulting in 2 different scenarios for me.

1). The Update Binary prompt gets stuck and there is no way to fix it.

2). The Update Binary prompt works 100% but the Interactive shell gets broken or non-responsive.

My opinion: Requesting immediate changes/workarounds for SuperSU shell integeration and access.

If anyone can come up with some kind of fix or workaround, I would appreciate it.

Took me 2 weeks to make the root stay on Android Lollipop 5.0 N9005 LTE.

Hello everyone!

Well, I have quite unusual question..

The housing of my Xperia Z2 is in terrible condition. I have used Love Mei metal bumper for some time but it was made very imprecisly so as fast as possible I took it off and threw away to avoid more damage of my Xperia. The varnish on the corners is gone and there are several chippings on the silver strips around the housing. What is more power button has scratches too. I don't want to change whole housing, what I would like to do is to paint it somehow and recycle it that way. Could anyone give me some tips how to start, what kind of varnish should I use, and is it simply worth a shot?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ip3fix:
Hello,

My father recently bought the ZE550ML, and he's having issues with his SIM1 when 4G LTE is enabled (not necessarily in use): the network icon simply disappears as if SIM1 disabled by itself. All latest updates have been done, so we're worrying that it could be a hardware issue. From what I could gather on a French forum, changing SIM doesn't solve anything.

Does anyone else have that issue? Or at least know about it?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twotems:
I've noticed the same problem with my ZE551ML 4gb 32gb WW version. When I'm on 4g I have mostly zero signal on sim 1. Switching to 3G/H+ solves the problem. Not a major issue data wise since T-Mobile H+ is plenty fast but this shouldn't be happening. I missed quite a few calls due to this but could make Internet calls on the 4G connection with zero bars! Meanwhile I'm permanently on H+ for now.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ip3fix:
Actually, it's not that he has zero signal; the SIM1 icon with signal bars just disappears as if the card was disabled (and indeed, it's marked as disabled in the settings in such cases).

Please help. I saved some money and bought this phone in January via a friend abroad (xt1033) and by February updated it to lollipop but few days later after the update the phone suddenly rebooted and got in the boot loop. Since then I haven't been able to use the phone for three months.
