I will PM you about the file you need as all references to it seem to have been removed from the site.

You then put the file onto an empty microSD card and put the card into the phone.

When you turn on the phone ho hold in the 'record' button (top left hand side viewed from the front of the phone) and the phone should go into boot-loader mode and recover the OS from the microSD card.

Does it matter if anything else is on the SD card?

Do I need to update to a newer WM5 Rom after as I think i saw that 02 1 is a bit old??
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] RudydG:
Sorry, but doesnt a hard reset solves this problem?? (if the lock is on the phone) sipmle and quick solution.

If it is the sim that is locked, contact you provider.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Gajet:
Considering flashing the ROM is deffinately going to wipe any saved texts etc. Surely a simpler option is a hard reset?

Press and hold both soft-keys, press the stylus into the reset hole, release reset, wait for message on screen and release soft-keys.

This will return the phone to out-of the -factory state, so again you will loose all saved data in system memory and all installed applications in system memory.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] morfis:
Not quite. Flashing the ROM will erase your "sentimental" messages.

Just Hard Reset it....Wont ask for the password...you will loose your data on the device though....and if your data is on the PC can sync again...no issue there...but the service centers will not remove the password...I had the same issue...and thats what i did.

cheers
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] gurth4ng:
yeah all you have to do is hard reset the pda and then the password will be erased, along with all your data ofc.

It would be interesting though to find a way to "crack" the password or somehow remove or bypass it..... :confused:

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tleung927:
I am waing the tablet 2 come out but seems they won't until next yr. so now i start to look for a lte ver shield tablet. But seems like they are out of stock on most of the reliable website (amazon,official website ,newegg). And i also concern will I buy a fire hazard at this moment?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisjason:
I don't know when there will be retail stock again. Nvidia is dealing with a big recall that's eating up a lot of stock right now. There are a lot of new-in-box tablets available on eBay and on Swappa right now because people are selling their recall replacements tablets. Just make sure it's post-recall and it should have the new battery.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tleung927:
is there any thing i can check it carry new battery
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisjason:
Once you get the tablet you can check it in the settings

http://tabletrecall.expertproductinquiry.com/registration

The only way to check beforehand would be to get the serial number and see if it falls between 0410215901781 and 0425214604018. If you buy one that someone received from the recall, it should have the new battery, though there have been at least a few instances where people got the bad battery again.

To honest, I'm not sure I'd really recommend buying a Shield Tablet with all the issues they've had. I'm personally moving on to another tablet, as I find I don't really use the gaming features as much as I thought. Unless you really really need all the gaming features, you might be better off with something else.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tleung927:
what could suggest for other android tablet?:D
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisjason:
It depends on how you're gonna use it. If you manage to get a Shield Tablet without any issues, it's still far and away the best tablet for Android gaming. It doesn't have a great screen or great battery life, and build quality seems very hit-or-miss, but other tablets can't match the gaming features.

I just picked up the Dell Venue 10 7000, mostly for the bigger, better screen and the keyboard dock. I'm happy with it so far.

The Dell Venue 8 7000 is a better direct comparison to the Shield Tablet in terms of size, screen is about the same size, but much better quality. Build quality and design seems nicer also. I played around with that one at Best Buy before I bought the Venue 10 7000.

There's also the Xperia Z3 tablet and the Nexus 9, which both look good, and Samsung's line-up, but I don't have any personal experience with those.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cristallix:
Hi ~

- Be kind with me, it's my first post! -

I'm facing a very bad problem with my Galaxy S6. A week ago I received an OTA from Samsung and I installed it. My phone rebooted and showed the bugdroid, meaning that the update was progressing. After that, the device keep rebooting over and over just after I entered my encryption password. I said to myself that I can try to wipe the cache because maybe an application was causing this problem. But now, the device is only showing the Samsung logo then just shut himself off.

Now I need your help to get my data. The hard part is that my device is encrypted. After many hour of search I see two solutions:

Flash the rom via ODIN

Install TWRP which can read encrypted volumes

The first solution seems easy and I keep the warranty. The problem is that I'm not 100% sure that flashing the rom again will not touch the /data and /sdext partitions (and the header/footer where master key are to decrypt the volume).

The second solution seems safer and should not touch any other partitions. But knox counter will be incremented and I will loose my warranty.

So, does anyone could test if flashing the rom via ODIN do not absolutely touch encrypted volumes and certificate that I will be able to get my data again?

Thank you a lot
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roydok:
Have a leap of faith. Go ahead and flash. Otherwise bring it to Samsung for warranty repair. They may be able to recover your data for you.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cristallix:
I want to be sure and I don't want to loose any photos if possible, so no :D

I already tried to go in a Samsung repair store (Allo PSM), but they just don't care about my data, their job is just to make the phone working again.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cristallix:
So Anyone is able to confirm to me that flashing stock Galaxy S6 ROM (AP Via Odin) doesn't touch the /data and /sdext partition that are encrypted? :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cristallix:
After many hours of search, I was able to make my phone working again! :D

For anyone concerned by the problem in the future, here's some informations:

You can flash a stock rom, your encrypted /data will not be erased and you will be prompt to enter your password on the next boot

In my case flashing a newer rom didn't solve my problem (bootloop after entering the password of the encrypted partition). I had to flash the rom that was in the phone before the OTA.

Now everything seems to working again. No data were lost, all my configuration was saved. Android showed a message that a problem occurred during the upgrade process and I sent logs to Samsung, hoping that it will help them!

My opinion is that you will need a flame-proof suit.

Each ROM is different, try them and choose what you prefer. The official release ROMS are apparently quite good. I personaly use Black Majik, and will update to Black Satin when it is available.

yes I tried several rom and the best one is black majik because it very fast and stable

I'm running Black Majik at the moment but really like Schap's ROMS.

Looking forward to his new one being released.

If you haven't loaded a cooked ROM before make sure you read the instructions on this forum.

Easier to spend some time reading now compared to spending time later trying to fix.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:
Peter,

Read read read..:rolleyes: . However, to answer some questions and hopefully help.

Try looking over my experience here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315119. I describe, with lots of relevant links, of my very successful experience with moving from WM5 to WM6 and Black MAJIK and the (then) latest radio version of 1.43.

No you do not need to change CID or radio to change OS ROM (ROM is in 3 variants: Radio, Extended and OS) Some upgrade ROMs can comprise any single, any mix or all ROMs combined - you'll need to read up on this on the actual ROM post links. The Hermes Wiki is the starting point but my experience will certainly help)

I have no experience of other ROMs but after LOTS of reading selected Black MAJIK and have not looked back since - see my linked post for comments from others too.

The Black series of OS ROMs are produced by JJ and he is working on a newer ROM called Black SATIN. JJ has a web site with basic 'Black' ROM info (http://wmblack.info/) and the download link. However, this only links to the latest 'Black' OS ROM and the latest version (SATIN) was broken so has been taken off the site. Take a look around for other posted links to his earlier version of Black MAJIK and you should find it if wanted (others are already asking and it's posted there somewhere I am sure - many of use have it on our PCs.

Black SATIN is based upon one of the official OS ROM releases (most other OS ROMs are not) but has been 'cooked' to modify it by adding/removing elements and optimising performance. All of the WM6 ROMs out there will have their fans and although the many posts are VERY long it is worth at least skim reading a few to get the general impression of the qualities of the ROM that you are interested in.

If you do not want to unblock your device (Super CID) to work with any sim card then the process could be:

1. Backup device settings/files and get all the files and config details saved

2. Read the advice then - Install Hard SPL

3. Read the advice then - Install new OS

4. Read the advice then - Install the new radio ROM

5. Rebuild and configure the device

The above process can be done physically in about 1 hour! BUT there is lots of reading to do. I personally spent about 3 days reading and alraedy had lots of knowldege - this is not actually required but such reading will greatly ease your fears of 'bricking' your device and leave you better able to cope should anything go wrong. When you have done it once then the process is very simply and you'll not think much of doing it all again - that's why so many people just tell you to read the posts and especially the wiki because they did for very good reason.

Warning - if you mess up the process by not following the very clear instructions then chances are it will have ben your own fault. But others will be there to help and it is most unlikely that someone on this site has not seen your problem.

Good luck :)

You must have misread my post. I assume that you mean the link to Black MAJIK - and if so then I wrote:

"However, this only links to the latest 'Black' OS ROM and the latest version (SATIN) was broken so has been taken off the site.

Your reply above to Peter7 ... "Read read read..etc" is one of the most succinct, clearly written & easy to understand posts I've read since I've started visiting here. From reading it ... and following the link to wmblacks website, I've found a ROM that I'm willing to try as my first departure from the native WM5 ROM that came with my Dopod 838Pro. My only disappointment is that Black Satin is not yet available.

Oh, well! I guess after I've upgraded once, a second upgrade will be all that much easier.

Regards ... and have a good day!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:

I have been carrying my Idol 3 around in my back jeans pocket. Unfortunately the screen cracked today and damaged the touch sensor so it won't accept my password. I contacted Alcatel support and was told they couldn't provide repair pricing. I was emailed a form that listed alcatel.finetw.com as the warranty repair portal and told to fill out an RMA, return the phone to Alcatel and they would contact me with a repair estimate. The first question in the FAQ at the RMA website is:

Q1 What happens if my handset is determined to be Out of Warranty by either date code (Manufacturer's warranty period) or condition (physical or liquid damage) upon receipt and triage by the Alcatel Repair Center?

If a handset is determined to be Out of Warranty by the Alcatel Repair Center due to the above conditions, it will be returned to the owner un-repaired.

which would imply that I would be wasting money sending the phone to Alcatel for repair.

Has anyone sent their Idol 3 in for repair of a broken screen? If so, what was your experience and what did the repair cost?
