who cares, at this day and age only USA and China use it, the rest of the planet use gsm sim cards that are 100% independent from your imei, we can swap devices and carries all day long, want a solution get USA start removing rights from there providers, like owning the devices you payed instead of you
[General Topics] zelendel:
Actually only a few carriers (CDMA) still link it. The rest use the same setup as else where. The biggest issue is that the number is supposed to be uniqe and not stored anywhere except the OEM and the blacklist data base. This is due to the cell phone cloning act from years ago. Where I can take your device IMEI and use it in a crime, then when they track the device by IMEI it leads to you and not me. All I will say is that it can lead to huge legal trouble. And no I wont talk about how I know lol

after rooting with kingroot; I unrooted, with kingroot, and root checker says my phone is not rooted anymore. I did a factory reset after that. Is there anything more I can do to protect my information??

Apart from the IMEI and other info the poster mentioned, what other information is transmitted to the kingroot servers? I had my fingerprints recorded on the phone; is there a chance that was transmitted also?

regretting trying kingroot after reading up on it!

thanks.

I had the mobile app but whenever I tried to open it, it crashed. Is there still a chance that it stole my phone's info by running a process in the background for example?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HyphaeXDA:
Okay guys, here we go....

I bought a "unlocked" M8. I tried to update the HTC software immediately. However, it said I needed to revert to official HTC software. I went to HTC.com and support page. During the support chat, she got me to install an RUU that belong to ATT. My phone wasn't made for art, not did I have art service. Now, I cannot surf the web, watch YouTube, download apps or anything. I can't do any of those things with cellular data, as I was able to before this ATT RUU. I can only make calls with my m8. If I'm on Wi-Fi, then I can surf the web, download apps, etc.

So, my question is..... How do I get rid of this RUU ATT? I want start fresh where I didn't have att and all the bloatware. I was able to do stuff with my cellular data where I'm not able to now.... What's up guys?

I've been trying to learn, and I think I gotta start with ADB. and flash a recovery:? I dunno. Please help guys. I'ma call HTC at next available opportunity.

Try factory reset
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HyphaeXDA:
Yeah, I've tried that many times. I've erased the cache partition, done factory reset, etc. And I've rebooted to Fastboot USB MODE, hook it up to PC, and tried the other RUU. But it didn't work. I can't only make phone calls. I can't do anything else with the cellular service. What should I do? Start off by unlocking boot loader, right? With ADB. Or do I need to change ID numbers to match? Or should I use a custom recovery with adb?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Not enough info. Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output. Be

sure

to delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal info.

Meaning

what

? What RUU did you try (

exact

file name) and what was the result? Was there an error code, if so what did it say?

You need to be much more specific if you want proper help.

How can we know that, if you haven't told us the device's CID or MID in the first place, or the RUU (other than ATT) you tried to run?

If you installed an ATT RUU, and don't use ATT as your carrier, you will need to manually enter your carrier's APN info to get internet. That is probably your main problem as far as getting cell internet service.

Hello,

I figuerd out a curiousity with WP10 and Dual Sim phones. I have a Lumia 640 and 2 Lumia 950 here. One L950 has a SIM Card from Vodafone and run perfect in SIM Slot 1. Data work fine when Wlan is of from 2G to LTE as it should be. In the L640 and the other L950 I use SIM Cards from Provider Telekom / Congstar (which is also Telekom and use same network). Both phones are not able to provide any Data connection when the SIM card is in Slot one while both connect imeditaly once I move the SIM card in Slot 2 :confused:

I won't care at all to use Slot 2 instead of Slot one but all contacts are without SIM card then and you have to switch all manualy to SIM 2 which is anoying. I verify that I use the exact same settings on Slot 1 and Slot 2 and I also switch back the card but again no Data in Slot. I already find some user with simmilar Problem but nobody had a better solution then to switch to Slot 2. Does anyone here run into simmilar trouble and / or have an idea how to fix that bug?
[Windows 10 Mobile] killed2:
which sim did you choose for the data connection? 1 or 2
[Windows 10 Mobile] olarf:
I select 1 once I had the sim in slot1 and 2 when the sim was in slot2. However, with the latest update on fastring it is fixed on the lumia 640 and it has now data in slot 1 as it should be. Unfortunatly the 950 dont take the update. I read that a factory reset can fix it !?
[Windows 10 Mobile] GOgzs:
I was traveling recently to Poland and had that exact issue. Polish SIM in SIM1 slot, my homeland SIM in SIM2 and I had issues with getting a data connection. Swapped the PL SIM to SIM2 and it worked.

Issue now resolved with the latest update. Why don't you just enrol your 950 into the slow ring and get the updates?
[Windows 10 Mobile] olarf:
I already have my 9650 on the fast ring but no update appears. WIll try the slow ring now, maybe it apperars then. Some Boards already reprot that MS has trouble to provide the update to 950 / 950XL

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enabran:
Hello.

I have rooted a Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012) and installed CyanogenMod (cm-12.1-20151211-NIGHTLY-tate.zip) with TWRP. All was ok.

After 5 days of normal use, for cleaning the Kindle, I made a reset by Android classical option, in settings. And the Kindle won't restart !

In starting, the "Kindle Fire" shows in orange.

Few seconds later, the "Kindle Fire" shows in blue.

Few seconds later, a blue screen called "Teamwin" shows and hide approximately each 2 seconds.

So, I think my Kindle is bricked but perhaps have you got a solution ?

Thanks.

PS : sorry for my english, I am a french user.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enabran:
So, I used the Kindle Fire HD recovery tool (found in this forum) for try booting with first option (Restore-Factory Rooted with SuperSU.apk). The process is done it correctly, the files copied. In the center of the screen, a little logo "fastboot" show. I thinked it's good, but after reboot, the Kindle loop now with the original logo orange "kindle fire" and won't starting. What's the matter ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
You need to do recovery and boot as well. I would also wipe data
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enabran:
OK, but I don't know how to do. I have tryed these commands (with the drivers) :

adb reboot

But not recognition of the device...

News.

I made a DIY factory cable and I succeeded in restarting the tablet. I have re-rooted it, reinstalled CyanogenMod and she works perfectly. However, after the installation, I realized that I did not have access anymore to the root (in Android setup, the root access is even so selected). I tried of the re-rooting with Restore_by_Bin4ry but unsuccessfully.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
You have to change Root Access to "Disabled" in developer options, and then toggle it back to "Apps and ADB". Once you do that, root works flawlessly. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enabran:
I had already tried 3 root options but that does not work. :( Re-rooting with Restore_by_Bin4ry works badly : the Kindle restart 2 times instead 3 until the end of process.

My CyanogenMod version : cm-12.1-20151216-NIGHTLY-tate
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
That's odd - try downloading and flashing SuperSU.

Could you please point me to the steps you followed? I do not have a fastboot cable yet, but will get one shortly. Thanks in advance.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enabran:
First, download and unzip the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

- Double clic on SR Tool.bat

- Connect the Kindle with factory cable

- Select option 1 and hit Enter

- Wait during restore (no ETA display)..........

- When done, select option 6 for reboot the Kindle.

When reboot, if it's ok :

• Logo Kindle Fire orange

• Logo Kindle Fire blue

• TWRP interface displayed

• Reinstall CyanogenMod

When reboot, if troubleshooting, TWRP don't show. Well :

• Close the Kindle in press a few seconds the power button and restart. A amazing "listing" show, with error messages and only 2 options.

• With the + and - buttons, select the original Amazon Android restore (I forgot the exactly label) and press one time the power button for validate. Wait during restore..........

After, follow this video for re-rooting, flashing and reinstall CyanogenMod : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVuvR-hHOLE

Thank you for the detailed reply...

Sorry for the late reply, Enabran. Your English is very good, and is way better than my French :D

I have not been able to attempt to do this yet because I have not yet got the fastboot cable that I ordered from ebay yet.

I will attempt to do this this coming week. Your instructions are very concise and clear.

Which version of cynogenmod do you recommend? Could you post the link/instructions to get the cyanogenmod version that you have on your kindle?

Thanks again,

Couple more questions :(

Hi Enabran,

Thanks for the quick replies.

Yes, I had it working on the cynagenmod and noticed it to be faster than my iPad Air in loading webpages and such.

I am in this state because I installed a nightly that then caused issues with the google services; which then resulted in me not thinking through properly and doing a reset via settings and thus brought me to this state.

I got my cable yesterday and was wondering if you could help me with a couple of questions:

1) My tate was running 7.5 if I remember correctly, am I still okay to follow the steps you detailed above?

2) I am not a windows user, but have an old machine running Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit) - when I tried to follow the steps you mentioned, I am getting a message saying "fastboot is not a recognized internal or external command" - did you run into that problem?

Thanks again for your help - I sincerely appreciate it. :)

Cheers,

dyg
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enabran:
1) So, I think yes. The different stages are the sames.

2) Did you plug the cable before execute SR_Tool.bat or after ? Try before and after but in the 2 options, plug the factory cable in tablet before in PC. See too this topic :

For rebooting, should I use the non-factory cable? Because when I try to reboot with the factory cable, it shows the Kindle logo for a brief moment and shows the fastboot logo like before.

Please do reply when you have a few minutes - thanks again.

I had problems with the reboot and ended up resolving this by using option 4 & then 3. ps that this did not work initially and I downloaded 7.4.8 from the thread that [MENTION=7133310]Enabran[/MENTION] mentioned to get this to work.

Quick question .. not sure if anyone can help or not.

My Company uses Xchange email and was wondering if there was a way to get this email pushed on to the phone first. I guess the main problem is that I am not sure if the company has pop enabled. Not really even sure what the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server are or where to find this information. Asking them really isnt an option... any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ranova:
This is the first thing that i tested with my Dopod. When it asked for servers, i just put in the web address to our Outlook Web Access site.

Hard reset after about 30 mins because my server enforced a 30min lock policy and i wasnt sure if i was allowed to hook my dopod upto the exchange server (we have strict policies about attaching non approved hardware to servers and or network)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
Exchange servers don't use POP or SMTP, they use Exchange. So there are no 'incoming' or 'outgoing' mail server names.

Get your Exchange server address from your internal tech support group or your system administrator and go through the email account setup on your phone. You'll find one of the options early on is "Exchange Server".

You say that asking them for this info isn't an option, but it's the only way you're going to get this information. If you know where to look on your desktop, you can check your Outlook installation for the Exchange server name there. Otherwise, you're stuck having to ask someone.

If you just simply can't ask anyone, and can't find out on your own, it's a safe bet that your company doesn't want you to do this, and someone might get upset if you try.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pk2007:
i guess the real question here is. If I were to install the BBconnect 4.0 software on my phone; would this then allow me to access my company email on my Tytn?. The problem is that I am trying to get my company email on my Tytn without having to go to my corporate IT department and ask for official permission as they are idiots and say I do not have a need for this. Currently certain people have blackberry's in the company which they receive there email. From my point of view I could careless what they think I have a need for or dont. So in the end I am just trying to circumvent the IT department to achieve what I need. Any thoughts on how this could be done?

- Should also be noted that I have gone into my outlook settings on my Work PC; retrieved what is listed in there as the Microsoft Exchange server address and inputed this along with my netwrok id and password into my Tytn but when you do the Sync it does not work. I have also pinged the server address and inputed the IP# and tried that way unsucessfully as well ... any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] NRGZ28:
It's a pretty involved process. You will need to know the server addresss, user name and password and additionally an SSL certificate in order to get true push email. That's unless they use a big company like Verisign to provide SSL certificates. So you might have to talk to them...

First things first though.... Find out what the name of the exchange server is. You will also need a domain name. I'm sure you know what your username and password are.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pk2007:
I have retrieved the domain name from going into the control panel and system icon and checked under computer name. So I know what the domain name is; I have also retrieved what is listed in the Microsoft Exchange Server address. However for some reason it still does not work; I am wondering if what is listed in the MES address field is only accessible if you are on the company internet and not an outside connection? - Thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] NRGZ28:
If you retrieved that address from a computer on their internal network, than it's an "inside" address and it wont work on your phone. You need to figure out what the outside address is and it's pretty easy to do. It's usually "mail.blahblahcompanyname.com" or something like that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pk2007:
Any thoughts on when the usual mail.blahblahcompanyname.com doesn't work? Any thoughts where one might find this information?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
Yes. See above for my thoughts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] embeeowes:
As mentioned by one of the posters above, the Outlook Web Access address is the best one to use to ensure that it is a valid routable host. You also mention that some of the other network users have blackberry devices. If your corporate IT guys are using Blackberry Enterprise Server, it may mean that Exchange Activesync is not enabled at the server end (or indeed that they are not using a late enough version of Exchange server) in which case, you will not be able to use it no matter what settings you have.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pk2007:
By Outlook Web Address; do you mean the website that you can visit to get your company email when you are away from the office?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pkley:
Yes, try that address. Ours is https://blahblah.wahwah.com/exchange

If yours is also HTTPS you'll need the certificate. If it's a MAJOR provider like someone else posted, no worries, your device will handle it on its own. If it's a self-signed certificate, SOL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pk2007:
Yeah I tried the web address that I login into my web mail when I am not in the office. However that does not seem to work either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pk2007:
Thank you to all those who replied with useful information. Combined with the answers I received a little tinkering around; I was able to successfully accomplish what i was trying to do; which was receive company email without the involvement of the IT department.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Deleted member 318314:
computer misuse act

without sounding picky, you shouldnt be doing this unless you have explicit permission.

IT departments have specific policys in place to safeguard the data transmitted to mobile devices, and in this case, I doubt you know what these policies are and potentially opening up your corporate network for attack
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cliffgardner:
all you have to do is call your IT department. Tell them you want to enable Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) on the server.

Once this is done, ask them for the Outlook Web Access (OWA) URL. Also, check to see if your server requires SSL or a domain (if you are unsure).

Once you're off the phone with IT, launch activesync on your ppc. press menu and choose "add server source"

enter your OWA address (without http:// or https://) and be sure to include " /exchange " without quotations at the end. press next. enter your outlook username. this is usually the same as your email before the @ symbol, however it can be different.

enter your password and then domain. ensure 'save password' is check. choose next

choose what you want to sync wirelessly , such as contacts, calendar, and task.

note: whatever you sync wirelessly will be deleted if you ever decide to stop using exchange activesycn

choose finish. the initial sync will begin. also, your company's security or it policy may force you to have a password on your phone. if so, you will be prompted during the initial sync to set up a password.

if you need any more help, let me know..
