[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DarkMatter_74:
I went to a local 'store' and bought an 'unlocked' AT&T S6 for my wife to use on our T-Mobile account last year.

She wanted a new phone, so I got her one and went to sell this one, but found out that the IMEI in the OS doesn't match the one on the back of the phone. My first thought was that the mainboard was replaced...but here's the odd part:

1. The phone says it's an SM-G920A in the 'About' section of the settings.

2. The phone says it's an SM-G920A in the bootloader. Shows as 'official' and everything. Knox is NOT tripped.

3. The rom is AT&T branded.

4. The phone works with both AT&T and T-Mobile sims.

5. The IMEI shows that it is either an SM-G920F or SM-G920T (I get different reports, depending on which IMEI checker I use)

Is it even possible to put AT&T firmware on a T-Mobile mainboard, and still keep Knox official? Or was the IMEI of this model hacked?

How do I know for SURE (without opening the phone) what mainboard I have?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
I just received the expected warning from a moderator that accused me of behaving "overly agressive" and "very disrespectful" and advised me to "simply ignore" posts "I dont like" (the "dont speak up, if you dont have anything friendly to say" argument that some of us teach our children I suppose) - or report them if they are against the rules.

Now - members that have been in here for a certain amount of time will have noticed - that the Fire TV community is regularly frequented by users that dont even know the basics of Android computing or pro bono communities in general - (f.e. How to copy a file, how to browse a filesystem, how to install an app (sideloading), how to use the forum search ...) and try to to solicit "individual help" - just a few hours ago even in the form of "a video" being requested on how to use a simple app - sometimes inserting themself into ongoing conversations, feigning interest - just to get someone in here to respond to their issues.

The questions in most of these cases, I have responded to show no understanding about the economics on certain issues (who should I ask, what can I expect, why shouldnt I "demand" support, why showing your own initiative is far more important than saying thank you, ...).

Neither does the comment to "just ignore them".

I understand that XDA would rather see every person being helped, personally attended to and being addressed in the most polite manner possible, because it increases the chances of repeat visits - but we also have to face, that whats on demand here is not helping others to "learn" or to understand broader subjects, but exclusively "problem solving".

And I am quite openly and obviously tired of providing such a service. To each and everyone that feels the need to ask for it. At the same time though - I am already triggered by seeing topics with the same intentions popping up every day and "trying to ignore them".

In all my community life the phrases "use the freaking search function" and "try to answer a question you have yourself first, before trying to solicit someone on XDA to do it for you" were the very basics of community culture.

Here on XDA, and especially in this subforum (Fire TVs in the recent past mostly were purchased by people accustom to watching 5 minute Youtubeclips to "understand technology" and "willing to pay others to do the setup work for them" - because of their current popularity and low price point) those two principals don't seem to get uttered, much less enforced anymore.

So I ask the community - is it in your interest to make me "simply ignore those questions being asked"? Am I correct in outlining what I see happening here repeatedly. And have I indeed crossed a line in being too disrespectful to people mostly not even caring to read before they post.

Also - please understand that I had the best intentions, and of course am an easy target for "revenge flagging" if "the support experience wasnt as expected".

sincerely

As a recipient of a couple of your replies, I did at first take it the wrong way. I fully retracted my initial response after thinking about what you said. In all honesty, it must be very frustrating to be bombarded with demands for 'how to' instructions all the time. I am guilty, on occasion for wanting an easy ride. As we all are. But, I think a warning for honest response is a little harsh. Don't take it to heart, you have helped alot of us out here my friend!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk1keith:
As a brief target of your sarcasm I chose to ignore your post. In my humble opinion it isn't up to you or me to decide what questions are too basic or which ones warrant an answer. The forum should be for everyone who abides by forum rules regardless of their knowledge or lack there of. I do believe the moderators have a responsibility to control the "tone" of the forums so people aren't reluctant to post their question for fear of being ridiculed.

Just my humble 2 cents.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highspeedfelon:
I agree with the mods, insulting someone for a request is uncalled for. Even now you start a thread to try and get people to rally in your favor when this should have been handled between you and either the moderator that warned you or an admin.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
I understand what you're saying, when it comes to root there have been a few methods & some are for the more experienced xda user & some are for the not so experienced, my self needed the video tutorial when I rooted because I didn't understand or not used a terminal enough in the past & also not used Linux before. But when it's rooting/adding recovery/su/or modifying parts of the device system people like to make sure "everything" is correct before doing the process. We will always get the how do you install this app? or how do I sideload questions.... We all know the first thing they should do is go to the search engine on XDA first but that always doesn't find the solution, next would be Google search (or other preferred search method) instead of creating yet another post which will ether be ignored or the same forum members will yet again answer it for the 20th time (probably via a copy & paste from the last post), but hey if you don't wanna answer there posts just leave them to it & I'm sure if they violated xda rules someone will kindly tell them or let the Mods know. Just do what I do ether help them or don't, I'm not getting in any arguments with anyone on here I like the xda forum community & want to stay here for some time & would rather not have my account banned when just a little comment just saying you may wanna look here this has already been answered or check the search first please is just enough. Sometimes if you like it or you don't you sometimes have to take a step back when talking in the forums Just as you need to do in the real world too.

Take care mate

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Always post respectfully, or don't post. It's a simple concept. Respecting other members is actually in the site rules. And it's one that should go without saying.

So yes, if you don't like another members post, report it if it breaks any rules, or ignore it. Period.

This is a private membership required site. XDA owners create the rules, and all of us must respect them. Everyone. And if you feel the rules don't agree with you, you can always log off. Problem solved.

And this off topic subject is now closed.

Thanks to Ali_Alex for the link!

The Update https://android.googleapis.com/pack...866b47.signed-sturgeon-MEC23L-from-LCB43B.zip

I used the latest minimal ADB and Fastboot here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Make sure you are connected to your charging dock.

Make sure you are running the latest update LCB43B.

I did all this on Win 10.

1. Just be fully stock including recovery. Refer to Skin1980's guide here to return to stock if you used his previous kernel or did any other mods like TWRP or root. (http://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/general/guide-return-to-stock-huawei-watch-t3219596)

2. Make sure you have debugging turned on inside developer settings. (If the menu is not there tap your build number in about menu 7 or 8 times and it will appear)

3. Run command "adb devices" and make sure your device appears. (If it says unauthorized check watch screen and accept you pc as trusted) (If nothing appears make sure you have the correct drivers installed I use the universal naked driver here http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339) (People have reported PDANET drivers are working if the naked drivers do not work for them and are somewhat easier to install.)

4. Run adb command "adb reboot bootloader"

5. Reboot recovery from inside bootloader using the button's short and long taps to change selection and select reboot recovery.

6. Scroll down and select apply update from adb.

7. Rename zip to update.zip and make sure its located inside the root directory of your adb installation.

8. Run command "adb sideload update.zip"

Wait

Enjoy! :highfive:

Don't forget to hit the thanks button! I appreciate it!
[Huawei Watch] skygunner27:
Thank you. Can you please create a step by step guide for idiots like me, who have never used adb etc..?
[Huawei Watch] chachin:
hey when i try to go to recovery and do the "adb devices within stock recovery.. i see this

c:\android\hwatch> adb reboot bootloader

c:\android\hwatch>adb devices

list of devices attached

c:\android\hwatch>

even though when i was on the main menu of the watch before rebooting to recovery and all that

list of devices attached

FFS7N15B06003222 device

i go to bootloder reboot recovery adb devices... get nothing in there
[Huawei Watch] RngrYogi:
I updated OP check the steps again. adb commands won't work in bootloader. Once in recovery swipe down and select apply update from adb then issue the "adb sideload update.zip" command.
[Huawei Watch] chachin:
so i cant be in the recovery mode to apply update you mean i can do it while the watch is on? cause when i try going to recovery it does this

c:\android\hwatch>adb sideload update-601.zip

loading: 'update-601.zip'

error: device not found

c:\android\hwatch>

and yes im in the recovery with the android with open chest and its got yellow letters telling me to do the adb sideload<filenam>
[Huawei Watch] RngrYogi:
Make sure the update file is inside your root adb directory on your hard drive.
[Huawei Watch] RngrYogi:
It looks like your device is still not visible to adb. Make sure you don't have any other devices connected like a phone with debugging turned on also. And you do need to be in recovery with it awaiting the sideload update.zip command. You seemed to be in the correct place.
[Huawei Watch] xceebeex:
Mine got pushed to me, I just have to charge it
[Huawei Watch] RngrYogi:
YAY! Always the best way to go. Where are u located?
[Huawei Watch] LPirro:
But... the phone must be connected on the pc? I can't detect the watch with adb devices..
[Huawei Watch] Goolum:
I was wondering why I couldn't boot to the recovery directly so thanks a ton for the help! Also dayum, the speaker sure is quite loud for a smartwatch!

To the person above no, you do not need to have the phone to your pc connected for it to work.

got it installed like it so far, to me the speaker sounds alot better then the one in the gear s

ffs i still dont get it why cant my watch be recognized when its inside the damn recovery with android open chest where you say "adb sideload.zip" i do adb devices when it's on that option and on cmd it doesnt show up at all.. but if the watch is normally running and i do adb devices it shows up there.. i go to fastboot and then fastboot devices. shows there too exept when i click to reboot into recovery is when it gets lost
[Huawei Watch] RngrYogi:
Let me test mine and see if it is visible while waiting on the adb sideload update.zip command

Good afternoon would help me with my xperia z1 c6902, the problem is as follows:

Try to flash the rom liquidsmooth 5.1.1 but when he had, enough flaws decided to return to the original rom, but flash the ftf file on my cellular system, lost the signal and no longer leaves me no flash AOSP based rom.

And I tried to flash the modem c6902 and as usual when trying to flash a rom I get error and is not installed if someone could help him greatly appreciate it thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ploopower79:
Looks like a bad situation...you might as well use flashtool to return to full complete stock Sony ROM. Find one of the .ftf here in the general section. I had the same problem before as well and in the end that's what I had to do to get my signal back.

Good luck!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
You sent me a couple of pm and I can't make sense out of what you are saying. Did you have signal after flashing my LiquidSmooth or you lost signal after returning to a previous rom? What is your original rom? Also, it looks like you can't flash anything now, which tells me that you messed up your recovery or pc drivers.

And by the way, what flaws are you talking about? Liquidsmooth doesn't have any. There is one major requirement for running custom roms: you have to know what you are doing and that includes reading instructions and searching for related issues on XDA.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soujirock:
Good morning, if it makes sense because the rom work but the wifi signal not then, I did the terminal emulator and seeing that did not work I decided to return to the stock rom my phone, that is the original 5.1.1 which you flash by flashtool and I lost my phone signal and does not return, the truth I followed all the steps that you gave me, but now is not important what the rom.

What I want is help, because my phone even with the original rom has no signal and I can not fix it thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
First, regarding liquidsmooth: if you did terminal, then you didn't do afwall right: you need to enable it and specifically grant internet access to apps, otherwise, no internet.

Regarding no signal: you have lost it, because you flashed a C6903 rom. To restore signal,you need to flash ftf C6902 stock rom or at least baseband only from that rom. And once you have your signal back, in the future, when you flash non C6902 stock rom, you need to exclude baseband, otherwise, you will always be losing signal.

And remember: stock requires ftf baseband; custom rom - zip modem.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soujirock:
thank you thank you very much but if you do not mind me could you provide a link that the FTF I do not work I've fallen down but nothing Indian.

The baseband if not too much trouble thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
I have C6903...

You don't need Indian, you need any C6902 stock including American. You probably don't even need to flash the entire rom, just get any C6902 ftf file, put it in flashtool, and flash baseband only (don't wipe anything and exclude everything, but baseband). And keep that ftf file handy in case you lose signal again. Also, keep C6902 zip modem in case you go with a custom rom...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soujirock:
excuse my ignorance, but in the flashtool not find the option of the baseband, or have to download it from somewhere to add to flashtool I in this cell'm practically a novice because recently I acquired much is not part of unlocking bootlader, to root and install recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
You need Flashtool by Androxide (he has a version for Windows and Linux). Just read a sticky "everything you need to know" in Development thread, it has all the guides and links. Also, there is an Indian c6902 rom in general section: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/general/ftf-xperia-z1-customized-india-14-6-1-t3242043

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soujirock:
can you help me?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Look. No one would be able to help you if you don't help yourself. You just can't say don't work and expect help. What doesn't work. Did you get flashtool. Did you install it on Linux or Windows. If Windows, did you install all the drivers? Did flashtool recognize you phone when you connected it? Did you load C6902 ftf? Did it show up in flashtool screen? Did you choose the entire ftf or baseband only? When you press flash did you have the pop screen to connect the phone? Did you turn off the phone and then connected it while pressing volume down? Did the flashtool start flashing? Did flashing completed. Did you reboot the phone? Did it boot with signal or no signal? See, every step above could or could not work. That's the information you must provide if you want others to help you...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soujirock:
Good afternoon, to clear doubts if I work the flashtool of androxyde version is 0.9.19.10 have windows 7 64-bit, if I recognize the pc drivers you download the ftf me the link step off the phone, and I came out that connect the cell by pressing the volume key down.

I flashed all the rom and I have only marked the apps_log boxes and userdata the kernel still do not understand I wanted a tutorial on the internet but I could not find the tab that says kernel out flashing a message if I want to use an fs script I put if it ends flashing but still have no signal, I tried to find the kernel of my phone on the internet but have not found it to try to flash it from recovery to see if you get my signal but as not meeting not I could solve hope it's a good process information, which I have followed if at some point I was wrong I ask you guide me please and thank you for your help.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Flash again, but baseband only: untick everything and exclude everything but baseband. If this does not work, get official American C6902 ftf rom and flash baseband only. And read the guides again...

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
Clean the kernel how? Usually people just dirty flash the ROM they're using (which replaces the previously installed kernel anyway) and then flash the new kernel they want to use.

Do not use any of those. There is no need to use a kernel cleaner.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
Those scripts are basically for lazy people that don't want to format cache and wipe dalvik themselves. Just flash the ROM you're currently running and then flash the new kernel over it and reboot.

Are you sure that those scripts formats only Cache and Dalvik? They don't do anything else?

Yeah. It does both of those operations twice and then claims to clean "modules" and "old files" when they just get overwritten when you flash the ROM or new kernel anyway. They're useless.
