Thanks for the input so far guys, what about Dirty Unicorns,CM or Cloudy G2? These seem to be the most popular ones judging by the number of answers on their respective threads, Any experiences?

Hi all, I've received a really deal good for a Softbank X01HT. I was wondering if like the other Hermes, the only difference in this unit is the button layout and OS language. If I upgrade to any other Hermes ROM will it function like a regular Hermes? Thank you for replies.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Junner2003:
Yes, basically it will work as long as you have your device SIM / CID unlocked.

I say 'basically' because of I found some incompatibilities on my HERMES (a AT&T 8525). It does not accept the German T-Mobile ROM and also not the ORANGE CH. Other than that I did not get any problems.

You might wanna read the HERMES UPGRADE sections in the WIKI first? That should get you started!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Thanks for your quick reply Junner, I appreciate it :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Another question has arisen; the unit I'm getting is in english language, so presumably a different ROM has been flashed to it. Does this mean that the phone is now SIM unlocked? Or does Softbank have english versions of their phones as well? Mine will be a white one, not sure when it was manufactured.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] neshyd:
Hello,

If its already in English then chances are that it was flashed with a WM5 English ROM. If you're lucky, then the phone could be SIM unlocked, but ROMs can be flashed if the phone is Super CIDed... The white edition models were made after Softbank issued an update for all their phones..

My bet is that your phone is Super CIDed.. but heck, you'll never know these days, you could get lucky and have it SIM unlocked!

Softbank do have english versions of their phones, but the X01HT is just one of their exceptions...

I'm using the Black X01HT flashed with a WM6 Rom.. and its great! You won't be dissapointed!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Hey nesy, thanks for the heads up. I've got the phone in my hands, it works great. It's been flashed with some version of WM6, not sure which flavour. And it's goot IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.40.Olipro. My guess is that this was unlocked by imei-check, and it must be SuperCID too. Will be sure once I probe the internals with mtty. My only concern now is whether if I'm able to upgrade the radio, since I've read reports of some people being unable to flash over radio 1.14.something.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Is there really a downside to being stuck at radio 1.14 found in the Softbank phones? If so, what are they? Improved reception? stability?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] neshyd:
well my softbank phone was at radio 1.14, I was able to upgrade it without any problems to 1.50.... you dont really have to upgrade, but I found that any version above 1.2 had better battery life...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] courtlandre:
I have a X01 that I just bought with a Chinese ROM (I am currently in China) and it was already unlocked. I had no problems putting an English Rom on. Be sure to change the keyboard layout to Japanese, I had mine set to Chinese for a while and 2 buttons were different.

Question: What are the advantages to upgrading the radio? Can anyone provide a link that explains how to upgrade / advantages to upgrading?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
really? how were you able to upgrade? i thought it was impossible to upgrade the radio on a softbank :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] courtlandre:
I also just upgraded to 1.41... I use the method that temporarily Super-Cids it. But dont ask me how that works because I have no idea.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Could you link me or PM me with how you did that? All the wikis stated that I can't upgrade the radio to anything else because of the bootloader. And I tried it too, the radio ROM gets flashed, but upon reboot, the same old version number is shown. Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] neshyd:
Hey dude, there are many advantages to upgrading the radio.. especially if you're still at 1.14... For instance, in Japan and China, the networks are UMTS here... although radio 1.14 gives satisfactory reception, higher versions improve this as well as enabling HSDPA (higher 3G download speeds) . The battery management is improved, and currently I'm using radio version 1.48 (1.50 was a battery sucker when using WM6)

you should read this before upgrading the radio:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

and read under 'Upgrading and Cooking'

and to flash the radio you HAVE to install Hard SPL.. this is a modified bootloader for the hermes.. and also it prevents it from bricking when you upgrade the ROM or radio.

Get it and the guide here:

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27

Finally,

Go here:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms

and choose what Extracted Radio ROM that you want to install. Download it, run the EXE file and run through the program wizard.

After the radio has been uploaded to your device, it should reboot and you'll hopefully see some improvement!

Also another thing, be sure to search the forums, there are many great guides here, much better than my attempt ;)

Hopefully that answers your question Pasan, you could try to do the method mentioned above by courtlandre which is to temporarily SuperCID it, but I didn't use that, i ended up unlocking my phone and SuperCID'ed it... so that my upgrade process will always be stress-free :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] courtlandre:
I am using SPL 1.10 I think (wiki or a sticky will have instructions on how to install this).

Then I just downloaded the radio rom and installed it. Worked fine with no problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Thanks neshyd, I once tried upgrading to HardSPL 2.30 but it didn't work, upon reboot it was still on 1.40.olipro. This phone was unlocked by the imei-check people and they may have done something to prevent future SPL upgrades.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
is this SSPL?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
I guess you guys have older Softbanks, mine is a post April 07 model which does not allow the radio to be upgraded :(
[Samsung Gear S] georgnik:
Dear all,

I would like to share with you my experience with Samsung's Dual SIM phones (S5 duos and S7 edge with two sim-slots). Gear S is working quit smoothly however the automatic call divert no. Regardless if someone has both slots occupied or not, the automatic call devirt does not work. Actually, does not even appear on the menu. Neither on phone nor on the watch.
[Samsung Gear S] somanyofme:
Gear S and DUOS call forwarding

Yes, I can confirm the same „issue“ on Galaxy Note 5 DUOS, it probably has something to do with the fact that every time I put manual call forward request on it is asking for selection which SIM (1 or 2) I wish to forward to the Gear S. Other than that it works like a charm and I really like it.

Hi

My themes menu disappeared after the marshmallow update 6.0 last night.

I can't even go back to the original theme.

I've tried Launcher Pro(which does not open), TweakBox (requires root) and Nova.

I don't want to root my phone.

What can I do? How can I make the themes menu appear in my settings again?

Hi I've been searching for a while now but I can't find a topic on this yet.

Recently it rooted my phone but now when I try turning it on it gets stuck at the loading screen, ok. Now then I managed to get to the boot loader from here I go to the recovery option,now here is the problem when I select the recovery option the phone will either go back to the boot loader or will not turn back on. Also in this state my PC cannot see my phone as a device. PS I cant even get to the error screen most people seem to get when they go to the recovery option.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hey guys,

So I have a note 3 and I regularly make calls and text on whatsapp. My problem arises when I get a regular cell call while I'm on a whatsapp call; I can answer the regular call but my phone does not put my WhatsApp call on hold, causing both calls to be active and neither to hear me.

I have to manual hang up one or the other to fix the problem but it is quite frustrating to do this when the phone is basically struggling to cope with 2 active calls and is lagging.

Ant advice? Thanks.

When I go to setup my hotmail on my Tilt using the default messaging program, just as I had it on my 8525, it wont let me. Gives me a link to Windows Live's web site. WTF?!?

are you sure you are not using hotmail with pop/smtp ?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jallenclark:
when I installed Windows Live software and logged into the software it setup my hotmail account in outlook for me, I never had to go to the add account in outlook. You cannot manually add it because it is supported by windows live software. I would try reinstall windows live and then log in and check your mail once through it. After that you should be able to hit the mail icon on your phone and it take you to hotmail in outlook.

Hi

I have LG G3 D855 on android 4.4.2 and tried to update it to android 6 but I got a message saying "the device is not registered yet" so I tried to update manually by LGup but it always stuck on 6% and an error message appears I dont remember it but I think it was saying that there is a problem in the partition: cust

Then I tried with LG flash tool 2014 and it stuck on 2% and says "remove the battery and try again" but to no avail

Then tried to unbrick/unroot it by LG flash tool_v1.8 using tot firmware and it stuck on 6% again and shows an error message saying " partition change Fa..." (it's cut off, but I'm assuming that last word is 'fail')

I went to a service centre and they tried to fix it but in the next day they said that they couldn't flash it

So I tried again using LG flash tool and something weird happened the flash tool said that my model is d851 !

I don't know how but I flashed tot files for D851 and it worked again!

I don't know what they did and how they changed the model but it is working :)

So thank you so much guys for all your help

A little question : what's the difference between D855 and D851 ?

And I heard that there are locked and unlocked phones so how can I know if my mobile locked or not?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_twice:
855 : international version. 851: T-Mobile U.S.A version.

to know if your phone is unlocked insert different different sim cards. If they are accepted the phone is unlocked, otherwise it is locked to a specific carrier.

Sorry for jumping this old thread.

I have the exact issue. Tried to upgrade brand new D855 32GB from Kitkat to marshmallow using LGUP, device has been rebooted to download mode / firmware update. LGUP fails with an error that it cannot find partition : cust. Google was not very helpful about this error.

Tried multiple times without any help.

Also tried to flash TOT using LgFlashTool, and getting the same error about the cust partition. Note that in all retries, on the phone screen, while trying to flash, there progress never passed 0%

Tried hard reset but it doesn't help. Device is now always being booted into firmware update screen.

Appreciate your help, there is nothing more frustrating than getting a new device and brick it on the same day.

[Samsung Gear S2] Hend0:
I've put together a watch face that uses an animation control with 46 frames (each is 300x300 pixels in size), which I've then spreadout over the whole day (so each frame is displayed for 31 or 32 mins). I've then put on the usual watch hands and digital clock to complete it.

It looks fine when I preview in GWD and I can successfully build it and install it to my Gear S2. However, when I try and select the new face on my watch I see the preview picture followed by a black screen. After being unresponsive for a short period of time it switches to the preview picture of one of the built in faces and remains unresponsive. A quick reboot gets the watch running again, but it still doesn't let me use my new watch face. :(

Anyone seen this sort of problem before or got any suggestions on ways to get it running? After spending a reaosnable amount of time manually adjusting the timings for 46 frames of animation I'd really like to see this working.

Thanks,

its same screen but other factory /

this is my luck

[Android Head-Units] Core-Lokt:
Yeah, the launcher in the first picture looks bad. The launcher in the second picture is Joying. Even the Joying launcher doesn't look that good. I don't know enough about that head unit other than it says it uses a Rockchip processor. You'd have to research if you could re-flash with a custom ROM.

Something you might consider that looks better than those is Car Launcher Pro on Google Play. It's pretty cheap and looks much better and has a choice of three styles and a few colors.

You can't change widgets, though. You have speedometer and clock, but there is a trip meter. And there's a couple of other launchers on Google Play. Good luck.

I have tried before about car launcher, in fact, I don't like it because he didn't give me free control like change widget and style he doesn't have more

I don't have the idea where I can found skin compatible with my unit ?
