[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
A year ago, these "locked tighter" bootloader firmwares were also unrootable, and root is needed to downgrade only system and boot to KK. Now that PB1 and earlier all have root, and MM did not trip a qfuse like 5.0, it is no longer a concern.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aholeinthewor1d:
Not exactly sure what you mean? We had root on OE5. I'm wondering what the difference is between downgrading just the firmware and kernel to KK and downgrading the firmware, kernel, and bootloader. Because in a lot of threads people still ask about going back to KK from MM and everyone still says you can't. Idk. Must be missing something..

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

When OE5 came out and we had root on it.. why didn't people just flash the kit Kat firmware and kernel to go back then?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
People flashed the full stock tar. Back then the only way to root oe5 was to go back to kk and flash a rooted firmware. The oe5 ROM combined with the bootloader (well, technically, its before the bootloader starts, in the ROM embedded in the CPU, but we'll keep it simple), did not allow downgrading to KK to allow root.

[HTC Desire 510] Luvan117:
Greetings all, I have a htc desire 510 OPCV220, it is a Latin American version and have a problem with the screen. When the phone is put on standby the screen goes black, that's normal, but when I want to use the phone screen is not working again. I try to unlock the screen by pressing the up button and the screen does not turn on.

The phone seems to be working, I receive calls but can not answer, the alarm works, and to use the phone again i have to remove the battery and turn on the phone.

Not sure if is hardware or software problem, looking for solutions i decided to flash some roms, and the problem persists in different frecuency (all based on stock roms)

Then I wondered if by chance someone has a backup of this particular model to flash it by TWRP or advise me what can i do.
[Android Apps and Games] Aksh25:
Hi,

I made a notification LED color testing app that as the name suggests, let's you test which colors are supported by your device's notification led.

I have tested it on my xiaomi Mi4i (android 5.0.2) and it works perfectly on it, but i see a lot of negative feedback on the reviews section of the app and its hard to fix the shortcomings in the app with little/unhelpful feedback.

If anyone is willing to help me make this app better by testing it on their devices, that would be really helpful, as i am working on another app that lets you use the led as a music visualizer without root.

All you have to do is clear all your notifications, make sure your phone isn't on charging, and run the app. Let me know if the app works or not on your device.

(camera permission is required to access the flashlight)

Possible bugs:

app may crash on samsung devices running android 6.0 *fixed :highfive:

you tell me.

All suggestions and comments are welcome.

Best,

[Verizon LG V10] veronawildcat13:
Hi everyone, I know that there hasn't really been much development for this phone, it really sucks, we've tried a few different things like adding a bounty or signing a petition... I think we need to take a new approach at getting this root method... The last developer who had our first root was great but if he isn't going to do it maybe we could convince and ask somebody else and tell them about our bounty? In this thread lets throw out ideas that we could do to get the root and twrp! So does anybody have any good ideas? :D

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cdkg:
The OP3 does work on Verizon, however there are some "issues" that can probably be easily fixed by someone who knows what they're doing (aka not me).

So far I can confirm 1X/3G (eHRPD) works. I have to enable data roaming for data to work, but I can make/receive calls, sms, mms, and cellular data.

I've also been able to force a connection to LTE by placing the phone into "LTE Only mode". However, when I do this sms, mms and calls don't work (only data works).

For some reason the phone defaults to 3G rather than 4G even though it can use both.

3G/4G data, sms, mms and calling are working, they just aren't working together.

I have done a lot of testing on ,apns and build.prop edits but I have not made any progress.

My personal theory is that the phone is defaulting to a US Cellular APN which then attaches to Verizon's network as a roaming partner.

I really need some help from the community to get this thing working right. Any help would be much appreciated.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] notjaykay:
I just wanted chime in and say I'm also on VZW and considering picking up an OP3. From reading your other thread, as long as I have XLTE/Band 4, I should be able to at least get some use out of the phone, correct?

The idea of unlocking Band 13 sounds like a fun challenge I'm willing to try!

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dcdruck1117:
I haven't tried to get LTE working, but I've been using Verizon on my OP3 for a week now. Most of the time I use Verizon only for SMS, MMS, and calling, but on several occasions when I don't have T-Mobile LTE signal, I switch to Verizon SIM for data, too. I only get 3G in this case, but it does work pretty well (albeit slow, at 3G speeds). I'm also interested in somehow getting the phone to play nicely with Verizon's LTE.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] george241312:
What about "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1"

In build. Prop
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dcdruck1117:
I just made this change but I don't get Verizon LTE signal at my house, so I'll have to wait until I'm at work tomorrow to actually test it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cdkg:
That build.prop edit will not get you LTE. I suggest using this app https://goo.gl/620Kc7 and setting it to "LTE Only". You may have to toggle the "turn radio off" option. Be patient and it will work. What you will find is that when in LTE only mode you will only get LTE data. I do all my calls and SMS/MMS using my Google voice number so I don't need traditional voice/sms services. However this is the point of this thread. For some reason the op3 defaults to ehrpd (3G) rather than LTE. Until volte gets working (doubt that will be anytime soon) we will reply on CSFB (circuit switch fallback) for voice and text. Not ideal but a lot better than what we have now.

I did find this folder with a .mbn file in the OSS firmware folder which shows volte config specifically for Verizon (check the attached screenshot)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dcdruck1117:
Thanks for the info, [MENTION=341845]cdkg[/MENTION]. I wasn't optimistic about the build.prop change having an effect, but it was an easy enough thing to try just in case. Unfortunately, in my case, LTE-only is out of the question, at least for now. I'm leaning toward porting my number to T-Mobile to give them a real try for a couple months anyway. However, if this whole compatibility with Verizon <=> OP3 thing ever gets totally worked out, I'd probably come back to Verizon.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Luca09484:
Hello everyone.

Currently I'm using a Huawei Y300, which, as you may know, is too outdated to keep using these days due to having only 512mb of ram, Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and a measly dual core S4 Play. Some months ago, I had an Xperia Z1 that I bought used from a friend at a fairly low price, and I just had to repair it because the screen was broken. So I did, and I used it for some months before it broke down. Now, I have to replace the screen, the camera (It has become awful, I've cleaned it and the Huawei has better results), the back cover (it's cracked too) and the frame, which is slightly bended. Buying all of those parts is almost as much as buying a new phone.

So that brings me to my question. I plan on buying a Mi4c from Aliexpress, and the seller has them (including one pu case) at 125 dollars. The seller is called Hong Kong Goldway. Many people post five or four star reviews for it, and they feel satisfied. Is there any risk in buying it? Are there better phones for the price?

Many thanks for your help.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] bankov:
Mine Mi4c is from aliexpress but from seller Top One,and i am really happy with my phone. Got 2 screen protectors, 1 case and adpater.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] AlexX333BY:
I think that you will get refubrished Mi4C, because it was $250 in january. But if refubrished is OK, than Goldway is good - I ordered MiPad with no problems
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Karly Johnston:
Aliexpress is the eBay of China, it depends on the seller. I stay away as they will not back you up if you have a problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] jonasb_dk:
If you get any electronics from Aliexpress or any Chinese stores you won't get much support. I've bought tons of stuff from Aliexpress and haven't had any real issues.

Be aware that your phone might be infected with some spyware, which mine was - but it's alright as I rooted and flashed the phone almost immediately.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] landwomble:
Hi All,

gearing up to get an Artemis 2nd hand from eBay to replace my wizard, and I'm confused. I'm going to use it with Outlook 2000 (no choice here: work machine and can't upgrade) and I was *sure* that this meant I couldn't use a WM6 device, as it needs ActiveSync 4.5, which doesn't work with Outlook 2000.

However, a mate has an O2 Orbit that in the system info screen definitely says WM6 - can anyone with one confirm that these definitely ship with Wm6 and it's not just a splash screen that's wrong? Any other ways of telling for sure which version of WM it's running?

Cheers

Ric
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Wooley:
You could try looking in Start > Settings > Systems Tab > and tap About this will tell you if its WM5 or WM6

They dont always come shipped with WM6

Wooley
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] landwomble:
that's where i checked

might be a daft question, but is that a definite way of checking (i.e. no chance of a mistake in the rom build)? i was so convinced that it wasn't going to work on O2K, but it seems it does...

cheers

ric

p.s. can these be unlocked for nowt?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Wooley:
Thats the way i check :)

Whats O2K?

Unlocked, do you mean CID or SIM unlocked? they are both possible but there is a big difference
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Gajet:
Just to add, that my Artemis runs Mechle's Vanilla 2.0 WM6 ROM and syncs with both my work PC which runs Windows 2000, Outlook 2000, AS 4.5 and my home PC running Vista, Outlook 2007, WMDC.

I have no difficulties at all with this.

If your phone is not officially supported by Windows 10 (Lumia 520, 525, 620, 630, 635 (512 MB), 720, 820, 920, 925, 1020, 1320, ...) and you do have Windows 10 installed, do NOT use the WDRT (Windows Device Recovery Tool) which will install Windows 8.x on your device. Since Microsoft no longer offers Windows 10 Threshold releases for unsupported devices in the Release Preview Ring chances are that you'll be unable to update to Windows 10 again.

seems to be a fact since ms introduced the release-preview-ring for redstone. we will see if they offer something like a legacy ring soon

otherwise: still no problem, or lets say still no problem to spoof the devices to get either th2 or redstone
[Windows 10 Mobile] Swordfishx86:
Changing the registry might be beyond users that were only accustomed to joining the Release Preview Ring with the Windows Insider app till now. Some also might not even try out of fear. Thus this warning.

[Windows 10 Mobile] tofuschnitte:
thats one of the downsides of the insider-programm. ms let anyone in, thus many many many many people doing stuff they dont know jack**** about. they should have done a simple tech-survey before they let some into the insiderprogramm :P
[Windows 10 Mobile] Swordfishx86:
Lets go an other route. Instead of keeping people out we should do our best to educate those, that aren't aware of possible side effects and pitfalls. In this sentiment, a call for help: Gather information!

- which devices is WPinternals able to handle?

- what SLB3s are available? Download links?

- Write up a tutorial on how to edit the phones registry using mass storage mode and regedit!

- Gather confirmed info on what unlock methods are available for what RMs!

- Anything to add to the first post? Something to clarify to make it better understandable?

- ...

- ... Profit! ;)

Don't be worry guys, Custom ROMs coming ....
[Windows 10 Mobile] GeoffreyK:
Cool if custom ROMs can be released, but it may be too late for some phones stuck on WP8.1 if they are not hackable. Obviously old Lumias are hackable, but what about 630 for example? Also, some way to install custom ROMs without going back to WP8.1 is sorely needed now.
[Windows 10 Mobile] tofuschnitte:
the 630 for example is no problem either, we dont have any engineering bootloader for it yes. but it has a sd-slot, so no problems to fool around with registry tools to spoof the device id. since its 512mb redstone shouldnt work, but there should be a few devices out which are getting 10 but not redstone as well. so simple spoof it as one of them and get th2 (speaking of the situation next week, right now you could use any "modern" lumia settings to get th2 via upgrade advisor). but no way to build custom roms, thats only supported on 520, 521, 525, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 928, 1020 and 1320

Hmmm I used WDRT couple of days back. And now I am stuck with Windows Mobile 8.1. Any chance of getting Windows 10 Mobile back on my L720?

Yes, you can use wpinternals to unlock the bootloader, gain full filesystem access, and spoof the registry with a phone model supported for W10M. See http://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-8/development/windows-phone-internals-unlock-t3257483

They will replace th2 with rs1. We wont be able to upgrade to W10 using insider or upgrade advisor. We're gonna stuck in WP 8.1 forever.
[Windows 10 Mobile] tofuschnitte:
would you please read my post completely? atm its still possible and in the future it will be still possible to get th2 cause not every device will get the anniversary update (looking at some chinese oem devices). and rs1 runs way better even on ancient devices like the 920 than th2. and right now you still are able to get th2 and back it up with wpinternals if you want to reflash it in the future
[Windows 10 Mobile] BlueTR:
Sorry, I didnt mention that I'm talking about 630. I don't think ms will add a new ring like "TH2 for legacy devices" because they really wanna get rid of Nokia devices.
[Windows 10 Mobile] tofuschnitte:
we dont know that, but as i said: there will be still devices which got th2 officially but will not get rs1. u simply need to spoof your device to that. and th2 might be even a needed hop to go from 8.1 to 10 rs1. so dont panic

[Windows 10 Mobile] boe323:
Microsoft don't expect divvys to tamper with tools they don't understand , a simple insider upgrade is divvy safe, theres no need for any tech surveys or whatever, theres nothing in the OS that can break the phone, only ppl who decide to play the tools to crack and edit the registry are at risk. You don't need to be an insider to play with those tools either. Think about it. The wdrt is very powerful, you can spoof your phone and model ID if you wish, (NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DIVVYS) downside of that is ...loading an OS that could be slightly modified and potentially brick your device
