I ended up going to this guy.

https://www.facebook.com/gsmserviceremote/ :)

He's no-nonsense, he's fast, we talked while he remoted in, on my PC, and got it done in 25-35 mins. This guy has the BEST price i've ever seen for an unlock too.....wow. Where "most" (and i went through all the legit places i had been using for YEARS) places charge $40-120, this guy only asked $15....i mean that's a GIVEAWAY price compared to a lot of services online.

There are a few prerequisite files you need to install to get started but that's about 2-5 mins worth of setup stuff.

Don't mess with that other guy, who did the post about unlocking "Domestic and International", that dude's a real whiner and has TOO many anal rules about dealing with him. :crying:

The guy i listed below, has a much more flexible schedule, doesn't mind working straight off something like Facebook chat, and he gets it DONE. :victory:

The guy i listed below.....there's NO jumping through idiotic hoops and special conditions to get to him. :good:

Hi, is there any way, how to do it for free? My Friend wants this phone as a backup phone, but it is locked to a network he is not using anymore. I have tried a few sim unlock programes, but nothing worked. The phone is not worth much, so unlock for free or a bin. Pls help.

I'm back to complete stock MM 6.0.1 and can't get to nougat. Tried multiple RUY's but everyone fails weathers it's through the the stock recovery update zip or using the exe files.

Can anyone help. I've attached some phone info.

CheersView attachment 4116012View attachment 4116013
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Which ruu are you using? It has to match your software version. What error are you getting?

Also what do you mean by "stock recovery update zip"? Sounds like it's not an ruu zip or you're trying to flash one through recovery instead of download mode.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Roshi69:
Sorry i mean i have everything back to stock, stock MM firmware, stock recovery and relocked bootloader.

I've tried so many different RUU OTA's but i cant even get mine to upgrade from 1.80.... To 1.9.. as i believe I've to do that before going for a Nougat OTA?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
OK so a few things:

- I think I remember reading that if you're trying to flash an ruu zip file in download mode with your bootloader locked, it has to be a signed (official) ruu from HTC. Many of the ruu posted here are not signed I believe. Someone else can confirm this.

-You said you've tried an RUU exe, are you sure it's even the right one for your phone? Do you have a link?

-You haven't posted the errors you're seeing.

If you're fully back to stock including your ROM (you mentioned only fw and recovery), you should be able to take ota without doing any of the above. Does the OTA show up as available on your phone at least? If yes, what error do you get when trying to apply it? Something about your phone being corrupted?

The more info you give on your phone version, the steps you took, which file you tried to use, what error you're getting...the better.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Roshi69:
If you have a look at my post #9 in this thread it should help a bit: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3585075

Though I've literally tried every RUU i have found in every format.

As far as i am aware i am back on a stock ROM and everything as if I'd just bought the phone but no OTA is available. I'm from the UK and use the phone on EE (think it can take any sim if that helps).

Thanks for the help!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Capt'n Mal:
Okay still don't know what error you're getting. However the following link will take you to the correct download from HTC for and unlocked 10.

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/news/

Once you download the EXE, boot your phone into the bootloader prior to connecting the USB-C cable to the phone, then run the EXE file. I wiped my M8 and had an issue where the phone was not recognized by the computer, until it was in the bootloader, which sounds like it might be the error you're getting.

THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE!!! Make sure you back everything on the phone up, including the external Micro SD card if you're using it as emulated internal storage.

That should solve most problems, if not, please post the error you get (in detail) here so we can better assist you.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Roshi69:
Thanks for the reply. I will try install that link soon and post back the exact errors. Thanks

Download this file,

it's Nougat RUU https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzJZhsfT65ZLQ2I5YVYwaGtteTQ/view?usp=sharing

Move it to SD card, rename it to 2PS6IMG, go to download mode and flash it.

HTC US site supports only US unlocked devices, you have WWE device.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Roshi69:
Somehow that worked a treat.

I could have sworn I tried all possible WWE RUU zips available using that method too!

Thanks a lot guys [emoji18]

Is that me on the latest version then?

I'm on Nougat 2.41.401.4 [emoji18]
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] adriano25028:
I'm glad it works ?

Yes, it's the latest version.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Roshi69:
In the future will I have to manually update using RUU OTA files from my current version to the next?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] adriano25028:
You don't have to use anymore RUU, sometimes you can check settings>informations>Updates, download OTA Update and click install, nothing else :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] floho:
dude, looks sweet. What are you doing this coming weekend? Can you work on my car?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] omaralt:
this is really awesome! the only thing is that i hope ur left handed :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Left handedness

I don't think left or right-handedness is a factor - when driving on the highway you cannot really touch any of the tiny software buttons on the screen to use the thing anyway - too dangerous. However, the external hardware buttons - I don't think most people have to use their predominant hand to press a hardware button... If that was the case then most drivers in europe (with the right side steering wheel) wouldn't be able to use the radio unless they were left handed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Mike Philippens:
Don't you find it very difficult to put the Tytn2 into the Brodit holder? I have one too, but I find it very cumbersome. I have to fiddle with it a couple of times before I get it in properly (onto the USB connector). Previously I had the Brodit holder for my MDA Vario and that went in with my eyes closed.

My guess is that the bad fit is caused by the big empty space between the back of the device and the holder (for big batteries?). If Brodit was to make something to fit in there so that you have some kind of reference when you insert the device, it would be better. The way it is now, it is only irritating me in the morning... ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Sliding it in

I find I do have to adjust it ever so slightly to get it seated correctly. However, I believe it is better to have the space so that:

1. The unit will fit with any size battery

2. The GPS signal is not weakened
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Mike Philippens:
I doubt the GPS signal is weakened less by the plastic being an inch further away. And I don't know where the actual antenna is. If it's there where the connector is, it's no problem. That one is clear from the holder.

Also, it's a contradiction to have both the holder and a fat battery. I'm in my car for an hour or two every day (sometimes longer). Long enough to keep the battery loaded. The engineers of Brodit could have thought of an insert so that the space is filled. If you have a fat battery, remove the insert.

I'm not a clumsey person. My previous device slipped in the Brodit holder like it came of the same mould. This one is next to impossible to do without looking very careful, which is not easy in the dark. It's also part fault of the device manufacterers. My old Nokia phone had special idents at the bottom which gripped into the carkit. They don't do that anymore. They seem to think that because of BT you keep the device in your pocket. Such a shame...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Reception

There is one thing I do have to say about your last response - the reception woulod be affected if there were no space there. The GPS antenna is in the back and that part of the holder is completely metal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Mike Philippens:
Yeah, but the antenna is on the top part of the device (where the external GPS antenna plug is). And that is the part that is nog covered by the holder. ie: it sticks out. So I doubt if the reception would be hampered by the holder if there wasn't a space.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Looks nice...

Looks very nice, thanks for the post... but - how come you use a cigarette lighter plug instead of the kit with the wires you can hide? You may want to consider that...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
Because I want to buy a second device clip for my car, and be able to switch between the two. I don't want to have to buy two $69 cradles, especially to buy a second cradle for a car that I only drive about 2,500 miles a year.

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] joshuah82:
Not to mention the hard wire kit is another $30 more than the cig lighter one.

I recently took the plunge and bought the active kit and a clip for my Impala. I'm planning on doing the same thing and getting a clip for the Tahoe eventually. Still not looking forward to another $30 for just the clip. I'm hoping the build quality and stability is worth the small fortune you have to pay. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
$30 more? I didn't notice that. For that price I'd cut the lighter plug off and hard wire it if I really wanted a hard wired solution.

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 40-Dan:
Don't do it that way. Many/all "car chargers" have circuitry inside the plug that protects your phone. A better solution is to buy a $5 cigarette lighter "socket" from radio shack, wire that in somewhere behind your dash, then plug your kit into that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 40-Dan:

Does the kit allow you to plug a hard wired cable in for sound?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] trimark:
Heres what I did. I bought the pro-clip holder for my HTC Touch Pro, the one with the built-in USB Charger and headphone adapter.

I then measured and cut a small block of wood that fitted into the tray where you currently have what looks like your wallet and phone. The block of wood is only just over 1-inch wide. I plan to paint it matt black but have not yet. I put a small piece of black rubber on the bottom and top of the block to stop it moving(actually I used an old bike inner tube.

No scratching or holes in the dash for mounting. I route the cable for the USB adapter(get the long one 40cm) down the side, connect up the cable that feeds into the cassette tape adapter and another into the power supply and thats it. Sounds scrappy, but actually pretty good.

It sits high enough in my 2004 c230 Merc that it picks up a satellite feed for Tom Tom, the voices get played over the car stereo if I'm listening to the BBC Radio streamed over the net from London, or using the HTC as an MP3 player. I have one of those Visor mounted bluetooth spear/mic set-ups that lets me make calls, all in all pretty good. I can take some pictures if that would help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] freekquency:
lol wow, looks like a lotta work, i took some industrial strength velcro, put two thin pieces between my heater vents (center console above stereo) and it works like a charm with one big piece of soft velcro on the back of my phone. It worked so well i put one in the two vehicles i ride in at work too. Cost around 3.99 time around 2 mins.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Christian87n:
I have a question. I noticed that there's an option to have the 3 in 1 adapter. If i wanted that, so that I could use the tilt as an mp3 player, or so that i can hear the gps instruction over the speakers, how can i charge the unit at the same time? Where would I connect the usb cable? Any ideas?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] DADER:
Hi.

Could someone tell me about the root consequences for the mate 9 ? ie; will it still receive updates with root?

Is it possible to roll back to stock?

Is there any need to relock the bootloader in case it is needed to get the updates?

I know they are noob questions but I don't know anything about the mate 9 after root.

Help is appreciated.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] jr313:
You may get notifications for updates but they will fail in TWRP just like any other phone. You would need to flash stock recovery in order to update and the update will more than likely lock your bootloader as it installs. You can unroot and go back to stock, but you will want to read thru all the threads pertaining to root and getting back to stock that way you get a feel and a heads up on everything you're wanting to know. Make sure to read CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY and when and if you feel comfortable enough to root jump on in. This community is good at answering questions and helping out.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
I switched from Cyanogenmod 13.0 to LineageOS 14.1 when CM died in late December. Was very excited about Nougat at first, but there are a lot of bugs with mobile data, bluetooth, etc. After a couple months of flashing nightly builds hoping for things to get better, I gave up and went back to the last build of CM13 and all the bugs have disappeared and my battery life improved as well. Plus I can use Xposed which is nice.

Only problem is CM13 will never be updated so I'm stuck on December 2016 security patch level. Thus I am steadily getting more outdated. With no official Nougat ever coming to the G3, it makes me wonder if the bugs in LOS14.1 will ever be fixed since there will never be an official source to base it on. I know there are other Nougat-based roms out there but I imagine they must suffer from the same bugs as LineageOS.

I don't care about new features or anything, I just would like to have security updates because it seems like a bad idea not to.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgearn:
Have you ever really felt any real harm having "outdated" security patch? I'm kin to hear exact cases when your phone needs a new security patch. Or maybe you are installing experimental software from deep web? There are a lot of users with devices with Android 5.0.2 or 5.1 that haven't even heard about security patches, and they feel themselves very comfortable using their daily package of normal and verified software. So I don't see any point to look for a developing MM 6.0.1 ROM, as it is already developed and bugless.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
The misconception here is that those "security updates" are actually of any real world use... they are not. There are no real security exploits of any real significance to modern Android devices, all of these horrible vulnerabilities like Quadrooter, Certi-gate, Stagefright, FakeID, Towelroot, and Dirty Cow are of not really problems as outside of a controlled lab environment, there are no working exploits of any of them.

Security updates by themselves are a marketing ploy that sounds good, unless your devices is 3 or 4 years old (in which case you should just be replacing it anyway since there are no security updates).

A lot of people will disagree with me, but all these security updates are just media hype and company propaganda, there is no real worry about them because of all the other stuff we have in Android, like app sandboxing, DMverity, SElinux, and other mechanisms that even if an exploit does get past one things it has to deal with the others.

I am not an naive and I know what I am talking about, I have worked in the telecommunications and networking industry for over 25 years and deal with security in both telecom and IT daily. You have far more important things to worry about than security updates for your Android phone, unless you live on pirate apps and porn.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
Thanks guys. No, I haven't felt "unsafe" from not being totally updated, but if you were unsafe would you even know it? Isn't that part of the problem? At any rate, I suppose the real danger isn't my phone's OS but rather my online accounts, where my personal information is stored on the servers of who knows how many companies.

Between ad blocking and just careful habits and knowledge, I'm guessing I'm also much safer than the average smartphone user.

I will keep rolling with cm13 unless/until Alberto hammers out the Bluetooth bugs in Lineage. Nougat is cool but it's not worth my headphones disconnecting multiple times per day.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayantanRC:
Maybe this reply is off topic, but as far as my xt1550 is considered, all bugs related to data and Bluetooth have been fixed.

Hello great people, I am honored to be here.

This is my first real post and I am hoping that it gets a good response.

I recently bought a Lenovo S898t+ (aka Golden Warrior) with android version 4.2.2. I must confess there are quite a number great pointers to these cheap phone which is not limited the awesome 13MP from camera.

I understand that these version of phones were produced mainly for the Chinese, that means there are quite a number of limitation to the operations of the phone.

The major down side for me is that:

It doesn't have the Google Play service pre installed. This means that I can't use Play Store

I will really love some insight on how to root and install a custom ROM on this device.

[IMG="Aerial TV logo"]http://aerialtv.eu/ic_launcher.png[/IMG]

Description

Aerial TV brings DVB-T and DVB-T2 to Android using the cheap RTL2832 dongles. No root required.

If you already own an RTL-SDR dongle with the RTL2832 frontend then you are ready to go. Just plug it in with USB OTG cable and follow the on-screen instructions.

These dongles are easy to find online and cost around €10-€15. Those are the same dongles used for SDR. In case of Aerial TV the dongles are actually used in their native TV mode.

Pricing

This app is free to try and gives you 30 minutes of TV viewing during the trial period. After the trial period elapses you can still listen to radio for free.

Compatible devices

All RTL-SDR dongles should work fine with the app. For comprehensive list, check out my previous project's XDA thread: SDR Touch

Availability

The app is only available in countries that have DVB-T or DVB-T2 broadcasts. This means that for example, the app can't be downloaded in the USA.

Feedback

Any Feedback is welcome! I have released the app just recently so it still has some missing features (such as EPG, subtitles, etc.) I would like to build up a Q&A section here so feel free to contribute!
