[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] costy11:
Hello,

I just purchased a HTC U11 Sprint version off ebay and it is google locked. It is on the newest firmware.

I googled around and tried other ways of getting around it, google account manager, but it says "Error" when it should say "Type Email and Password" option.

Is there any way of getting around this? The IMEI is not black listed on the site I checked it. Phone was a return that appears to have not removed the account before they reset it.

Thanks

Have you tried a factory reset from bootloader?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] costy11:
Yes, but that didn't help.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] p50kombi:
Next step would be to find the RUU that matches your version and start from there I guess, other than that I wouldn't know.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] costy11:
Just tried the RUU and it still says it is locked.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Your best bet is to return it thru the eBay Returns mechanism. You won't even have to pay postage to return it because it's unusable. Check Swappa for replacement. Likely no cure for this that doesn't cost money.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] costy11:
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried but setup is different from 7.0 to 7.1.1 and it never just bypasses the login step.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
contact the owner to give you temp access to his account, remove the account and add yours.

Else only way is to contact ebay or paypal to get a refund and send the device back.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] costy11:
Thanks! I cannot tell who the owner was, it does not show that.

Return shipping is not covered. So if I have to pay shipping, I figured i would look for a paid solution to this and actually found some on kijiji and ebay, reasonably priced.

I went with a local one off kijiji and they remoted to my phone connected to my pc by usb(with the help of some software) and were able to fix it when I put the phone in fastboot mode.

Once I rebooted it, I was good to go!!

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SavageCore:
Great, I'll root once we get decent AOSP builds!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] YandereSan:
Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I'd probably agree with MrNegative there. Given their track record, it's painfully clear that Samsung has no intention to sell directly to the customer - meaning they will never unlock their bootloader as their contract forbids it. So, unless some rogue employee leaks all of their internal software or a massive exploit is found, my hopes of an AOSP rom on Snapdragon is pretty low - especially when TWRP essentially relies on it.

Is Samsung to blame? Not really. It's the carriers who want branded devices and to push "their" experience onto you. Locking a bootloader, aside for security, also ensures that you can't tamper with their software and harm their brand.

If you want Snapdragon, a better bet is Google or OnePlus - the companies that don't use cancer like CSC and sell directly to the customer.

I am however very grateful that someone took upon the task of developing an AOSP port for the Exynos chipset. Video looks awesome, and I can't wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrNegative370:
Well, yeah you're right. I can't argue with that mate. Just to be clear I'm not a mean person, I just expect the worst so I'm not let down. Really tho I'm a nice guy, if you can look past the unshakeable pessimistic life views I have (and don't mention). Idk I just wanted to say ur right, my posts are less than positive but that doesn't take away the fact I am still greatful for anyone innovative. tldr; I'm negative but won't go looking for oposition. Hence my 2+ years of lurking and quiet thumbs up for those who are deserving.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] NaviPR:
Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to somehow "download" the Android software from a MTCD unit?

Like how you use update.img to update the software, except in reverse. Is there any way to download a copy of the system image, preferably in a convenient, usable update.img form, from a unit?

Thanks in advance.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] While2>1Confused:
I don't know the answer, I also want to know!

+ The same question but for the mcu.img
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] makes2068@gmail.com:
Sould be possible with the stock HA ROM from dasaita.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] NaviPR:
HA ROM from dasaita - what's that? Never head of a manufacturer like that?

What I meant was is there a possibility of downloading the ROM from any Android MTCD device (KGL, KLD, MX, GS, whatever), in a re-usable form (such as update.img) to be used on another Android-based device?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Oberbergler:
Yes, HA has an OTA update function for ROMs but I am not sure if it works. When the last update came out I've tried to update but it showed me that there is no update available. So I had to update manually. I am not sure if it didn't work because I have a GS with HA ROM, if the update wasn't published via OTA or if this function isn't workning yet because it is new.

OTA MCU updates aren't available.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cp_kirkley:
Was trying to set up a shortcut in the Ultimate Launch program, but have not been able to find the right file that opens up the Owner Information app.:confused:

Does anyone know where it is located, or its name? Thanks in advance, I hope.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
This might help:

Settings>Personal>Owner Information>Identification = 20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2

Settings>Personal>Owner Information>Notes = 22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2,1

Settings>Personal>Owner Information>Options = 22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2,2

How to write/create ur own shortcuts: (Test Platform = O2 XDA II Mini)

1) Choose a command line from the first example (highlighted in red) shown below (look out, its a massive list!!!). For instance, to create a shortcut to ur password settings at "Settings>Personal>Password>Password", the command line (just next to the settings name) is "20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1".

2) Open a new Notepad document on ur desktop.

3) Copy the command line (20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1) to the document.

4) Save the file as "Password.lnk" (since this setting is for the password, but u can name it to anything u wish).

5) Copy the file to ur ppc:

- e.g. '\Windows\Start Menu\' = u'll be able to access that setting from the Start Menu.

- e.g. '\Windows\Startup\' = that setting will be automatically run upon each soft-reset.

The ppc platform which I used to test ALL of the command lines below is the O2 XDA II Mini, which runs on the WM2003SE OS. My guess is that the lengthy stuff below will also work correctly for other XDA devices running on the same OS, but there may be slight variations for other devices/OS = u may have to trial and error if u have other devices/OS.

Don't k kw what I am doing wrong. Not doing any fancy stuff. Screen in time 1hour and already down to 65%..?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
Well, there's a lot of things that can affect the phone:

1. What's your screen resolution at?

2. What were you doing for that hour? Using active aps with constant data transfer (like streaming services or live games)?

3. How bright is your screen set? I keep mine at about 35%

4. Are you running any of the battery saver options?

5. What's your performance mode set to?

With my screen resolution dropped down to the lowest setting, my brightness at 35%, and no power saving features, I can read for three and a half hours on the FanFiction app, and not even drop to 70%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Boot up in safe mode and see if it still bad. If not, is the crap you installed, if it is, then something with the system, probably some settings. Also, if you just got the phone, give it few days, it's probably syncing and updating. Mine is at 9 hrs since full charge, 1h 10min SOT plus 1 hour AOD I'm at 80% and I know I can do better if I put some effort in it. I got everything on, max resolution, NFC, BT, GPS, wifi it's all on.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] can6rxw:
My work is replacing our old phones. I currently have the iPhone 5c. I don't really like it as I'm an Android guy but it's good to have so I can support it when needed. But with the choice I have between these two new phones, I'm not sure if I should stay with the iPhone (get the 6s) or go with the A5 (2017)? It'll be a work phone so not really a heavy usage type of phone. I'm leaning towards the A5 as, like I said, I'm an Android guy and It'd be nice to get back to that for a work phone. I've seen good and bad said about both phones. I heard that the 6S is very fast but with IPhone, it's the same old thing every time, just a different body.

What are you suggestions?

No luck at all.

It's quite strange the lack of parts for this phone. I'm guessing that "Sharp" only gave the brand...but the hardware is from someone else.

I've already found out that the phone has the following names:

-Sharp A1

-Sharp Z2

-Sharp Aquos Z2

or even

FS8002.

Sharp FS8002 stock rom

The stock rom at the Taiwan website (see my earlier post!) is an update-package. It contains a scatter-file that is not suitable for the flashtool...maybe someone can help with that. My guess is that it just does not have the proper format for flashtool. So someone should check that. The firmware seems to be complete, it's 2.1 Gigabyte.

Hi oh the brave ones! I bought Sharp z2 for an unbelievable low price (but only when my friend did that first) and now I'm seriously satisfied!

Low battery life is a bit of a pain but it's almost it! One big problem with the phone

But I have one inconvenience. The lowest volume level is really loud! I found a way to Engeneering Settings and looks like changed it there, no really use. So I just set it back for now. As I don't really understand all the settings meanings.

Some "way cool" app from the market didn't made anything.

Well, I found the source to that

Ok I actually found the source for that link its somewhere in 4PDA. Unfortunatly I flashed it onto my Sharp A1 and it bricked it entirely. No way to even get into the recovery or fastboot mode. It only vibrates and than does nothing. I think its probably because A1 and Z2 aren't the exact same phone as I thought. Oh well. If anyone got the A1 Firmware that would be amazing, but I don't have high hopes.
