hi all,

i bought a c550 with wm6 already flashed and i want to get it back to something reliable and working.. this means 2003se.

i have found what i think is a good original orange rom, using isutil i've written this to an SD card and booted the phone to flash from it but it fails about halfway whrough with a checksum error.

I'm guessing this is either because the rom I have is bad or it needs the original SPL.

some questions:

what is an SPL? it's referred to a lot but there is never an explanation of what it is and what it does.

does anybody have a known good 2003se ROM? I don't care how it's branded but vanilla would be good if such a thing exists.

does anybody have the original SPL if that is the problem? All i can find are patched ones for wm5 or wm6.

thanks for all the help so far
[HTC Hurricane] dskid807:
Well, you could flash the t-mobile or the qtek 8200 one. The t-mob one works and the qtek needs the T9 mod and lang to be changed.

The installers both flash the spl and rom via usb.

Here's the qtek ftp://ftp.vobis.ru/pub/qtek/HU_BP_RUS_101577_13234_1410_ship.exe

The wm6 thread has a .cab for fixing text entry
[HTC Hurricane] Spades01:
Can you tell us what the problems are? I was astonished how well WM6 works, I will keep it.

cu,

Dirk
[HTC Hurricane] thehood:
it's now flashed using the qtek one and T9 modded. can't get MMS working though.

with WM6 it just wasn't slick. it would keep rebooting; text input was a bit hit and miss, it just didn't feel right. there was no one thing that put me off really (although MMS wasn't working there either)
[HTC Hurricane] thehood:
just remembered, there was a biggy..... activesync didn't work. i might try the olympic rom at some point but for now i need a reliable phone

I have an SPV C550 lying here, which i want the 2003SE back on.

I don't have an Mini SD > SD Adapter, so i can't flash the SD Rom image.

I tried downloading the HU_BP_RUS_101577_13234_1410_ship.exe, but the FTP server has a password that i don't know.

The T-Mobile ROM isn't working at my phone. It flashes succesfully, but when i start the phone, i only get the bootloader, no OS :confused:

Is there some way to flash the original Orange C550 ROM without an SD Card adapter?

Hello,

I had Samsung S7 flat and I gave it to my brother. He made hard reset and the phone is now stuck. It asks my old email and password but I have forgot it. I tryed bypass it as on youtube, but I couldn't do it.

I installed new firmware over Odin3, it didn't help.

I tried with instaling auto-root from this forum, also over Odin3, and it is blocked. ( Custom binary (RECOVERY) blocked by FRP lock )

Could you help me solve it?

I dont need to save any data becouse I made backup before I was giving it to him.

I tried to recover it with that backup but Smart Switch isn't alowing it.

Help me please.

[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
Hi,

I've ordered last week a NGP Pure Case for my white PH1 last week. Question is : I saw on Amazon that it won't fit with tempered glasss like orzero. I don't have orzero tempered glass, I have this one : https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Sc...74582&sr=1-1&keywords=lamshaw+essential+phone that NOT covers edges.

So do you think Pure Case will be fine for me ?

Thanks for your future answers.
[Essential Phone Accessories] TheDethEgineer:
I think you will be fine. The case only covers a very tiny area of the screen, enough to protect it but also to lift most screen protectors. From the amazon image and the fact that I use that incipio case I am like 90% sure that screen protector wont lift
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
You have it ? :) Can I have a pic plz ?

EDIT : If u want a pic of my tempered :)

[Essential Phone Accessories] TheDethEgineer:
There you go
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
thanks, u have a tempered ? :)

EDIT : Check my tempered on the link and tell me :)
[Essential Phone Accessories] andril:
When using this case i recommend a "Case Friendly" screen protector, tempered glass ones I have pop up around the top of the device. Just about to order https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075P1FSDX/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1IR0821FMR2TC&colid=3IFPSSR1GMYZN
[Essential Phone Accessories] TheDethEgineer:
No, I have a skinomi screen protector
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
Okay, so i'm worried again... :/

Cause i've a tempered (even if it doesn't fit the corners as u can see here : http://reho.st/view/self/5f8cd6acb097dc6cf027725f7aabba1752b9e6de.jpg )
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
looks like you got an all area adhesive screen protector which lifts off at the curved screen edges. Since it's already slighty lifted off at the edges I think there is no problem putting the Incipio on. The Incipio case is a problem for screen protectors which only have adhesive at the very edge, specifically at the top of the screen where the camera cutout is located. It will push and lift the adhesive off and since there is no other adhesive further down, the screen protector pretty much lifts all the way up. You then have a "clicking" sound when you tap onto that area (the adhesive will temporarily stick and then pop off when you let go).

Your screen protector is not perfectly centered and you may have small issues at the top and the bottom right where it comes close to the edge. Maybe you can re-center it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
Small issues are not a big deal, if u think I can use both ?
[Essential Phone Accessories] Tikerz:
I can vouch for this one. It fits great with my Tudia TAMM case. It's a TPU just like the Skinomi and IQ but a dry install. You peel off a small horizontal strip at the top to expose the adhesive. Position it starting at the top and then bend it a little to start separating the rest of the backing and start pushing your way down the screen so the backing comes off completely at the end. It's really grippy at first but that will pass as you use your phone. Since it is a TPU it will develop marks on it over time if you're not careful so be careful installing when trying to push out bubbles or whatever. I used a credit card wrapped in microfiber cloth and pushed out the bubbles before removing the top protective film. If you have bubbles that won't easily work out they will disappear after a few hours.

Best option so far IMO. I had the Delta Shield TPU before and the TAMM case push up the corners and edges.
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
So with my tempered, it will pop out or no ? :/
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
If you look at your picture your screen is already lifted off at the edges (read my previous post). So it is probably not a big deal
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
Hope you're right
[Essential Phone Accessories] basongwe:
But what do you mean by lifted ? My tempered should put off by itself with time ?
[Essential Phone Accessories] stinger4321:
Looks like availability its after xmas..
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
look carefully at the picture you took. I had this with all my curved screen phones. the lighter edge you see is where the screen protector is not attached. If you have not noticed it yet then I'm afraid I just ruined your enjoyment with it.

sorry
[Essential Phone Accessories] bill3508:
Mine lift the tempered glass. Unless they make one a little smaller I don't think it will work.
[Essential Phone Accessories] bigmook:
I think I am going to just go with the Incipio case and nothing more. The screen seems more responsive.
[Essential Phone Accessories] return.of.octobot:
Should've went with the DualPro from Incipio. I just got a black one and not only is it the highest quality case I've seen for the device but it fits just fine with Orzero TGP on.

EDIT: Felt as though I should add a caveat that applied to me, likely applies to a lot of folks having issues trying to use a case and screen protector simultaneously. You really need to nail the placement of the screen protector in order to prevent case interference, when centered as perfectly as is reasonable I have not encountered any issues with lifting but it did take two attempts to hit the sweet spot. You're much more likely to encounter lifting if the screen protector is favoring one side even slightly, so those guide stickers that you tend to want to chuck actually come in very handy when trying to get the placement just right.

Any help appreciated :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] vagelis:
HDMI to VGA adapter will not communicate properly the supported refresh rates through the analog interface of the VGA side, and your monitor thinks it's been set to a higher scanning frequency than it supports. The video output of the DeX is not supporting many modes. What about DVI? are you using that already with your pc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] stewarta13wsb:
Looks like my old Dell won't allow any higher and yes the DVI is used by PC.

Looks like a new monitor is required so the free DEX is not so free :)

Build number is different because your phone is branded (c02=vodafone brand). Just check emui versione, if it's 5 or above (so if you have nougat) you are ready to go.

I'm thinking in root my device but I have some doubt about it and I want to hear your opinion. All my old devices i've rooted because of performance, memory, vga improvements, but in my S8 i'm worried about root and loose the guarantee. Those custom rooms really makes difference in performance, battery e the others stuffs? Worth the risk?

Thanks!!

PS.:sorry for bad english :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] crixley:
I haven't yet, but I'm also on a snapdragon variant where it would mean losing 20% of my battery. If I had an exynos I'm sure I would. For custom roms, depends what you're looking for. They can add a lot of features and functionality.

P.s. - your english is great :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
for me (where I live there is just the exynos variant) it is totally worth it. All android devices i owned so far had all custom roms on it - for me it is more of a customisation thing, rather than an extreme performance increase - at least on the s8 because it IS already pretty fast and snappy. Sure here and there a bit faster and maybe with increasing the animation speed even more (at least for the eye). But what I love is just that I can make anything look like I want to. And other things like a stereo speaker mod puts the cherry on top of the cake.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djisgod:
for me the answer is YES it is worth it. the customisation and performance on a custom rom is so much better than stock. add to that dual speaker mod and the camera mod and i am 100% glad i rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jackherer72:
NO ,In the end, stock is always the best. you have guarantee. and s8 is good and fast enough. custom Rom always bugs bugs bugs
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jostian:
you can make arguments both ways, I recently rooted my S8 (Exynos) after having it for 3 months, I had no issues with it stock but did like the idea of installing the camera mod, speaker mod etc and the ability to debloat (not just freeze) bloat apps. So I'm enjoying it but I enjoyed while it was stock too. I you enjoy tweaking your phone then for sure its worth it, if not, the S8 is awesome stock too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thiagomed:
Glad of read all those answers. I have Exynos variant and I'm asking this just because my cellphone have some "issues" that are bothering me, like battery drain(main issue for me), volume of the speaker, BT Audio really sucks and a lot of other little things.

if you are curious about custom roms you can just root and stay on the stock rom. There are already a bunch of apps like substratum to theme and customize the stock rom the way you like it. And you can also flash camera/stereo speaker mod
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Marvinho+:
Just wanted to mention, that your BT Audio Issues won´t be fixed with a custom ROM, since they are usually using the Stock Samsung Bluetooth Stack. Speakervolume and batterylife can be better with Custom ROMS and Mods.

Thank you very much if you answer
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
I dont experienced any kind of battery loss after rooting. Pretty much the same, if not better (with renovate ice custom rom).

Rooting alone does nothing with your battery consumption - you just have more permissions on your filesystem. And when you change the look of your UI with substratum for example, there is also not more battery drain because you just change (mostly image) files - nothing thats runs in the background. Correct me if I am wrong.

And with mods like Camera/speaker mod you will also dont notice any significant change (maybe 2% less a day).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Arju:
First phone I have not rooted as I'm able to achieve a lot of customization without root. Yes there are some die-hard features I would love but rooting this phone vs not makes me more lean towards the not. One of the reason is loosing the guarantee and the other is loosing Samsung Pay. Once you trip the knox, the device is not eligible for Samsung Pay, even if you unroot it. Then again, if I were in a country without Samsung pay I probably would care less about tripping knox.

While helpful, they aren't as effective as removing the app in question. It's really a matter of personal preference. I could not possibly care less about the apps you mentioned. I never once even opened them (at least on purpose) before root existed, and I still have no need for them now

My sentiments exactly. I dont use Samsung apks and prefer the freedom of choice. Like you said its a matter of personal preference.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] motherninja:
For me, the answer is NO.

Based on my previous experiences, custom ROM is not worth the troubles. Before the S8, I'm using the OnePlus 3T (bootloader unlocked, TWRP Blu_Spark and Magisk for root). However, everytime I flashed the custom ROM, either it's from Sultanxda or any other developers, I'm always going back to stock OOS, because it's better and performs way better than custom. In the end, I only flashed the custom kernel with stable version of OOS (last time I used the Dorimanx Nougat OOS kernel).

Also, for me the S8 (I'm using the Exynos dual sim variant) is already a performance beast, stable and features rich phone, it already have anything I need to support my daily life.
