[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mefree98:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 apparently originally a 930V. It purchased it from someone used in perfect condition, and it is running the Samsung stock AT&T firmware of 930U. The phone functions perfectly well, except for Wifi calling, HD Voice, and Number Sync with my Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier that I did purchase directly from AT&T. When I talked to the 'advanced' technical support, they looked up the IMEI of the phone and said, 'that IMEI is not shown as an AT&T branded phone as it is not in our database of devices sold by AT&T, therefore these services will not work.' Long story short, the Samsung Galaxy S7's are identical hardware, and it's running Samsung stock AT&T firmware. This means there is ZERO technical reason why these services won't work. They don't work simply because AT&T blocks them from working because the IMEI of my phone isn't in their database of phones they themselves have sold. So, they are literally blocking me from using services that I pay for because I didn't buy the phone from them, which is their way of trying to force me to purchase a phone from them. I filed a complaint with the FCC. They sent my complaint to AT&T, whereby I received an email from Misti Nations at the Office of the President for AT&T, who wanted to contact me to 'work towards a resolution.' Her definition of 'work towards a resolution' was to try to force me to buy a phone from them. Didn't try to debate at all on the merit of the complaint, didn't deny that there is zero technical reason it won't work, all she did was point to their terms of service agreement which says 'if you bring your own phone to AT&T, it is POSSIBLE that not all services will work correctly', which in her mind explains away my complaint. It does not. 'May not work' is far, far different than 'we will not allow to work.' So, I'm waiting to hear back from the FCC on this, just had the call with Misti this morning.

My opinion is we can't let carrier's block features simply because they don't like that the phone wasn't purchased from them. If they were allowing the services to attempt to function and they didn't, I wouldn't complain. I am PISSED because they are specifically preventing me from using services I am paying for, simply because they want to force me to buy a phone from them. We should NOT let AT&T (and others if they also follow this practice) to get away with either extortion, or pure laziness on their tech side (we don't want to allow it because who knows it MIGHT cause an issue, we're too lazy to check). So please, others in my boat that see this thread, also file a complaint with the FCC. Let's flood them and stop this extortionist practice by carriers!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gruuvin:
No thanks: no evidence of "blocking" services or "forcing" purchases. You actually sound a bit nutz.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] spasch:
I have an original 930u on stock firmware. It lacks the software to make those features work along with all of the AT&T bloat. I believe the software for the true AT&T variant has and allows those options but it has not been able to be added to the U firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beankid:
Other carriers do this all the time. I brought my ATT device to cricket and now I am not able to use wifi calling since it's not on their imei database to allow the feature to be turned on even though it would work no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] santiso:
I have the same phone, and can't use it in Southamerica. I think it's a AT&T model. I'm not interested in updating software or anything, just any stock rom available that it would make it work? Moderator Edit: NO IMEI talk on XDA I can't even root the phone with odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] waingro808:
First off, make sure you have the right G930U AT&T firmware, not the unbranded one. Second of all, you're flashing different firmware and expecting them to accommodate you; that's LOL-worthy.

Hello

I have a problem I bought an LG G6 H870 everything is fine ...but this phone shows wrong imei like 444444... (I think somebody tried to change imei for not register abroad device, here we need to register all abroad mobile phones) I love my phone and it is not a problem for me to register it, but phone shows strange unknown IMEI number :(

for OTA I need real LG G6 IMEI, I found it on simcard tray and checked up IMEI via many web sites and its connected with phone serial number and not in black list, so I think simcard tray has my real IMEI number.

Everything what I want it is just to back my real IMEIto get OTA updates and have a proper IMEI. but I do not know how to back my real IMEI :( please is there any way to do that?

I can't find seller, he is not responds anymore, so I can't back phone to him :(
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] davidka79:
me? not, I bought it

but im my country if you want to get a phone from abroad you need to register it and its not free of charge,

in other case phone will be locked at all networks.

all phones which sales inside country has a very high price because of taxes, even iPhone X here its about 1750usd.

so many people trying to change imei for not to pay for registration and taxes.

about me, I want to register this phone officially, but I need to back original IMEI to phone and start the procedure of registration.

So I do not stole phone, I want to do everything legal!

I bought this phone at second hand market, and for now the seller does not want to answer me at all.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:

well

according the site 4PDA.ru

EU version H870, Service Menu -> *#546368#*870# -> SVC Menu -> CRCWIZARD Test -> Auto MID

restore your original IMEI and write it.

Great, It works ?

My imei is present but I would like to know if I ever lose it by hacking a rom or kernel when my g6 will not be guaranteed anymore..

I keep the info in screenshot in case it can serve, thank you and sorry that some see the evil everywhere.

I think a thief would be smarter and have the means to handle such details, or resell in this state, as seems to have made your seller :/
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] davidka79:
For me it works, I was really surprised, and a bit confused ...why it is so easy, and why it not protected... I did not want to change imei every day, I just wanted to back original one...

according with 4pda thread it is not for every devices, some people reported that they does not have this block New IMEI, they have just information about current IMEI number and nothing more, I do not have more information, probably it because somebody changed imei before on my device, I really do not know

Hello,

I tried to root my device one day by installing twrp and and installing supersu there.

I went to recovery(TWRP) installed the supersu package and tried to reboot my device and it was stuck in a bootloop!

Then i tried to fix the bootloop by installing another ROM and i installed it and the device booted!

But when it booted all worked fine but one thing, an error was popping up all the time about some verification or something about IMEI and it was popping up like every 4 seconds or so. Then i tried to install a bunch of things none of it worked tried different roms did not work... Tried flashing some modem and fsg images and thats where it got even worse i could not even boot it it was stuck in a bootloop and now i'm trying to fix it. I am still able to access bootloader and TWRP(by using fastboot boot twrp.img) someone please help me! I have some knowledge using adb and fastboot(not very much).

My device is unlocked.

Xiaomi redmi 3, 16GB/2GB

And also i know that it was the EFS file causing the problem because the Baseband version was Unknown in the settings!

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pilib:
I really hope someone can help.

I followed the Hard Spl unlock instructions and all seemed to work well.

I then tried to install the original HTC WWE ROM and it froze at 24% reporting an error. I followed the recovery steps but noticed to my horror that the original SPL -1.25.0000 has reappeared.

I am unable to do anything and have the coloured bootloader screen. Attempts to run the Hard SPL unlock freeze at 0% can anyone help please........
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] fktsndr:
What did you do?

Step by step from the beginning!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pilib:
Step by step to destruction!

I ran the HardSpl unlock utility as per the detailed instructions. It worked well and I saw the new SPL screen. I unplugged the USB as per the instructions and ran the HTC original ROM Rom updater. All went well until IT REACHED 24% on the screen and on the PC - then it froze.

I waited 30 minutes hoping it would unfreeze but sadly............

I then removed the USB cable and attempted a hard reset. This brought me back to the Bootloader screen with the original SPL displayed.

Further attempts to load the HTC ROM produce an error telling me it cannot be installed on this device. I now have a very expensive paper weight.

Any help much appreciated.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] fktsndr:
Maybe here was the problem...

If you have hard-spl on your machine (in bootloader you see Olinex) after you do not have to replug the usb cable.

Just run the romupdateutility.

Now it seems you have original spl...

In this case you can not install not offical rom. You sould try the offical Orbit 2 rom.

Resurrection!

In desperation and believing I had nothing to lose I attempted to flash an O2 Artemis

ROM to the Polaris. It got to 2% failed but rebooted the device to the original ROM.

I had previously tried hard and soft restes and could get no further than bootloader screen.

I don't know or understand what happened but my phone is alive again.

I would wan anybody abut the Hard Spl Unlock.....it caused me major hasslr.

Thanks to those who tried to help me.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olipro:
clearly you didn't get Hard-SPL, you got the soft-spl

congratulations for your massive fail.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pilib:
Confusion

Thw file that I downloaded and used was "Hard-Spl-V2" This is what caused the problem.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] fktsndr:
No, it not is the problem of hard-spl.

You did something wrong, according to your step by step guide.

The correct steps:

Download hard-spl.

Plug your pda to pc.

On Pc run RomUpdateUtiliy (from Hard-spl folder)

Now you will see on PDA replug your usb cable. DO IT.

After Few minutes pda will reboot, hard-spl is installed.

Download the rom.

Now, STEP MANUALLY to bootlader. (press and hold camera, and press reset)

You will see a tricolor screen with OLINEX.

On the pc run the RomUpdateUtiliy (from the offical rom folder)

After Few minutes pda will reboot, new rom is installed.

Well I had something kind of exciting happen the otherday. I have been running Omni rom 8.1 with Google dialer for few days now. I had a friend of mine who is on a att iPhone 7 call me and all of a sudden it showed a HD icon and the call was alot more clear. Now I still don't have a volte icon and I don't think I can make HD Calls yet . Like I tried calling my dad on a stock 3T and it didn't work but if I call my friends iPhone 7 I get HD calls all day . I'm wondering if it has something to do with google and att finally making it work with the pixel 2 if it has something to do with it.

Hey guys,

I'm running Rexmix OS on my Pixel which means that i won't get an security update for Meltdown/Spectre...

Can i just put an fixed Kernel on it and go on with my marshmallow based Remix?

I found this one: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+/android-tegra-dragon-3.18-oreo-r6

I couldn't find out if it even has the fix...

How do i flash it, I'm used to the one file fasboot flashing stuff :/

And btw does anybody know if Phoenix OS (seems like they are continueing the Remix OS) has planned to support Pixel C (they didn't reply to my email...)?

sry for all my n00b questions :eek:

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurentbon:
I think kernels are specific to devices and android versions. So as long as the kernel you use is for the pixel c and the same android version as the rom you use, it should work. That said,you might struggle to find a pixel c kernel with fixes to those vulnerabilities...

Good luck, let is know if it works..

ok thanks a lot for the answeres, guys; good to know that meltdown doesn't affect the pixel

since the only thing i know is copy and paste, i guess that's it for me :silly:

still didnt get an answer from the phoenix OS guys :/ I guess they are busy enough already

So whats your guys opinion: could I just stay on my remix OS marshmallow, be carefull using the web and untrusted app sources and just deal with the spectre thread? Live is a risk? :silly:

btw: are you guys cool with aosp roms? Personally i use the pixel like a laptop so normal android with the status bar and the weired button setup seems very unhandy for me...

I am Stock Oreo with freeform windows enabled via adb and "taskbar" app installed from play store to launch apps in freeform mode and quiet happy. Stock freeform is buggier than the implementation found on RemixOS or PhoenixOS but I get the latest android version, on the upside. RemixOs is dead and PhoenixOS doesn't even have a pixelC version, I think..

If you are worried about security , you can root and install a custom kernel too..

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seralapph:
Hey there,

I'm kind of at the end of my patience with my Note Edge (N915-FY) about a week ago I was playing a not very resource intensive game (Love Nikki) and it suddenly froze, nothing worked so I pulled the battery.

Resulting was a non functioning phone, didn't want to boot nor charge, pulled the battery again and waited about half an hour.

It booted but it was incredible laggy and unstable, apps kept crashing or didn't want to start at all.

Seeing it's 4M out of warranty I thought why not root it if I have to reset it, now I'm running tmmw(or something like that) as recovery and run Resurrection Remix as ROM.

Now the phone doesn't lag, but apps keep crashing, games crash after a while, Google play services crash, chat apps crash, my launcher crashes sometimes even the system UI and to be honest I'm horribly annoyed seeing the phone is 4 months out of warranty and has a 5month old screen+battery (got replaced by Samsung due to a faulty screen causing my phone to keep dying on me)

I really hope some of you have an idea of what I can do.

Ps. Phone does work, sometimes for hours on end and sometimes I have to restart it six times in ten minutes
