Hi, I have just received my new (to me) SPV M700 from a guy on the internet.

It was originally locked to Orange. Has been flashed a few times by previous owner and has Ausdim on it (don't know what I'm talking about as am new to this stuff). It's been unlocked and upgraded to WM6.1, also has Tom Tom and European maps.

I put my O2 sim in and turned it on. What I got was a white screen with the words HTC, also MO5, BO5, DO3 Ausdim, and a tune played, then windows 6.1 screen came up. That's it. Nothing else happens, phone doesn't work, in fact nothing works. Oh yes, a green light at the top right hand side flashes occasionally.

Also, l had three new styli shipped from Japan. Pushed the white end onto the pen and inserted it into it's appropriate place on phone. Came to get it out and the end has come off leaving the stylus in the holder inside the machine. Oh dear. Not my day is it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have experience of flashing psp's and using pandora batteries so the prospect of fiddling with flashing is not totally scarey to me. But I did get to know the machine first and read a lot before trying it. Don't want to rush into such stuff with this phone if there is a simpler solution.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I realise I may have upset people by posting a question before I have contributed anything to the forum.

Will be happy to do so when I have the phone up and running.

Here's a quick introduction......... if that's the protocol.

Am a retired aged person who loves tinkering with new technology. Was first introduced to computers with the Sinclair ZX81 which had 1k of ram, yes 1k!

I even got a 16k rampak for the back. Such wonderful technology, I also had a fiddle with machine code programming.

Then I got a Commodore 64, more fun. Later on, I got a Psion, again more programming and compiling fun. Then laterley I have a couple of pc's and a laptop. Also got recently a psp and liked it so much that I bought another one with custom firmeware on it. Have had lots of fun upgrading and such.

Just got a garmin for the car too for when we go off to France for a few months with caravan.

Just a quick introduction as to who I am. Have had a look at some of the posts and I have lots to learn. Thanks for making it happen to a golden oldie.

Cheers

Puddle ('cause my hobby is scuba diving)
[P3600 General] The FD:
Hmmm....I feel for you. My Trinity has the original wm5 rom, when I boot it up it starts with the white HTC screen you described but then kicks into windows. I doesn't sound good!

As for contributing first...don't stress about it. We all have to start somewhere ;)
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Thanks for the reply, the chap who sold me the phone is going to ring me tomorrow to see if he can sort it out.

My sim is a non 3g, is it possible that this could be the problem?

If it's something so simple I should be lucky.

I was really excited about getting the phone - a bit of a bummer that it isn't working.

Cheers

Lyv
[P3600 General] The FD:
I don't think it is the sim! Does the device boot without the sim? If not then it something deeper!
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
No, it is exactly the same with no sim in. Oh dear.

Perhaps it can be remedied by re flashing ??? The guy who previously flashed it may have the solution.

Cheers

Lyv
[P3600 General] tnyynt:
Before thinking about reflashing, try Hard Resetting. Be warned: you will lose all data on your phone! ...but it could be a solution for your problem.
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Thanks for the advice, will speak to the guy I bought it off tomorrow evening and if we don't get anywhere consider the hard reboot. (under guidance).

Regards

Lyv
[P3600 General] mikecsmith:
Sorry.

It was my phone you bought so hello again! It's very strange that it's not getting past the Windows 6.1 splash screen even without a SIM as it was booting fine when I sent it and if it isn't getting past their even with the SIM removed then it may be something more intrinsic although I don't know what.

Hard reset the phone by pressing and holding both the soft keys and then using the stylus to reset the phone and follow the prompts, it will erase TomTom but you have all the back ups to reinstall that and I'll ring you and talk you through the process.

If the hard reset doesn't work then I'll shove a Mini SD to SD card converter in the post to you and walk you through flashing a new ROM from the memory card and if that doesn't fix it then I'm stumped and I'll give you a refund, but I'm sure it won't come to that.

Sorry for all the hassle!

Mike
[P3600 General] mikecsmith:
Or if you're still awake feel free to ring me (don't mind returning the call to save your phone bill) and I'll try and talk you through everything now as I'll be up for an hour or two yet, you should have my phone number in the PM I sent you on YD.
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Thanks for the reply Mike, would have been tucked up in bed when you posted so will speak with you tonight. Give me a bell on my landline, notified on yd site pm. I could ask a silly question.......did you load WM6.1?

Cheers

Lyv
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Oh dear, all our efforts failed:( Looks like it's dead. Could have been dropped in transit, thank goodness for insurance.

Will have to look for another phone now.

Cheers

Lyv
[P3600 General] Penzi:
not even flashing the firmware again helped :(?
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Soft and hard resetting does nothing. I tried connecting the device up to my pc with the usb cable but xp didn't have the drivers so can't access via that method.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Lyv
[P3600 General] -IK-:
You need to download and install Active Sync (at least version 4) before Windows XP will recognise the phone.

Get it here
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Thanks IK, will download and try again. I was on an older version of activesync from when I used to use the IPAQ.

Cheers

Lyv
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Upgraded my activesync to 4.5 and connected trinity. xp detected that a usb device had been added and activesync attempted to connect. At the end it gave up with a message that the connection to the windows mobile device couldn't be made.

The device itself had the red light at the top to show that it was taking power from the usb and the wm6.1 splash screen is still showing.

No joy, must be dead.

Thanks for help

Lyv
[P3600 General] mikecsmith:
I shall be writing a long, complaining letter to Royal Mail :(

From what the OP has said it sounds like the phone's reset button isn't working at all as she can't get the phone to enter bootloader or hard/soft reset the phone and the only way to power it down is to remove the battery so it sounds well and truly bricked.

I'll have a play when it gets sent back to me and may ask you guys for some help sorting it but I'm not hopeful.
[P3600 General] puddlediver:
Hi Mike,

Money arrived in Bank account. I've posted your phone etc back to you today, special delivery, so you should get it tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.

Hope you get some joy from PO.

Cheers

So i want to remove the warning message that my device can't be trusted when i boot it up. I read that it is possible with relocking the bootlaoder for that i would need the unlock code which i unfortunately lost.

is there any other way?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ShaKki:
no one?

Without bootloader unlock code, you can not relock bootloader.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterben Pistole:
alright so, i was trying to install a 9.0 rom and im not too sure what happened but like it ended up getting really funky. i decided to try and flash back to 6.0.1. now i dont have a recovery and its just stuck on the google screen when i try to boot. since my volume down button doesnt work at all im not too sure what to do now. is there any way to boot into fastboot without booting into the os/recovery or using volume down? any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBKiwi1:
Sounds like we're in a similar situation, although I can access Bootloader and Factory Recovery, I can't load ADB or Fastboot commands. I was trying to load a 9.0 ROM as well (StatixOS). Hope you find a solution.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterben Pistole:
I decided to just go out and purchase a Galaxy S8+. I am planning on opening up this phone and see whats up with the volume down button. If I can fix whatever is wrong with that I will try to flash a stock image and use the bootloop fix. i'll keep you updated :good:

If you own an Android device, you will want to be able to use it to its full extent. Many people in the XDA community are always looking for ways to root their phones, network unlock them, or get around an annoying FRP lock. Unlock Partner is here to help you with these issues by offering an affordable and effective solution to XDA users.

​

Carrier Unlock

If you bought a phone from a friend, or maybe you got it through your wireless provider, there's a good chance that it could be locked to a specific network. This means you wouldn't be able to get service if you want to use your phone on another carrier, or if you travel overseas. The carrier unlock service from Unlock Partner is a quick way to get your phone unlocked and ready to switch to another service.

FRP Lock Removal (Google and Samsung)

An FRP Lock is a Factory Reset Protection feature that you'll find on Google and Samsung phones. It's designed to prevent thieves from accessing your phone without the password. You could also encounter an FRP Lock by mistake when modifying your device, forgetting your password, or coming across some sort of error. In this situation you'll want to use the FRP lock removal service to get your phone up and running again.

Root My Devices

Rooting your device has many benefits. By rooting your phone, you can open up the possibilities of modding when it comes to themes, apps, UI, or the behavior of your Android. If you're having trouble rooting your phone on your own, give Unlock Partner a shot with their root my device service.

Samsung Unlock

Unlock your Samsung phone from Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, Xfinity and T-Mobile. The Samsung unlock service is designed specifically for people who have Samsung phones and want to unlock them to be used on any network.

Check out UNLOCK PARTNER and find the service that is right for your specific situation. Unlock Partner works quickly and is very easy to use.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sinister008:
Greetings devs and members:

I have recently begun using a Moto G5 Plus (XT1687 - N. American SKU) that was never updated (due to being in a drawer someplace).

I know that many things have been unlocked and improved by the devs for this particular handset. My question is simply this:

How should I update it? Should I update it?

Should I go OTA (retus) (currently blocking), or should I bypass everything and go directly to Oreo (using the update file, after a factory reset and such)?

Or, hell should I stick with Nougat right now? It seems that lots of folks are having issues, and I just wanted a more informed opinion.

Thank you.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
To stay with Nougat is not a bad choice, it's a well working system.

If you want to get to Oreo just apply all the OTA updates until you're there. No need to do anything else if your device isn't rooted or the system has been tampered in any other way.

Both firmwares seem to work well.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] goodjuju:
If the phone is not rooted, then OTA updates are the easiest. Make sure the phone is fully charged or plug it in first. Go to about phone, go to check system updates, accept OTAs until it says up to date, which is likely be Oreo. If it stops at -18 the it may take a few days before the phone alters you to Oreo update.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] arh2o:
Wanted to kick off the conversation about enabling high frame rate video recording on the Pixel 3. I just found out the Pixel 3 supports 1080p 120 FPS rear camera video recording. It's even advertised in their camera specs.

The Google Camera APK currently only supports 30fps or "Auto", which is god awful as it fluctuates FPS and doesn't even reach ~55 FPS in bright settings. Aside from enabling a constant 60 FPS option (like the Pixel 2), is there a way to enable the 120 FPS setting as well? Would this require a custom ROM that changes the Pixel 3 source code, or is the only thing necessary a patched APK of Google Camera? I'm wondering if it's also possible to do this through a Magisk module.

Happy to hear any ideas on how we all could enable 60/120 FPS as the hardware clearly supports it. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 845 supports 4K 60 FPS recording. This makes me believe that it may be even possible to enable 4k 60 FPS which would be amazing. It's really unfortunate we have to revert to an awful 30 FPS for 1080p recording after the Pixel 2 had a 60 FPS option. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheUndertaker21:
this doesn't belong here

you should ask this to be moved to general
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Komodoketavaran:
I also think its possible. The Hardware is definitely ready for this.

On my old Nexus 5X there were some guys that enabled 1080p/60fps through some edits of the camera lib's. Maybe this will happen too on the P3XL.

Also the Snapdragon 845 is listed with up to 2.8GHz but Google decided to ship the P3 with

2.5GHz but that is another point.

Maybe im wrong

Gesendet von meinem Pixel 3 XL mit Tapatalk
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] zetsumeikuro:
That is correct the 845 goes up to 2.8 ghz and Google under clocked it to 2.5 but a custom kernel can easily fix that. I upped mine back to 2.8 and still have great battery life.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hanschke:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] georgs_town:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] arh2o:
Yea I was hoping Google would include the 60 FPS video recording option on the Pixel 3 with their monthly updates but so far nothing. After this sparse January 2019 Pixel 3 update (only audio fixes) I've lost some hope that Google will ever add these high frame rate options. It's a real shame that the Pixel 2 can record at a constant 60 FPS, while the Pixel 3 cannot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pacman photog:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] georgs_town:
Maybe we could motivate the dev of the Mod for the Pocophone to give it a try? ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Komodoketavaran:
There is even a new magisk module for Samsung exynos devices to activate 4K@60. So I would be surprised if it were impossible for our Pixel.

Is there thing that allows me to connect to wireless headphones without going through the whole process manually?

Deactivated both extended Battery Optimization options

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Call the carrier and request support on the issue. If it is the sim card they can fix it.

If it's not the sim card and it's the phone causing it then the phone is probably blacklisted. The carrier can tell you if this is the case. If they do say the phone is blacklisted then you cant fix it, the IMEI is blocked on the network.
