Hello, is there any possible way t rewrite customization nuber? I need it for warranty.. I tryed to find but nothing found...
Ins't customization number written on build.prop???...'cause if it is just open it with any text app and change it.
And how can I get into build.prop? Im total noob in this.
Not sure quite what you are on about... build.prop does have the number you refer to, but since you have seen fit to flash an alternative ROM why don't you simply reverse that? If you have carelessly bricked the phone, then you cannot access build.prop anyway so the answer is no.
I have tried root, and now I have 0% batt problem..
Another case of trying to do something for no obvious reason and without the knowledge to do so.
Good luck with the Warranty.
So, I have tried to root my neo device with gingerbreak, and now I have 0% battery problem. Now I wanna know if its possible to customize it bac to Orange, and if it is, how to customze, because i never do this with android (everyone needs to start)...
@Akath19: thank you, it was in build.prop
@LenAsh: not so useful...

Hello everyone!
I recently rooted by phone and now I've been trying to remove the Vodafone bloat-ware from my handset using the titanium application. Unfortunately after so-called uninstalling, the application still remains, why can it be trashed?
The crap strikes back..
You either got to DEBRAND or FLASH to generic to get rid m8, Its vodaphones firmware, but just debrand (i did have a vodaphone x10 until I exorcised the daemon) update to RB2A026, and root, get rid of all the crap, or just debrand and lose the vodaphone crap, but be left with sony ericssons crap lol

Would reflashing the phone with SEUS do the job? Or would i need to achieve this some otber way, sorry I'm not entirely sure how. Is there a tutorial?
Thanks you.
The crap strikes back
If you go back a page you will see some links to forum threads, read these, for flashing you will need to have java6 21 (32bit) runtime enviroment (JRE) and java6 21 (32bit) development kit (JDK) installed on your pc (fbrlashing wont work on 64bit OS unless you have them as it doesnt work on 64bit version) when you done that find the thread NEWBIES GUIDE TO ROOT GIVING YOU THE LATEST FIRMWARE, you will only need the first file (this will flash you generic uk rf16 firmware and as such its standard, no vodaphone crap, after that use SEUS to update to R2BA026 and ySeaou can root this, theres a video on one of the threads that shows how to set up the path for the java.
But be aware this voids your warranty, just take time to read the threads ive linked and the NEWBIE THREAD, any q's just ask
heres the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755332
Thanks for the help fellas.
I don't worry about the warrenty thing - one could always claim/demand a replacement if anything should happen to this one. Ain't that why we insure our mobiles?
Anyway, I've managed to debrand my phone by using this tutorial in Win7, took a couple of goes (it's all about timing) then updated the firmware without all the bloatware (only SE stuff) and so far the phone seems to be happy. Now, I'm just about to re-root the phone and take out all the useless crap I don't use before I install the stuff that's actually useful
Curious. Why can't service providers, provide us with mobiles, like they left the facory? I mean, seriously, who actually uses all that crap?? Ain't it like buying a PC laptop and doing a new install minus all the bloat?
Hey guys.. Since updating to 026 I've notice something a little odd, though it doesn't affect the physical workings of the phone.
Under the notifications tab, my mobi always report there's "no service", yet the signal indicator is on max (four bars) !!! The phone continues to work.
Anyone else notice this??
Need to send my Hero back for a issue with bad response on touchscreen. So I have to remove the root before i send it.
The only problem is how.
I thought it would be easy just running the official RUU, but I dont manage. I have got about all the possible erros the RUU can give, ranging from wrong client, USB, battery and more.
I been spending more then 5 hours googling for help, installing different firmwares, retrying, using different USB drivers etc etc, but Im not managing to remove the custom recovery.
If anyone has any possible wa to remove it, shout out!
The correct way was to create a goldcard. For everyone else stuck, thats the way to go!
Have you tried searching "unroot" in the hero forums? Many posts exist about unrooting. 'google is my friend', but about phone related operations 'xda-developers is my friend' comes first
I've read somewhere that unroot hero is not reversible, i mean you can't root again after.... but i'm not sure it is true.
Hi I am needing quite a bit of help and information, I know that the help and information I need is quite a fair bit to me, but to a lot of you might actually just be basic stuff, I must confess i am new to the rooting world, and android, But i have been Researching rooting my phone for a few months now and finally plucked up the courage to do it at the weekend, anyway first things first, i have a Acer liquid e2 v370 with jelly bean 4.2.2, kernel version 3.4.5, I rooted my phone with Impactor through my pc and, when it was downloading it stopped and a message appeared saying payloader stopped or stopped working, so i thought it never worked but i then tried it on my tablet and it rooted it, so i downloaded root checker onto my phone and it said i had root access which i was over the moon with, Did payloader stop because that's how it goes onto the phone and stopped because the download was finished? ok now this might seem a daft question, but i will ask anyway, ok ive done loads of research but come across all different answers and different preferred ways, so now i am rooted what do i do? what apps are a must have? do i have the correct things installed? the apps i have are " super su " Titanium Back up " Busy Box " T-W-R-P " Root uninstaller " Root Checker " and that's it, in one of the apps i cant remember what one exactly but it asked to turn off boot loader, but i read that rooting your phone does that, am i on the right path? i will also tell you the main reasons i wanted root access, i wanted to uninstall preloaded apps that i don't want or use i did try this with the root uninstaller but failed to delete the apps as there still on my phone, i also wanted my phone to run a bit quicker and longer battery life change themes, and make my music louderand get some game cheats and that's about it other than having the options to do what i wish with the phone, i am hoping to get a custom rom but i haven't backed anything up yet as all i have done is browsed through the apps and not changed anything, anyway i will apologise in advance if i have placed this thread in the wrong place, i did think it was more suitable to genral than any other place, i also would like to thank you in advance as this is a big ask, but now i have root i just need a point in the right direction to get me started, thanks again for your time barry[/I]
help needed
There must be one of you geniuses out there that can help me get started with my newly rooted phone ,"acer liquid e 2 v370" I managed to root it with the help of alot of posts on this forum, but now its rooted I dont know what to do, I have looked every were and cant find what I am looking for, I would highly appreciate any help what so ever, it does not need to be all the things at once but if anyone has any information on what I do now with the things ive downloaded onto my phone, and like I mean just downloaded straight from google play, I havent flashed anything or backed anything up, i would greatly appreciate it, I would even like some help on how to back up my phone, so I can at least mess around with it my self and see what I can do, so any help from anyone will be much appreciated thanks again guys bazzaboy1:good:
Sorry for a very strange problem.... My wife still uses her old S III (I9300), although it is so outdated and partly broken. Some time ago we flashed CM 12, so that some apps who need a more up-to-date android can be used. But the phone is too slow, there is a crack in the display and sometimes it starts to reboot without any reason. There is not enough memory to install additional apps and without LTE it is no fun.
=> I want to buy a new smartphone for her, but she doesn't want to. She wants to save money and use it, until it is not usable any more.
Of course I could give it a good strike with a hammer or give it a treatment in the microwave oven, but I would prefer only a temporary lack of functions, so that perhaps later I can use it as backup phone for the kids. Therefore I am looking for some trick, app or system setting to SIMULATE, that the phone is broken. When she is happy with her new phone, I intend to "repair" it "by chance"....
Any ideas? How can I simulate, that the phone is broken? Thanks!
You need to hardbrick it.I dont know how to but you can Google it.

Thanks for the reply! I googled, but i think i want to SOFTbrick it, not to hardbrick it. As I wrote above, I want to "revive" it after some time....
I think the simplest way may be to take the phone, create a backup of all data, put the phone into download mode, start flashing a stock ROM, remove the USB cable when it starts to flash the final file, and reboot the phone. Hopefully, the phone will display the "firmware upgrade encountered an error" message which can be resolved by re-flashing the stock ROM with Odin.
Based on my experience with flashing a stock ROM over a stock ROM, this procedure always leaves the data and apps intact.

Ah,sorry I read it but while replying I forgot somehow.Yeah, then you need to soft brick it .It can be achieved by deleting some system files.So phone can got into bootloop.If your wife doesnt now how to get in to recovery then you should be ok.
Stock rooted phone needed for this, activate factory app. It will give a black window with device information over everything onscreen. Disable factory app to remove it later on.
By flashing the stock firmware in an attempt to make it all better gives the perfect opportunity to pretend the process buggered it.
Put some clear tape on the battery contacts ?
I've tried so many times here to get at least a response... Perhaps devs at xda have finally realised, goole are defo creating problems.
I know my stuff, I've flashed hundreds of android phones and tablets, but never have I seen solving a problem, and providing solutions disappear so fast.. Android 10 sux. Random macs destroy firewall security... but hey..
Tried so many times to flash the Armour x5, and know how to use all flash tools. Restored to origional provided rom, but imei was wrong, and got the GoogleKeyState: Fail, used sn write tool to do imei, worked.
So in testing, Imei went back to incorrect one, reflash origional firmware again, only this time, TEE PL error -3, now, I cant use serial writer to do anything, it wont write, yet all in testing is 'normal'
At no point have I messed with anything other than trying to put twrp on this phone, and always extracted a fresh firmware to flash when not happy with tests. To date I have yet to place a sim in this brand new phone.
seems we can do what we want until they get a wiff of our hacks, then they block them.
So yup I'm asking help to root my android 10 Armour x5, I'm testing, but no-one else seems to wanna input anymore, anyone wanna help me help them?
Well, finally managed to get rid of the GoogleKeyState: Fail, as well as correcting the imei's, a rather long drawn out process when no-one knows what they're doing anymore, I guess ya just got to love the old time hackers huh?
To be rid of big red GoogleKeySTate: Fail
Load up SNWrier_1828-4.0.0-vturkey select attestation file, found in extracted firmware, the google folder, select google attest key, make sure all else is unchecked then write, succesfull, gets rid of the big red ****.
Changing imei:
Tried with bootloader locked, then bootloader unlocked...
Using SNWrier_1828-4.0.0-vturkey: Looked like it wrote, got the green tick, upon rebooting phone, wrong imei's were still there, it did not write succesfully. Same with serial numbers.
Used Maui Meta build 9.1724.0.00, on left, select imei download, read from device, (1st box on left) only input the first 14 digits of your 15 digit imei, the last digit of each imei is the checksum, and loads automatically (if you dont increment macs) hit write, shut down the app gracefully, it turns fone off, upon restart, imei was fixed.
Thanks for the lack of help all you experienced folks waiting on us less qualified to wreck our fones so you can profit by reading how we did what..
I got more help from lesser site's..
Not bumping old threads, just keeping at least one up to date with my ever so slow progress..
Still no joy finding any twrp for this fone, but I did find out how to remove all the forced bloatware on the fone, by doing:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wellbeing
...and on and on till i got rid of it all, showing you dont need root to remove the apps that are locked to all apk's... surely this 'PM' can be used to grant access to su somehow? I know it can grant, but I know nothing of this layout in 10_Q, even after reading so much crap from others who clearly have as much a clue as I do... and they write apps lol...
I also managed to change the firmware, I swapped Android_10_Q and managed to load the firmware for the x5 PRO, a different fone, different firmware, yet it loaded, and worked 100%, but I went back to the 10_q in order to figure out more, as the pro had way more partitions, and there was NO system viewable compared to the 10_q, which at least can be grep'd.
As for the big red googlekeystate:fail, dont flash preloader when flashing anything! When I flashed the pro android over 10_q, I flashed the preloader of pro and it bricked the fone... I had to wait until fone was out of power before I could load up the writer to reflash 10_q, had to redo the macs and serial, which incidently, for those not knowing, BARCODE is the serial number if you need to revert to stock mac n serial using attestation key. Flashed Pro again and then back to 10_q without causing big red crap by not flashing preloader!!
Now as for those numpties that cant decide if we are using A/B or A only partitions, dont write apps if you cant get it right, your sacked?! One look at the preloader when loaded in SP Flash Tool clearly shows 2 boot sections!!!!!!! Treble checker does what? Lie and cause so many headaches...
Now if i had a twrp for either 10_Q or Pro variant of the ulefone armour x5....
