locked in network 3

The message you get is from superuser which is giving superuser access to a rooted app. Maybe from the app you tried to unlock your phone with. Have you tried flashing it again, root it and try to unlock it? I'm sorry I have no experience with unlocking apps but it's worth a shot.
Ps. You should've posted this on the Q and A section

Can you look at /efs folder using a file manager like root explorer. If it is empty then you are in trouble. If so, send it to the service center and don't mention rooting etc or else your warranty will be voided. Just say your signal just dropped suddenly while you were watching YouTube etc. I experienced having an unknown imei (with an intact efs folder) but a reboot fixed it.

[Q] Problems with Thgo2v14 rom

Hi,
Ive a few bugs using this Rom,and hoping someone knows the answers.....
Im using 2.6.29n-1 kernel and my phone is an X10i
1.cant view google street view=getting force close error
2.occasionally get thrown off t-mobile network,and when I do,the option
to choose a network has disappeared in the mobile network settings.I
can only choose something when yellow triangle appears at top of screen bar.
3.my phone is an X10i,the model is now listed as SO-01C.Which model do I treat the
phone as,Im having trouble with drivers for computer,and cant pass apps from
pc to phone via market as it says I dont have a recognized device
Apart from these bugs-I like it
the n1 kernel sucks, i get the same errors like you, and the batery drain is massive... flash doomkernel v6 everything works fine here, and batery life is far better....
Thanks Patrik,I had to reflash everything and Ive put Galaxy rom with stock kernel back on.I had the bootloader unlocked,but now its locked.
Does anyone know if Ive got to install xrecovery as an app,as well as through rooting.I cant seem to unlock the bootloader,it just hangs when I try it.When I try to install xrecovery as an app,sometimes I get the green ticks,but mostly I get the red circle presumably meaning its not worked.
This may be stopping the final bit of the bootloader getting unlocker as the phone is still recognized?
for the SO-O1C part, it has something to do with the build.prop. ask other pros out there on how to change the build.prop from SO-O1C to X10i
how do I restore my phone to stock using SEUS or PCC from this ROM? My phone has some kind of locked itself, SEUS and PCc keep telling me that there is no update for my phone. I just want to restore it ffs.
What to do?
Model: SO-01C
Running: ThGo2_v14.0_Th_Kernel
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel-Version: 2.6.29-n1
You want to repair it using se suite.Mines had the same problem and eventually it started the repair and it loaded the stock stuff.Then I stuck on the Galaxy rom,but I wouldnt advise anyone to use that as the thread started a year ago and several links are dead and its impossible to suss out which rom to load first.

1. Unisntall maps and street view from system using any root app. Reinstall map an street view from market.
If you face same problem, clear data in settings, application section.
2. It may be a network issue.
3. Open build.prop using root explorer. Edit the following :
ro.product.model=so01c
ro.product.model=X10i
Or
Flash the generic build.prop from thjaps thread.

"  HiT ThAnKs If I'm NiCe To YoU!  "​
Thanks milton,but Ive had enough.Im running galaxy rom with stock kernel and locked bootloader-it works and Im keeping it at that.
Anything else I try to do is a complete disaster.
Im not on here to criticise anything,but Im not going to read 1000 posts then switch to Doomkernel v06,only to find theres a problem that needs my phone to be put back on stock stuff.Then find I cant restore the stuff I backed up with Titanium pro,because system has changed from the system that was backed up.
Funnily enough,the week Ive spent reading stuff and trying it,I could have worked and got the cash to buy a Sumsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks to the people that tried to help and replied,and good luck everyone....youll certainly need it.
Here is what i use,and something more....
1.suggest us doomkernel v6,is really good with ThGo2 rom
2.i upload my build.prop file which i already change to X10iView attachment build.rar
3.don't know if you already fing there is a white line under miui player and i fix it file is attachedView attachment 901170

LG Intuition root information
Hello to all, I receive my phone on monday, and im coming from a rooted/rom/oc'ed Samsung Infuse 4g, Xoom, SII, and countless cheap tablets all tweaked so I cant wait to get into the guts of this phone but first I need root. Im no dev or coder but definetly not a noob so hopefully somebody takes the file im gonna upload and see if it actually works. Searching by the Japanese name of Optimus Vu p895 I found a "one click'' root for the phone that im gonna post. They also claim to have the bootloader unlocked also to have a custom recovery like CWM but I havent found anything yet about that. I hope the dev's and rom guys get to this phone because to me it looks like the perfect pocket powerhouse imo.
THIS IS MEANT FOR DEV'S OR THE CURIOUS TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IS NOT MY FAULT.
This site was found by a simple google search, and the "super one-click" is meant for Android 2.3.5, hopefully one of you guys can make it work for 4.0.4 I dont get my phone til monday after thanksgiving so ill try it myself then.
the file is not uploading so the site is ninjaromeo . com /root-lg-optimus-vu-p895/
LG Intuition Root VIDEO Instruction
Performed a google search, with zero results found. Wondering if anyone has the ability to create a youtube step by step root instruction (for not so secure rooters), like myself. I have rooted four other devices but with each I had a video to refer too.
Thank You!

Yeah, no worries. How much do you know about development? I am not new to rooting, but I was so excited about removing bloatware that I removed a little too much and now I'm probably going to have send mine in for warranty. Any chance you know how to pull a system .img so I could reflash mine??? lol
I'll PM you just in case you dont see this.
Yeah I heard that if you remove a certain "bloatware " app it activates another verizon lock app, and once the phone is turned off it locks the phone up. I completly removed all verizon apps and the "lockout" so hopefully i wont have the that problem.
But ive flashed many other devices but i dont know how to put up the system image. It cant be that difficult, im gonna google and youtube it to find out how. I believe there is another thread on xda with the lg intuition system image also. But ill try to get that to you tonight if possible. One quick question....once you have the image how are you gonna flash it?, i thought the bootloader was locked, or is there a program like odin for LG?

Yeah, I'm luckily not locked out of the phone, but it would be nice to have a clean install. The boot loader is locked, and to my knowledge there is no Odin like program, but I was able to pull my .IMG a while ago. I'm hoping I can just push a clean .IMG, hard reset and call it good. I'll check when I get home to see if I can find how I did it.
Update: phone died...charged it up....turned on... received a security error. I deleted Verizon apps or something that triggered this. I returned the phone and within an hour rooted the new one without touching the Verizon apps.
This is not something new with LG phones I'm hearing. But if you go to developer options and turn on CPU stats it annoying to me that the phone is constantly sending messages to LG and Verizon servers and basically going ape**** in the background. So until the bootloader gets unlocked and a Rom is available I'm going with droidwall as a firewall and stock root. I wouldn't touch the Verizon apps or even quarantine IMO.

I finally got mine done. Went with a one click option that I found on youtube. It truly was a one click (well actually two) and it immediately gave me root priv. At any rate, download Titanium and then "freeze" the bloatware that you don't want. This way also prevents them from hogging cache and RAM. But, it doesn't trigger the commie Verizon bootloader locks. As of yet, ODIN does not support this device, but gooManager does. Haven't tried to flash yet, but it's downloaded and just sitting there....I'm afraid to pull the trigger. I wish I could remember the link...I typed "how to root android 4.0.4" and it was like the third or fourth option. I tried and tried and tried JCase's method, but got caught in the shell because it wouldn't verify lgroot.sh file was in place. It was. Looking forward to developing. Im in IT in college as a non-trad so expect a lot of questions you guys.

What is that lockout app? I'd like to do the same on my rooted vs950 just to ensure nothing I do bootloops it.
LG intuition Root 4.04 Help!
Can someone help me root my LG VS950 its been updated to 4.04 and I can't get it rooted using Bin4ry or Jcase suggestions so for... Others said it works with the 4.04 update, I just can't figure out what I may be doing wrong... when it gets to the reboot part and ask me to hit restore it starts and stops I about 5 seconds and nothing happens.. I added a pic of what it said when I tried to root using bin4ry method.. hopefully one of you can decipher this for me and help me find a solution...
P.S. and to be clear what USB connection type do I select (MTP, PTP, Internet Connection, or Charging) after I turn debugging mode on. and do I need to factory reset before I root?
Any other minor tid-bits would also be helpfull thanks..
Thanks in advance!
Here is how you fix it.
Power up the phone holding Power, Volume Up and Volume Down until Download Mode appears on the phone.
Connect the phone with the usb cable to the computer.
Use the LGMobile Support Tool and go to Customer Support -> Recovery Phone.
Follow the onscreen instructions from there.
This will download and reload your phone. Takes about 30 minutes total. All data will be lost.
Hopes this helps people.

Does this have anything to do with rooting the phone? Your response was @ no one in particular so i wanted to be sure before followed your directions
This is when you root it and you delete bloatware that it doesnt like. When the phone restarts and it shows that there is a Security Error, Can not find morningcall meaning a soft brick. The method that I gave gets your phone back up and running. It does wipe the phone so be prepared.
It shows the device connected and then I get an error when it is checking the information. It validates the esn, cell phone number, then right before it errors out it says its looking for LG PC-sync software. All drivers are installed. Any ideas?
I successfully got mine rooted but Bricked on restart due to Vz security software. I posted Step by Step restore in case of brick.

This method just does not want to work for me......I chose all rooting options and it keeps saying it can't mount, and file does not exist. I will try to post a screen shot when I get home but it is very similar to Peter Bishop but I am not even getting the prompt to add busy box, it says "confirm backup", "confirm restore", and then reboots and says it is done....but Root Checker says the device is not rooted. I am trying this on V31 of the root program.
Here is what is hangs on:
Device type:
1) New Standard-Root <thx Ariel Berkman>
2) New Xperia Root by Goroh_jun <Xperia Z, XperiaV [JellyBean] ...>
3) Old
4) Old-Special <for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab>
G) Google Glass Mode <thx Saurik for the ab file>
x) Unroot

[Q] Please Please Please Help! phone wont turn on :(

I think this thread was posted but i thought it will be more helpful now
My phone was rooted do i downloaded ROM toolbox pro and then decided to install a new theme for wifi button in notification bar
When i pressed install it began to give me errors as "Unfortunatly ....has stoped " about 50 error
then i killed rom toolbox and tried to enter it again the gave me " Unfortunatly jan has stopped " and i also tried to uninstall the app but it also gave me " unfortunatly ...." ( it was a greek word or a german one "
so the i tried to enter any other app and it gave me the same thing
Then i tried to restart the phone
But the phone never turned on! :'(
Help is DESPERATLY NEEDED
HOW TO FIX IT ??????????????????????????????????
P.S. Will i have to pay for another phone or for getting it fixed?
So the phone won't boot into recovery (power/home/volume up) or download mode (power/home/volume down) ? Keep trying this. If it won't, try a jig. If the jig doesn't work, try King Rat's trick where he tries to boot the phone without the battery (find a recent post of his then search his old posts, the thread/reference to his method will be there somewhere).
If none of that works, phone's probably borked. JTAG or service centre.
But definitely try the stuff I've suggested above. It ain't borked until you've tried everything.
P.S - If you do manage to fix it, stay away from Rom Toolbox. You're not the first to have it cause problems when using it to try and change fonts/system icons/etc.
If you can acess recovery mode restore your backup.
Hey..
Thanks for the advice but i went to a shop and fixed it..
They installed me a stock kernel with odin

No service after flashed jelly blast

Hi all,
Just flashed the jellyblast rom onto my s5830i, it's all working except I've got no signal/service.
I've been reading around and found that I might have to install a radio? If so, does anyone have any help as to which one?
Any help much appreciated, or if you need more info please ask.
Cheers,
Jack.

Well I'm using jelly blast no problem... I'm guessing you're using 3.0.5 (latest) did you first flash 3.0.4? If not i suggest going back to stock then 3.0.4 then .5
You might of had some random conflict if you flashed from another custom ROM to Jelly Blast
Also what do you mean radio?
The app? That's included in Jelly Blast, well it is in 3.0.4 (that's what I'm using)
Oh and apparently I'm now meant to tell people to ask questions and stuff in the sticky thread (The one by "iamareebjamal"), or post this in the jelly blast thread to help keep the general section free from spam
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I think you've lost your IMEI (don't worry it's not lost, this rom somehow can't read your IMEI number). Please check your IMEI number by using *#06# on call screen.
If you can't see your IMEI number, install GalaxyToolbox and check the IMEI from there. If you can see the IMEI from GalaxyToolbox, it means IMEI is still there but rom can't read it.
Please install any other rom. (you can/should backup your IMEI by using GalaxyToolbox before doing anyting on your system)

Thanks for bricking my phone.....
it doesn't work my phone can't go into CMW or boot now i would be extremely grateful for some help please.
@jrtbing, lets dig some graveyard mate, shall we First of all jellyBlast was band from XDA ages ago ( not to be mention there are far more sophisticated stable Rom @ Dev sub forum)
As for your problem goes, please remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
put it back and try press and hold the Volume Up + Home keys and then long press the Power key till the start up screen with “Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i″ logo blinks for two times and you see your desired recovery screen.
If the combo keys provided don't be effective ( due to possible boot loop, corruption of your partitions; kernel ,,etc,,etc,,) we need to check your download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously ,, still no use,, You probably hard-bricked your device mate. USB jig might be your last solution to force your device get into Download mode, nothing will be guaranteed though.

Xperia P JB lockscreen password problem

Hi everyone,
i have an xperia p with stock JB on it, i never used a password for the screen lock but half an hour ago i decided to protect it with a password, so i entered it twice to set it up, after that i tried to unlock the phone and it unlocked ... After that whenever i try to unlock it and enter the password it just says sorry try again, like when you type it wrong :S
I donßt know if it is possible that i set it up wrong 2 times and the third time when it unlocked or if it is another problem :/
There is no option "Forgot password" or something to reset it, and whenever i attemt to unlock it after 5,10,15 times i just need to wait :/
I tried turning of the phone, tried also to hold volume up + unlock button till it vibrates 3 times but still the same :/
I need help here please as fast as possible, the phone is like i said on stock .400 JB with the sliding xp kernel 8.1.1, it is ROOTED and the bootloader is unlocked, thanks everyone in advance
P.S. i know i can factory reset it in CWM but that is not an option for me :/

If the phone is turned on and i connect it to the PC it comes in windows explorer but when i open it it is just blank :S Maybe it is so in android before you unlock the phone :/
ok i can install android sdk but i need the exact steps to perform what you have told me, please
Hmm! Strange! Firstly try restarting! Get battery out for 15 minutes then back in and open your phone try again to unlock! It should also fix the not showing up in explorer! If it doesn't then I will help you with adb

I have tried that, in the xperia p the battery can not be removed but when you hold the volume up + unlock button for some seconds it vibrates 3 times and then it is like when you remove the battery ....
and the xperia p shows up in windows explorer but when i open it it doesnßt show the storages :/ Also i donßt know why the usb mount in cwm is not working :/
After i instal the android sdk what else do i need to install? I forgot it because it is a long time since i installed it on my home PC and now that i am not home i need to install everything here on this pc...
hey everyone,
i have managed to unlock my phone
For thoose who have this problem here is what i did :
Because i couldnt transfer any files by any way on my phone (i think it is because it was locked), i went first to cwm, made a nandroid backup, then i did factory reset7wipe data and after that i could open all files and folders in windows
Then i transfered the nandroid backup to my pc, opened the file "data.ext4.tar.a" in 7zip (winrar wont work because you cant delete the files direclty), i went to the subfolder "system" deleted 2 files, i dont know now the exact names but one is something gesture.key and the other is password/something, then you need to open the MD5 file in notepad and delete all the text and save the file, after that i copied the modified backup to my phone, went into cwm did a restore and the phone works without the password lock
Nice! Glad it was fixed
