Hi folks
As mentioned in a thread I posted a couple of weeks back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207476), Samsung have very annoyingly blocked WiFi channels 12 & 13 on US-originated Tab 10.1s with their latest TouchWiz UX update.
I've got a Tab that I had been using quite happily on chan 13 (minimal interference from neighbouring WiFi APs), but after the updated it wouldn't connect at all, yet could see other networks. Moving the AP channel down <12 solved it, but this only works for my home AP that I have control over. The one at work is on either 12 or 13 and therefore now isn't visible.
The guys at PC Pro have tried their UK-purchased Tab 10.1 and it's working fine, so it seems to be just with the US ones that Samsung have blocked this.
I've logged a support request about it but don't hold out any great hope of them fixing it.
I was therefore wondering if anyone could think of a good way to re-enable this. Do the Tabs had a modem/radio type bin that could be flashed along the lines of the SGS II? If so would this do the trick or are chans 12/13 being blocked elsewhere?
Thanks for any suggestions - as you can see at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223978 I'm not the only one who has run into this problem!
(PS - have already tried a full factory reset before anyone suggests it )
What about flashing a Euro rom, would that then enable the extra channels?
That's the kind of thing I was wondering about, but wasn't sure if it would work or not.
My model number is GT-P7510UWYB and it's 16GB WiFi only model.
Do you think it would just be a case of getting hold of the stock August update for a UK device (and if so, any links? ) and installing it via Download mode/Odin or would it object to that saying it's not a valid ROM for that model?
I don't know I.f there's a newer rom than those shown on the samfirmware site, someone with more knowledge than me may point you in the right direction.

Moving to Q&A
Hey guys,
This is my 1st post here ever.
The only time I fiddled around with rooting an android phone was more than a year ago when I had an AT&T Samsung infuse. I followed very detailed instructions on how to root it and upgrade it. It worked like a charm and I'm so grateful to all of you experts trying to help newbies.
A friend of mine went to China last month and brought me a Samsung s3 clone.
The phone is factory unlocked BUT
1. It doesn't have the original google play application. It has a similar logo which leads to a Chinese app store.
2. Google mail account application is missing
3. The phone supports only Chinese, Korean and English languages. (I'd like to use it in different ones)
So I need to re-install a good Android version that has all the Android features that I'm missing
I thought it would be easy to find instructions on how to do it it here, but unfortunately I wasn't lucky to find a direct and clear step -by step instructions for my phone model
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Model #: mtk6515_ics2
Android version: 4.0.4
Base band version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14
Kernel Version: 3.0.13
[email protected]#1
Build Number: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18
Custom Build Version: V15.12
Please help!
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? :crying:
Hey man,
unfortunately I don't think anyone can help you rooting/changing roms as it's a replica and there isn't a real development for it.
BUT as for the play store you can DL the apk directly from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/14/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-6/
As for the phone language, after installing the google play store look for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=en
and choose the language of your wishing. That is in case that your phone supports it.
If you mean by google mail account the gmail app then in that case:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ith-slide-out-navigation-and-brand-new-inbox/
BTW for future references - try to make a search for yourself I'm sure you could've find those in less than a minute
Cheers.
Thanx
Thanx a lot for your effort and concern.
I downloaded the latest google play apk, I installed it, but it wasn't working apparently because "google login service" and "google services framework" were missing too!
So I downloaded them, but they needed to be installed in system/apps.
I downloaded "root explorer" which should help me accessing the system folder.
I copied&pasted the apps in system/apps but a message says "your phone should be rooted first in order to paste" came out.
So back to square1
On the other hand, I tried to disactivate some of the annoying Chinese applications that came with the system using "root app delete", and guess what?
I get the same message that I should root this phone first.
So how can I root this bloody thing???
Yeah that is sounds pretty frustraing..Well I guess you won't find here a "how to root s3 replica" guide and personally I wouldn't try and rooting the device as it could easily brick it.
I suggest you go to the store and tell them that you've got a phone with no option to download apps, or connect to your Google account...
Hope you'll sort things up with the store soon

I wish I could follow your advise. The shop is 4000 miles away in China.
There is a google store app installed, but it's fake. It has a similar icon but with different proportions. The problem is that it's in Chinese and it deals with chinese applications.
Oh that is unreachable, but maybe can you contact them via Email etc..?
Anyways I found this thread I think you'll see it much more beneficial than my help as I don't have experience on rooting replicas and it's focused on your device:

thanx,
This method is for i9300 mtk6575
Will it work on my phone which is i9300 mtk6515_ics2?
What are my chances to brick the phone if I follow this procedure?

If you flash recovery from different device, there's a big chance you brick it
Try to use MTKDroidTools to root it, its pretty safe.
As @lolet said correct, you can possibly brick your phone...
That's why I advise you to ask in the thread I've linked onto, there are fellows there with much more experience than myself with rooting your device.
I guess in the last couple of years I've flashed hundreds of times but only on samsung, htc and motorolas.

please this firmware link ,,,
Years ago I made the mistake of buying the S2 plus unstead of the S2 and I have regretted it since. Just no good support from official or unofficial site.
Now that the CM team has decided to officially support the S2 I would very much like to flash CM11 onto my GT-I9105p, but I am unsure if it will work. My understanding is that the GT-I9105p is identical to the GT-I9100 except for NCF. I do not care for NFC would not mind if I loose NFC capability.
So my question is: Can I flash the latest official CM11 nightly onto my GT-I9105p?
No you can't.Completely different hardware.

Really? As far as I can see the hardware is identical except for NFC. Where are you getting your infos from?
I9100 = Exynos chipset
I9105/P = Broadcom chipset
You were saying ? (But please, don't let us stop you bricking your phone)

I am not sure where you get this from, as I DO have an I9100P and I do run CM 11 Nightly (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634693)
I am not sure about the I9105 but the I9100P I am 100% sure is a Exynos chipset.
Also have a look here for info about SII models, just scroll a bit in the OP and you will see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822447
but again nothing about I9105, best bet is to download Cpuz from play store and run that and that will show you 100% correct info as I do not have an I9105.

Thats why i said to use cpuz to confirm on a I9105, as i do not know for that model.
But for the I9100P i am 100% sure.
i9100p -s2 with nfc
i9105p - s2 plus with nfc
to check go to settings/about phone
pretty easy i think
It is actually my girlfriends phone now, but I will check it using CPUZ next time I get my hands on her/it.
Also I think I remember (and this is why I asked in the first place) that some people reported successfully running the CM11 rom on their GT-I9105P.
We will see...
I have the China variant of S6 Edge. Which probably has the exact same specs as the other variants. I found an interesting custom rom that was originally for Note 8, ported for all the variants of S6 Edge EXCEPT MINE, THE CHINA ONE :'( So I was able to install the port successfully. The phone also boots properly. But once the lock/home screen appears, I can't do anything because the touch doesn't work. My question is, Is there any tweak I can do to the rom.zip file so that I can make the touch work on my device? Like take some attributes from the stock rom and modify it on the custom one?

That's pretty obvious. This is NOT what I'm looking for. I'm asking what change do I have to make to the custom rom so that I can make it compatible with my device. Because it's like the rom is tested for G925F/I/AND_ALMOST_ALL_THE_REST. The official thread doesn't say its tested on G9250 (CHN, TGY, BRI variants). So it's obvious it should not work. But the specs of those variants are very close. So I believe it can be easily ported for my device. Can anyone help me with this?

I love the tablet, bought two of the 4GB/64GB for $149 each directly from Samsung site.
Well worth the money, I got them for gaming and watching videos, web surfing, really great tablets.

Impreza thank you for making me rest.....I've been surfing online finding answers if that tablet can be rooted...please let me know if you guys found more info..thank you
Bought this thinking it was an upgrade from my Galaxy tab a 8.0 but since it's one ui core it's missing many features. Trying to trade it in now but it's past the 15 days. There's no smart view to mirror to any tv easily, theres no network file manager in my files (can't access G drive or any others).
Just make sure you know what you're buying. It's not lite because of being smaller than A7, it's a stripped down OS and the features can't be installed afterwards (have tried many apks). I didn't want a big tablet, wanted a mid size tablet with upgraded CPU.

I agree with that. If you are sure you know what you're buying, the experience of the A7 Lite isn't bad. One UI Core is the same stripped down OS in the regular A7 (Snapdragon 662) and in the A7 Lite. CPU works very fluid if you tweak some settings (default One UI animations are awfully slow). Battery lasts A LOT (8,5-9 hours SOT). Smart View was removed and changed in all One UI devices with the upgrade to Android 11/One UI 3.0 (regular and Core), and it was replaced with Google Cast native screen mirroring (ergo Chromecast).
Use Solid Explorer or Amaze if you want to access network file places. It works well on my side.
Despite being a Mediatek tablet, you wont't find anything MTK-related in the tablet. Samsung has its software very well masked. And I think that, in Helio P22T, Mediatek vulnerabilities have been fixed with security monthly patches.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I successfully rooted the tablet using the same method for the Lite as the regular A7 using THIS GUIDE. Obviously it tripped Knox but I needed it rooted for my use case. One note is that when you download the stock firmware with an application like Samsung Firmware Downloader, make sure you choose the correct Model and Region. These can be found in the settings on the tablet.
Is it possible to enable Google Discover for default launcher?
I bought Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE SM-T225 3/32GB and it works quite nice. Small and good device. Would be cool to see on it clean Android or LineageOS (fingers crossed). There is not too many ~8 inch tablets today with the latest Android version.

I've been working on porting TWRP for AOSP Android 11 to this device but have run into some roadblocks.
I currently have TWRP running but touch is not working and I can't seem to get Data R/W with the current tools available. It's possible it's an error in my build or maybe a workflow problem.
If anyone out there with more experience is doing the same or wants to help me sort some things out, please let me know.
I purchased the SM-T225 LTE 4/64GB model, a good device, but there was a problem on the latest T225XXU1AUH5 & UI3 firmware, specifically with a modem... after the end of the call, the mobile network disappears, and after rebooting Baseband Unknown Flashing does not help, only resetting the data helps, but before the next call... The device had Root rights, but is now installed stock firmware and blocked the bootloader, but the problem remains... At the same time, if you install the old modem UDA,UE3,UF2 , it works without problems... Has anyone encountered anything like this?
My only disappointment is that knox is included. I came from tab A 8.0 2019 which has no knox
