Hi all, appologies if this is the wrong area for this question but i hope somone can help me out here.
I have the one x plus, great phone and was i really happy with jelly bean 4.1.1 (factory shipped version 2012 i beleive)
Anyway, i got the nudge for the 4.2.2 update today and thought nothing of it, i usually reasearch updates before hand but as the description only stated "improvements" and additional features to the phone i though why not...?
Well i regret doing so now, i just dont like the look or feel of it and the messaging colour schemes are nasty and no unlock pull ring......??????
Needless to say i want to revert back but the web is giving mixed info.
Can anyone tell me if its possible, i know i need to root my phone, i have done similar things to a galaxy but what im having difficulty with is actually finding the original 4.1.1 ROM for the HTX ONE X Plus.
I have the UK/EU version of the phone and could really do with a link for the FW.
If it helps my phones details are:
Software number: x.xx.401.2
CID: HTC_001
Thanks in advance guys.
Matt.
If it's just the look that you don't like there are third party launchers, lock screens, & messaging apps that will change the look out your phone. Some even have sense4 themes available.

Hey guys and gals. Just got my S2 couple days ago and I love it, few minor issues that I would love some help on.
First of all background. This is an international S2 i9100 with firmware of
PDA: KJ1 Phone: KI4 CSC: KJ3 (TUR). (from kies)
I bought this locally here in Turkey after the frustration that my iphone4 was locked to att and my droid incredible is cdma only.
One of my biggest concerns is Android market. I do not have the Same market that i do on my HTC incredible (verizon wireless USA bought). The market that came with S2 is only for free apps and missing most of the popular free apps.
How can I get the US version of Android market.
-After googling this I found out that I needed to install market enabler on a rooted phone. Is there any other method of doing this? (flashing with UK or US based ROM?)
Even though I have owned HTC incredible for 2 years, I never customized or rooted :/ and naturally i dont have any idea whats goin on here, can anyone point me in the right direction of customizing and tweaking the s2 (would love to see what this phone can do).
Thanks in advance
-darewinder
I would start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
Read the first few posts, then look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Again read the first few posts, then at least the last 10.
Once you understand the process, go ahead and root your phone.
Then read some of the ROM threads and try any you like the look of. I like VillainROM myself. Stock with some useful tweaks
Hope this helps
Thanks for the great info. I really dont want to root until i am fully confertable with it
Do you know the issue with the android market i mentioned above? The fact that mine is very limited (due to my location, ROM?)

I think the only way to use a different version of market it by only rooting.(someone correct if i am wrong). i think what you need is an app called market enabler. and that should do the trick...any other way i am not familiar with sorry.
Here you go mate a link to give you a bit more info what i was talking about
http://www.redmondpie.com/market-enabler-enable-paid-apps-in-android-market-outside-us-9140493/
hmm. I am a little confused by this since the HTC incredible i have has an US market working fine. (on the same wifi network as my s2)
Hi guys, I think we should have a separate section here so that we could share our experiences with this particular model...I am very sorry if I pissed off any moderators here but since there are no threads regarding this model I felt like I had to do it
I wanna start by telling you that I bought this model for 550$ from Seoul just a week ago and I am very happy. Actually my aim was to get Samsung Galaxy S 3 but I missed it by a week But then saw this phone and said lets give it a try. And guess what , I am more than impressed Anyways after checking couple of forums I saw that official ICS Package was out I upgraded it and then rooted by the help of this forum. Definitely better performance and nice tweaks. But this came with one small issue ; sms problem. when there is an incoming SMS it says "No Caller ID" . Again after little bit googling I found the app called Handcent and it did the trick. Until an international or custom Rom comes out this could be the solution I suppose
One of the biggest differences of the Korean version is you cant go in to the secret menus by typing the secret codes in to the keypad so that caused some trouble while looking for the imei number and trying to change the SMSC ...
Lets share our experiences here so that anyone who has this version can find it here without too much hustle...

This is a bit off topic but..... this link....
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3569&c=samsung_shv-e160l_galaxy_note_lte
shows it to be basically a ATT type Note....... so other than country specific software quirks........ it is just a 717 note...... I will leave open for now but I think this will not go far, since there are not a lot of Korean Note user to interact with........... If you could please root your phone and provide a sys-dump and kernel and modem extraction would be very helpful to the community....
Thanks Oka1

I already investigated , the blocks dont seem to be the same , the kernel is not the same either , probably needs to be reoriented or somethign and the usr key layout (obviously) needs to be changed . so with a modified updater script and proper kernel by flashing only system it *should work*
Why is this in the development thread? Rom/Mods/Modems only from what I am aware of.

Well oka1 posted on it and is his decision to make if the thread is closed or moved, maybe they will get the system dump so others with the Korean note can benefit from it.

Why don't you just make a bounty thread? If money is involved maybe it might convince a dev to try cooking up a rom and making a custom kernel. It is always nice to get free development but money can motivate people. Put up some money and I am sure others will too and see if you can't get it done. I have seen lots of other threads on your model and I know everyone with your device wants it badly. Its worth a try anyway.
So if I was to unlock my i717 and took it to Korea it would work with their service providers? :s

hi
hi people, i use this korean model as well.
I am new to android (in fact, started 2 months ago) and not a native english speaker. So, i'm having a lot trouble with some technical words u guys use.
The thing is, i'm thinking of rooting my phone. but there arent much forums and threads on this model. I was wondering if the rooting guides here would work on my phone? and there are so many of em (also for i717...) ...
SOOooo, if possible could you quote the rooting guide (or link to thread) which will definitely work on my phone. i cant afford to make my phone obsolete
Help is much appreciated. Thanks
(btw, i'm from Mongolia. heya, fellow earthlings... haha)
Korean devs are at androidpub and matpclub, but not really serious development is there. Few kernel devs like tegrak and mostly cosmetic/porting from International ROM.
Korean note have 32GB/64GB variety, three diffrent carrier (SKT: HSPA+2100 LTE800/1800, KT: HSPA+2100 LTE1800, LGU: CDMArev.B1800 LTE800), hardware button, DMB, carrier specific addon plugins and frameworks, and pink note
and SHV-E160L for LGU, which is CDMA only(like Verizon). Pretty sure ATT note ROMs are not portable.

Reported for taking the discussion off topic.
Why would you even tell him? Better yet...why care? At least he started one thread for a whole model, to discuss all parts. He could be proliferating. Lets be nice here.
When there was no i717 forum, people discussed it in the Int. forum.
The i717R is discussed here...even though the forum is titled "AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717" as it should be.
Be easy on him. This is good for a chat, and it's about as close to the right place as it gets. He was honest about the fact that he knew there was no other place, and he was nice.
And his specific version has LTE and is powered by a snapdragon. So perhaps this truely is as good as it gets on XDA.

It'd be cool if you could post some pictures and do a hardware impressions review.
Thanks for understanding guys. That is the xda spirit that we seek here is the first quadrant standart benchmark that I had.
It is with the latest ICS and rooted firmware. Cant wait to flash a custom rom to this(if there would ever be one)...

hidden menu !!!
I was searching for an answer for my sms problem and I found out an answer for something else. I was not able to enter any secret codes for the system menus before now it turns out that there is a hidden menu placed by the korean network which you can enter by typing 319 712 358 and then when it asks fr the password you type 0821 and Vala! You have access to the system settings now.
Now here is the question I can not make a video call because my LTE/3G server dns is a korean server address. Does anybody know where I could find the network server dns addresses for the Gsm Networks...
i broke my e160s menu and back button by flashing i717 kernel. i was able to flash cwm and i717 roms but orientation and those buttons are not working. flashing back original kernel and firmware didnt restore those buttons. i could get the phone back working without those buttons. but now i have to use another app to trigger those buttons.

Hi , as far as I know you can unbrick or recover your phone from any kind of situation. They have released the tool to do that. I can not post another forum's link here so just check the chinese version xda which is koxda and use google translate. You can find a lot of info there but it is hard to understand because of the translation. So actually that is the main reason I started this thread...
Im Glad man that youve open this threat for us.
i also use this device. Galaxy note shv-e160..UNRAZ how did you fix your sms problem? need it badly?? please
As I have wrote before in one of my posts in this thread I solved this with the free app called Handcent sms where you could download it from the market I can both send and recieve sms with no problem. But one handicap is I cant use any Turkish characters nor can exceed the 160 characters limit. Then you see the failed sending the message error... I am waiting for the update which would hopefully solve all the miseries One of the guys in this forum installed Honeycomb from the Koxda forum and solved the problem like that but I dont like using old firmware while there is an update
Hi! Is there any ICS 4.0 ROMs for Samsung I9008L? It's a phone that I've recently bought in China and I realized that there are no official update for this phone as it's a China Mobile modified phone. If there isn't, is it possible for any pros to help make one? A search on Google shows that many users of this phone are asking for one too but to no avail, so I thought I'll ask on XDA since there are pros around. And, thanks in advance!
Hi guys, new to the forum and fairly new to android, I've got a galaxy s3 international version locked to the three network in the UK, I've been considering using a custom ROM but wanted to know your opinions?
Criteria for me are simple, I like the look of stock android so I want that or something similar, but I like the functionality of TouchWiz so would like to retain that if possible. The only other thing is the quick settings/toggles on the notification bar in TouchWiz, this is something I now cannot live without so it needs to have that or something similar (tbh i just like the auto rotate, wifi and brightness toggles).
Thanks in advance guys, look forward to your answers.
Chris.
Welcome to the forums. Always check the stickies before you post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935514
the best thing to do is to try different ROMs for yourself. Everyone has their own preference and no 2 rom set ups are exactly the same.

Thanks for the advice, ill look into some roms and try a few out, another question i have though is whats the difference between the android development forum, and the original development forum?
Also in regards to checking the stickies about asking which rom is best I did not ask that, I simply asked for a recontamination from experianced users to help me find a rom which suited my specification, it wasnt as simple as which rom is the best, it was more of a "which rom can provide these features" kinda thing.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it, cant help but think how much better/faster my s3 will be without the samsung software

It will be much better. :highfive: I will be closing this though, as it will turn into a best rom thread and "who has more features" or "whose is more stable". Best thing to do is read up and try.
