You know, i hate to admit it, but i got OEM just around when i found this stupid easteregg. I am as confused as i am skeptical about it.

I guess it's just a coincidence on a firmware/csc which has OEM option by default and hidden temporarily.

WTF!!!!! i dont belive this I had the oem appear after 7 days jail from new out of sealed box I still can see oem switch.
Im still sammy stock I have updated to dec security patch. I have not odin anything as yet.
I just tried what is described in OP got the N logo up tapped on it until I had this symbol ?
then i rebooted from the N screen with ? and when i checked DEV options my OEM SWITCH was gone!!!!
I then went immediately back to N logo tapped until the cat symbol ? appeared again rebooted from N logo screen
immediately checked DEV options and my OEM switch is back!!!!!
I cant believe this worked Im not BullS***n you guys
Im still shaking my head I've tried it several times now and each time it will dis and re appear.

Mate I am not sure if you tried it or not but it is 100% working on my phone. I am in Australia and in screenshots hou can see device info. I dont know if its works on every device or not but it worked for me. I can send you video too if you want. Peopke can OEM option back on atleast some devices. But for sure it works.
It sounds funny but Try it and you will see it.

Still on ICS, NO update thru Kies... Can I change my CSC number to get official JB updates?
Help!
My phone was unlocked when I brought it, and I dropped it and smashed the screen a few months ago. I got the screen replaced and when I got the phone back, I noticed there is a 'N' on the notification bar of the right hand side, next to the signal bar. I also noticed that when I turned the phone on and off, the orange splash logo comes up, to which it never did before. I can not check for updates from the device, and my baseband version is I9300BVLH1. I am convinced its the same phone, but I just want to know if this has happened to everyone, or have I been screwed over by the company that replaced the screen. And when will I get the 4.1 update? Thanks a lot
Dont update,ICS is better....

"N" on notification bar is for just to notify you that a new msg, missed call or any about any event.

Who knows when you get the update ask the phone vendor .
orange splash logo reads as orange brand phone they have your update .
Base-band is nothing to do with an update is the modem .

Can`t make or recive any call

Hello there.
So, I flashed the I9100XWLQ2 ICS rom to my gf´s phone. The installation was successful, the problem is that now the phone can not recieve or make any phone calls.
Do I need to change the CSC thing as the original thread says, with the app (have not done it yet because I don`t know which is the CSC code from Perú)?
There is an image with information in front of my wallpaper that can not be removed:

I rebooted the phone and the image sticked in the wallpaper changed:

Thanks for your answer.
I don't know how but after 2 or 3 reboots and a couple of hours I can now make and receive phone calls, but the thing in the display is still there.
The IMEI seems to be fine, not really sure if it matches the one on the back of the battery because it was erased by the previous owner of the phone I guess.
Oh, the link seems to be very useful, there is no lockscreen and power button menu as well, I'll try it out.
Is this the safest way to root the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 ?

I followed the steps to root the phone, the CWM showed up, I was able to scroll up and down, but when I tried to select the " install zip from sdcard" option nothing happened, then I tried a few times the "Reboot now" option and an error appeared. I pressed the Power button for a second and the phone rebooted.
Should I try to flash a rooted kernel or try a different ICS rom? Which one are you using?

LG V10 Froze at logo screen PLEASE help cant find any answers

Okay so my phone randomly rebooted 2 days ago and when it got to the LG logo screen it froze. I tried to hard reset it, i went in to the hard reset menu clicked yes once then confirmed the hard reset by selecting yes a second time and the phone froze on highlighted yes. I have pulled the battery and tried to do this multiple times to no avail. So next i went to my PC and started google searches. Often i found things such as being stuck in boot loop which my phone wasn't, it was just frozen at the LG logo screen. Regardless I like to think of myself as self educated tech savvy (which now from reading all of your posts im not, im not even a little bit, in fact im tech stupid.) I did follow post through to the LGUP tool and downloaded a stock KDZ and got my phone into download mode>firmware update screen, i was able to get al the correct drivers and get LGUP to recognize the device and i loaded the stock KDZ and tried to do a Complete wipe reinstall. The program as able to interact with my device and went through the process, i thought i had fixed my phone. After a fresh install(or what i thought was a fresh install) i rebooted after the update and went to the LG logo screen and froze. The only difference is now when my phone starts, right before the LG logo appears i get the green android robot with what looks like open working "guts" real quick before it goes to the Logo and freezes. So back to the drawing board and i wanted to attempt some of the things ive seen like TWRP recovery etc but here i am getting lost. Forgive me if im posting things that have been answered but i keep getting confused. I dont know what the difference is between fastboot boot loader recovery mode or any of that is. also i kept noticing time and time again that my phone has to be in USB debugging mode and i dont know if it is. I cant turn my phone on to get it into USB debugging mode now anyways. Im okay with my warranty being voided and im okay with rooting if thats what i have to do to make it work. I have installed ADB and fastboot and some twrp recoveries etc but im clueless. Lastly know that i never Rooted my phone or anything but i was a torrent downloader. forgive me im triyng to provide as much information as possible.
PLEASE NOTE - I had to sign up to post here obviously and i loved how it said if you have an IOS go buy an android and come back LOL

Missing OEM unlock option, galaxy s9+ exynos

I tried to install twrp and it didn't work so I figured that the oem unlocking wasn't on (forgot about it) and went to turn it on and saw it wasn't there(the developer options had been on for some months I think), I tried the whole "move the clock and check updates" thing but it didn't help, is there any other way around this? I really wanted to install a rom, ps exynos and g965fd
Try going into the easter egg thing (when you tap a couple of times on the android version) this weirdly fixed it for me when i wanted to root my S9+

Problem after rolback from 10 beta to 9

First of all I want to say hello to all users (this is my first post)
Yesterday I was coming back from beta 10 to android 9 through hisuite. The whole operation went great. I configured and restored the phone from backup. Everything worked. In the morning the phone downloaded and installed beta 10, from this moment I only have the message like in the picture. *I can't add a photo or link
Screen witch text:
YOUR DEVICE HAS LOADED DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEM.
The phone is not detected in hisuite, has access to erecovery, unfortunately it is not possible to download the software, the message: getting package info failed appears.
The dload method also doesn't work.
Please help

ppl stoop messin with phones !! whyu u messing with beta crap ??? pointless and hate drop down menu sam elike samsung ugly
I was have exactly the same problem, i have try every metod but nothing restor my software. in the final Huawei service changed to new my logicborad.
Ive heard of this issue with many other others in the other Huawei forums. Basically something along the lines of the software is not matching or to that effect. This normally happened when 9.1 users flashed wrong Emui 10 Cust code firmware onto their device. But I've also read others like OP who received OTA and w brick occured.
OP, so to clarify, how did you originally upgrade to Emui 10? What method.
Once you downgraded rolled back to 9.1 did you restore a Emui 10 Hisuite.backup onto your device?

You're on xda forum... a place dedicated to modding and development of phones... and you're telling people to stop messing with their own devices? You're a few crayons short of a full box aren't you lol.
