Hi! I've read about the new T-mobile rom, and I'm curious to install it on my mda exec. (I'm talking about the
UNI_TMUK_130114_130232_11003_WWE_BL101_Ship.exe file).
Problem is, no one on those forums has reported a successful install. Some mentionned the ROM and one person said it 'broke' their mda, but no one said "Yup, installed it, it works and updates your version numbers to x".
Would be nice to know your experiences using this new rom before trying it out :-D
Cheers!
no problem update . But i prefer dopoda rom. Tmobile has too much we don't need

It works fine on my Qtek 9000; I'v changed the header for QTEK_001, so very easy to install it. Downloadable on my website, separetely also qtek phoneskin is there for people who don't like T-mobile colors
thanks for the info!
BRICK
Hi i attempted an upgrade of the MDA Pro rom and now all i have is a grey brick. It now only sits in the boot screen and doesn't load any thing else but it does show the rom version to be updated and the radio.
After trying all the possible solutions suggested here to fix it i have had no luck so i am sending it back to T-Mobile for them to look at it and hopefully replace it.
Giving it back today, i'l let you guys know what happens in a few days.

Hi where can I find this rom?
Cheers JE
Update
Ok guys so just to let you know what happened......
Well as i had last said i gave in my handset back to T-mobile and after two long weeks without my MDA Pro i called them up and was told that it was in store and ready to collect. The best part about it is that i have now a Brand new MDA Pro as the last one was unfixable and it also has the new rom and radio on it!
So it looks like everything is good!!
If you have a problem with your MDA after flashing it and you are still within your warranty period then take it back and get a new one!!

hey tabasco, thanks for the tip, i tried that but it didn't work, but now its ok because i have already recieved a brand new MDA Pro from T-Mobile as i have warranty on my Phone.
itwasntme187: Have you tried the SIM unlock tool on your device with that new T-Mobile ROM yet? And if so, did it work OK?
I havn't tried it yet, not because i don't want to, but because the lousy T-Mobile repair centre replaced my MDA Pro with a faulty handset which has a hardware fault on it so i have given it back yet again and am without it for yet another 2 weeks. :twisted:
But hey at least i still have my BA thats keeping me going. I will unlock the MDA Pro when it comes back again this time and i'll let you guys know what happens.

No i believe the OP is in the right section. I believe Sprint's basebands start with VPL...Tmobile's start with UV. AT&T with UC...ect...
To the OP, that might actually be a new baseband/radio/firmware. Would be awesome if you could pull it :good:

Yes, 100% positive I have SGH-T999 - 16GB - Pebble Blue (T-Mobile) it was sealed when I got it and have been using it on T-Mobile for the passed two days.
I connected the phone to Samsung Kies to see if this is the latest firmware and this is the message I got.
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: PDA:LG1 / PHONE:LG1 / CSC:LG1 (TMB).
IS there any useful info here?

Thanks for searching it for me, do you have any idea why Kies is not recognizing the LG1 as a TMO firmware,

Sure,....Yours is the first Ive heard of with that firmware, although it lists both as being stock. TBH, I have no idea why KIES doesnt recognize it.

Hope ur not thinking "DUH" after reading, but have you seen the Snapdragon Toolkit by mskip in the T-Mo Android Development section? It's really a great tool, and one of the things it does rather quickly and easily is backup your firmware as a NANDROID backup image or it also gives you the choice to create a .tar file for ODIN to restore it. Just thought if you didn't already know about it or know how without it, it might help ya with pulling this new firmware. Of course, you'd have to talk to him (and/or teach him) about doing it - that or find someone else who's got it! I can't tonight, but tomorrow noon-ish, I'll see if I can find the updated firmware myself! If you haven't found it by then, I'd be happy to pull it for ya if I find it! Hope that helps! Have a good night!
Just bought my s3 saturday, I had that same software. Running what was clUned to be newest on here now, but baseband still shows t999UVLG1

I can't believe no one has asked yet..
For those of you that have this "new" software version, does your universal search work?
Long press the capacitive menu button, and enter a search term to see if it searched your whole phone or just the web (if it searches your whole phone, things like contacts and media will come up - if it just searches the web, only Google web based results will show)
FYI: When I first got my phone with UVALEM (ordered first day), pretty much the first thing I did was install Kies to sync with Outlook. At that time, it read the firmware version correctly, and said that it was not compatible with firmware upgrades. That changed about two days later.
Would like an answer to the universal search question.

It searches all, contacts, music, web, etc.

click on mobile phone and type 999 in the search box. it lists both UVALEM,and UVALG1 side by side where as if UVALG1 was the latest it wouldn't list UVALEM anymore.

Hey guys,
I know, threads about probably fake phones are not really welcome but my friend bought a S4 mini while he was in vacation in bangkok.
He asked me if I could have a look at it and maybe put away the chinese custom rom (can't enter bootloader mode or download mode).
I tried to get some information about this phone via imei and so on. As far as I got, it's probably a fake with a MediaTek
MTK6572 Dual Core 1.3 GHz Chipset and 512 mb of ram (a bit disappointing). Although Antutu and sys info show 1.5gb of ram.
I for myself just own nexus devices and and know the rooting and flashing process there but I don't want to just play around with it without knowing it will work.
So I've got some questions:
1. Can I just flash around on this device like I do on the nexus (with adb)? If not, could somebody lead me in the correct direction?
2. Is it maybe somehow possible to install some AOSP rom on it? Are there any compatible roms for such fake phones? Will CM maybe work?
3. Should I tell him to buy a decent (not fake) phone for her mother instead? (Looking at the Motorola G)
Sorry for these basic questions
Thanks for any help.

Tinkered around some more with the phone.
Was able to get it rooted and install cwm on it. This is were the story will end. Searched for hours and there are no AOSP roms, just these crappy chinese roms out there (which I don't even bother flashing) and half of the things are not working.
I hope my friend has learnt his lesson not buying crappy chinese phones where you can't even flash a proper rom on it. He's now looking forward to a Motorola Moto G as phone.
This chinese S4 Mini clone model will now land in the trash (where it actually belongs!)
plz help

how did u root it mine only shows speedtrum device n i cant root it
Hello,
I am trying to root an LG G Pad 2 8.0 (V498) but i cannot find the subforum for it, it doesnt seem to exist...
Does anyone knows where i can find any infos for this model ?
thanks!
its a relatively new model, especially in Canada.
I got one from Fido Wireless, but the sticker says v497; I have the gpad 2 8.0, but with wrong sticker?
anyways, there are plenty of guides to try in the lg g3 forum along side the one click root methods like kingoroot, root genius, and more...
LTE / data units are v495, v496, v497, and the wifi only version g pad II is V498 all sport the same hardware features other than data of course. I've rooted my v495 using the method in the all info v496 thread and it looks like they are making headway in development.
Thank you, Bryan.
that clarifies things for me.
so, do we know whats being worked on? like recoveries, kernels, etc...?
if so, do we know about cross-compatibility for each model?
Hi there will anyone out there be able to direct me to the root method for the Lg G Pad
Rogers version v497 any help would be appreciated

Look here, use at your own risk, I recently bricked my V495 AT&T trying to load TWRP Custom recovery. Rooting was not a problem though.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/tmobile-gpad-f-8-0-v496-info-t3139894
Being that there is no v498 sub, I guess I'll side track this thread a little. Someone mentioned here that v495-v498 are all essentially the same hardware. My son cracked the screen on his v498. I found only 1 supplier selling a specific v498 screen, from China, for $90.. I have found plenty of the other models like v495 or v496 for a little cheaper and in the US. I'm wondering if anyone knows if these other LCD/Digitizers should work on the v498? I have it opened up and, I actually see a LG-V495 stamped in the plastic even though the back sticker says V498, so I am assuming the v495/v496 screens should work on this, but just want to verify before I order one.

This is a little late to the game, but here's what worked for me on the wifi-only LG G Pad II 8.0 (v498), and it might help others.
I used Kingroot (4.8.2) to root the tablet, then used Supersume Pro from the Play Store to remove Kingroot and install Supersu. (I'd tried a couple other methods for removing Kingroot first, but they didn't work, and Supersume Pro (v. 9.3.7) nworked really quickly and with zero pain, so that's the method I'd recommend. It does cost a few bucks, but IMO, it was worth it for the ease of use.) It's working perfectly. (Supersume Pro is available at the Play store at: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro -- can't post the link because I'm a new member.)
I've rooted before using clockwork mod, etc., on other devices, but Kingroot does make rooting simpler. If you don't trust Kingroot for rooting, another method might work, but I had trouble finding one specifically for this device.
Cons to using Kingroot (and keeping it):
1. It installs a cleaner app called "Purify" which you may or may not want, and which you have to install to get to the rooting screen. It can be uninstalled separately, though.
2. Kingroot really messed with my Okay Google app. It turns itself on in "Accessibility" mode (or however you might put that correctly), and when turned off from the Accessibility settings, Okay Google will work again. However, Kingroot "insists" on turning itself on in the Accessibility settings, and will keep resetting, overriding your setting. It may also hijack other aspects of the tablet that I didn't notice -- I replaced it with SuperSU shortly after rooting.
3. Many people are nervous about the amount of data sent to the Kingroot servers in China during the rooting process. I'm on the fence about whether it's dangerous or not. I think it potentially is -- regardless of the location or ownership of the servers -- but I have no idea whether it's *actually* dangerous or not. If that aspect worries you, you should try another method to root your tablet. I think I would have been more reluctant to use Kingroot if I had the version of this tablet with the sim card.
4. Kingroot is quite recalcitrant to removal and replacement. Two methods that I used to try to remove Kingroot (without unrooting the device) didn't work -- and even after the program was no longer on the tablet, I could not replace its su with a different binary. I had to reinstall and uninstall using SuperSume. I might have had better results replacing it with SuperSu manually if I'd been more patient, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it.
Pros to using Kingroot:
1. It's fast.
2. It requires little technical skill.
3. It can be removed and replaced with SuperSu (or, presumably, some other superuser manager), though that ranges from very easy (using SuperSume) to extremely difficult (especially if you don't play with rooting a lot -- and people with only one or two Android devices generally root once then forget it till the next time they need to root a new device, and so don't have a huge amount of experience with it).
I hope this helps someone!
I'm going to be receiving my tablet soon and since it's stuck with Android 5.0 I was hoping to find a custom ROM with Android 6 but it turns out there's not even a thread for this device. Does anybody knows of any ROMs for this device? I'm getting mine from Fido and it's also LTE enabled. Rooting is not required for me since I'm not really into customization much but having the latest version of Android is important.

Hello all. I just finally picked up my new galaxy s9 a few hrs ago and in the process of transferring files /re downloading apps etc. When I went to login to xda on here for the first time it says I've already registered once
from my IP address.....I wasn't trying to register only login though....it then however let me create this new account? Lol. Anyone know how to fix that? My original login email is [email protected]
Anyways I've always used xda and guides posted here for all my rooting needs bcas I'm only moderately tech literate and have loved how the guides here have always been easy enough for me to follow successfully. I was unable to root my s7 apparently bcas of the firmware version...so I was excited to pick up my s9 tonight.
For some reason though when I'm searching for sm-g960u it's just showing its showing me posts here for the s3. Its probably this phone I'm already getting screwy little bugs and popups trying to navigate here ...another reason I want to root asap. Was just curious If anyone could link me whatever they think the most reputable guide for rooting this phone is.
My new phone :
Sprint sm-g960u galaxy s9
Android version 8.0.0 SDK 26
RF9 firmware
Sorry that I posted both problems (login and root problem) in same place...the root is my priority though. Thanks in advance and thanks to everyone who has worked on these guides and made years worth of rooting possible for people like me!
Or- if I can't find a guide here has anyone used or tried this method?
I usually only trust xda for these types of things so I'm hesitant to trust some other site....anyone know if legit?

The US models of the S9 with snapdragon are not rootable and probably never will be.
