Hey guys on my note 2 im getting texts from 6250 and its very annoying. Im on clean rom 4.9 ace and dont even have backup plus in settings so no idea why its doibg it. I never got them on jelly brans rom though. I tried going to my vzw accoubt to remove emails but wasnt sure how. If there is a step by step guide on where to go in my vzw accoubt or another way please let me know. Should I call vzw and tell them to remove backup on my line only?
Thanks

I'm trying to put the original operating system on the Samsung Galaxy Tablet SPH-P100, The reason i'm wanting to do this is because i'm trying to sell it, and cannot get my G-Mail Account off of it.
I've done the factory data reset, (home/menu/privacy/factory data reset) but it doesn't work. I've even wiped the cache partition from the manual screen and it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have a link to the software, and instructions on how to install it onto my samsung galaxy tablet?
Thanks for your help.
if anyone knows anything.. that'd be awesome.
Sprint or Verizon?
The Carrier is Sprint.

I can't really link the thread but search for [sprint]gingerbread 2.3.4 update. The thread will have some instructions. Do the bottom half unless you think you need to do both.
Thanks alot for your help, i'm going to give it a try, and i'll let you know if it worked for me or not.
Okay, i need to Re-install the Operating System, and i cant figure out the ODIN thing. Do you think you can run through the steps? I know that fourm you gave me showed steps, but i need more specific things.. like what do i do on the actual aplication.. it's quite confusing.
I am traveling and can't get that detailed right now. I'll be available I'm a few hours.

Ive searched and read and searched some more. Learned a lot about how to root and the best methods. But what I cant find is the answer to my specific question. I have a new Galaxy S2 skyrocket on at&t running the latest 2.3.6. If I were to root it using the guide on this site, will I lose all my contacts, pica, apps, and settings? Contacts and pics I'm not so worried about because I can back them up to my Pc. But since this is my first android phone (after 4yrs of iphones), it took me about 2 weeks of messing with the settings and notifications and sms apps and so on to get it just how I like it. I'm affraid if I wipe all that by rooting it then ill never be able get it back. Most of the stuff I just figured out by tinkering and trying new stuff till I got what I liked.
Anyway, if anyone can answer that question or point me in the right direction to a rooting process that wont cause me to lose all my stuff, id greatly appreciate it.

There is a sticky at the top of the general forums section that will explain it all. How to root 2.3.6 and all that. And no you will not lose data. Is there a particular reason why you wish to root?
This should be for 2.3.6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526

Just wanted to remove (or freeze) some of the bloatware. And maybe down the road as I get more comfortable with all this I may try custom roms and things like that. I can jailbreak an Iphone with my eyes closed and had mine customized every which way. This android stuff is awesome but very complicated compared to ios.
I did read the sticky but didn't see anywhere that it answered my specific question about losing settings and such. Today is the first time I've had access to a pc all week and was doing all the searching\reading on my phone. If its in there I must have over looked it.
What baseband are you on? You can find this under settings>about phone. Once you are rooted, titanium backup ( which you find in Play Store) will be your best friend for app back up and restore. It would also be advisable to also flash a version Clockwork mod recovery and make up a backup to restore just in case you soft brick for whatever reason.

I just did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
Actually very easy. Went smooth and I'm now rooted with superuser installed. Now I just need to learn what steps to do next to get the most out of this beast.
Baseband is I727UCLA3 by the way. If you've got any more tips I'll take all the info I can get
Next time search before posting please. Make it a habit.

Actually, as stated in my original post, I did search. I couldn't find the answer to my specific question about losing data and settings and having to start from scratch. Occupational_Hazzard was kind enough to give me the info thati needed. Then I felt comfortable proceeding with the root process.
If I violated the agreement in some way by asking a question on a forum because I wasn't able to find the answer, then by all means delete my account.
And to Occupational_Hazzard, thank you very much for helping out someone who is trying to learn by replying with useful information. Greatly appreciated

Now that you are rooted, I would highly recommend flashing the ClockWorkMod Recovery so you can possibly flash a custom rom in the future, which are usually rooted from the get-go. You need to make a back-up so you can restore to a previous date just in case you accidentally goof something. BTW congrats on the first root of a droid and I am glad to help you.
Did that and installed titanium backup. Was actually scared to death to try it but so far so good! Now I gotta just figure out how all this stuff works one step at a time
Thanks again!

Maybe someone else can chime in, but I usually just backup the user installed apps and data, wifi access points, and so forth. Also you can set the filter to at the top of list things to backup/restore.
Ill work on it some later tonight. By son just woke up from his nap and he doesn't allow for much phone tinkering time at only 15 months old.

For future reference turn google sync on for contacts and that's done... And there is an app called sms backup for sms... What else did you need that titanium doesn't get?
CM9 Skyrocket
Titanium pretty much covers it. I was just worried id lose everything in the rooting process before I was able to use titanium. Its all under control now. Didn't lose a thing and its all backed up

--;..you should have read that we have a questions forum for questions..
I rooted my gs3 today with no problem. I have root access and CWM installed. I came to find that I cannot turn WiFi on. Did a quick search and seems that I'm not alone. If I flash a new rom do you think WiFi will work? If not I need some suggestions. Thanks !!

Your wifi should be working fine after rooting your phone weird it isn't. You could try flashing a new rom that will probably make it work again.

I read somewhere that I used a wrong version of gs3 toolkit. Evidently it happened to someone else. But you think a new rom should enable it to work?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Oh I see, yes I am quite sure a new rom will make it work again

Depending on just how wrong the toolkit you used to root was, I'd suggest completely wiping and returning to stock and hoping you didn't do something really, really bad - but only time will tell.
Hi all,
I don't know whether I'm posting my question in the correct forum or not.
My Phone is SCH I-535. Accidentally, I upgraded to 4.3.
I have rooted and downloaded rootchecker from play store and it is rooted successfully.
Basically, I did a big blunder last time, by flashing a wrong ROM altogether. Flashed the International Version ROM and it hard bricked, and it was a mess. I could not use my phone for almost 6 months since, I did not have time to work on this. So now, I got the phone up and running and I did not know that, I should not accept the 4.3 update. So I did accept and now I'm on 4.3 and rooted.
Basically, I have 3 requirements.
1. Get a clean, fast, simple ROM, which has only essential Apps and no bloatware - CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY ROM-SCH-I535,4.3,ROOTED
2. Get the HotSpot feature working - I downloaded foxfi, and it is working fine. But if the stock Hotspot feature works, then it will be great. I don't like many Apps in my phone. I feel they make it a bit slow. I want my phone to be as fast as possible.
3. Increase the Brightness of my screen. I read somewhere about the kernel modification or something. I tried to do that last time and I messed it up badly.
So, I did not want to do anything stupid this time and I'm posting here.
I have read different threads and there is a lot of information, and that's how, I was able to root this 4.3 SCH I-535. But I don't want to do anything on my own, with out expert advice. So I'm posting here.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank You.
1. Lots of great roms available, take a look at all of them and see what looks interesting. Every rom will be experienced differently by everybody, so your best option here is to systematically try them out until you find a good one that runs like you need it to. Remember you need safestrap in order to do this and the rom can only be 4.3 TouchWiz.
2. I think there's a wifi hack somewhere that will remove the Verizon prompt completely. Not sure where to find it though, might not be s3 specific.
3. Increasing the brightness may not be possible. If there is a way, then an xposed module might be able to do it. Take a look at all of them and see if something allows you to modify that.

Foxfi free didn't work on my rooted Verizon s3. Did you use free or paid version.?

Everything was going good up untill the 5th and bamm.. Lost data.. So figure i would wait and just flashed the 12th and still no good. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Flashed Slim 7.8 and its working fine.
And I'm pretty sure we are officially supported, right?http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/61149/
Does stock sms work for mms on SlimROM or are there still APN issues with it like CM?
Yeah, i use chomp with slim cause there is the same issue with the apns.. I played with the apns for ever and could never get anything to work and just gave up. Lol... I dont know enough about it to fix it. Maybe you can. There is a guide with an app called apn backup and restore here at xda.. Have to move app to system app priv.. Do a search for it. Good luck!
Just tried APN backup and restore following the directions I found on XDA. The app said the restore process was successful but I still get the no APN message and MMS doesn't work. Reverted back to stock again.
