[Q] How to change the HW version information - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi, Guys
My R530's HW version(Setting-About-HW version) was changed to "DingTai" last week, and I want to change it back to "R530U.01", however I could not find any available way to implement this. I tried modifing the build.prop, but it did not work at all. I also tried using adb with setprop command but it back to "DingTai" after reboot.
Seems the HW version information is stored in the RTN data and will not be changed by ROM updates. Is there anyone know how to change it persistently?
Thanks a lot!

[Q] Where is the OS version number stored?

Hello, I have a Samsung Taylor (developer device) stuck in version 7003, and I'm trying to force-update it.
So far, I have patched ChevronWP7.Updater to apply the update if it detects that the phone version is 7.0.7003.0 (by default it only works if version is 7.0.7004.0). Everything works well, the program says the device was updated successfully, but when it reboots, it's still stuck in 7003.
So, I was hoping if anyone knows the registry key/system file where the current OS version is stored, to try and change the value there.
Sorry, there is literally NO WAY to update the Taylor or the Panther. Changing the OS version, unbranding or even changing the model number (i've changed mine from GW910 to LG-C900) through the registry won't force the update.
But to answer your question the key is "ROMVersion" (string) which is located in
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the version number in the registry to force an update? I'm stuck on 7003 on a Samsung Focus and want to try anything that will remotely give me a chance to upgrade this phone.
I've googled all over the place but haven't found a dump of hklm\system\platform\devicetargetinginfo or any other relevant areas of the registry. Hard with the SamsungRegistry app too, as you can only find/write to keys that you know the path to.

I found the WP7 Root Tools app, and I'm using that now to poke around the registry.
I gave up on this last night after poking around in the registry for 2-3 hours. There was nothing that specifically identified my OS version as 7003.
your in the wrong section , go to the developers section and look around there , no need to google, all the info you need is in there!good luck!

[LY-F1] Model number vs build.prop

Hi guys, hope somebody can help me.
I have an LY-F1 tablet with latest ICS 4.0.3 from manufacturer site.
It's pre-rooted already and i installed superuser and busybox.
My major problem is the market, my tablet is recognized has unknown MID which keeps me from getting acess to the full list of apps and gives me compatibility issues.
I've searched in build.prop and there's no field in that file that could define my tablet as MID.
Where can that info be stored for the market to read it?
On my about tablet it also shows MID for model number which means that must be stored somewhere else.
my ro.product.model has a value of A710, not MID!!
What the hell can i do to change this?
I was told to create a local.prop on /data folder, that local.prop should override the build.prop but with no result.
I used a build.prop file from a previous ICS firmware for the same device with no results too. That previous release had full market acess with that same file and the most strange thing was that when using that previous file whem going to about tablet nothing changed, model remains the same, build date remains the date of previous firmware also. Seems like nothing is read from build.prop.
Hope i made my point and sorry for the long post.
Thanks in advance
That's because "MID" model is defined in the "oem.prop" file. I suggest you to use a custom ROM based on the official one released on 10.3.2012.
Here is the video link, you can see how good it is, and it has a "MID" changed to other model so you can access a lot of more apps on makert.
Only bug I found in this one is the HDMI connection, but gaming is great, for the first time, I am able to play Aspahalt 6 on my Ly-f1 tablet.

Alseo, today, manufacturer released the new version ROM and it says that it has a better market compatibility. I'm gona test it as soon it gets downloaded.

[Q] HTC One S and wifi channels 12-14

Hi.
I have found that my rooted HTC One S 4.1.1 doesn't recognize Wi-Fi channels 12 and 13 (14th channel too, but it's not a problem for me).
I've red about fixing the Regulatory domain on other threads, even found the solution to change it with the help of SQLite Editor: I've edited the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, table "secure", field "wifi_country_code" and changed value from "ru" to "eu", but it haven't changed anything. Also, after reboot it returned to old value "ru".
I've also tried to do this with sqlite3 - with the same ending and no result.
Does anyone have the fix for this problem?
P.S. I also tried WIFICodes from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982149

Hello,
I am curious what rom you are running, If you are running stock JB 4.1.1 then the system partition has write protection. Any thing that you do the it will be undon upon a reboot. there are modded kernels in the cevelopment section that have gotten around this write protection. You might want to check out this thread, but only if you have a S4 model http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083229. Hope that helps.

I have a stock 4.1.1 rom, but I installed a kernel patch so I can save changes on /system partition. It was checked during su, busibox and sqlite3 instalations. Patch was also found on this subforum.
I'll check now if /data partition is write-protected.
Added later:
Ofcourse /data is not write-protected. I checked it by creating a new folder and new file in it. Also, in sqlite database mentioned before there is parameter called "wifi_on" and it saves the value during reboot.
So, it's not a problem of a privileges and write protection.

[Q] Settings don't save and go back to default after reboot

Hi guys . HereĀ“s my problem. When I change value of Background process limit in Settings>Developer Options I have no problems but when I restart the phone, this value goes back to defalut. I tried doing a hard reset but still the same.Then I tried decompile and edit SettingsProvider.apk and change the default value of app process limit but I can't find the specific file to edit. I hope someone can help me.
(Android 4.2.2, chipset MTK 6572)
PD:Sorry for my bad english
Opps...
I also had similar problem....
But luckily my device has got new firmware update.. And now i don't have this problem...

Emergency call only.

Hi all, I have the title problem, mi nexus 5 won't take signal with my Wind (ita) sim. I have tried two device, galaxy ace plus and galaxy S5 and they can take signal using same APN and located on the same desk in my house.
I've searched a lot on XDA and other forums to get a solution, but I can't find anything that's can help me. I can't seen it to Google because I can't find his original box and the original receipt.
My phone can take signal only using "xTraSmooth" rom, but is very old and I want to use Pure Nexus.
I've added this string to my build.prop it was posted as a potential solution:
"#settings
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1"
And I've changed *#*#4637#*#* option to LTE/GSM/wcdma auto (prl)
But at every reboot it set itself on LTE/GSM, with or without the build.prop string.
I know that is a common problem, but no one found a real solution.
Thanks in advance.
If everything works on a stock rom, you need to use a different custom ROM.

Today I will try to flash xtrasmooth or a stock factory image, thanks for the tip
----\\\UPDATE///----
Flashed same xtrasmooth, inserted string in build.prop and i do the trick with *#*#4636#*#* and the phone set itself to LTE/GSM auto (prl).
I wanto to use my nexus, why this phone have a lot of problems?
----\\\UPDATE 2///----
Flashed miui 8 global by Dio_S used the build.prop string and now work, i have to be lucky with a rom now? i don't like miui, and i will test other rom, i hope in a normal rom...
----\\\UPDATE 3///----
(i hope last update)
I've searched a lot to reach the best solution with this phone.
Now im using DarkRom and i've found a solution! Or something like a solution, hahaha.
I've downloaded "Nexus5 field test"
Give root permissions (magisk or super su, think doesn't matter)
Select three dot
Hit "Root Settings"
Select three dot
Hit "Settings (view)"
Hit LTE
Hit edit
Write your service code (id you dont have this code use this guide to get it using adb https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...radio-enable-lte-band-3-nexus-5-d820-t2928561 )
Use these settings:
Lte Enable/Disable (enable)
Band26 (disable)
Band41 (enable)
Band25 Proirity (1)
Band26 Proirity (1)
Band41 Proirity (0)
hit back to reboot and now should work, if not i don't know.
You have to reboot every time you select Airplane Mode and it will work!
Good Luck!
Can i up this post? If someone would to test my solution i will be very happy!
