Quick question about backing up IMEI, etc - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Good evening all. I'm wanting to unlock my bootloader and flash cwm tomorrow, but I just have a quick question. I read that I want to back up my IMEI, and I plan on it... but I saw somewhere (and if I could find it again I wouldn't have to ask) that there's something else I should back up (along the same lines as the IMEI) with an app that's available in the play store. Does anyone by any chance know if that's still necessary, or what it is and the name of the app?
Sorry for the noob question, but like I said, I couldn't find it anywhere, and knowing me, I probably looked right at it and didn't realize it . Any help would be much appreciated.

mms problems

i cant get the mms on fuze to work can anybody help
can you explain the situation? Not being able to get the mms to work can be a plethora of things.
i cant send or recieve mms
what did you do prior to having this issue? did you install a specific software or changed some registry keys? Things don't just mess up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528369
mms never worked
can you explain how. Give an example of what you did and if there was an error message or a reaction or lack of.
Be specific or it'll be practically impossible to help you.
phone just says mms error i dident change anything it never worked phone is unlocked
Ok here's the last time I'm going to ask for this. I need you to be specific. Is there an error code? If so, what is it.
also, when I got my fuze, mms worked completely fine before and after tweaking. Chances are there is a conflict with softwares that you have installed OR someone changing a key in the registry. If you can provide a clear concise explanation of what problems you have, what it says, and what you did before and after (this includes installation, tweaking, or anything that is not part of the ordinary phone usage) it would really help.
If you can get a screen shot that would actually rock too. I suggest using MyMobiler so you can connect your phone directly to your computer and take a screenshot.
EDIT: i forgot to ask if you bought this phone brand new or used. And also if you have ever done a hard reset (aka format) on the phone before.
if all else fails, I suggest you do a hard reset. (i believe it is holding the center button and down dpad and pushing the reset and let go when the format screen comes up). I do want to warn you though, that it will wipe the phone clean with the original untampered version of wm6.1 So don't forget to sync, back up your txts and files and pictures before you perform a hard reset.
are you dumb or blind or do you just wanna talk about your phone if so im not interested like i have said before the phone says mms error what more do you want
This is what it looks like: you go to the doctor and say, "Doctor, my leg hurts."
"What happened when your leg hurted?"
"are you deaf or blind? My leg hurts, what more do you want to know?"
here's the problem. You come in and say I have a problem. but you refuse to do anything more than state the obvious. Errors almost always comes with numbers. and Errors don't happen out of thin air, ESPECIALLY when they are the original ROM with 0 modification. Obviously, something was done to it. and Obviously you are too lazy or too dense to realize something was done it.
So. If you are not even capable of anything more than a 1 liner, do everyone a favor and actually outline the problem in full including what you did or get the hell out.
Here's a hint: what I wanted to know was stated exactly in my previous post. Use that thing between your ears that is commonly called a brain, and try to answer the questions as best as you can without trying to be a jerk.
P.S I only used my phone as an example, I thought that much was apparent. Sorry i didn't realize that you couldn't comprehend that.

I understand your being upset with the situation but, MPUTTR is trying to assist you. Have you flashed your phone lately, ever? Did you recently add any CAB's? You can't just say my mms is not working and expect someone to help you with your problem...You have to give some tyoe of insight into your situation... So, the question is would you like help or not?
I refer the OP to my sig - "How to ask a question".
Just for fun, I have to ask - Do you even have a Messaging Plan? I switched something on my account once, and my Text Messaging got dropped by accident, and I couldn't send SMS anymore.
Please cooperate with those who are trying to help - it's really counterproductive to ridicule those who are trying to assist you. That'll just get you flamed, and no help .
can anyone else respond this guys an idiot
looks like the only idiot here is the one whose post is above this post of mine. goodluck with your problem. your rude behavior will get you nowhere.

[Q] Can some help with these 2 questions?

I have the T-Mobile Sensation 4G and I shattered my screen. I got a new one and I have to send the old one back. But I want to get all info and everything off of my phone. Can anyone tell me how to do so PLEASE. Oh and there is a lock on it. It is a "W" pattern but I can't see the dots to connect them. My phone comes on but all I see is different colored lights. The second question is there anyone I can pay to root my phone with the best stuff? I have tried but I REALLY suck at it. I don't know why but I just can't seem to understand any of it. I hope I didn't post this in the wrong room. Thank you all in advance for your help and sorry for the bother.

What I suggest you regards your personal information is just too keep the microSD card, nothing else you can do since your contacts are "stored" in your google account, but you could perform an hard reset of the device:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc...8/how_to_hard_reset_the_htc_sensation_4g.html
About how to root your phone, you could ask to someone you know, which have done it before.
To be honest all the guides here on XDA are very simple and they normally shows you step by step how to do it, also to help people who are new to this.

[Q] In way over my head regarding a Android stick (Mk809III)

Hi guys
First of all, I am not a programmer.. Not even very tech savyy, so if "ordinary" people isn't allowed to ask around here, I apologize. I would also like to mention that english isn't my primary language, so also please forgive me for my bad english.
My problem is that I am in wayyy over my head. I bought an android (hdmi)stick over Ebay and actually kind of expected it to be plug and play. After a bit of playing around and reading up on it I realize that this is far from the case.
The item is an Azurill MK809III
I have the following problems:
When I am trying to use apps that requires a rooted device, they say it isn't rooted. When trying to use apps that doesn't allow rooted devices, the app says it is. I am quite convinced that it is, but I don't know why various apps (also apps which only purpose is to check for root) says it isn't. I would, solely for that reason like to find another (still mediacenter-friendly) rom.
I also find the movies kind of choppy. According to various posts on the internet, it's because of a problem in the way the stock "kernel" handles things. I've read various recommendations of which alternative kernel that should be used. I don't know if another rom will solve this problem also?
The problem is that it's a JUNGLE out there. I honestly don't know how to flash a rom, and when reading up on it it seems VERY complicated. I know from earlier escapades that tech-things often look more complicated in writing, but what worries me the most is that all the guides that I found includes some kind of code.. Is that Linux? And does that mean that I need to have a computer running Linux to do this?
I am a totally virgin when it comes to tampering with things on this level.. I honestly thought it would be a nice "out of the box" alternative to a Chromecast, but boy was I wrong.
Can anyone save me? Either by guiding me through the whole process or maybe just tell me if this is possible without Linux and pointing me in the right direction(s)? I fell over something called "Rockchip Batch tool", but I don't know if that can be used for the process or only to flash back to the stock rom (or maybe I totally misunderstood what its for)
I am of course kind of afraid of breaking my device, so I don't dare to start following some guide on my own initiative, unless someone assured me that it is the right thing to do.
Thank you in advance.. :fingers-crossed:

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Which device do you own?
___
v7
XDA Assist
Unlock telephone
Thanks for your prompt answer. I actually did not expect to receive any answer at all! I have a Samsung GT-S3501 and somehow I have now managed to root it. I am new to this forum and I have never tried to manipulate any celh pone before. I have a background as a programmer though so I wanted to see if there is any possibility to unlock my old cell phone. It is a simple, cheap model so paying for it is not an option. The question is whether it is worth keeping at all. I used the UnlockClient to unlock it but the processing stopped after telling me that the root access worked. I have not understood whether I need to pay anything in order to make it finish but I guess this is out of your area though. (unlockclient.co/) Please for your help anyway. I have also used, the one by you described, ADB shell technique and I get access but the BML5 file is not found, maybe because my model is so simple since it doesn´t even have an SD-card. I was surprised myself since i thought it had. An older similar telehone I have do have one. I wonder if there is a way to display the telephons directory after having got SU access. Do you know this? Then I might see if there is a BML5 or not and which path it has. I am new to this so you might think I am stupid a puts strange questions but I am curious and persistant and I want to learn something, especially now when I have already spent too much time when my first intntion only was to save some money. But then it caught my interest and i did not want to give up. :silly: :fingers-crossed:

Which files / tutorial will I need

First off, I got to say I love yu XDA guys...I've never had any issue rooting something with a tutorial from here.
Problem is, I've read so many links on this phone, now I'm confused....and can't seem to get back to what I read. I just left Verizon in favor of Metro and got this phone for FREE during a promotional period about two weeks ago....so I really don't want to do anything stupid and brick it.
It's the 700T1 variant and the build is MMB29K.J700T1UVU2APK6 if that will help. If someone would just point this total noob to the right tutorial for this I'd appreciate it. It doessn't have a gyrosope sensor and I've read there are ways to trick it in to thinking it does, but of course you have to have root - and my kid and I want to play Pokemon Go so that we can actually see the little guys on our street, in our park, etc. Thanks!
Also, does anybody know if the "quick roots" work (Kingo Root, etc). What have / did you have success with?
