My first attempt at rooting and upgrading firmware to 4.2.2 worked but it also sucked and feels like it is running slower, so I decided to go back to Stock Build running android 4.1.
Since downloading the Firmware, I cannot install apps without getting an error, "Your Device isn't compatible with this version".
GT-P5113 WiFi
PDA: P5113UECLK7
Purchased in Canada / Live in Canada
Build # JRO03C.P5113UECLK7
Could someone provide me with a detailed example of what exactly needs to be changed inside of the build.prop file so that it looks like it came from Canada and not GB as currently shown in said file.
Regards
Kelly
anyone?

Hi guys I have yet another crazy issue I am faced with
My Samsung galaxy tab p3110 model has just got the black screen of death after having replaced build.Prop file however I did create a backup of the build. Prop file only its inside the root folder of the tablet at stake. I only seem to have access to Odin mode and I need a way of moving the original built.Prop file back in its place. Does anyone here have any ideas of how I may go about doing this without risking screwing up my tablet further.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A friend has the null IMEI issue and I want to try the procedure outlined for the Samsung Captivate in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Samsung Captivate Android Development - > RESTORE IMEI and Product Code w/o ADB, PC (ALL DONE ON PHONE) nv_data.bin
I don't think the product code used for the captivate will work with the nexus S. Can someone tell me the product code to use when editing the following lines in nv_data.bin? (copied from the above thread!)
00188008|2e|34|00|00|00|00|ff|41|.4....A
00188010|54|54|00|00|00|00|53|47|TT....SG
00188018|48|2d|49|38|39|37|5a|4b|H-I897ZK
00188020|41|41|54|54|00|00|00|00|AATT....
Sorry if this has already been conclusively shown as not possible for nexus S. Some people on the captivate thread have managed to restore it using this method and I thought it would be worth a shot.
The nexus S in question is the SLCD version i9023.
Given below are the steps that caused the issue.
==============================================
Some days ago, official ICS for Nexus S was released, but my cell couldn;t auto update because it was running a custom ROM. I tried to follow this procedure to switch to 2.3.3 or .4. (http://www.pcworld.com/article/242759/how_to_revert_your_android_smartphone_to_a_stock_rom.html )
Installing the above ROM, my cell went berserk. The ROM booted fine but 3 of my touch buttons wouldn't light up and keyboard input alignment was all wrong and I had to remove battery and restart it every time I wanted to go back into some other setting.
After 9-10 restarts, I managed to reach the update setting, downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.6 OTA and installed it. It worked perfectly, and I was all set to download ICS and install it. Then I followed this link and installed ICS reaching where I am at the moment. (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/manually-install-android-4-0-3-ics-update-on-nexus-s-download/)
This ICS works perfectly fine, except that the phone is not receiving any network signals whatsoever.
I had made Oxygen's backup using CWM's backup feature on the cellphone and I thought I'd restore it, so I did a vol up + power, and selected recover. The cell restarted, showed a dead android, and booted into ICS. Several attempts have resulted in the same.
==============================================

Goophone Y5 Android 4.1.5
Hi guys,
It's my first post here. I ordered a Goophone Y5 from androidforcheap last December 26th, and just received the unit last January 7. I went on to root it right away, trying to follow instructions I found on youtube. Once rooted, I tried to flash the phone with WhiteTiger's V3 ROM, but the Flash Tool always says Incorrect Scatter Format. Thinking that I could just copy and paste all apps, I went on and moved all apps from WhiteTiger's ROM to my Apps folder using ES File Explorer. To make the story short, this proved to be a wrong move as I think most apps were overwritten with WhiteTiger's ROM apps. As such, everytime I reboot the phone, Superuser, along with some other apps like igallery and world clock crash and do not work. I have to re-install all these crashed apps using ES File Explorer everytime. Running in to this trouble, that's the only time I though of running an Antutu test. This is also the only time that I find out that the phone was running on Android 4.1.5.
Anyway, basically, my question is, could there be a way to return the phone back to original settings and apps? I tried the reset option on the phone's General Settings, but it never got back to the state it was in when I first got it.
I hope you guys can help me so I would not have wasted money on this phone. I know it was also a wrong move to get too excited about installing apps without really researching first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Has anyone bought a Goophone Y5 between December 2012 to January 2013? Does your version have Android 4.1.5? Could you please send me stock apps for this? Thanks!
I got googleplay working
Hi!
There is a way to get playstore working.
To get this working you will need some files to be replaced with the ones that are present on the phone.
First you will need to root your phone! There is a post on XDA giving instructions how to update the phone with the last firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729056
After you flash the phone with the last firmware it will be already rooted.
To get the Playstore working you will need to copy some apk's to /system/apps/.
To copy this files into the folder you will need a file explorer (ES File Manager) for example.
Some of the apk's are:
Vending.apk
Googlesync.apk
and some more.
I've a goophone y5 bought on thecheapchoice.com. They have good prices and a very good service.
My goophone didn't have PlayStore and some apps were in chinese. I've edited some apk's and i got everything working.
I recommend this phone to everyone who wants an iphone styled phone running android software.
It is a fast phone with a good camera, the gps works well as the wifi. The retina screen got me amazed by its quality. This is not a cheap clone as we see in other places. It is very well made and have exactly the same structure, screen and battery as the iphone 4s. They are so equal that you can replace goophone parts with an original iphone 4s.
I'll try to upload all the files you need into this post today.
Regards,

goophone of me use os 2.3.6. all you can help me send rom new to me
Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, basically a few weeks ago I was having problems with my Tab 2 p3110, it just wasn't running right. At around the same time I ordered an EZCAST hdmi device for my tv.
Well, I used Odin and cwm and taught myself how to upgrade to kitkat withCM11 nightlies, great stuff, fixed the issues I was having.
Then my tv dongle arrived, the one feature I wanted to use more than anything was screen mirror/AirPlay. No you can imagine my dismay when I couldn't even find the option in cm11, I found cast screen but it wouldn't work.
So, having tried several nightlies hoping the problem would be fixed I settled on reinstalling the stock 4.2.2 rom following the instructions on here. It bricked my tab 2 but I managed to get it going again and reinstalled the stock rom after several days of trying.
All this to find the screen mirror option was not available on the stock rom!! I can't figure out why but thought, maybe, an upgrade was needed, so I headed to the update tab to be told that my device was modified, updates are not available!
To be honest I'm ready to throw it in the lake behind my house I'm that frustrated, does anyone have any suggestions on getting screen mirroring working?
http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-P3110
Here... get the clean firmware here. It will give a pure system that won't trip the modification check.
It will also give you the factory recovery system.
Look up the p311x PIT file and when in odin pick the size that matches your tablet.
If it hangs at boot try doing a factory reset from recovery.
That's what worked for me to allow me to check updates.
I can't say that this will fix screen mirror, since I've never used it or seen the option on my p3113

Any other ideas?

Hey, I use my tablet with the Samsung Smart View ap.
You must have the right samsung tv for it to work and it's not perfect, but it is a nice feature. I stopped updating my tab because this is the most important feature for me.
I rooted my device and have the same issue as you, that's how I came across this thread.
Hey everyone,
I have dabbled in rooting and Roms for a while now but I stumbled upon something I am really not sure about. I had a Galaxy Note II from T-Mobile, SGH-T889, which I had a couple backups from this phone on my memory card. I shattered the screen on the phone and when trying to replace the screen, I completely destroyed the phone. So, I bought another Note II, this time it was an AT&T phone, SGH-i317. I was attempting to install a rom on it, which gave me a bootloop, and when I tried to restore, I accidentally used one of the old ones from the T889. Now when you look at my settings area and use apps that show you the information about your phone, it says that the phone is the T889 instead of the I317. I have tried to restore to the other one but it fails everytime. I don't know how to set my phone back to the original stock rom for the I317. Does anyone know of anyone that has had this problem in the past? I am a little stumped about what to even search for to figure this out. Thanks in advance for any help!
All you want is to restore the new phone to Stock Condition, please review Dedicated back to stock W/ files W/ Instructions
Having said that, please understand that what appears in Settings > About > Model Number is controlled in the build.prop file. You may use the app [APP][ROOT] build.prop Editor v2.0 to change the setting ro.product.model. Once that is successfully done and rebooted, you will notice the change in Settings >About menu.
