Its not that we dont like it.
I think its the way your trying to advertise it as such.
"They finally opened their website today guys!!!!!!"
You mean yourself?
Seems like your spamming it here and there also. Maybe just chill out and include the updates into your sig etc.

Yeah, he's almost as annoying as Napbree

It's a useful website, chill out.

oops.... sorry about the title i meant I not they... hahhaha embarissing.... i dont get it.... i thought you guys would like it...... and what do you mean updates in my sig????

I'm not even going to visit your site because of your cheap tactics to try to get free advertizing for your site. Please. Don't try to fool us. When you were saying "They" it was not a mistake. everything you have written was an attempt to decieve us. I'm not fooled.

um.... why would i decieve you guys.... i've visited this forum for so long!!! and have made so much for you guys with my htc diamond tf3d themes... some people always think of you guys are so ignorent... i'm just trying to help!!!

Nothing against you personally. But I read through your other thread and the way you had written your posts - You were trying to make it seem that you had nothing to do with it and just stumbled on to it or something. I am sure it may be a very usefull site but I just don't like the way you presented it here (and why two different threads?)

sorry OK i made a mistake... now do you want to hold it on me for ever!!!!!! ok gosh!
give my site a chance i'm sure you'll like it... you dont have to but... i mean it is quite useful

I won't hold it against you forever. Maybe a day. I am glad to see that you are taking ownership. I will probably take a peek at your site. I have checked out your contributions to this site and you are right. You have contribued quite a bit. Your contributions are appreciated here and valued. Keep up the good work with your themes etc... Just remember not to take advantage of everyone here through trickery. If your site is that great, Take pride in it and take ownership. If there is trickery, thefts, Warez in your site than I would understand why you would not take ownership.
I have to admit - When I first saw this it was in your other thread on this. I didn't notice in your opening post *In this thread) that you actually say you worked on this site. I appologize; however, you did still appear very dishonest in the other thread and even in this one a little bit. You should go and edit your posts though so that things are clear with everyone. And don't clutter the forums with multiple threads.

thanks for understanding!!
i'm really excited about this website.... especcailly the mobile optimized version!!!! stay tuned!!
ps. yah i better edit the rest... heheh

And another giznetic-thread..
Spamming the board isn't appreciated!!

[Q] Is my Google account safe?

Just wondering, I put my username and password in all different kind of roms and android builds, but how do I know someone is not getting my information?

You don't. The Devs are really just harvesting all our personal and bank account details to commit the biggest swindle in history.
The codename for this piece of criminal mischief is project Nand!
Beware.

OMG is this true?!?! Thanks for the warning! I definitely wont be upgrading to NAND when it is available now!!

Don't laugh, a few months ago I saw someone on here offering to sell credit card details and other personal details at 20 bucks a piece...it might be a valid question. Hope we don't have a reason to worry though!

Lol, dont use your phone for money transactions then..

This thread delivers.

My 2 Cents
Here is something to think about.
when you begin hacking your phone (flashing/rooting/custom roms/emulations/etc) you are exposing yourself to a level of risk, your phone is no longer as secure and could be open to various means of attack. but then in today's world your phone is at risk to some extent when you turn it on because it is connected to the network/wifi/bluetooth/etc so do what you can to keep your private data secure, use your brain to make choices and if you are unsure about something then don't do it, (if you are not comfortable with this then don't use your phone to do finance related transactions) that being said, in my time here I have not become aware of any intentional attempts by the devs to conduct such a scam. this is a mostly self policing community and I know any number of members here that would react very negatively to any attempt at such activity. so that is my 2 cents and take them as you will.
Cheers
BR

Apple is stealing passwords since years !!!
The Password stealing program is calling "itunes" !!!! I'm wondering why nobody knows that !
p.s. sorry for my bad english

Wow people have got some imaginations but it is worth thinking about, we install everything at our own will so if something like this does occur during the line, we only have ourselves to blame but I trust the developers as iIve been using custom roms for a few years now and nothing like this has occurred

Oh dear, looks like you found out
Time to flee!
Of course that's a joke
If you're concerned about your account, thats perfectly fine.
The kernel source is out there so you can inspect it for yourself if there is anything suspicious
As for builds, you can check those by mounting the system.ext2 file in a linux O/S and inspecting those files too.
Hope that helps

Yeah that's also a key point although, me included in this, alot of members wont actually understand the kernal source code but we trust the developers, i see you posted the picture on the IRC Log lol

all kernel commits are reviewed on submit, and reverted if bad (only markinus and letama can directly commit anyway)
as for builds...use your own not that hard to get cm6 nightly and add the libs needed for leo (which you can build yourself from android source)

Believe me, your Google account is never safe...
'Project NAND' will soon be the greatest successful conspiracy since the 12 Monkeys

please xda fix my language problem

hello everybody >> How are you ??
I have updated my archos 101 IT to the firmawre 2.4.80 / android froyo 2.2.1
but unfortunately i still have bad arabic support .. which the letters still look not connected ..
for example :
wrong arabic : م ر ح ب ا
right arabic should be : مرحبا
I've contact the archos customer support but they didn't reply my issue
I'm sorry for that
any idea please to fix the letters issue ??
I were advised to make root for the machine but i dont know HOW
then I were advised to go the xda developers >> SO I'm here

And if you don't stop shouting no one will look again into your postings.
If no dev is interested in fixing this, then instead of crying, do it your self or find someone that can do it.

If my problem will solve by you or through you .. I don't need it
i feel that i'm the first one on the world post his problem in the dev site
Go away

any idea bro-s
is there anyone have this problem and fix it ??
from where i have to start

Did you ever read anything about Ettikette on the Net (Netiquete)?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette
Using big letters or complete Uppercase is considered Shouting and therefore shows the disrespect of the poster for the Comunity.
There have been more people for the last years all over the Android community ( not only for Archos ) that want this, but not one of the arabic developers has made a solution.
So don't blame others and use the solution that is there atm.

I have known that you are racist , a limited mind and conceited
do you say "etiquette" ??
But your behavior is far from etiquette !!
come to my etiquette school to learn you more about etiquette not just letters or complete Uppercase ....
I've problem >> post it >> you don't have answer SO ShUt Up
and your problem with arabian people solve it in the street not here
look nudy .. your mind is sick and you've to go to the doctor

This post shows who is a racist.
With your behavior i would assume that i probably have more arabic friends than you.

when you have a problem and you don't know how to start with
it's normal to share it with the professional people >>
after that someone who is crazy comes to say " do it yourself " instead of crying
i'm arabian and i proud for that
finally
**** you and **** your sister >> that's the best etiquette i should say it to you
i don't need help now

Problem solved!
But seriously, if you tried using the "search forum" button in the upper-right corner, you may have noticed the multitude of threads that dealt with this exact issue. And--lo and behold!--the most recent one actually has a solution. Now, you'll have to install the custom UrukDroid ROM (or, alternately, any root plus a little bit of elbow grease) to use this fix, but here you go. According to people with firsthand knowledge--that is, people who have an Archos, speak Arabic and have installed the fix--this seems to work. Your mileage may vary. In case you are having trouble following my directions, I have also included a link, because I think it's the polite thing to do.

y - polite it is master luke - but sometimes even this is NOT they way to go imho...
ok - the 1st fzelle post wasn't that helpfull and a hint for rooting would have been nice - but hes right with the shouting-thing...
But at 3rd or 6th i already asked myself what this guy wants... help or flamewar? Not to mention later ones... - some ppl just don't deserve the help... if they dont show the respect to others and the FORUM RULES
None of us here gets money for the "work" we do nor we are professionals - so imho ppl showing so much disrespect don't deserve ANYTHING then IGNORANCE
this thread reminds me of the "LENN DESTROYED MY DEVICE"-Thread

Whatever puerile prurience you have so crudely cast in my direction is certainly not worth the potential risks to my few surviving brain cells. If you have a problem with the fact that I have patiently given you the utmost of assistance and support in resolving your trivial, pedestrian quibbles then you should take it up with me after proving that you are capable of meaningful, coherent communication; to do this I would only ask that you give me a concise account of the transcendental unity of apperception, how Kant derived its existence, and how it relates to the separation between the noumenal and phenomenal worlds (no cheating). Otherwise, I bid you "Good Day, Sir!"

one by one please
i don't understand anything

Time to close this down - moderation awaited....
I hope u all know the "ignore list"...

[LOST AND FOUND!]Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
I've found Samsung Galaxy S III White in the bar at Budweis (Southern Bohemia, Czech Rep.) yesterday... So i've picked it up and decided to find its rightful owner... BUT...
It seems like some gipsy put a great effort in attepmt to bypass IMEI validation... the IMEI is blank (0049....) and so the serial number, the white sticker (don't know how to tell it in english ) behind battery is missing... wifi mac adress is apparently spoofed (vendor ID is Realtek, should be Samsung) similar story with bt mac... so i didn't went to police... they would take it from me and put it in the shelf forever...
If you know someone who was around budweis and lost or got stolen white SGSIII, pm me please... Albeit rendered unusable by some d**khead, you might contact samsung to fix your phone up, it might not be that much money compared to value of the phone...
Be prepared to answer few questions about the phone, i need a proof that you (or your friend who claims that the phone belongs to her/him) is rightful owner... (that's why i'm not posting photos here)
PS: if someone knows how to recover IMEI from totally blank EFS without backup (at least read it maybe it's printed on PCB or something...), i'm all ears, it might help a lot... The police should be able to find the owner using IMEI...

Found phone in a bar? Very cliche Maybe it's the s4 prototype?
Seriously, well done for being so righteous. There are not a lot of guys like you out there unfortunately.

It would be a deathwish to scream "hey i'm the one who stole ur phone from ur pocket! and then fcked it up hard cause i didn't know that even 3310 had IMEI and was rendered useless after theft! Come and punch me in mah face!"
The more likely is the story that someone thought that it's not hard nut to crack, then done his job on this poor hardware, gave up and decided to bury evidence by wiping it from fingerprints and leaving it somewhere where sooner or later anyone find it and will try similar approach as him...
Maybe my righteous behavior have origin in having Xperia S, which i personally love and would be mad as hell if something like this happened to me...

Nice to see there is some honor and decency left in this world, well done OP

Great idea but unfortunately the data partition was erased, possibly because SGS III as i've learned by browsing settings have some anti-theft functionality in it, and the person who stole it had pretty comprehensive knowledge about how android works, so wiping data was possibly one of the first things he has done... also the phone is obviously rooted and since it uses pretty much stock ROM (its not even deodexed...) it was possibly required to ruin it the way it is...
Maybe its not visible very well but does anyone have any idea where IMEI could be when mtp partition is wiped? The phone's warranty is screwed up as it doesnt have the sticker below battery so i'm willing to open if anyone is positive that it's written somewhere on ie. pcb but i personally doubt it cause i've never seen it before and would be very surprised to see it now so i don't even bother putting it apart as i might harm the poor device even more...

Try reading properly, she found it in a bar, and concluded it had been stolen and abandoned as the thief obviously couldn't get it to work, or tried and messed up.

Please, guys... maybe my english is not that brilliant, but i believe it's clearly stated
...and the person who stole it...
Click to expand...

As i've said, it was really messed up by some tard... dunno why he actually bothered removing that sticker below battery...

Why are you so sure the phone belongs to a person? The IMEI being 0049... and no sticker could point to it being a shop demo model, open the phone, look at the flash chip and see if there is a green or white sticker with the words PAP.

Impossible... shop demo models at least here in czech republic are allways units intended for sale by manufacturer... also they are perfectly secured and close to shop personnel in case that someone gets that fancy... we have a lot of thieves in czech republic unfortunately... but i'll try to put it apart in case i find something useful...
edit: no such sticker (or any sticker at all) found,,, reassembled...

Who knows the location of the S/N in the FTM?Easy change IMEI and S/N

I flashed ULM-PIE with chiperase mode,then I lose my IMEI and S/N
It is not a big problem.all the data is in the FTM,
I just need adb shell - su - and dd of to sdcard
then modified the ftm.img with ultra edit ,
finally,dd of the img back. done
But when I actually did it, I found that the location of S/N wasn't the same as that of V30,
IMEI's location is 00e00040h~50h,start at 5

hello
my ftm.img is erased on my v35
can you share your bacup in pm?

I did exactly the same as you did, i used chiperase and I lost my IMEI and my S / N, fortunately I managed to recover my S / N but my IMEI not. What positions of FTM.bin did you edit to restore your IMEI?
Edit1: I just saw you put the information. I will try to restore the IMEI.
Edit2: edit the file in the block position you indicated, reboot my device and my IMEI is "0".
To verify that the FTM file was copied correctly, I extracted it again from the phone memory and to my surprise, the block where the IMEI number is found is again at "0".
Do you have any idea what might be going on?
Could you please put the entire command to read and write the FTM?

Will you people stop using Chip Erase! It's in the warnings in many places not to do that.
It's an all my guides and I know @cmrntnnr put it in his.

Im sorry, I appreciate your concern but at this time I am not looking for a scolding I am looking for a solution, so I will go from your comment.
There are reasons why chiperase is used, the option for something is there. You can learn more at 4pda. Regards

I know what Chip Erase for. I don't need to go to a Russian hacking forum. If that site has so much information, go ask them. Why you coming to XDA for help?
As I said in my warning, you mess with it then you get someone else to help you.
My post was to warn others not to do what you did. Many people get into LGUP and just start pressing buttons. Unless you know how to recover from your disaster don't touch Chip Erase.

You do not own XDA sir, you cannot tell me not to come here to make an inquiry. I sent you to another forum because apparently your knowledge is limited to simply saying not to use chiperase to avoid losing the IMEI. On the other hand, assuming that you know more than I why you advise me not to use a warmer is very daring of you. And no, not only is chiperase used for 2 things.
In XDA I have read several comments of yours and I see that you like to start discussions for obvious reasons. When you ask a question, I don't understand why someone has to answer with another question "why did you do it?", Does that solve the problem? I clarify that the subject of this publication is of interest to me, why do you come here to tell me to go somewhere else to ask?
Sorry, but I don't know what it is. At no time am I promoting piracy, I clarify it because that word came out of your mouth.

You do not own XDA sir, you cannot tell me not to come here to make an inquiry. I sent you to another forum because apparently your knowledge is limited to simply saying not to use chiperase to avoid losing the IMEI. On the other hand, assuming that you know more than I why you advise me not to use a warmer is very daring of you. And no, not only is chiperase used for 2 things.
In XDA I have read several comments of yours and I see that you like to start discussions for obvious reasons. When you ask a question, I don't understand why someone has to answer with another question "why did you do it?", Does that solve the problem? I clarify that the subject of this publication is of interest to me, why do you come here to tell me to go somewhere else to ask?
Sorry, but I don't know what it is. At no time am I promoting piracy, I clarify it because that word came out of your mouth.

I did not ask why you did it. So you are wrong in stating that.
I also never used the word piracy. It never came out if my mouth.
However, since you brought up the subject, I'm sure know Chip Erase is often used to launder stolen phones. That's a frequent reason people would purposefully erase IMEI and serial number to replace with another. That's NOT why it's in LGUP -- but that is a usage. And no, I'm not accusing you of being a thief.
Others use it to avoid paying high import taxes on their phones. But usually it's the "professional" dealer who does that in those country, not the "amateur" buyer.
In all my guides about bootloader unlock and cross flashing LG firmware, I've never seen a valid reason to use Chip Erase (for those specific functions).
There are other reasons a professional cell repair people would use Chip Erase -- but those professionals also know how to recover from it.
It's a very powerful "destructive" tool -- much like how dynamite is sometimes used in construction. I am merely warning others not to do as you did and screw up your phone. There's too many people using it and not knowing how destructive it can be.
Over in the V30 forum some people have claimed in other forums advanced users have advised them to use it, then the victims come here to XDA asking for help. So, whoever told to to use it at that Russian site, I was telling you they should also help you.

If you've read a lot of my comments, then you know I've helped thousands of people, and I've been thanked for it. If I feel like commenting on something or explaining something that will help others, I will.

It was never my intention to start a discussion, I see that neither is yours. I will end the discussion here so as not to distort the purpose of this post. Regards
