[Q] Serve.me

Anyone know how to delete the Serve.me app that came reinstalled on the phone? I used Titainium Backup to uninstall it but it doesn't work.

Never heard of it. Is your phone rooted?

It's rooted. The Serve.Me app is in French. I found a Youtube video testing the app but I can't post external link. Just search for "Serve.Me John Paul" if you're interested.

I have never heard of this, however it could suggest that the phone is branded, perhaps debrand to get rid. I had an app called traffic tv that i just couldnt get rid of, once i debranded it disappeared no problem. It also means that the delayed 2.1 update will be available before your operator adds their "features"

With RootExplorer have a look in data/app-private and if there is an apk in there of it delete that too, and from data/app also.

I believe that app is installed in the generic french firmware.
I got rid of it by replacing the generic french firmware with uk generic.

How do I find out if my phone is branded and for what market? Sorry for the newbie question. I'm new to this forum.

Where did you get it from.

At a local store here in the US. I was told it's an oversea phone but didn't mention where.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

with the lock screen visible.. press the following key combo..
Menu back back menu Back Menu menu back
This will give you a service menu... select "service info" then "Model info"
That will tell you the phone model, country, and brand.

Thanks. It states country is France and brand customized FR.
So i guess that mean its branded?
Is there a customized firmware for north america? I saw the debrand thread but there are too many files.
Not sure which to get.

Can't say it better... Anyway, you can dowload the app from his server.

If this is out of the equation for the time being is the only option to pay for an unlock code online? If so what are the recommended sites, as I have been ripped off before.

It is very likely you could pay your operator to unlock it. About sites, I never used one so I won't recommend anything.
If you aren't in LG8 or LG6 firmwares you can still use Voodoo Unlock app from supercurio website: project-voodoo.org

I'm on xLite 1.4.0 XXLH1. I got my phone from Phones4U (UK) and I'm on Orange (UK) when I tried to sim unlock it gives me an error code when I try use x#XXXX# commands. Now when I swap it for my simcard with T-Mobile (UK) I can make calls etc but in my STATUS in ABOUT PHONE it doesn't display my phone number, it just displays 00000000000 and on the Orange it does display the number.
So really it is unlocked but not fully unlocked? I know you can't really get half and half but it seems like it in this case. I haven't tried the manual way of unlocking but I will at one point, just want advice.
---------
Edit: Just noticed that my firmware is higher than most. Will degrade and try app again but will still check back and follow advice from you all!

Unable to flash, might be locked bootloader - U8800pro

Hei guys!
I first got a U8800, but there was a voltage problem with the phone and I had to return it. The store's authorized service center sent me a U8800Pro in return. The phone is shipped with Build number: U8800PV100R001C00B042, and I've never seen a ROM from Huawei listet with B042.
The problem is that I can't upgrade from Android 2.2.2 to the offical ROMs from Huawei. It just says "update failed" and a yellow warning triangle appears on the screen.
The 2.2.2 doesn't really work with my phone. Wi-fi and general performance is laggy and slow. Well, wi-fi doesn't work at all (needs 10 mins to download a 600KB file :S, but 3G works well thought").
I've been in contact with the service center but they don't really know what to do. They sent me a guide to unlock the bootloader but fastboot on the PC won't recognize the phone when in pink screen or boot loader screen. There is no "power" option in the "Settings"-menu so can't disable the fastboot option there.
I've searched every forum possible and I've got the proper USB-drivers etc etc etc
Does anybody know what to do?
Cheers
Aleksander

Send it back in maby? If something doesn't work you should be able to get a new one again if they can't fix it.

I had the same thought myself, but I don't think the phone is broken. Had to wait four months to get the U8800pro-replacement-phone so I'm postponing it for as long as I can.
Has anyone heard of the B042 ROM or at least how I can use fastboot to unlock it?

If you can't update it I'd say that's broken for me, especially if they don't know how to fix it either. And shouldn't you be able to complain on getting back another phone model than you sent in?
About the other stuff I have no idea, sorry.

I know you have to upgrade to 2.3 before 4.0, but the phone won't allow me to upgrade to 2.3, or any other ROM for that sake. Thanks though

Flash 3.22.1540.1 official RUU on International HTC One
Just to let others to know, I flashed the RUU (downloaded from HTCDev) without problems on a International (European/UK) HTC One without having to restore the stock recovery or lock the bootloader. But I already had S-Off & Super CID (did not change the MID).
Note: Flashing the RUU will wipe everything, even storage content (pictures and all).

[Q] Messed up my phone, return to stock?

Hello XDA.
I have a:
Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (IT'S EITHER A BELL/ROGERS PHONE)
BASEBAND VERSION: I1337MVLUAMDJ
KERNAL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758 [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER: K0T49H.1337MVLUFNE1
The problem is, I had rooted my phone long time ago and wanted to recently unroot and update to the latest KitKat version (I was on jellybean). It would not let be update because it said the device was modified or something of that sort. I tried to unroot by following a tutorial online and flashing with a stock rom.
I did exactly as it says but now my phone is totally messed up. My Wifi no longer works, the apps keep crashing and nothing is working like its suppose too. I do not know what to do to fix this. How do I return my phone back to factory settings as if it is brand new? I have tried flashing stock roms 3 times new (3 different ones using ODIN) and nothing seems to work. I have tried samsung kies and it is still doing the same thing!
Please help.

No, it would not be the case. Odin flashes the entire firmware, kernel and all. Sammobile is an official site for the firmware so if it doesn't work you might have a hardware issue. But wait for the download.

Odin flashes everything back to stock, like new. Try the mk6 version of the firmware.

Not sure what else to tell you. If Odin isn't working you may have a hardware issue. Odin should return engaguing to like new. The only thing I can think of is you have an issue with the emmc memory, which isn't good.
