3 when i call some one, sounds is really really really really distorted or somtimes the phone just crashes?
so whats the problem?
how much to get em both fixed?
can i do it myself
You possible have damaged the actual pcb of the hd2. Your only luck is getting it a an authorized repair shop or to RMA it.
Wish I could remember where I saw it. But there's a site out there that has teardowns of a bunch of phones

I don't know how much it costs, but I believe you have to send it to htc, not t-mobile. just call (from a land-line) and ask how much it costs.

Agreed.
He is simply one of these XDA n00bs who comes here with the false impression that XDA is tech support for their manufacturers device. This is blatant from his title where we are "letting him down" if we do not answer.

This coming from someone who uses Mobily, I thought you would understand and be a little helpful having dealt with Mobily customer service.
Oh wait, Mobily..customer..service, that is an oxymoron.
There SubZeroMaster, another post, are we lettin you down still?
Hello and Hatss Off to all the Developers who share their Work with XDA community. I am using SGS II from sept 2011. That time, when i bought SGS II, i got GT-I9100 bt my nephew accidentally splashed water to my phone so it got malfunctioned. i gave it to service centre guys they changed the Motherboard ( charged me for it) and gave it to me in running condition bt i still use to feel sm problems with it, so i Sold it.
Now i bought a New SGS II and now this time its I9100 G. I9100 is no more available in India.
I have a habit of experimenting and flashing different ROMS on my phone but there is no development for I9100 G( except for one SuperRom ). Nd one cant use stock ROM after using Awesome Roms cooked by amazing DEVS present here ( Spl mention to Darky, CHeckrom, Speedmod Kernel, Dark Knight nd SiyahKernel).
I request The DEVS in whose country I9100G is available to please start their work on I9100G also. Its too hard to tolerate the stock Roms nd Kernels.
Spl request to GadgetCheck, He being Indian and can easily find I9100G and cook a Rom coz he is undoubtedly a master in this.
If you want a dev to work on your phone, I'd suggest you help out interested devs purchasing one... Why would they buy a new phone just to make ROMs for others? No offense!
Yeah, just because a device may be available doesn't mean that a dev is just going to go out and buy it.
Some devices are, unfortunately, so frustrating that you couldn't even get a dev to spend their time on it for free. Being OMAP-based, the G might not fit in this category - but that's why the T-Mobile T989 and AT&T Skyrocket (SGH-I727) communities are so small. As an example - even if someone offered a free Skyrocket I wouldn't touch it - I'm busy enough with the I777 and Galaxy Player as it is, that my other non-phone hobbies have suffered.
Also many developers won't do it, as a point of principle.
If you want development, buy the unbranded, EU, international model. If you cannot get one, order it on import, and just accept you have to pay customs duty etc...
Then you have the better, unclipped version (removing Exynos is crippling it).
Yes, this costs more. But it costs less than it would cost you to buy an I9100G for every developer (I presume since you were telling people to buy them, you are happy to pay for all these devices yourself?)
No Offence to the above posts but i mentioned in my previous post by making reference to those DEVS in whose countries, i9100G is available. Nd wat i forgot to mention was Those DEVS who already owe one or planning to buy one.
My bad I appologise.

I think you will find for the reasons already posted even Devs in those countries did not buy a G model and those that did can not be bothered to develop for a crippled phone .

Yes, but it's not his entitlement. It's hardly reasonable to ask a developer to do something, just because you want it, when it is at the extent of buying a new device...
Those people who ended up with a pink elephant (G model) could instead look at the differences between their device, and the regular one. They could then perhaps identify the reason why flashing the wrong rom gives a brick.
(hint, omap versus Exynos)
At that point they could look at porting the userland android core from a custom regular rom onto this device...
As long as you don't flash an I9100 kernel, and you ensure that any binaries in not going to do anything dangerous, you can probably get it running.
Maybe it will work? Maybe not... I don't know, but it's what I would do if I was in the position... The above comes unwarranted, and if it bricks your phone, you probably did something wrong. Try at your peril...
The poor guy just made a request...he didnt order or demand...especially the ones who r going all negative here...it was better for them to ignore the thread or is the prospect of insulting a random user for no reason too irresistible?? anyone who can work on G version will do so otherwise thread will go ignored...its that simple.

You should have paid attention to the warnings in the "unlock for free" thread. This has happened to many people and I have yet to see a solution.

Cellunlocker.net has a system to reset sim code deactivation, but from what I have seen it isn't working for people that lost ability to unlock because of the "free unlock" method. You could still contact them and ask about it. It does cost a little extra.

There are three things wrong with your inferior attempt at an insult:
1. WTF is there to read? This thread just started its second page, so telling me that I am not reading first is stupid on your part.
2. I have zero issues with this method. I cannot speak for anyone else who doesn't know what they are doing.
3. I am pretty sure you have never seen a cow fly, or a pig file taxes, or in your case how people like yourself end up when treating the wrong person with disrespect.
Try being considerate when posting. If it doesn't have anything to do with fixing the OP's issue, don't post ridiculous crap. If you were trying to hurt my feelings, you didn't.
I have had an active account with xda for a while now, but its people like you who are immature and rude that keep me from posting.
I'm going to get back to my life now, so don't bother posting a reply because I won't waste my time reading it. If there were so many problems with my suggestion, try being more tactful in what you say.

Well said good sir! I've used the free method for a few of my friends phones and on my s3 and now s4 with zero issues. With how many videos and guides there are on how to do this it SHOULD be idiotproof, you should only get issues when you don't pay attention.
soluction
sometime s4 does not accept code directly ...i had same problem and unlocked it from local shop using flashing device z3x
so goto local mobile shop or get your own device and ucart c3300k cable :good::good::good::good:

You missed where the op said he already did this and how this is what caused the code to not work.
Hi,
I've just got this phone today and i'm actually quite impressed with it, my last Sammy was an S3, i've had HTC and Sony ever since, I go the gear fit with my phone too which works quite well too.
One thing i'd like to know, is there a way to root the device so that it can be unrooted and no one will tell, not even samsung, I don't care for a custom rom i'd just like to be able to use a few mods.
Plus will the gear fit still work with the device if it's rooted ???
Many thanks

Yes.
My question to you in turn would be why, after 3,597 posts, you don't try searching the forum first before posting a question? Or peruse a few threads at the top, either of which would have readily answered such a common query.
.
Christ my first post and I'm shot down in flames.. to answer your question I was in work and extremely busy. I had no time and a lot on. Thought I'd come home to a welcome to the s5 forum. Obviously I was wrong. Thanks for answering..
If i could offer some advice, perhaps you could practice not saying things like that to people, q and a is for questions and answers, it isn't an excuse to act like a ****.
Close this thread please mod.
I literally give up on xda.

Wow you are pathetic, do me a favour and never answer any of my posts.
First of all ill explain a little deeper as regards to my question as you obviously didn't get my point.
Q1) is there a root method that is reversable without losing warranty or anyone knowing about it namely Samsung?
Secondly does rooting mess with the gear fit..
Thirdly, why do you have little man syndrome? Is it because you are a little man? No reason to take it out on me, I was polite and courteous to whomever answered me but your response is both rude and uncouth, not to mention presumptuous. I think you should quit while you are ahead, my question was bespoke, you need to but out and stop typing.. bottom line here is that you wouldn't be talking to me like this if I was speaking to you face to face. For that reason alone, I suggest you don't reply..

stop hating and flaming my friend , it might be misunderstanding.
and about the root thing, yes there is a way and its an app called towelroot , you can download it from the site towelroot.com/tr
and about the gear fit thing I dont know because I dont have one but I dont think that if you root your phone it will mess with it.
anyway if anything goes wrong you can always unroot with SuperSu app
hope that I helped

That's very true, different cultures clashing sometimes causes issues like that whereas one won't see any problem with saying something in a particular way but it wasn't that, I've literally just got the device, didn't want a slanging match, just wanted a bit of advice, if someone knew then it'd be a lot less hassle to just say it rather than attempt to police the forum.
There's nearly 6 million users on XDA and that's registered users, even if a sixth of those people repeatedly ask questions by the time you've told each and every single one of them that they should search first, you'd more than likely have aged 20 years.
As for the original question, I ended up rooting using towel root, the gear fit still works as expected so all is well, many thanks for all the input, it's appreciated. And lol don't worry i'll be searching in the future, was just very rushed at the time and had a lot going on.
Cheers
