So I've been trying to get this thing unlocked all day, finally gave up, and decided to come here to ask for help. I have zero experience with Android and Samsung tablets in general. I got an SMT510 for $30 from a store that mostly sells returned merchandise from big retailers like Target. Of course when I get the thing home it's pattern locked. I factory reset the whole thing and I'm now running into a wall with the Google factory reset protection. So I've watched tons of youtube videos, most of which just have royalty free music blasting with zero instructions. I couldn't ever find a video for my model though but I figure it's basically the same thing. I downloaded some firmware files (I'll post pics) and ran those successfully in Odin. Then when I tried to do the combination file I get an error. I've tried like 4 different combination files downloaded from various shady sites and get the same FAIL result everytime. Is there another way to get around this FRP or am I out $30? I'm going insane.

You appear to have done the right thing. Don't know why it didn't work. But I'd be willing to pay $30 plus shipping just to have it to play with.:laugh:

It's pissing me off so much. I think my problem is the combination files I'm finding are garbage. When I do give up I'll let you know if you really want to buy it.

Not related to your issue, just wondering what's the name of the store you got it from?

Hi everyone, I am new to the t mobile community and I was looking on good ol ebay for a G1 without a contract. At that point my search threw back this in the query. I was quick to call b.s and all that so ofcourse i didn't buy it, but I just want to ask you all what in the hell is this. Has anyone out there bought it or had any experience with this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230319434420

Just some cheap "iClone" phones from China. Check your local craigslist- people cant seem to get rid of them fast enough once they get duped into buying them
Alright, In the first link the bid has ended so i cannot help you there. NOW In the second, It's a piece of hardware that may be fake, For Example, My cousin bought a phone like that about 2 months back from ofcourse good ol' Ebay, And what was it, A Japanese phone that looked just like the Iphone, It streamed TV had an antenna for when we made the switch on cable and antennas would be dead. It had like an 8 megapixel camera, Beautiful sweet deal for a smackin' $200 bucks. SO he went ahead and bought it. When it arrived it was the phone, or more exact the model, Which weight no more than a stack of papers, It didnt turn on, NOTHING. He decided to use a flathead screw driver to open it up, and what he found was that the phone had nothing inside, Literally, Nothing but sand, To make the phone weigh. So from me to you. Don't buy it. Skip it. Go to T-mobile and get the G1. lol But that was just 1 experience never know.
damn what a shame. Hopefully the people who are winning these ebay auctions don't get a box of sand shipped to them as well. I just did some reseach on meizu, they seem to be the company that is producing this stuff. Maybe its good enough for china, but I sure as hell am not taking a chance with it.
Those phones are real (not sure about the eBay one, but Deal Extreme and others sell the iClones) but they are very low quality. They also sell a ton of Nokia clones.

Those phone don't even look like the G1. DA.
Lol... that second one has got SIX speakers!! Must be goood... hehe
Haha
I bought one of these a couple mounths ago they are useless without the stylus and no where near as good as any phone made recently but if all you got is 150 and u need it unlocked then this pos is for you lol...
Edit: this thing does internet movies music and my favorite was the web cam mine had it does a few things but it doesn't do any all that good
These phones do have uses. A lot of these Chinese knock-offs are bought by people needing unlocked phones and multi-SIM capability. In Europe, for example, there are many more carriers over much shorter distances than in the US. Also, the practice (law?) there is caller-pays-all. Incoming calls don't cost anything. Outgoing calls cost your rate plus the rate of the person you're calling, making having multiple SIM cards for different countries more economical. Many of these phones have gimmick features like TV reception, but all come with clunky, proprietary operating systems. Finding good, useful applications will be a constant source of frustration for someone looking for a way to complement his 10mm CZ "diamond" stud in his ear.
I was so excited when I got the email saying that the SlingPlayer for Android is released. So I checked the Market and ... well it's not there.
My other friend's stocked Evo already purchased and installed SlingPlayer but I just can't seem to find it no matter what in Market.
I read somewhere that it was because the Market checks the OS build and such to make sure it's okay for that platform.
Anybody has any ideas?
P.S. I have mine fully rooted.

Well mine is the stock ROM that the full root supplied, with a "test key" after the build number.
Not sure if that's the cause or what but I guess if I really don't have no choice but to use a leaked APK then... meh.
Any ideas?

The quality is actually pretty bad. I have the HD sling, hooked up via component cables. Basically, there are no options to adjust any quality settings. This is what it looks like at home over wifi. And yes, I pulled my cablemodem power to make sure it was actually using the in house wifi.
Source is a 1080i image that looks awesome over my 5mb up connection, on my PC. On the phone, just barely worth watching at arms lenght.
Note the graininess on 1 & 2, and the TERRIBLE aliasing (jaggies) on 3.
Not worth $30, to me.
Well thanks guys, but I end up finding it somewhere the lights don't shine.
It looks okay with my Solo over Component at 720p.
Beats the heck out of the Touch Pro 2 though!

right..you're suppose to replace that 'test' ROM with a rooted ROM so the market works etc.

Where'd you find it?
First of all I'm from the UK
So I have had my phone since January 21st and its been fine.
Past few days its been getting really, really HOT! I know some people exaggerate about over heating problems but I couldn't even hold the phone. I was scared that it was going to explode. It took about 15 minutes to cool down once i had turned it off and it has happened about 4 times in the past two days.
I have looked on Googles return/ replacement policies but i'm a little confused. I don't know if its changed within the last day but i looked it up on my phone and it said they have a 24/7 help line that i can call. I have now looked it up on my desktop and the options have changed and it tells me i have to go through LG.
Does anyone have that number? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Is there a chance i can get a brand new replacement from Google or LG? or would it just be a repair?
Thank you.

If you bought it from the Play store, you go through google. If you bought it somewhere else, you need to speak with your provider or LG directly. Phone numbers can be found on their websites.

Ah, sorry mate. Good luck to ya. For me I sprung for the 10 dollar a month warranty from T-Mobile in the US. Just had mine replaced for charging issues and the buzzing in the speaker got worse.

Got a reply from Google within 10minutes..
They said I have to go through the trouble shooting stage basically. factory reset etc and if it still happens they will send me a replacement!
Should I just lie and say iv already done it when it first happened and it continued to over heat a couple more times or should i just wait it out a few days do what they say and contact them then?

That's your call. Only you know how your device has been acting :/ (First hand I mean)
Just got my new one. Its a 304k. Screen is a little dimmer which I don't care about.. But the gyroscope isn't working within apps. Like the camera, chrome, messaging etc.
I've downloaded an actual gyroscope and that works. Also factory reset the phone still the same.
Just sent Google an email about it.. Waiting for reply.
Why me ?
Edit... I fixed it by putting my sim card in lol.
Yeah so I dont know if their customer service are really as stupid as they act or if they nust want to get on my nerves. I contacted paypal now. Screenshots in the description.

I'm impressed. I wouldn't dignify your capslock message with a response to be frank.
No,its not just the normal ghost touches. sometimes my touchscreen shuts down completely. Trust me,i read the forum.
If you waited 3 weeks for this anwsers,even tho the question they asked was clarified weeks ago,you would also be mad and write in capslock.
Wow LOL. Its almost as if its some sort of robot they have that responds to emails.. Pathetic. Just go straight to PayPal bro.
Honestly I don't think full on caps with exclamation marks will speed up your RMA any faster...
in fact, it ALMOST seems like customer service was dicking you around for the fun of it..:laugh:
I'm experiencing the same issue, already sent email and submitted RMA . Got one response only to advise I factory reset which I have done. If this goes sour, how long is eBay's or PayPal's fraud protection as I might have to go that route as well...

Don't wait, contest the charges because of a defective product right now with Paypal, problem solved , ok almost solved you are still stuck with a broken phone but at least you will get your money back.
If i remember correctly it's 45 days for Paypal.
Yeah that pretty much sucks. I guess that is what happens when the company and customer service are from China. I sure hope my phone has no issues really makes me think twice about the phone. Probably would not buy another unless they get this all sorted out.
My phone had the same issues. Ghost touches really bad and sometimes the touch screen would just stop responding altogether. The only way to fix it was to hold the power button and reboot the phone.
Today CM merged the firmware update from synaptic and Franco merged it into his newest kernel. I flashed it about 4 hours ago and no longer have any of the issues. I was even out in the sun earlier and that's when I had a lot worse problems when the phone was warm. I honestly think your problem is just the touchscreen firmware just like mine. I'd give Franco's kernel a try and see if it fixes your problem.
So just tell them you contact paypal. Im getting my replacement now.
Support Tickets
I don't know how you even got them to respond. I've put in three different Support ticket (starting on 8/31) and followed them up with at least 5 different emails, messaged almost all the mod's on the forums and have yet to receive ANY kind of response!!!!
Wow. I was thinking they were going to have really bad customer support, but now I'm amazed at how patient they were with you.
How is it that so many people are able to replicate the ghost swipes easily and put it up on youtube but you can't be bothered to?
Not to mention the fact that you haven't been bothered enough to check that there is a fix coming and waiting till then to check before saying it's a hardware bug.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdxfKh9NLQQ
works every time.
remember the first time you do this you have to stay on the wifi screen for at least 1 hour for it to work.
once you have bypassed this once you never have to wait on subsequent reboots and all your settings and history are saved.

Correct but I believe there is a 3 day wait until you can log back in.
However, a lot of the time people buy second hand phones and the seller has not signed out, making this the only remaining option.
This literally makes it pointless to have this security as it can be bypassed anyway, this is why I don't bother having it on in the first place.

Ah, I see. I would just wait instead of having to use this hacky workaround that barely works but some might need to be able to be contacted 24/7.
That's why you always, always, ALWAYS go through the phone when buying it off Craigslist or something.
