I eventually fixed it using adb following a set of unbricking instructions on XDA. Sorry for not updating the thread.

I've been using the stock rom on my phone for years, until after one update my wifi went incredibly choppy, so I tried rooting and LineageOS but experienced lots of other issues, so I reverted to the original stock rom. I've stuck with 6.0 for over a year, unrooted, unspoilt, but I was...

I use my X96 Mini plugged into a spare USB port on my TV without any additional power. I don't know for certain but I think the USB port on the TV is a standard USB2.0 outputting at 5V 500ma. The X96 Mini can handle any USB stick I've got without fail, but 2.5" portable HDD's don't work without...

There's lots of discussion board threads about IR transmitter AUX adapters (IR Blasters), but for some reason I can find barely any mention of IR Receivers using the AUX mic input on my phone. My phone has a TRRS AUX input and I have a 3.5mm TRS IR receiver. I bodged together a TRRS to TRS...

I've just installed LibreELEC on an SDCard and am booting from that now. It runs in full 1080p, 1080p HEVC videos look great and run very smoothly. CPU and GPU are getting pretty hot mind, but apart from a slight bit of bottlenecking in the menus (I think due to a crumby SD Card) everything...

Really? I've read accounts of people running 30fps 1080p h265 encoded video without an issue. Are you saying this is not possible? Every ad or description for the box states otherwise.

I've just been trying this out on my x96 Mini, and just like the original stock firmware and the Tx3 firmware, everything appears to be in 720p. When I go to the android settings, it says 1920x1080, however every app seems to run in 720p. Kodi is the only one I can verify, as it shows this in...

Thanks!

500 MB, when it should be 580MB. I'm using Chrome btw.

Every rar I've downloaded upon extraction says: Checksum error in ATVXperience-vxx.img. The file is corrupt Unexpected end of archive I've used 7Zip and WinRar and I've tried downloading multiple times, checksums are identical. There's an issue on your end I think.

Yup, I've noticed that too.

I installed lineage for the first time about a week ago so I've got a different build, but battery life for my moto 4g depletes waaay faster than my stock ROM. It's terrible, barely get a day's usage from a single charge. Also noticed it getting quite hot in my pocket when not in use. Will be...

I should mention that setting the preferred network type on the *#*#4636#*#* menu does nothing for me, and will quickly revert to LTE/GSM Auto (PRL) Since I lost the ability to make or receive calls, I have not noticed a flicker of life of the radio transceiver. On the same menu mentioned above...

No matter what I do - tried every option from *#*#4636#*#* (among other things) - I only get 3G and 4G show as options for my network type, so I can't even try this :/

I had this problem a few months ago with my XT1039. All the same symptoms. Eventually I managed to get it working after enough tinkering. I don't even remember what it was that got it working again, but I did plenty of flashing, wiping, rebooting etc. It then worked perfectly for another 6...

I can't find anyone else with this problem. I bought a 128GB USB 3.0 stick for my phone so I had access to loads of my music at all times. If it's being used (ie, playing music continuously) then it seems to work fine, but after around 5 mins, as soon as it gets a chance (like the end of a...

Hi. A few weeks ago I bought a 128GB usb 3.0 stick with fairly decent read/write speeds. I put ~60GB of music and I regularly use it while driving to listen to music through the car stereo. Unfortunately, every few minutes (sometimes twice a minute, sometimes not for 10 minutes or so) it'll have...

Nope. The bluetooth module works. £4.

bah. I must bear the idea of using a power supply for my arduino instead of my trusty ace plus. oh well, hope the bluetooth works!

Link doesn't work, found it here though: http://www.sharemobile.ro/share/117241/snapdragon-specs.pdf Some of the other chipsets in the USB column say: USB 2.0 High Speed OTG (480Mbps) What's the diff? Alright, how do I enable it on my GT S7500? Please don't direct me into bricking my phone...

I bought a very cheap BT module from china - £3.99! Hopefully that should do the trick.. but it means the arduino needs a power supply, which requires either a **** load of AAs or a ****ty 9v battery. The Ace Plus's chipset is "Qualcomm MSM7227A" I've tried googling it with USB Host but I get...

Is there ANY way of communicating between my newly purchased arduino and my Galaxy Ace Plus? It does not support USB Host Mode. Can this be changed some how? I really need the 2 to communicate for a personal project. I've ordered lots of stuff on the basis that this would work. And now I've...

Monkey. It worked! I saw the samsung logo instead of my virgin logo and that made me happy :) Then I saw what looked like hebrew glyphs and became worried. But then I changed the language and everything works fine :) Thanks!

Sorry, I don't like / trust custom firmware. I don't believe it's impossible to acquire a brandless firmware. I've seen them! (as in I've seen a sim-free Galaxy Ace Plus which is un branded with Virgin, Vodafone etc.) I will try installing the firmware suggested by monkeywithbanana. I don't...

I appreciate the response, but that doesn't help me at all. What I'm asking is simple. VIR, VOD, BTU, VOP Vir = Virgin, Vod = Vodafone, BTU = ?, VOP = ? Is BTU brand-free firmware? Is VOP brand-free firmware? That's all I need to know. If the answer to those 2 questions is no, then I need...

I have a Galaxy Ace Plus, GT S7500, and the rest of the details: Android: 2.3.6 Baseband: S7500XXLC3 Kernel: 2.6.38.6 Build #: GINGERBREAD.XXLC3 Currently, the firmware is filled with Virgin Mobile crap, I want to install a stock rom that is BRANDLESS. I went through all the steps yesterday...

If it doesnt have VIR on the end it has VOD or BTU or VOP So which one do I pick, genius? :p Also where it says Country/Carrier, it just says United Kingdom, not United Kingdom/Vodafone like it should.

For ****s sake!! I never got a reply so I went ahead and flashed the S7500XXLC3_S7500VIRLC2_VIR firmware that I got from sammobile.com My phone has baseband s7500XXLC3, so that's the one I chose. And after all of that (flashing, factory reset and cache reset, losing all my data), I discover...

I went to sammobile and searched, but I don't know which one to choose, that was what I meant by "what's the most recent firmware" http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-S7500&pcode=VIR&os=1&type=1#firmware I have the choice of country and carrier. There is several UK ones: BTU...

Hi dxppxd. Thanks. However, I need more info here. Imagine you're talking to a clever dog that can understand basic human speech, or imagine you're speaking to a stupid person. You choose. I just need you to explain it to me. - For GT-S7500 I use Odin 1.85, yes? - Do I need an ops file? In the...

I bricked my phone last time I tried to do this, so I need very precise instructions on how to get rid of the incredibly annoying branding that's all over my phone. There are so many apps that come pre-installed that I can't uninstall, and along with that every time i turn it on I'm forced to...

I finally received the phone back, fully repaired. No reply to my letters though. Now what do I do? I have my phone back, but they took over a month and put me through all this ****. I'm quite angry about all of this and still think I deserve some compensation.

Wednesday. Same as above. I'm now expecting that my phone will not be sent back, possibly due to my tampering. I've sent 2 identical letters (addressed to the Customer Service Manager, Samsung Electronics and Samsung Electronics Costumer Service Centre) and I've yet to receive a phone call...

It's Monday, I haven't received a repaired phone, I haven't got a phone call, I haven't received a written reply. Nothing. I hate this.

Just got a phone call this morning. I should have my phone back before the end of the week. This sucks. I bet they're not going to acknowledge my letter and I'm just gonna have to let all this **** go.

I'm pissed off. Here's why: I've just posted an extremely detailed letter explaining everything, along with copies of emails, pictures, screenshots, etc. It took ages to write and compile all of this together. I showed it to my Dad (who is well educated on legal matters such as this) and he...

It might be a stretch... but not as much as a stretch as you suggest. I've just checked and the price difference is actually about £270. I could argue that the trouble this has caused is about £270... Maybe? I'll be phoning up the call centre at around 2 PM, explaining all this crap once again...

My objective is not to get a Samsung Galaxy S III per se, but my thought was that I deserve not just my phone back but a little compensation. And I feel like it might be a stretch to ask for straight up money. So what could I realistically ask for? A superior phone. S III was the first that came...

That's just the kind of advice I was looking for. Thanks Angewg, your help is very much appreciated :)

Okay, I get the overwhelming impression that you all think I should sue them... I have never sued anybody, neither have I tried. I imagine it's a little easier said than done :) In the past though, I have found that the threat of legal action from similar situations gets results. Shall I just...

Arses. If it's wrong then really, wtf Samsung!!! I knew it looked weird... damn it. I've seen a sorting office, and I know they do a very good job of finding the correct address if it is incorrectly written/illegible... But if the address doesn't even crop up on Google, then it can't be an...

So I've now sent it back. But there was a slight problem, or seemingly so. In the email, it said this: So, I did the above option, I just put FREEPOST SAMANREP on the envelope. This seemed strange to me at the time. When I took it to the post office, the lady behind the window looked at it...

It's been sent back. Probably should have tried a jig first... but I figured I MIGHT get a replacement unlocked phone if I sent it back and it was beyond repair. ...Or, they might find out I tampered with it in a bad way, black list me, send back the phone and give me a firm slap on the wrist...

ajay8055, I'm trusting you... Because you're the only person who replied. Let's see what happens. Off to the post office now.
