FAQ
is free?
====While WOTANSERVER servers are FREE not require payment.
Why German version?
==== This german version not blocked for ota update without pc, if you use the 181.global.generic , update say : use a pc for update.... > (loose root )
Not detect the phone
==== Reinstall SEUS or PC COMANION drivers
NO internet connects me to update OTA / MARKET
==== Look WIFI / APN configuration
NOT updated by the OTA me and asks me to update with PC ....
==== bad thing, the reason is that Sony has locked rom upgrade from that we have, which is recommended to try another rom of the generic trade 2.3.2.
Errors while the file downloads / flashes
==== Most likely, your connection or your pc is bad , pc changes in principle works.
I can remove the applications installed?
==== The GINGERBREAK YES , SUPERUSER NO. The first has completed its mission but the second is the need to manage the applications you have access to root.
What do you recommend for applications to start customizing my phone and remove unnecessary applications?

Hello,
You can add my video tuto if you want

I tried this method a while ago with my own language (Arabic) and it worked.
Why you wrote German, and why language matters?
Thank you ser, I'll try this as soon as I get my new Neo

German firmware is not blocked for update ota without pc.
181_generic and 181_uk is blocked for update OTA , error say ;
update with pc comanion.....
Does anyone have 3.0.A.2.181 German firmware ftf file for download? I'll going to try with flashtool
@anikill3010
wich backup program are you using in the movie ?
Confirm that English + Generic UK firmware worked (few days ago)
Confirm that the process works. My phone was MT15a with 2.3.3. (3.0.*.145) - now MT15i 2.3.3 (4.0.*.368).
Followed NeoJeo's video tuto I tried *.182 for MT15a when downgrading to 2.3.2, but latter no OTA possible to upgrade to 2.3.3. Got to redo with German - Generic Trade Germany (*.181) as it was said in the 1st post.
Now with *.368 and the phone said it is MT15i
HSDPA 2100MHz works OK, don't know about other bands as not available here.
So does it mean that MT15a can be converted into MT15i by reflashing?
Or it si OK just because both MT15a and MT15i have 2100 band?

Because Wotan not keep user settings. I already solved it with the hongkong firmware, thanks anyway.
Thanks for this post, I wanted to do a fresh install without some of the mods I made last time, and read that the global firmware I used wasn't a good choice anymore.
This worked perfectly, and made me try the Wotan method !
I tried asking this in one of the other root threads but haven't gotten an answer yet so I'll try here again.
Wotanserver makes me lose everything right?
So let's say I have a completely stock brand new just came out of the box phone and all I've done so far is loaded contacts from the sim card, no apps not nothing, what will I lose if I don't make a backup before using wotanserver?
Does wotanserver also wipe sim and SD card data or only phone data?
Hello, and sorry for my poor english
WotanServer just erases the user data, in the internal memory (contacts, apps, APN, settings, bookmarks, MMS etc.). So if you haven't to backup this data you can flash the firmware without backup
Also, the SD card content isn't losed
Thanks.
It wouldn't wipe contacts on a sim card either?

For sim card contacts - no, won't be touched.
For contacts in phone, you can sync with your google account. Or another way is to use SonyEricsson's Backup and Restore app. It can save not only contacts, but also SMS, call logs, browser bookmarks & many android OS settings to your SD card.
(Seems SE has removed the app from its website. Who need it got to download from somewhere else or use similar app from the Market.)
I can confirm that the process works. I use the generic trade germany CDA. Now I have MT15i 2.3.3 (4.0.*.368).

You can't connect to PC via PC companion? You can't repair through PC Companion or SEUS? Is your phone bricked? Because if it is, then you basically can't install apps right? What are you gonna do to the contents of /system/app when you get them?
It's not bricked, I can use all the functions exept connecting to pc and update to 2.1. When I connect the phone to PC it not responding, nothing happens so I'll try to overwrite system apps and hope this will fix the issue. Root explorer will do the task but i need system/app content

Sorry, but I am not quite sure what your problem is.
You have installed an app or a widget which needs to access your contacts, and you deleted this access?!
Then you should try to un-install the app / widget and re-install it again.
Or has an app or widget deleted (your access to) your contacts?!
Then you should delete this app / widget, and restore your contacts from a backup (Google, KIES, etc.).
Good luck !
The problem is that if you change the rom, the phone gives me problems, for me ejmplo delete access to my contacts photo favorites, also when I download some applications market, will not let me install, it tells me package file ... not valid.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
give us deletes about your phone.
go to settings-phone and give us details about your model and currebt rom version.
I have a feeling you maybe trying to flash a rom that is not meant for your version of the phone.
my phone had 2.3.3 android I9100BVKH1 ORIGINAL ORANGE SPAIN, I updated with the orange android 2.3.5bvkj4 kies, but not if something went wrong because my phone started giving problems, then install all types of roms and even Cyanogen, but continues with these things, market release applications and some say I can not install the file package is not valid .... so here install from the original orange spain and now I have the android 2.3.5, version i9100bvkj4 base band, Kermel i9100bvkj4-2.6.35.7-cl681297roor @ dell135 # 2, gingerbread.bvkj4 compilation. but everything remains the same friends, and when you connect it to kies, tells me that I can not update! think it messed up because I still have my original efs. thanks for your help! I hope someone of solution, if not take him to the technical service, because I'm desperate now.
As you have no warranty after installing custom roms your best solution is to start from a clean phone .
Download stock firmware for your phone and Odin ,
Backup data .
Boot phone to recovery go to Mounts and Storage Format cache data system and sd card .
Remove battery replace and go to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
If it then needs warranty service use usb jig to reset custom rom counter .

Hi,
Is there a way I can access the content of mini paper (on galaxy s2) after updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 . Done a search in the xda forums and alot have had issues with mini paper since updating. I know the fix to make mini paper function normally again is to clear the data , but this wipes the content I had in there. Just wonder if there is a way I can access the content before I clear data so that I can use this widget again and restore previous content.
Cheers
Where would the data for mini paper widgets be stored in the Android file system ? I just want to back this up before I clear the data and use mini paper normally again.
Cheers
Hi, did you managed to find a way to recover the information on the mini papers?
I didnt see of this problem, before updating...
Thanks for the information
I made the same mistake. I updated my phone from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and now I can't use Mini Paper and I hade some important notes there. Is there anyone who knows how I can recover my notes?
Thanks in advance!
Is there anyone who can help me please? I really need the notes.
Solved !
Hi guys,
I've found a way to solve this problem after I upgrade my sgs2 to the v.2.3.5 .
First, you have to root your phone. There are plenty of tutorial on the web to help you. Then install a file explorer with root access (such as Root Explorer but it is not free). Finally, go to /data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.postit/databases and copy (in a folder you can access with normal user) the file postit.db
Connect your phone to your PC and copy the file. Then you can read it with Notepad as a .txt file.
Thanks for the answer!
(too bad i was not patient enough and i wipe out everything hihi)
but it would be usefull for the next time.
And i am going to root my phone very soon also ;-)
Thanks mhugh I'll give this a try
hey hi everyone, I'm gurwinder. i'm frm India. here in India online shopping websites have lured us for buying dell aero at very cheap prices, i think lot of people have bought it online. but now all of them are facing lots of problems due to this phone.
1.first of all this phone has locked access to everything we can download limited apps from Google market...yes android market because its not updated version, have 1.5 cupcake version and it doesn't allow system to be update...there is no option to download update to operating system in mobile. so it doesn't allow any root app like z4root or superoneclick to be downloaded from android market...neither we can download it on desktop and transfer it to phone...it is of no use because it is not allowed to be installed in phone..
2. we seriously want to upgrade the android operating system but cant do it..
3. there is a urgent to need to root this phone because we have very limited access to super rights.... it is like we are provided with a desktop as a guest account...
4.it keep on sending messages to some invisible number "for sure ISD" costing me 5 rupees. i cant stop it form doing it. it has one app named AT&T navigator, for sure this app has something to do with this messages sending. please help to as to how to stop it sending messages by its own
so i thought going online and asking for help form you guys....you guys are expert and i know you will surely help us
thanks...
Dell Aero
Hi Gurwinder,
Not going to the very technical details
1. Dell Aero is a customized feature phone.You need to contact provider to upgrade it.
2.Dont try to root it, it will disable the Android Market.
3.Try Advanced task blocker to block AT&T Navigator everytime you switch ON your phone.
(Having said so, I expect you have tried all other options of deleting ufilled contacts and master resettting.)
Also activate DND in your phone.
I am doubtful that even that would solve the problem.
4.Rooting can only be done by transmission rooting(I hope, am yet to try).
5.Since Dell has exitted from the mobile industry, so no use in breaking head with it, use it with whatever you get from android market.
I am an Android App developer and after breaking my head with it for over a week (I could have earned 10 times its cost), I come to the conclusion
no need to waste time on this crap.
If phone calls are not possible.Take out the Sim and use it as an ebook reader(QucikOffice).As a ebook reader, web browser (with the latest opera mini) and photoshop, still it is a good value for money.Buy a small nokia 808 phone costing Rs 800 (if u dont have any other phone), carry both in ur pocket and enjoy!!
Take out the ' made in china tag', it will appear costlier and robust.
Good apps for it:
1.MixZing music player (playes mpeg also)
2.Opera mini
3.Photoshop
4.Chess game
5Avg antivirus
6.Fx camera
7.chomp sms
8.Network speed
9.Battery
10.Barcode scanner
11.Wordholic reader
12.Advance task killer
Rest all good apps are already present, and andorid market is filled with junks.Still you need any app, then contact me I would rather develp one than searching in that junk store.

Root possible according to chinease, sms problem still persists
thanks Koustuv for this favor....actually after posting my problem everywhere on internet i got no reply and no help whatsoever, glad that at least one person replied and offered me to help...now koustuv let me explain the situation more clearly to you....
1. after buying this silly phone i have searched everywhere on internet so that i can troubleshoot this phone. 1 month continuously searching Chinese sites for help, i came to know that its operating system is "ophone" that is customized android made by some Chinese company and its version is 1.5. this crap phone was the result of collaboration of company named borqs and dell.
2. let me tell about sms problem. this silly phone keeps on sending messages to some international number which charges us 5 rs a message, which is quite annoying... as it eats up all the balance from the account without even telling anything....like as you told me to block some system apps, i have installed startup cleaner pro and blocked two system apps "at&t hot spots and at&t navigator" but it is of no use as sms problem is still pretty working ......this issue is escalated by some newzealender friend on my help question on dell forum too....he too have same issue.....however he made an interesting quote that he researched that this phone was sending message to scam number in bejing....
3. talking about rooting or removing system apps i came to know that after replacing su file it is possible to use root explorer and uninstall all that crap from phone...this information i collected from Chinese forums.check here...
OMS 1.5, the latest version of the Get Root permission
Source: Android Chinese network
New firmware OMS 1.5 1.5 O1 updated again, the original 1.5 firmware upgrade root privileges unavailable now update method still O1 through a PC connection, you can use this method of RootExplorer be achieved by replacing the su file.
The installation process is as follows
1, the install Belcara company produced USBLan driver
2, connected O1 to your computer, select debug mode automatically install the drivers
3, open the network connection, and will see a new local connection, the device named "Belcarra USB LAN LINK", set its IP to 192.168.100.1 subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 (Description: This connection in every times the phone connected to the computer to select Debug to appear.)
Install OMS 1.5 SDK library, SDK libraries at your own download volume, online, before you install the SDK libraries need to install JAVA. (In fact, should be as long as the ADB relevant documents can be.)
5 su file to put the tools in the SDK package file folder (like me is: "D: \ Program Files \ OPhoneSDK_1.5.beta \ tools")
6, run cmd, enter the tools folder in the SDK package!
Run the following command, the red part:
set adbhost = 192.168.100.2
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices / / if there is no display on the device, please repeat the above steps, equipment display please continue
adb root / / return restarting the adbd as root again perform the above steps
/ / Return the adbd is already running as root, please continue
adb push su / system / xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 / system / xbin / su 7 | / B, H1 \: A "a! L
adb shell sync
adb shell reboot
...see if we both can troubleshoot this phone and help millions like us facing problem due to this silly phone....
Nice exploration
Hi Gurwidner,
Have you tried yourself this rooting technique?
Can you please provide the related links ?
First I am concerned about the SMS bug, as that is the primary requirement to make this crap usable.
Let us see, also if you get any futher update, could you please keep this thread updated?

yeah I'm continuously checking every resource, every information on internet to troubleshoot this phone. My first priority is to remove that sms problem too. i haven't tried this rooting technique. first I'm making sure that i read each and every article about dell aero on internet because I'm more electronics field guy so dont know much about android programming and all...I'm checking all the Chinese pages (which i can search) for references so that i wont do any mistake and make my phone a brick...lol...My troubleshoot process should be fool proof.:fingers-crossed:.of-course I'll keep this thread updated as i can feel the pain which must be felt by hundreds of them who bought this phone....i'm new user so xda doesn't allow me to post links I'll try to send message of those links....work with me to troubleshoot this piece of ****....:highfive:
Really Disappointed
Hi ,
Recently ,I bought this phone and i am also on same boat as you people are discussing in here .Even I Send a Email to dell India regarding the problems and received a Insane message reply from Dell India .
" Dear Customer
This is to inform you that your phone carries AT&T warranty which is out of country phones hence would request you to get in touch with the dealer where you have purchased as we cannot support on this
Regards
Sowmya"
Now i am really disappointed with this phone and want to get Rid of these problems.
Is it possible to install Android version 2.2 through Flash installation and deleting the previous installation provided by Dell
Take care
Nagi
Some of the working solutions
Hi
1.First of all note that this Rs 5 deduction problem is not related to AT&T navigator, or any visible application eg gps or even your messaging app.
2.I am looking for a solution but I am unable to fix this as yet.
3.Till then, you can use your phone by
i) keeping balance less than Rs 5
ii) using minutes plan or some voucher to provide you call a min per paise instead of ruppes
iii) u can keep recharge voucher handy (or scratch their code and save somewhere in phone),and when you need to call for more minutes, use them.
iv) you can request your service provider to block your sms to that number or infact block all outgoing sms.
v) you can set your sms service number from some other phone to a very large number which renders it incorrect and block your sms application itself.
But friend none of this is a solution. I am afraid, I wont be able to get this bug corrected without any technical support from the manufacturers.
There are some attempts to root it,flash it, but there has not been achieved any success in this regard.So if you are not a geek dont try all those methods you will lose even whatever functionality you have in you phone.
As of now I can help only this much.But if anybody has any other point or method, then please let me know.
Thanks and regards

HI Nagi,
I can feel your pain as I'm also the proud owner of this phone. there is no point that at&t or dell is going to help us because this phone is bought by these Indian sellers from china at throwaway prices and they sold it to us at huge profit. this phone was discontinued by dell way back 2009 or something but they still had stock of this phone which was unsold so they decided to sell it very cheap....now here gain is for these sellers who sold it to us and now they don't even know how to troubleshoot this phone's problems and we are at losing end, who bought this phone.....now don't worry I'm working on this phone since 1 month to troubleshoot..i think i'm very close..but i still have some software drivers and dell aero ROM 2.2 to be downloaded once i downloaded this stuff i will post the detail procedure to correct this phone....till den take care :good:

Atlast, Find a solution to save 5 Rs
Hi Gurwinder,
I Come up with a Great idea and that's really work to save 5 Rs From [email protected]*k Chinese Mafia ,who had installed a Malware in these creepy Dell Phones .
The Idea that come into my mind was to change the SMS reply center Number ,that each mobile operator install in their sims to send SMS to Central SMS center ,Changing the number through Dell phone was difficult, as these phones ROM are Custom Designed ,So what i did ,i replaced my Vodafone sim into a cheap java handset ,and in that phone went into message setting and replacing SMS center Number +919811009998 to +91981100 .Save the Setting
After that ,I placed the sim Back into dell Aero ,and tried to send the message to any of my contact .SMS Doesn't gone through ,This Idea is really a Manna from heaven for me and also for other Dell aero user facing same problem .
Advantage is that you are able to receive SMS & Disadvantage SMS will not go through your Phone ,But saving 20RS/day on unknown SMS will override the Disadvantage ,:laugh:
Until then , You people ,Keep on working with software problem and Please come up with a Reasonable solution
Take Care

yeah sucess is near
hi koustuv,
I'm not going to root this phone now firstly i will try to put original factory ROM on this phone (not AT&T customized one). i have read on various forums that this Factory ROM doesn't have those ****ing AT&T restrictions and that SMS bug, so yeah i have downloaded the FIREBOLT software used to put ROM on this phone. now problem is that i have windows 7 but i need windows xp for my phone to be detected in this software . i have also got the Factory ROM downloaded from internet. earlier i was searching for firebolt windows 7 drivers on borqs website but didn't find there nor it is available on any Chinese or Spanish forums. so finally i have decided to arrange windows xp from somewhere....don't worry this process is error free as lots of Chinese and Spanish guys have tested and tried this process as they have posted detailed procedure on those fourms....:good:

Hi Gurwinder,
I Come up with a Great idea and that's really work to save 5 Rs From [email protected]*k Chinese Mafia ,who had installed a Malware in these creepy Dell Phones .
The Idea that come into my mind was to change the SMS reply center Number ,that each mobile operator install in their sims to send SMS to Central SMS center ,Changing the number through Dell phone was difficult, as these phones ROM are Custom Designed ,So what i did ,i replaced my Vodafone sim into a cheap java handset ,and in that phone went into message setting and replacing SMS center Number +919811009998 to +91981100 .Save the Setting
After that ,I placed the sim Back into dell Aero ,and tried to send the message to any of my contact .SMS Doesn't gone through ,This Idea is really a Manna from heaven for me and also for other Dell aero user facing same problem .
Advantage is that you are able to receive SMS & Disadvantage SMS will not go through your Phone ,But saving 20RS/day on unknown SMS will override the Disadvantage ,:laugh:
Until then , You people ,Keep on working with software problem and Please come up with a Reasonable solution
Take Care

Dear Hardeep,
That was nice, to hear from you that you are also free from the prejudice of Dell Mafia Group ,Who had already make a Ample amount of Money by selling the Chinese Phone ,and in contrast earning Money through a Daily SMS reply to some international number ,May be that SMS Number company is paying dell a commission for per SMS Received .
Anyway from now on ,we don't have to worry about SMS Problem..
Talking about the Internet Service ,Brother you had to update the Setting to use 3G connection ,I am sending you a Link just go through it and if doesn't work Call BSNL Customer care and ask for the Setting on Android .

Dell aero OS upload software
Dell aero uses Firebolt Software made by Borqs to upload operating system image on it or we can say put ROM on it. it is like the same as we install new windows on our pc's. here we use only windows CD to install OS on our computer hardware but in case of dell aero we need to use a software which helps us to put OS on phone hardware. now talking about Firebolt, getting Firebolt was not that easy i had to search whole lot of chinease websites to get it. it took me 15 days to locate a website from where i downloaded it. all of you guys annoyed with this silly phone dont worry there is a ray of hope that atleast we can remove that croupt OS with that international messages sending thing to a new fresh and clean ROM. however i am busy these days so today i will only put the Screenshots of Dell Aero in Flash mode and Firebolt software uploading ROM on Phone.

Unfortunately TouchWiz Home Has Stopped
Ok... I will start, First thing was to get rid of that stupid swipe up to the Magazine app under the home page of my Sprint Note 3. After I deleted the Magazine apk and odex files, when the home button was hit twice I got an error message "Unfortunately TouchWiz Home Has Stopped Working". My solution was to install NOVA Launcher. After it was setup, I deleted TouchWiz Home .apk and Easy Launcher .apk (TouchWiz Easy Home). The error message has stopped, the home screen does not swipe up anymore (great!!!).
About time !!
Wonderful work mate i know i had serach for two days to zero in on a reliable tested list
Back then ( about a week back ) I had followed Droidstyles list of bloatware apps and uninstalled most barring samsung HUB and its service and that easy mode apk .
all the rest i murdered mercilessly ;P Of course he is on verizon N3 and ours is sprint , but apart from native vzn apps all the rest are similar and safe to freeze or remove , all the sprint crap i had already removed .
here is his post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52337960&postcount=1089

thanks again
One more thing I wish to add
Kindly don't remove
"MyScript ResourceManager
Otherwise you ll face many force closes while using s pen functions .
See ya

Unfortunately Sprint ID Has Stopped
I have another one, I deleted the MDMApp.apk. It showed 0.00B on the application manger, thought it was empty. After I deleted it, got an error message " Unfortunately Sprint ID Has Stopped" when I downloaded an app in the play store, ended up restoring my latest backup, and replacing the MDMApp.apk. It may be empty, but it has something to do with e-mail identity and your device identity when using Google Play Store. Here is a site that explains this. http://www.itnews.com.au/BlogEntry/350953,what-is-mdm.aspx Restoring the app did NOT stop the error message !!! Somehow the settings where changed in the Google play store. When I installed Nova launcher and deleted the TouchWis launcher you have to uncheck the "Add icon to Home screen" option, or the play store tries to add an icon the to home page of a now deleted TW launcher and you get the "Unfortunately Sprint ID has Stopped" error message. There is more one fix, you can delete the ID.apk, this stops the error message to, ID.apk installs the sprint default apps, Scout, Messaging +,CBS News, Lockout Security,1Weather, etc. Which showed up the time first booted up your new device. You MUST also, delete Sprint_Installer.apk, or it reinstalls everything on a new boot up. If you delete the default apps you can always find them in the Google Play Store.

Unfortunately Email Has Stopped
First, after receiving an email and clearing it out of notifications, I get the error message "Unfortunately Email Has Stopped". This is caused by either stopping the MyMagazine.apk (doesn't stay stopped) or deleting it (my choice). So, I downloaded a deodexed NC5 copy, pulled Gmail2.apk, and SecEmail_J.apk files. Decompiled them with an APK Tool, and tossed them in a Text Editor. Did several searches could not find the word Magazine in any file in the APK's. SOLUTION : downloaded CloudMagic email app, set up my emails, then deleted SecEmail_J.apk and odex files. Left the Gmail2.apk, and SecExchange.apk files in place, and everything works great with no error messages!!!
Edit : If you have updated from Gmail.apk to Gmail2.apk, Gmail2 allows for Google, and non-Google email accounts to run on it. So all you have to do is delete SecEmail_J.apk and .odex files. Then run all your emails on the Gmail2.apk app and the " Unfortunately Email has stopped " error will be gone !!!
Build.prop ( knox )
As you can see from the image, I'm going to assume the line item builds or tells device to build a KNOX container ? This was still there after I did a KNOX search with Root Explorer. I used the script editor in Root Explorer to remove the line circled in red. So far there have been to problems or error messages. Hopefully just another part KNOX spyware gone !!!

KNOX REMOVAL ( Build.prop )
As many of us know, you can disable KNOX but so far, it is impossible to remove it. I found that after ROOTING my device, once you open SuperSU it asks if you want to disable KNOX ( MANY THANKS TO CHAINFIRE ). I clicked yes, Then installed Root Explorer, and did a search for KNOX. It came up with a dozen or so files, I did a mulit-delete to get rid of them. With that done you end up with two files left that when deleted come back (reinstall) upon rebooting device. First one is SYSTEM/DATA/KNOXVPN below are screenshots.
Now to permanently delete this file, go into Root Explorer script editor and remove the files that are outlined in RED in Build.prop screenshot below. Then delete the files in the screen shots above, and reboot device. As you can see in the next screenshot below it is gone, and will not reinstall on boot up !!!
As for the second one it is CILPBOARD/DATA/KNOX it is still a work in progress, but I have not given up yet !!!
CSC ( Customer Sales Code )
In the process of DEBLOATING my Samsung Note 3 after multiple recovery backups, error messages, and freezes. I needed a fresh start, went to Samsung Firmware and downloaded the latest version of 4.4.2 NC5. Once it was flashed in the device, I noticed that upon boot up the Yellow Sprint Logo that follows the Samsung logo was missing. At first I thought it was an incomplete download. ( This could be a problem ) Turns out, there are four CSC ( customer sales codes ) versions of Sprint 4.4.2 NC5 on my device.
1. SPR ( Sprint USA ) adds yellow Sprint logo, very common
2. VMU ( Sprint USA ) adds yellow Sprint logo, used rarely
3. BST ( Boost Mobile Australia )
4. XAS ( Sprint USA ) no Sprint logo, used when carrier is unknown
( If you go to system/media this is why there are so many versions boot_samsung.qmg files )
The files listed above can be found in system/csc. To find out which version you are running go to system/csc/sales_code.dat, and open with a text editor. The version of 4.4.2 NC5 I downloaded from Samsung Firmware was XAS that comes with no yellow Sprint logo. ( Problem solved )
Quite an observation mate .
Would be useful for me as I am Stull on nab and I wish to update myself to nc5 before I flash the vision X 3.0 rom
Thanks again bro

COOL !!! Check this out !!! First download or update to a copy of NC5. Now go to this XDA link http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 Download and install the Galaxy Tools APP ( Thanks to idone ) now open menu and check out all the goodies. Now click on Preconfig, then choose the CSC you want, then click install. You will end up with a out of the box, new copy of NC5. Check out screenshots !!!
BECAREFUL ONCE YOU CLICK INSTALL, YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE, AND INTERNAL SDCARD BACKUP ALL DATA FIRST TO YOUR PC.
Prl, mdn, min, meid, spc ???
What does all this mean?
What is the PRL?
The PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is essentially a list of towers for the device to use to prioritize communication. A "Sprint" PRL is required for the device to use Sprint's towers to communicate. So, you should update your PRL when you move, or are planning to be in an area for an extended period of time.
What is the MDN?
The MDN (Mobile Directory Number) is the phone number with area code associated to your account. It is required to program your device. (Example 5558675309)
What is the MIN aka MSID?
The MIN(Mobile Identification Number) is a unique number associated to your account, using the same area code of your locale. It is required to program your device. (Example 5551234567)
A mobile station ID (MSID) is a number that is associated with the home service provider and the wireless phone number. This is reprogrammed when the user changes home service providers. It can also be called the mobile identification number (MIN) and is not to be confused with the mobile device number (MDN) in the CDMA world, which is the device's telephone number.
What is the MEID/IMEI/ESN?
The MEID ( Mobile Equipment Identifier ) is what your carrier uses to identify your device. MIED is a form of ESN ( Electronic Serial Number ). IMEI stands for ( International Mobile Equipment Identity ). IMEI is another form of ESN. In Sprint's case, you need the MEID DEC to associate your device with your account. Some devices (Samsung Note 3) have it listed on the sticker under the battery, while others will have MEID HEX listed in the OS instead, and will need to be converted to DEC. Samsung Note 3 lists both on the sticker under the battery.
(DEC Example 268435456123456789) (HEX Example A000000A1B2C3D)
What is the SPC? aka MSL?
The SPC is a 6-digit code used to access the programming features of your device. All Verizon devices use 000000 as the SPC code, which makes flashing very easy usually. Sprint devices use a unique code for each device and they can be quite a task to obtain.
MDN and MIN with no MSL on Note 3
Ok, to get MDN and MIN go to DATA/USER/0/com.samsung.syncservice/shared_prefs/PHONE_DATA.xml they will be listed there.
MSL on Note 3
This app is only one that worked to get MSL/SPC here is the link https://mega.co.nz/#!cdgkCbZQ!FMc13SUNTcM4elX-IwHQhKNGjSnT_bjNXWNQw7heqU8 download, and install click on MSL/SPC.

No, not that I have found. If you tell what you removed that you want back maybe I can get it for you ? Are you rooted ? Otherwise here are some options.
First if you are not rooted, do a factory reset. Yes you lose all your data, so connect your device to PC via usb cable and copy and paste all of your music and pics to folders on your desktop. Then reinstall after the factory reset. Your contacts will come back after you sign in to your gmail account.
If you have a rooted device, then you should have made backup right after you rooted the device. So you will have to do a backup restore. I keep two backups, one is copy of the full rooted stock NC5. The other is a backup of NC5 with a font mod, volume mod, and completely debloated, no KNOX set up for daily use. If I flash a new rom and it goes bad I can always restore back to normal.
