It does not matter, such talk is still against the rules and we have no way to verify that.

I agree .... but as I said before " I just want TO restore my original S.N "

You can change nothing without a hardware box that costs more than your phone is worth. Take it to a repair shop and get them to recode it, make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.

Thanks, so Refurbished phones don't have a special Serial number?
It freaked me when i saw RF on my phone i believed it was refurbished.

[P] HW issue, does not detect USB disconnect

My Xperia P detects a USB connection fine, but doesn't detect the disconnection. For example the charging light continues to glow after unplugging. Only way to reset it is to turn it off and remove the internal battery connector.
Are there any HW experts here? I'm quite good with a soldering iron if some component is broken. It's a really annoying error.
thanks / erak
Stock firmware? What version?

Sorry, I forgot to mention it. Because the error remains regardless of firmware. Bootloader locked and never tried custom firmware. Right now on 6.1.B.0.544

Never mind custom ROMs, have you tried .54 or .75?
Could be HW problem.

I am not saying rooting caused it, just that if you root you lose your warranty unless you unroot. Since you are out of warranty, i think you need to pay as xda does not fix hardware problems

XDA can of course not fix anything by itself, it's a forum. Hardware engineers lurk here also, and it was them I was asking for help. But thanks for your time
Where are you gonna get the parts

The hardest part is to find the source of the error, could just be a broken trace. I thought someone might be able to point me to the correct location on the pcb.
In Europe you can buy standard components from for example farnell or elfa. If it's more product specific, ebay is an option, or a spare broken phone.
It's a hobby and I've fixed both big and small electronics, for example iPhone fpc:s. But tiny smd components can be hard, if not impossible without the correct tools.
If you don't have anything constructive to say regarding this thread I propose that you send me a pm instead. BTW, your signature is huge.

weird screen

the phone soft-braked and i cant get to the bootloader !!!
help???
You're not the first user with the same problem.
What you did before it happens? What's your rom? Have you a 4.3 or an older bootloader? Hardware tweaks such overclock, overvolt etc. ?

from my knowledge I guess it might occur because phone might have been dropped from height.

your LCD got damaged
if you are unable to get to boot loader then replace it
nothing can be done if you can't access at least boot loader
Excluded LCD, is device working?
If you simply bootup it, can you ear the boot animation sound?
Can Odin recognize it?

Me personally I would get a new phone and sell yours for parts etc, of course its entirely up to you. Google some prices and see what you can afford but in my opinion the cost of repairing would not be far off the cost of what a Galaxy S3 is worth now days.:crying:

[Q] Flashing US Cellular to Verizon (Not Pre-Paid)?

Hello all,
A friend of mine is mailing me his old Note 2 from US Cellular in hopes of helping me replace my HTC Droid DNA which is on Verizon. My question is if I can flash the Note 2 over to Verizon to replace my current device? Not sure if his phone takes a SIM card or not. I am also not on a Pre-Paid plan. Hope someone can help me out with this. Thanks in advance.

You would still have to get Verizon to activate it which they seldom do with devices that are not theirs.

So should I flash it and then take it there or still search and hope there is another way? Thanks for the response.

To be honest it would t matter either way. You could flash it but the min they check the esn and it's not in their system then it will be a fight.
When I last worked for Verizon we were trained on what to look for and to flat out deny any device not in their system.
I would flash it first but like said it won't matter much either way.

Is there a way to trick the system? Maybe find a way to get a good esn? I'm really trying to get out of this DNA (worst phone I've ever had).

There are ways but none legal. Which means I can't tell you how.

They are good. Because it would take you using a number already in their system and the first time they do a system sweep your busted.

ZTE MARKET On Axon7 Chinese Version (A2017)

Was wondering if anyone using the Chinese version on the phone managed to create an account on the ZTE market APP?
this is required in order to access the Dynamic lock screen wallpapers (for example).
The issue here is that it asks you to type your phone number in order to send back an SMS with the Verification code,
but every combination that i tried (i.e. with an international prefix, + before the number, The number iteself...) is rejected.
Thanks,
Good question. Would like to know if there is a way as well?
You might try this:
00 + 1 + City Area Code + Phone Number
That is the way I used to have to call back to the states when I lived in China if memeory serves.

do you know what 'bumping' is, on a forum?
I 've contact Zte for this, they ask a ton of stuff, like IMEI, model purchase date, I even attached picture with the sticker in the box, so they will sent me(hopefully)an answer.,a link probably.I took the chance to complain about it. I suggested to ask an email. Do you want an update with what happened?
