[Q] Can't flash any ROM whithout losing IMEIs - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
Sorry if I don't post this topic where it should be..
Recently, I bought a new phone and the rom that is has it's a little bit bad..
The phone is a XOLO Q800 wich in Romania, where I live, is called Allview P5 Quad.
So.. I don't like the ROM and I want to flash another one.
But, now comes the problem: when I try to flash any ROM, the imeis (imeis because it is a dual sim phone) are lost..
So, does anyone have an idea or a fix for this problem?
I have CWM recovery and root access.
Thank you
Have a nice day. :3
And sorry for my bad english

That phone isn't supported here (actually the first time I hear about it). Although, you might have more chance in the Xolo sub-forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xolo-q700
Now that being said, you'll need a ROM that supports dual sim and also has the right modem/radio. You might wanna find out which one the stock ROM has and look for them in the custom ROM (or simply put the stock one in the zip).

Apologies, for this stupid question: Stock Roms...

Hi guys,
I've just gone through a guide on how to unlock my phone, so awesome, Step 1 is done!
Now, with having currently an Orange (UK) based stock rom, I'm looking to get rid of it, and needing to know before I flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
What is a Stock Rom?
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and I did search quickly, but nobody has asked this, and all the queries come up are people talking about stock roms.
Thank you,
It's not a stupid question, a Stock ROM is a ROM that is provided by your telecom company or the manufacturer of your phone (Like HTC), so that means a standard ROM without any of the wonderful hacks and additions the guys on this site came up with .
So when you buy a brand new phone the ROM that is on there would be a stock ROM.
Wow, thanks Mad.
Now the problem I have now, is it says "flash stock rom before flashing this", so what should I flash it to first?
I like the look of that rom above you see, and just not sure what to flash it to first.
If you bought your phone from your provider and not
second hand, it will have the stock rom on it, so you would be good to go. Make sure you read the flashing guide, and check radio compatibility with the rom you would like to use.
My preference is to flash with the sd card, rather than a RUU from the desktop. I've had much more success that way.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Criss
Thanks Criss,
How would I backup my stock rom, and radio?
Because a few people who make the Rom's are abroad, I've no way of knowing if the radio's they've used are compatible with my network provider here in the UK.
Whats some things I should look out for?
Thank you,
the search area at the top right hand corner.. Then just type in "how to backup stock rom"
Thats what I would do.
rofl, thanks Chumley.
I've just been lazy and started flashing from my Stock ROM.
Balls to it, hopefully I won't ever need to go back, but nevermind. My mistake and downfall!
I would keep a copy of your providers shipped rom around

You'll need it in case you need to make a warranty claim. You can check with the support section of their website, or the Kaiser Wiki could point you in the right direction.
No warranty on the phone, its secondhand.
I'll have a look to see if there are stock roms available through Orange / HTC for it.
Thanks once again!
The rom loads and looks lovely, shame I cocked up the theme, but i'll sort that out later when I can be bothered!

First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Tnx,i found everything already here for flashing all files and procedure to make my tab root and etc...but fu..ing bodering me is branded tab and locked sim card on my provider..and i dont know can i change other stock rom of sweden or even other provider rom to use..so far i found only one custom rom for 7320 but no explaination for using to branded tab only for unlocked tabs..i dont want bricked device..otherwise i will wait for how long i dont know fo update of my lazy provider to bring 4.04...
Hello,finally after cople hours of taking brave i started to do on my own risk everything and results are posititve.so i do exacly like imf ound here on forum and flased custom recovry and then flashed custom rom arciis and everything was fine for me..so conclusion is that you can even with branded tab make this becuse your modem and status of provider will not change and everything will work..threat can be closed and i hope for others that my scares will help for others with same problem...

[Q] Data problem with my Note

Hi everyone, am new here, i decided to register on XDA after scrounging and searching of solution to my problem. All of my finds were disappointing and vague. So i finally joined up after going thru an intimidating XDA signup vid (one of the reasons i didnt wanna join in the first place). So here's the prob..
My N7000 (international) is bad at picking up signal, which forces the phone to go for Edge instead of H/H+/3g. I live in a country where 3g is supported. I could connect to 3g as well as having better connections (using the same simcard, as well same location) with my friends S3 and Ace 2 but not my Note So i figured maybe that theres probably something wrong with its hardware (?)
One other thing, if i set my network mode to WCDMA, the phone will have NO signal AT ALL. With GSM only, theres weak/moderate signal, same goes to (Auto Mode), which am guessing it'll only choose GSM.
My phone is running Philz Kernel. BurtRom JB XXLSZ. And ive also tried XXLSO (problem still exist)
Should i try flashing AOSP roms..maybe, flashing diffrent radios help? :/ mehh..i really dont know anymore..
Sorry, if my question seems long. And i genuinely believe that i needed to post a new thread to get a solution from the pros! thnx in advance..
flash the stock rom again and keep the stock kernel.. if you want to root then let me know.. i'll give u flashable zip to root with the stock kernel...

Sorry, i forgot to mention that, even when i was on stock kernel and stock rom, the problem was already there, and i thought rooting and flashing might solve it but it didnt :/..

You can not flash I8750 ROM to a T899M, they are different devices with the same appearance.

Thanks for your reply and Can you tell me what I can do for my cellphone?
The only thing that you can try is to find a rom for your device (t899m) and flash it...
I didn't understand how you pass the signature check from the flasher...
Hope you find a rom out there....
Sent from my GT-I8750 using Tapatalk
I don't know if there are any t899m roms out there, but that's what you would need to reflash to get your phone working again, like tooly said.

Hello i would like to know if you find à solution about your problèm because i checked all the internet and i nerver found à solution
Tank you
You tried to flash a GT-I8750 ROM to a SGH-T899M. What happened is... exactly what I, or almost anybody else on this forum with any experience flashing phones, would have told you would happen. I'm sorry dude, but you are SOL until/unless you can find a T899M ROM. The differences between the two phone models are subtle but they're more than sufficient to make the ROMs incompatible.
I'm sorry for your phone, I hope you find a solution

[Q/REQ] CWM for SM-G730W8 variant?

I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to CWM for the SM-G730W8, so can anyone port a version of CWM for all of the Canadian users? I've read about installing CWM with fastboot but I don't understand it and I'm not sure if I need to have a CWM that works for my phone. Also can anyone tell me if Recovery Builder works or can someone teach me to use it? Thanks in advance guys.

Well Flash Gordon only works with some zip files; I don't know why. Kn0x0ut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550120 is a good alternative to Flash Gordon and possibly CWM since we still can't unlock out bootloader. I've been looking around and I found that the s4 mini has a method of installing CWM and unlocking the bootloader through the process but I'm not sure if it works. I don't really want to test it because it would be a hassle to have to unbrick my phone and download all of my apps again if this method doesn't work. The reason I think this might work is because it works with the Canadian version of the S4 mini(SGH-I257M) and that's different from the normal s4 mini(GT-I9195). Since the SM-G730W8 is a Canadian phone that was released at the same time as the SGH-I257M there's a chance that their bootloader's can be unlocked in the same way. If it works for the SM-G730W8 then it would work for the SM-G730A and SM-G730V. Here's the link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 . The developer and I are not responsible for any bricked phones. If you want to test this go ahead and be sure to report back here to tell us if it works. Good luck if you decide to test this. I might test it in the summer when I have time but I can't risk bricking my phone at the moment and I might even buy I new phone soon because this phone is just not meeting my needs for gaming.
BTW Samsung didn't repair my phone. they said they made "mechanical adjustments" to it but it doesn't matter what they did because my phone still has dead pixels around the screen. I'm just pointing this out because Samsung is really trying hard to lose customers now lol. First they install KNOX to all of their devices, then they lock the bootloaders on our phones to the point where it's near impossible to unlock and then they don't do anything when you send your phone in for repairs -_- I think I'm done with Samsung.
I likely shouldn't be posting in an older thread, but I felt it important to notify. The S4 mini recovery that you linked to was the only one that came close to working on my SM-G730W8. It booted into a very buggy and dysfunctional version with a dimmed screen and a constant vibration on. it was useless, but is was the only custom recovery I could get to boot.
I should also note that previously on the stock 4.2.2 firmware the boot loader was locked, and it would just boot loop any custom recovery. After installer the new stock 4.4.2 firmware, the boot loader appears to be unlocked, because recoveries don't seem to boot loop, and as I stated above one of them actually booted. My issue is that I can't find a recovery that actually works properly for this device, likely because it's been locked up until this point. I'll keep searching, and if need be I will have to try and make my own.
SM-G730W8
can ı ask a question ? is i8200 and SM-G730W8 same phones ?
I don't believe that they are the same phone. Otherwise, when I tried the recoveries designed for them, than it would have loaded.

Question is quite simple - trying to load spanish as a generic language support in the canadian version g730w8...
Cannot find a way to load it up. I figure that i747m can be converted somewhat to t999 american version..
can g730w8 s3 mini be converted to GT-I9195L the latin american version to add language support if so How?
Are there any simpler ways to go by this?
I do not want to use morelocale or other apps to just enable half half support but rather change the whole device into a spanish version..
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately, you cannot convert the SM-G730W8 into the GT-I9195 because the hardware of the 2 devices are different. If you flashed a GT-I9195 ROM to the SM-G730W8, you would brick your phone. I personally have no experience with changing to entire system's language to Spanish so I don't really know how to point you in the right direction.
