Hi!
I red online some information about "com.android.hiddenmenu" and i tried to follow, for example, this tutorial ( w w w . groovypost . com/howto/howto/access-hidden-menu-android-phone/ ) in order to understandif the smartphone i am holding is new or refurbished but i cannot find that "com.android.hiddenmenu" acitivity.
I also tried to use, on the phone dialer, the key combinations that should trigger the android hidden menu but nothing happens .... anyone knows why? Maybe in android 4.4 and higher did this feature has been canceled? Or maybe it is no more accesible by the user?
Thanks in advance to anyone that will try to answer my questions.
What exactly do you want to do? I've found RTN inside Service Mode activity (see attached image) but I cannot open it, say something like Permission Denied (I don't have root enabled).
Most codes from this page work for me (stock Lollipop):

I don't think you need special codes, probably an app like this one will get you the answer:

Well, online it is sad that dialer code like ##786# and *#*#786#*#* should make the RTN screen appear. I tried these codes both on the samsung galaxy s5 mini (android 4.4) but also on an old sony xperia mini pro (android 4.0) butno one works.
Thanks for pointing out the existence of that android app. I already knew it and it is really usefull. It allows the user to get really a lot of usefull information. But it seems that something is missing ... for example "life timer/calls" , "life byte" , "activation date".
I followed the screenshot that lfom has posted.
com.android.hiddenmenu is not where the two tutorials i have linked before are saying it is.
Under the "Service mode" i can find "RTN" which is described as "com.sec.android.app.servicemodeapp.RTN_View".
However if i try to open this android activity i get a message "application not installed on the phone".
I am running android 4.4 on a full stock non-rooted s5mini G800F.
Anyone has some sugestion?

Hi guys,
First of all I want to tell you guys that I dont have any knowledge in using android OS. So it would be very kind of you if you guys can provide a video tutorial of upgrading the android 1.6 to 2.1 and rooting it.
I am familiar with flashing and customizing windows mobile but I know android is entirely different from that. I hope someone can provide the video tutorial.
Thanks and regards,
Bobby Thomas.
I dont think theres a video out there, tho theres alot of guides around, trust me its really easy rookies do it without ant problems u just need to fallow every step.
Sent from my GT540
I will try and make one for you!
Thats when i get my gt540 back.
In about 1 week
That ok?

e2: rendering the video, but i have to say: my english isnt the best, but its "understandable" we in germany call this "denglisch"
tada.
Thank you guys...
First of all I want to thank DonPanda for the nice video, I also want to thank jealumalai111462, m4nu4l for there valuable suggestions. And most importantly I'm expecting a video tutorial from one of our senior members flyboyovyick.
Regarding the DonPanda's video, I didn't clearly understand the KDZ updater program part as the program was in russian, and also the rooting part. It will be very helpful if you can provide a close up of the various task that we will need to do in the "handset". I couldn't follow anything that you did with the mobile.(I'm sorry to tell you that I am so dumb in android.) And thank you guys for the nice support.
More over I just want to know whether flashing custom ROM can brick the phone? What all steps should I be careful in that case?
Thanks and Regards,
Bobby Thomas.

First u have to download the ROM u want to install. The ending of the file is .KDZ like an *.exe but.. ye... .kdz
After u download the .kdz file, put it in a folder where ever u want. Start the Windowsenabler.exe from the .zip-file in that thread.
Second start the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and choose the in step 1 downloaded .kdz file during pressing the "folder open" button.
After u did this, and ur phone has "Debugging mode" active (Settings -> Applications -> development -> USB Debugging [Check]), pres the field with the many "??? ? ? ? ????? ?????" twice.
The .kdz (ROM) extract itself and install ur costumrom on ur device.

After the new 2.1 Android is installed, reboot ur phone, reset usersettings to fabric standard (Settings -> Privacy -> reset bla).
Download This file, extract to anywhere, connect ur phone via debug and start the "root.bat" file.
Ur phone restarts shortly and vuala, ur device is rooted.

Well, there is everytime a basic risk while flashing ur device. No one can say "ye, it will work for u" or "no, please don't do it!"
Normally the public product works on every Smartphone. As i said - normally.
In percent under 3 %, but... 3 % is much.

U cant do anything. When u'r phone finally bricks, its broken.
In this case u can open a thread here in XDA-board and post ur problem like here and here. As u can see we got nice members who help with handshake.
Refer this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700252
The application works but is in Chinese, it will be good if someone here can translate the language files from Chinese to English.
what does it do?

This is great news. Many thanks :fingers-crossed:
Only problem is your site insist that I register to download
Please load it here so we can download and try (if your restrictions don't allow, get one of us to load it)
Or provide a link where we don't have to register
EDIT:
Found the version mentioned above here and uploaded below
Reports "On WP 7.8 some bugs"
On HD2 with WP7.8 Rom, I found that it would not add to "Block L" (block list) from contacts

the call manager does help me
I have used the call manager for one year. And I remembered there are two versions on windows phone. And I will open the quiet model after 11 o'clocks. It does help, cuz my sleepness was often broken on midnight.. But the call manager has a bug, that is, the refuse call function effect a bit delay.
That's my using experience. I hope this will help you !!
In the process of trying to flash a ROM to my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate I897, I ended up Bricking it. After searching XDA-Developers.com I came across a post about a One Click UnBrick Tool that was made by the XDA-Developer.com User AdamOutler. I'm assuming that I didn't do something correctly while trying to UnBrick my phone, because when I turn it on, The AT&T Boot Screen comes on, and then the word Samsung starts going <- and -> until it eventually freezes, and the left side of the screen turns a Greenish color. My Question is, has anyone EVER seen this screen, and if so, what is it? And How does one fix it? I also have a Video on YouTube, unfortunately this is only my 2nd post on XDA, so I'm currently not able to post my video on here, and when I try to embed it, that doesn't work either. ;-( SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
In case you would like to see my video that is on YouTube.com the link is h t t p : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = q T U I y b 5 3 7 H s [ / u r l ]
Can you get it into recovery mode? If you can, wipe and install a ROM from there.
I haven't seen that happen.
Btw starting two threads about the same exact thing is frowned upon.
Nah I can't get it into recovery or download mode. I don't know what to do. And I couldn't figure out how to post a video in my post and in turn accidentally posted this one and the other. Sorry

I have not have any smartphone yet and I'm going to buy LG 4x HD and I have some questions below :
Is it possible to make an image disk for a smartphone (as same as the one there is for pc) (or a recovery partition) for when I want to roll back all my changes to the phone ?
this must be done through my pc when the cell is connected to it or sth else ?
what do these words mean when you use them for smartphones ?
"root" , "ROM" , "boot loader"

Hi everyone.
As the title says, I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (45mm, if that matters) and I'm having trouble updating it. I can set it up just fine and notifications and everything works correctly. But once I try to update its software, it says "Watch software update: Registration failed" (please see screenshot below).
My Watch is model SM-R840 running Tizen 5.5.0.1, build number R840XXU1BTK1.
Can anyone help me please? I tried googling but couldn't find anything other than some sketchy stuff about flashing new firmware, etc.
I tried it on a Samsung Galaxy phone as well as on a Google Pixel. I tried resetting, etc., but nothing seems to work...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your response. Can you let me know how to do that? I'm not that familiar with flashing firmware on watches so I'm out of my element a bit.

I am able to check my CSC and I did enable develop options but it doesn't even seem to connect to the update server (please see screenshot).
I would appreciate it if you could help me figure out what is going on with my watch...
