[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grcd:
Dear all,

I have a Legend with S-ON (1.01), and I used fake-flash to change ROMs. The mobile phone has been fine with a custom ROM for more than 3 months now.

Suddenly, 3 days ago, the phone rebooted while browsing settings and when it came back on, the device could not recognize the SIM card or connect to the network and get a signal.

The problem is weird because the device (a) can find networks if I search for them, (b) can make emergency calls, (c) connects normally to both wi-fi and the SIM 3G internet but does not:

- get signal (always zero lines)

- recognize the sim card (always asks me to rescan for new contacts, and the process fails)

I tried wiping everything, I tried reflashing, I tried flashing another ROM. The problem persists.

Would flashing a new RADIO potentially help? It is the only thing I have not tried.

I am really at a loss here. The device did not fall down, or had a knock or any other user damage. The problem started suddenly and i can'f find a way out of it.

Anyone who manages to find me a solution gets a paypal beer :)

PS: Something important is that the phone DOES know that SIM card is there, and DOES partially recognize it: I am asked to put my SIM card PIN, which is accepted correctly.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Romca:
Hey :)

What I'd do:

1.)Try the SIM in another device - could be a SIM problem...

2.) As you are 1.01, there is no risk in Warranty repair, so unroot and send back to shop if the sim proves OK in another device..
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QkSi1ver:
Probably a stupid suggestion but i had at one point no service when my battery cover was not on...

When i was rooting mine, i kept the battery cover off because i was stuck so many times in the middle of running step 1... so never bothered putting the battery cover on...

after i succeeded in rooting, i still saw no service... but as soon as i put the battery cover on , i was able to pick up the network
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeifAlbor:
@QkSi1ver: The Legend's antenna is located in the battery cover, which is why you would have had no reception with it removed.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappilion:
Which could be the reason for the SIM problems : if it is not set correctly it can't communicate proper with the mobile , that's why it asks for searching for contacts ( I had a similar problem a few months ago )
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlotte.lancia:
no network signal!

i don´t believe it! first of all, thank u kindly for ending my nightmarish odyssey through expert forums across the globe!

that just did the trick, uber cool! and yet it sucks, because i wasted most of my sunday and half of today to solve this, wondering why nobody even mentioned connection probs.

maan, i´m tired, i´m going to bed! :)
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I'll be honest. The NC confuses me slightly when it comes to how to root, flash ROMs, etc. compared to my Incredible, it feels like day and night.

I made a thread about a month ago about wanting to learn the process but since then it has changed greatly with the 1.2 update.

I would really like if someone could detail out to me the steps I need to root and have CM7 on the NC.

I have questions that are probably answered right in front of me but they get lost in the vast amount of posts.

Since the eMMC is pretty much canceled out for the time being, I want to run CM7 off the SD card, I've already read a Sandisk Class 2 8 or 16GB is the right card for this, how the hell do I put CWM, CM7, etc on this one SD card or am I supposed to use 2-3 different cards for the process? Then what do I do from there?

What is the most stable, but feature packed release of CM7 at this point in time, like what build, which kernel, etc.? Market and GAPPS working?

Assuming the SD card is good, does running off the SD card impact performance or is it as slick as running off the internal?

Pretty much I'm starting from dead scratch when it comes to the NC and I feel the guide threads don't do enough justice to explain certain questions fully enough or at all?

If it helps at all, I just plan to download apps, internet browse, stream music from Mougg, little or no game playing, and overclock.

So someone please help me out? It's not like I know nothing, as I have a rooted and kept up to date phone but for some reason, the NC confuses me and I may be overthinking.

If I remember any more questions, I'll list them. Thanks.

The link above is for emmc installs; if you want to install to the sd card, and it's your first time, I highly recommend Verygreen's install here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

I was able to get my SD card up in running in under a half hour with Google apps market! Verygreen really does a great job explaining how to do this.

From my experience, a Sandisk Class 4 8 gig card works VERY well...very responsive, it will run as well or possibly better than stock 1.2. I know that CM7 is up to 7.0.3 stable, but I'm sticking with 7.0.2 until 7.1.0 comes out stable; everything is running fine, I have Netflix up and running with the boot.prop mod, and the only issue is battery life, which is a bit less than stock 1.2. Once 7.1.x is stable, I expect that to be fixed, and I'll be looking to flash to emmc, but for now this gives me all I need.
[Nook Color General] brucemcl:
Plus one for the size agnostic method in Goferbroke's post. Simple and stable.

I'm running 7.0.3 stable without any major problems. For battery life, I installed Auto WiFi Toggle, free in the Android Market.

Still looking for answers.

[Nook Color General] Briaom:
I agree with Goferbroke and brucemcl and recommend Verygreen's method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I am fairly technical, but not at this level. I have never worked with a card reader, SD Card, Win32DiskImager, etc., and everything went fine.

A couple things I would recommend are: read through the entire thread - you will find some steps clarified and some issues others have run into, and; when rebooting to install the Market and Gapps, hold the 'n' button down, even after you release the power button.

The process just requires one SD card and a card reader. I personally chose the most recent Release Candidate for stability (update-cm-7.0.0-RC4-encore-signed.zip). However, I believe that I am in the minority - I have read where most people use a recent 'stable' release, which is newer than the latest RC.

The research I did does not indicate that running off the SD Card is any faster or slower than running off the eMMC. But, I have not run CM7 on the eMMC, so I have no performance benchmarks to share.

I have since installed a number of applications, a boot menu (u-boot_v0.4.bin) and am currently looking at ways to disable the 'Phone idle' and 'Cell standby' applications, which I don't think can be used on the NC, but are two of the highest battery consumers.
[Nook Color General] Hangman_:
To my understanding, the 'phone idle' & 'cell standby' are the equivalent of 'system idle' & 'system processes' on a PC. I don't think these can be disabled and still have a workable tablet.
[Nook Color General] Hangman_:
Be patient. I spent three weeks reading through all the posts and I'm still confused.

I just put CM7 on an SD card this morning. So far, so good.

First, I read the post < Barnes & Noble Nook Color - Nook Color Android Development - [Ref] Nook Color Links |Guides|How To|Utilities| Etc. 12/26 Read FIRST =) > (sorry, don't know how to put links in a quick reply yet). Read the 4th post, starting at the top of the post, pick the first link, then the second, then the third. This guide is really good. That is what you need to understand it. Then read the 3rd post and pick the link.

This is the generic image you will burn to your SDcard using WinImager (if you are using a Windows PC). After burning your SDcard, unmount it from the PC and then remount it, Then you will be able to see the boot partition. COPY the CM7 ...-encore.zip you wish to use to the card, DO NOT UNZIP it, just copy it to the SDcard. Then unmount the SDcard from your PC and put it into the NC and power the NC.
[Nook Color General] noblerinthemind:
I used verygreen's method but I'm on 7.02. Having said that I think you mean Sandisk Class 4 8gb, not class 2. FYI.

For a more detailed look at Verygreen's method I found the below link helpful:

http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...c4-android-2-3-gingerbread-on-the-nook-color/

Hope that helps.

It's pretty easy and people will help you here if you have any problems.
[Nook Color General] akaCat:
The class only applies to the sequential speed. The random read/write speed seems to depend on.... I dunno, pixie dust? Differences in how clean the clean rooms are? Either way, some of the class 2 Sandisks have outperformed the class 4s in the random benchmark.

I'd go with either a class 2 or class 4 Sandisk, whichever one you find at a reasonable price. I've had good luck with both an 8GB class 2 and a 16GB class 4.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] n8nmad:
I have tried cm7 with varied results. When I tried Dalingrin's latest CM7 2.6.32 I believe Bluetooth was outstanding compared to the other cm7 builds. I had some other issues with that build that I need to experiment with but if anyone is interesting in docking a nook with a keyboard, headphones, or microphone. I recommend giving his thread a look at:

Go to first new post

[DEV] CM7 Developers Thread **2.6.32 Beta 3.1** [5/13/11]

everyone is so interested in overclocking you could miss the improvements in the unadvertised BT capabilities!

Cheers Dalingrin, If I sort something interesting out I'll post. I only tried it one time but the potential is there.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Heuser1:
So I wired my younger brother the money to pick up my phone in the US and send it back with my grandparents who are there visiting... He went to AT&T today and they denied him the ability to purchase me the phone off contract. He said he tried for a little, but they kept saying that they would not sell it to him off contract. I told him to try and go back if he can, but he might not be able to due to work and my grandparents leaving soon.

Can AT&T actually deny selling the phone off contract? I told him that if he is able to go back, to tell them that it is being sold from AT&T stores for $549.00 and to ask how it is possible for them to deny the sale.

I understand that they dont make money selling phones, but rather the service, but to just deny him is crazy...

Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

Thanks everyone! Have been at this android thing for almost a year and I am still without one...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Towle:
I have never heard of them denying someone to purchase a phone off contract. Tell him to go to Target or Wal Mart they sell att phones off contract.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Heuser1:
I'm not sure if there is one near him unfortunately... I guess I should mention he lives in Boston at the moment, not cool on the part of the AT&T he went to.

Do you happen to know how much Walmart and Target are selling them for?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
they can deny anything to anyone. but you can buy it on there website. they dont want to run out and are hoping that this will attract many new contracts so they prefer to sell to new subscribers. my att reps dont care either way and i had the option to buy outright, i shoulda taken that option but it is too late now. im not sure if i can cancel an early upgrade in the first month like a new contract.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
about $50-$100 more as far as i can tell but some regions are jacking up the price even in the at store. i think it is $579 on att's website. my store is $549 but some stores may be $600 or more
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Papi4baby:
Is he a ATT customer. It is true they wont sell to non customers and they dont have to.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Heuser1:
Crazy how some places jack up the price like that. The reason I cannot order it online is because I would have to pay a 16% tax for it to get through customs here in the Dominican Republic. So i have been trying to coordinate with friends and family that have been in the US and this was my big chance so say.

Pretty annoyed about this, seems like everytime I try to get a phone i am unsuccesful for one reason or another. Already had the issue with the G2X not being quad-band.

I hope he was able to go back this evening and get it... Not sure what to do next if that doesn't work out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jthornton71707:
Ya. Inspire was $399 off contract at att. Went to buy at best buy because I had a 10% coupon and they wanted $599 for the thing! No.thanks! I'd call corporate and complain about the store. Either way its bad customer service for them to turn you down like that. "Can I give you $550 for this item" rep "no" ... "only $199" doesn't make sense. I'd raise hell. I realize they make money off the data plans and.contracts and how att works but either way you look at it that's poor customer relations and incorrect information directly from a.corporate store.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tanman21:
Best buy will always price match. I have done it with many off contract phones there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Alex2x3:
I don't think the infuse is only 399 off contract anywhere. I just looked online on att.com and its 550. If you can show me where to get it for 400 bucks I'm buying right now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deanhatescoffee:
Off topic - I hate you because you have a Transformer and I don't. :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] galaxyjeff:
I'm not sure I'd plunk down that much for the infuse anyway. It has the same gps issues as the captivate and nexus s phone. To me I'd buy an iPhone and have your brother send it along with your grandparents or even an atrix. I like my phones to work right.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the gps if far better than the galaxy s phones. trust me on that. it can use altered settings as it has quirks but the gps is not the same hardware or drivers and is by far improved
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DrGreenLeaf:
Was at at&t store and thought I remember seeing off contract price of $549.00 I am in KC, Mo.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AllTheWay:
As long as you have a active account with AT&T then they will sell you a phone out of contract or no commitment pricing. If you don't have a account they don't have to sell it to you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bragOS:
+++ Inventory is thin right now. They would rather sell that phone with a contract, which they probably did short after. Or if not, at least sell to a current customer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] holyhacker:
Do you happen to know what store in Boston he went to? I live in Boston and was able to buy one from the Downtown Crossing store with no issues. Just be nice to the AT&T reps and don't look/act like a grey market reseller
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
Yes, AT&T rep told me that first couple of weeks no AT&T store will sell a new phone without contract.

You have to go to bestbuy for that. I bought mine there for $599 without contract.

Another option is online purchase from AT&T's website for $549 without contract, but there may be some issues with that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
Just happened to me today as i got my Infuse...

ATT store said that they do not sell new phones off contract for the first month after release....

I had to go to Radio Shack to buy the phone...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Heuser1:
Cousin tried to get it for me in NY just now to send it back with a buddy tomorrow and he was denied at an ATT store... Just my luck. This is getting old.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Towle:
You have to go to a walmart or target. If he is in the US I can almost guarantee he doesn't live too far from one.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] daveop:
I went to my local AT&T corporate store in Chicagoland today, and they sold it to me off-contract no problem. He even sat down and helped me set it up. It crashed twice when he was holding it, lol! But it has been perfect ever since, I think it was just all the syncing of my google apps and contacts that got it confused.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spyke24:
I used an i phone, after 2 years with an android, and it sucked. I have the infuse and it's an amazing phone. I've had 0 problems with it. I came from the Evo, My friend looked at the Atrix. I wish he would have gotten it, instead of the captivate.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sraitter:
To brick or not to brick ... is there a CWM you suggest i attempt from?

EDIT: not to brick ... waiting patiently.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
Any way I can flash this via Odin?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
Don't do it. I made the mistake of trying to force Captivate's on mine and I'm bricked now. Just hang around and wait for CWM to officially come out for Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
No. If I had the device I could make it Odin flashable, but there's no way that I know of to create/modify rfs images without a Samsung device.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Much appreciated! Debating trying this on my own but it seems smarter to at least wait for CWM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
you can mod3e recovery and it may flash through there. i will see if it is the same locations as the capitvae, it if is close then you can use a batch script in windows that will abd everything for you. otherwise it is pretty easy after you have root which is also done in a batch script from lost1 or with superoneclick root.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Yeah I have root all set, the problem is with no CWM is if I flash this and something doesn't work I have no way home. No other rom or backup to flash.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
One of you should email Koush. He will work with you to get the info he needs to make a recovery for the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Sounds like a good plan, will do. (done)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lost1:
I have the device. I'm willing to make it if you provide me with the info to make it Odin flashable.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] suineg:
Yup I am pretty ambitious also.

Hoping for some progress on that front tomorrow.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
It's a pretty tedious process so probably better to just wait for CWM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
I'm bricked myself so really, to only thing I CAN do now is wait for an Odin image. That's about the only reason why I'd want it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
How did you brick it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
Tried flashing on a Captivate kernel/ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
With Odin or did the Captivate CWM work for you?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lost1:
I'm not worried about tedious, rather know the ins and outs. Let me know if you change your mind.

Same, I have an iPhone 4 as my 'production' phone if it comes to that.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
For New York Tbolt owners, can you advise if your phone is working in eHRPD mode. Since the natiowide outage I have been on LTE and no matter what I try my phone doesn't show eHRPD.

Verizon said there are no network issues but I can't figure out what is wrong..
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
whats ehrpd?
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
It's the transitional network for CDMA to LTE. The bolt should have eHRPD instead of Rev-A for Mobile Network Type when using 3G. During the outage, eHRPD and LTE were out which is why people were able to manually set their phones to default to EVDO Rev-A and get 3G data back. The so called fix Verizon made was more of a bandaid fix that defaulted all phones to Rev-A without having to go into the settings. Believe eHRPD came back up sometime last week. Required a reboot for me to pick it back up.
[Thunderbolt General] chadstone30:
i live on the upper east side. i'm running CM7. when my "Network Mode" is set to "CDMA + LTE / EvDo" my "Mobile network type" is listed as "LTE." when i'm on "CDMA / EvDo Auto" my mobile network type is "CDMA - EHRPD." don't know what all that stuff would be if you were running stock sense.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
Nevermind, i think I just spaced out for a moment. When the phone is set to CDMA + LTE / EvDo auto it should show LTE under network settings, correct? but when it defaults to 3G it will show the eHRPD setting?

I hope thats it..
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
yeah, you should only see eHRPD when you're connected to 3G only.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
Thank you vm

[Thunderbolt General] churro7:
Is it faster than Rev a or just a different version

[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
Different version, same slow speeds.
[Thunderbolt General] allquixotic:
eHRPD had been working fine for me for days in Maryland, but about 25 minutes ago, it died out again and has remained out.

I'm able to get EvDO Rev. A by disabling eHRPD (requires a phone reboot, grrr) but I can get neither EvDO nor LTE with eHRPD enabled. I can't even get 1x with eHRPD enabled, no matter whether I tell it CDMA PRL or LTE Only or the Auto selection.

Aside from that, LTE had been variously dropping out in the evening and through the night. For all of those dropouts until about 20 minutes ago, I could seamlessly switch to EvDO over eHRPD without losing my IP address allocation, and resume whatever I was doing. But with having to disable eHRPD now just to get any kind of data connection, we're back to 2006. :mad:

They seem to have no shortage of 10 - 45 minute outages of LTE and/or eHRPD after midnight; hardly seems like "America's Most Reliable Network" anymore. Maybe they're borrowing a page from landline Verizon's DSL service, which has an uptime of about 40 hours a week here.
[Thunderbolt General] major_works:
Since the big outage, I'd been showing eHRPD as the mobile network type. Until this morning, that is. I had 3G/4G on the train from north Jersey but when I exited airplane mode upon emerging from the 14th St. PATH station, I was on 1X.
[Thunderbolt General] ilogik:
When I am on Rev A I average 500k down 800k up but on eHRPD I get 1.5 to 2 down and 1 up.

eHRPD has been back for me since about last week, I am in Pomona NY.
[Thunderbolt General] mdeblaz:
Work in Midtown and live on Upper East Side. I have the LTE radio turned off. I've been on the eHRPD network since it went back up... i think a week ago? Before that I was on Rev A.
