I use a Voyager Pro UC+ on my Sprint Note 2 and now on my Note 3. I disabled S-Voice hoping Google had finally fixed this, but no luck. It managed to get every name I tried to call wrong, not even close to what I said. S-Voice on the other hand works perfectly every time.

Come on Google, how can you do so many things right and not get this comparatively simple thing working?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davy49:
Hi,

This morning I was going to boot into cwm recovery mode, that's when my problem started. Instead of holding the volume + button along with the power button, I mistakenly pressed the volume - button instead. Now my gtab has the black screen ( apx mode ), my question is..can I go inside and just press the internal reset button to correct my problem ? I'm still running the Team DRH Beta 1.2 ROM, that's why I wanted to do a backup, I'm trying to avoid losing the software that installed currently.

Thanks,

David :crying:

Looks like you're in regular APX mode and not "stuck" in it. Just power off the gTab, then power on normally.

Does anyone from Brazil (or some near country) received the ICS OTA? I'm back to 2.3.6 - just to see how the update is going here - and not even a clue about the OTA.

Hi! I'm from Uruguay.

F: drive comes up but cannot be accessed

can be seen in ADB devices as:

HTCxxxxxxxxxxxxx RECOVERY

*NO* fastboot... (not seen)

Cannot install RUU...

any help appreciated - can anything be done?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It would help to diagnose the problem, if you first tell us what you did to cause this? Best to be honest, saves time.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edikat:
I was using AAHK (Advanced Hack kit) and it was running OK until it popped up a windows dialog box asking for Qualcomm CDMA driver MSM (similar to the device I now see in device manager).

I wasn't sure what to do so I stopped there.

After that I couldn't reboot (screen always black) and am in this situation :(

I have tried EVERYTHING!

I can push/pull from ADB but "adb shell" tells me /bin/sh is missing.... but in Linux I can copy over /system/bin and /system/lib (from another droid) and then I can adb to root shell (at least until reboot as I am then in a temporary build).. if I then run /sbin/recover I get the red triangle recovery screen.... that's about as far as I got.... I don't have linux here though so I may not immediately be able to get the shell, as I can't change the perms of the pulled droidn stuff that I push.

I am pulling my hair out!!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edikat:
the only thing I can do is get root adb!

no fastboot

can anybody tell me how to reflash a radio through adb?

to an mmcblk....

may help?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mamnarock:
I having a too similar issue!

I used the AAHK to root and s-OFF, until it finished the phone reboot and got this state.

Putting off the battery with luck (I dont know how or why) I can start the phone 3 times... but every time I restart it stuck.

I installed 4EXTRecovery and format all (except sd card) and installed a custom ROM "Erebus", I tough that I fix it with it, but still stucking every time I restarted the device...

EDIT:

It start again...

1. put off the battery

2. wait 20 seconds

3. put the battery back

4. wait <>10 min (I shouldn't say exactly how much)

5. turn on the phone

The last time it works in that way.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edikat:
I have tried this... no luck :(

I think the phone totally dead for ever.

It's annoying that I can get adb and root shell "#" and can have access to everything yet cannot get anything to work.

All I can do is put the phone in "recovery" mode. But that is useless...

thanks darunion!

I need to know, with a root shell via ADB can I re-install the the radio?

Actually I dd the eng bootloader to the appropriate mmcblk... but nothing has changed!!

DHD...

need to flash via adb as I haven't got fastboot (doesn't see phone with fastboot devices)

think bootloader is corrupt?? radio is corrupt for sure!

can use flash_image (and gfree if any use?)

getprop shows ro.cid totally corrupt!!!

ro.baseband 26.03.02.26_M

ro.bootloader 0.85.0007 (this is HBOOT!!)

I can also dmesg... and get complete log from kernel booting...

I can see during dmesg on initial boot (Kernel command line:) that the androidboot.cid is totally *corrupt* (crappy strange characters)

if the kernel boots why doesn't the screen come up???

Also:

in dmesg

msmfb_probe() installing 480 x 800 panel

mdp_lcdc_probe: initialized (probably probing for the display???)

...some stuff....

err: Device config mismatch

is this where the screen fails?

also :)

Issuing reboot from adb root shell # and the phone vibrates continuously and green led flashes!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edikat:
OK, a little further

running from adb root shell

/sbin/recovery update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip

gets me to a green circle with an arrow... and a progress bar and a little sdcard

this soon bombs to a red question mark and everything stops

I did pull the cable on the green circle and the power went off, when I plugged it back in the HTC logo came up (Green on white background) butt went straight to the red question mark!!!!

arghhhhh

even further.... up arrow and power during red question mark...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 ..... (the SD Card)

Getting closer I hope. (Stays like this even with fresh formatted card)

(I tried an internal flash upgrade that didn't get pass the red question mark for some reason)

It seems I am booting into a ramdisk.... I need somehow to get the sdcard back (by forcing off qualcomm diagnostics mode from adb if possible?)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edikat:
I guess I can recover these ways.. any help appreciated!!

1. "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" somehow from adb (I don't have fastboot) so that an /sbin/recovery can retrieve the PD98IMG.ZIP from the sdcard and reinstall stock

2. Somehow rewrite the bootloader from the root shell (dd to an mmcblk) - I have done this for boot/recovery but seems to make no difference

3. Somehow get fastboot back so I can use it, at the moment I can't get fastboot to recognize the device no matter what I do (bootloader ******).

4. make PD98IMG.ZIP (or whatever) persistent in storage to allow me to access it on an /sbin/recovery reboot (somehow get it into /data which at the moment isn't persistent across reboots).

Anything else?

Don't think I need to jtag a device that can still be accessed through a root shell?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edikat:
OK

mounted /data manually and stuck in PD98IMG.zip

/sbin/recovery --update_package=DATA:PD98IMG.zip

gets

E: Signature verification failed

I have tried original RUU extracted images!!! and others but still the same message!!!

I wonder whether the /res/keys public key is HTC's!

Is there an unsigned 3e patched recovery version available for DHD?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] quitofire532:
Okay, so I have looked into the other posts about people not having anything in their /efs folder. So I bought an i957r from Rogers. Rooted it and have su and busybox installed. Astro shows that my /efs folder is empty. My IMEI is perfectly fine, all of my data services work, and I am sure root is installed. When I run the adb shell to pull my nv_data.bin, it tells me the file doesn't exist, and when I pull it from the sdcard, it is an empty file. Any ideas as to why that folder would be empty?

Also on a side note, if I was to factory reset it, with root installed, would it damage my device? The only reason I want to reset it is to get the /efs folder. Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
Astro is lying to you. Astro also shows /efs to be empty on my ATT device, but if i get a root shell, it is NOT empty.

This is due to the default permissions on the /efs folder:

# ls -l | grep -i efs
drwxrwx--x system radio 2012-06-15 10:04 efs

Note the lack of read permissions for other users (not user system or member of group radio). If you change the permissions on the folder, say via:

# chmod 775 /efs
# ls -l | grep -i efs
drwxrwxr-x system radio 2012-06-15 10:04 efs

Astro would then should you the files in that folder. But that's probably not the best way to handle it... Just deal with the efs files from a root shell, not a user-level file browser like Astro.

Interestingly enough, my Tab 8.9, which has been through a hackathon and a half, doesn't have nv_data.bin file.. anywhere. I do have a /efs/redata.bin file, though.

I wonder if the lack of nv_data.bin is related to why my tab started displaying "Search Network Manually" when I turn LTE on, and sometimes randomly whines about an invalid SIM even though it then immediately connects and works like normal... I've been trying to root cause that change for a while, although it seems to have no negative effects. Probably leaving some whacky log entries on the carrier side of things, though... FWTW.

Do you all actually have an nv_data.bin in /efs?

Also, before someone else flames you... this thread does not belong in this forum... Use the main forum for non-development issues :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] quitofire532:
Well thank you for not making me feel completely stupid, I wasn't really sure where to put it. Can you tell me how to move it? So I'm not "that guy"?

But as far as what I have, in the /efs folder, I have redata.bin, but no nv_data.bin and a couple of other files and folders.

I downloaded Root Explorer and it was able to show me what was in that folder. I also searched using that for nv_data... didn't find anything

But while I am already in the wrong forum, can you tell me if doing a factory reset will hurt my device? Also, if I don't have an nv_data.bin file, I can't unlock it, can I? Just hoping you could help. Thanks so much!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
I could be wrong, but I believe only mods can move threads. Never tried, and don't see anything obvious.. Ah well, no big deal.

I wonder if these devices use something different than nv_data.bin? I mean, we both seem to get working LTE service without it, right? Other various posts found via gooogle show several folks that claim their corruption and/or lack of nv_data.bin results in no service.

I highly doubt a factory reset will do any damage, "factory reset" basically means wiping data and cache, which is quite safe. Factory reset doesn't touch /system, /boot, etc. The assumption is that the user never had access to modify /system, so wiping the cache and user data partitions results in a "factory fresh" condition.

No so much after you've haxxored up all sorts of stuff.

If you are looking to get back to as close to stock as possible, you are probably best off starting with the factory ODIN tarball, which I believe is still available on sammobile. It contains the boot, system, recovery, cache and two modem partitions (although it doesn't appear to contain an EFS image).

It would be interesting to see if a virgin device actually has this file. My suspicious is we are both missing this file because it never existed on the i957 in the first place. I believe another vector would be used to unlock the device, instead of the nv_data hack.

Futhermore, I believe the nv in nv_data means nvidia, who makes the Tegra chipset and associated radio modems which are used in devices based on Tegra. The i957 is based on the MSM8660 SOC, a Qualcomm part, which is an entirely different beast than the Tegra solution. Pretty much everything I can find online about hacking up nv_data.bin covers devices that are NOT based on Qualcomm SOCs, which in recent times is most devices not destined for LTE on AT&T or other similar carriers (Rogers/Bell/Telus).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
If you are just changing icons then you can just open up the .apk as a .zip then drop in the corresponding icons that you want to use, and using the correct name. Bear in mind that GB icons are 39x39, and ICS uses 50x50. The icons are located in the /res/drawable-xhdpi folder in the .apk .

The only tools I use is GIMP for resizing/modding the .png, and WinRAR.
