Question for those who have this issue.

How many of you have access to a 32bit Win XP PC?

The best method for dumping a useful set of NV items to try and understand what is happening in the radio is QPST Software Download using the Backup tab.

In order to do this you need to use a 32bit system because the 5.9.1 prerelease driver set we have that supports the M/HD and properly loads the Qualcomm diagnostic devices is only 32 bit. There has not been a 64bit release of this version. These device interfaces are loaded when you boot into BP Tools mode and make using the Qualcomm software tools to read the NVM about 100x faster and avoid the need for Hardware Virtual Serial Port to create a COM port for QPST.

If we can get a look at the NVM or perhaps even use QXDM for realtime monitoring of the radio, we can begin to understand the issue better.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmonkey57:
Tried that but it didn't work... Still no radio...

The best I can do is install XP 32bits in a Virtualbox VM... Dunno if QPST can properly access the phone through the virtual USB though... Let me know if that would work (also please note that I'll be returning the phone to Motorola on monday morning (CET).

All right, XP SP3 installed in a VM... Could you please provide me with appropriate QPST and driver download links?

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Found QPST 2.7.378. Still need the 5.9.1 pre-release drivers you mentioned...

With QPST EFS Explorer, I seem to have a full access to lotsa system stuff, including NV items, but I can't figure out which one would be related to IMEI, how dangerous it would be to tweak, ...

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Ran RF NV Manager and I confirm that NV Item 550 is gone. WIll try to recreate it... (I'm afraid I will screw my phone even more...)

O my god, I think it worked! My IMEI and IMEI SV are both back!!!! I don't have time now, but I promise I will report tonight. That will give me some time to test my radio and my phone and boot the device a few times.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Nice job! Sorry I was asleep...here's to self sufficiency! Congratulations!

So happy to be wrong about the ability to write it back!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmonkey57:
Thank you for providing us with your knowledge! Found the tools and procedures on xda forums. So far so good. Will post some details either tonight or tomorrow. Sorry guys I can't post sooner but trust me, you'll soon recover your IMEI. Make sure you have an XP 32 bits ready (works also in a Virtualbox vm). And look for qpst and pre release drivers on xda. I'll post more details later.

Great news !!!

I am less afraid to flash now ^^

Waiting for the method (and french trad xD)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
I think the key to writing it back maybe the fact that it was showing 0.

I never blanked mine before attempting to write to it because I didn't want to risk my phone.

This is very important knowledge and we should learn a lot from the solution and methods.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmonkey57:
I see. I can confirm there was no nv 550 at all and I had to create it.

Now let's get the methods posted and get a clearer understanding of what is actually happening.

Then we can claim complete success!

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaktuss77:
oh,

I have do this with Windows 7 64Bits ;)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Care to explain your exact procedures?

I am aware that you can read and write NV in 64 bit Windows using the right tools, but using the QC interfaces is faster for dumping the backup file, which I suggested as a way to diagnose the problem. There are many ways to write a single NV item to actually repair the IMEI.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacariz:
downlad link files please

Hi, can we have a download link for beta drivers ? 5.9.1 plz and maybe a toturial,

Thanks and good job !

*** U win !! Perfect !! hahahaha ***
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaktuss77:
I have not used the beta drivers but normal motorola drivers.

under 7 64bit, when you connect the phone previously started in "BP tool" (android starts normally in this mode)

you will have in the device list windows, a device called "QC Interface". Right click properties. select "install the driver myself"

view the list of devices. go to "com port" and selécionnez manufacturer as "motorola" and "Motorola QC Diag Port" and remember the number of the COM port.

launch QPST follow this tutorial. (only part with QPST) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1802024

you will not find number 550 (imei) must be created.

I will post screenshots tomorrow during the day (it is 10pm in France and I work tomorrow)

Hi

I'm using Dialer 1 on my Galaxy. I like it very much, but there's one item that's driving me mad. Whenever I select (or dial) a number attached to a contact, I get a tiny banner in the middle of my screen announcing 'my contacts' (see attachment). This not only interferes with the numeric keyboard when I'm trying to use it, but due to its size (and my fat fingers) its not easy to get rid of.

Can anyone advise me how to banish this banner forever?

So first download latest sony relese http://www.sendspace.com/file/ekr207

Be sure you have Flashtool instaled.

Drag the ftf file into flashtool and folow the instructiins

Then download this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31910339&postcount=2304

its .img

Flash it with flashtool - disconect your phone from usb. Make sure its powered off. Hold volume up and conect usb. You have to see blue led. then click the first thunder icon and select fastboot mode. Then select kernel to flash and then select the .img you downloaded. Congrats now you have a kernel with in build recovery(however how many roms you flash you will have recovery as long as you dont change kernel. CM kernels also have recovery. Flash kernels with flashtool. To root stock firmware go to androidsu.com and download the latest superuser(cwm flashable and flash it via cwm

Hello,

After I installed 4.1.1 update I have problem with unmounting USB storages. As soon as I unmount storage - the device reboots or paid apps is broken. This problem arises only whis PAID apps.

For example:

installed MX Player free - no problem, with MX Player Pro - device is rebooting.

Similarly no problem with Cute the Rope, and problem with Cute the Rope HD,

Smart keybord free and Smart Keybord paid,

Color and draw for kids HD and other pairs.

Please, help :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] hasenbein1966:
It's really surprising that not more is written about this bug in Jelly Bean, because it's a really serious and annoying bug that makes the tablet in fact unusable for all people who 1) have paid apps on it and 2) want to plug/unplug USB devices on a regular basis!

In the "android-hilfe.de" forum we have found the cause of the problem and possible fixes!

In Jelly Bean (as opposed to previous Android versions) there is the new "app encryption". Now paid apps are installed in the folder "/mnt/asec".

You can view the folder and it's content via ES File Explorer - set the start directory to "/" first in it's settings.

When other mounts in the "/mnt" directory are removed, some strange interaction with the "/mnt/asec" folder happens, and either paid apps stop working or the tablet reboots. (But the reboot is somehow incomplete because then there are Wi-Fi problems etc., so one has to reboot once more.)

A

temporary

solution for the problem is to somehow manage to leave the "/mnt/asec" folder empty - if it is, then the unmounting works without any problems.

This is possible this way:

You have to manage installing your paid apps NOT from the Play Store, but from the SD Card! Surprisingly, then they are not installed to /mnt/asec but to a folder in /data (not viewable on an unrooted device)!

How to do that?

Option 1: Install the same paid apps on an other device (e.g. a smartphone) that is

rooted

.

Then navigate on that device to the folder /data/app.

Search for the names of those apps.

Copy these apps somehow (e.g. with an SD card) on the tablet.

Install the apps on the tablet from there.

Voila, empty /mnt/asec folder, no problems!

Option 2: If the A700 is rooted, then you can simply back up the apps from /mnt/asec to the SD card, uninstall them and then reinstall them from the SD card. Same outcome.

As you see, you have just to look if the /mnt/asec folder is empty, then you won't have any USB problems.

Only problem with these temporary fixes is that you have to repeat this procedure every time an app is updated because the update is installed again in /mnt/asec.

There is an update coming which will solve the problem - some German users are reporting they already have the update and on their devices the paid apps still install to mnt/asec, but the USB unplug bug is gone.

Really annoying, though, that at the Acer service no one seemed to know of this bug when I contacted them...

Best Wishes,

Hasenbein
