[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Ill take a stab at it, but im probably wrong :) The way I understand the difference is how HB 1.14 is partitioned in a way that is blocked and only accessible through bootloader and fastboot adb for 1.14 and older versions are not. Some one chime in with the wrong buzzer for me maybe?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
I do believe you are correct, if not fully correct, partly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
1.14 versus prior:

It at least blocks write access to some partition under some circumstances.

Eg:

-boot partition(includes kernel) is only writable from the bootloader, not from recovery.

-radio partition is only writable by RUU.

It may include other changes that have not been noticed. The below is only suggestions of things that may have been improved but may not

Eg:

-improvements in resilience to some faults that could end in bricked phones.

-improvements to tests to verify only signed code is being written to critical partitions

PS. the locking of the boot partition is not a new concept to HTC.

TWRP has previously released workarounds for other phones which involved flashing TWRP to boot instead of recovery to overcome the lock.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Boot partition is writeable while booted into system as well, this is how dumlock works

I do believe the radio partition can be wrote while booted into system as well. And probably other partitions.

Its just the recovery partition that is locked down

But you're right this isn't a new concept, this was just a fluke being able to flash kernels in recovery. Usually its locked down

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nicelysedated:
So I was trying to play with kitchen and flashed a ROM I made with it to my phone. To say I was unsuccessful would be an understatement. After much tinkering I am finally able to boot the phone up and get it running in both Recovery and Download modes also. The problem now is that I lost most of the contents of my EFS folder so it shows no IMEI or baseband. I have tried flashing modems and restored to stock with ODIN with no luck. Is there a way to get a copy of someone elses /EFS and edit it with my information? Thanks for any help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] trevor7428:
I could send you a copy of mine. But idthink it works like that. If someone can confirm all efs are same on every phone would gladly help

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyinid:
In the GS3 sections there are tutorials for how to restore your imei. Some of the dialing codes are probably different but you should be able to use that to restore your imei. Would be worth a try

Thanks for the help. Gonna have to return the phone as my partitions are messed up now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NuVanDibe:
I suggest you try to repartition with Odin, and inject your IMEI info, if retrievable, into a donor EFS. No clue if it'd work, though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scoutsdoitbetter:
First off I want to say that this site is amazing, over the past week I have learned so much off here. So to all the moderators/developers "Here's to you Sirs"

My question involves the Liquid Smooth JB ROM. I love the ROM but Im having some issues. I did a lot of research before I even attempted to root my device and install anything (my wife actually told me not to lol) Anyways I rooted and installed the Clockwork recovery touch. Moved the ROM and Gapps onto my external SD, and installed both. Had no issues. After a few days I went to move some photos over to my SD and now my phone will not recognize my external SD. It doesnt show up in any of the explorer apps I have, nor will Clockwork recognize it. I tried to hook my phone to the computer to see if I could find it and it doesnt show up there either.

What do I need to do to get my phone to recognize an external SD again.

Also my 2nd not so important question is, does the liquidsmooth ROM support 4G LTE? Before I rooted my signal icon would show as either 4G or LTE, now it only shows H+. I did a speed test and it seems like Im getting the same 4G speed its just not showing as 4G. Is this something in the ROM or something with my phone and can it be fixed.

Thx in advance for any info regarding either of these issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheMrRoxtar:
Not sure bout the first but the second question...ur answer is H+ is the same thing as 4G...just different icon...not sure why it changed on you but its the same

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25980-sgh-i717ucle2-official-leak/

It's a long shot ...but the above link is a complete ICS leak rom for this device.

The source link is older, but several other users have pushed this file and restored function to the sd card.

The image contains the full PIT file structure, baseband etcetera, and will restore the device to complete stock.

Flash counter excluded of course ...but that's easy.

You likely have partition damage in the #4 partition, which houses the other 4.

The device has 5 total, and something causes damage.

I personally think that CWM is doing the damage, but I can't prove it ...yet

If you are willing to take a long shot, then push the file by using Odin.

It should work...but as always....you do this at your own risk.....as STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CCL X10:
I am having this same issue. Except I am using AOKP JB and TWRP recovery. External SD worked fine for about the first month with AOKP. Then at random it started to dismount its self. I would get notifications of a bad or damaged SD card, or unexpected removal of SD card. Reformatted, didn't help.

That lasted a week or 2, then it stopped completely and just like OP, I can not locate my external sd by phone, or computer, its like the slot is empty. That was months ago. I kind of gave up on it.

I will probably be returning to stock and having the device replaced under warranty anyway, due to my USB charging port failing.

P.S. This is the 2nd time I have had a charging port on the note go bad and be replaced under warranty...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scoutsdoitbetter:
If I flash that ICS ROM and it restores the SD card can I then flash back to the JB ROM? I was kinda tired of ICS. I'll keep looking around but I may have to take it back to factory and reset flash counter so I can just get a new one. Would getting a new SD card work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Test your SD card first, before doing any work on roms.

If you flash the ICS leak, it will take away root, and you will have to push CWM back too the device via Odin.

After that, you can flash any rom you wish.

This leaked build is a full build, and will restore stock function to the device anyway, (minus the flash counter) and is a good test when searching out partition problems etc.

But yes, do the SD card test first....g
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeanuKe:
I have a 16 GB Nexus 4 from the play store, however, it is now displaying 5.7 GB total on the phone. I have used the phone for about a month now and it has always had a total of about 13 GB of storage in that time. This happened after I did a full wipe of my phone and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 (12/31/12) nightly build on my device. I have since erased everything completely and reverted back to stock JB (4.2.1) following these directions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36068405 . However, I still only have 5.7 GB of storage. Has anyone else experienced this and is there any way to figure out what happened or how to get my storage back? Thanks in advance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie25188:
Before I start, Yes, I am new to the forums, and people can call me a noob if I did genuinely made a mistake posting here haha.

I was due for an upgrade on the 6th December just past. I didn't think there were two different models of this type of mobile, until I found it last week that I cannot upgrade my storage. I found out my model is an N7105 and was told that model isn't designed for rooting or whatever that Samsung guy said at the store.

I don't know if I am too late to stop this contract as I was told from Citizen Advice Bureau that I can still cancel it because it's not fit for purpose and it was false pretense.

I am quite frustrated and Annoyed due to the fact only to finding out that I cannot extend my storage nearly end of my 30 days. Wow...just wonderful!

Not only I’m stuck with this contract with 24 months on the papers, yet I am limited to space.

So, I'm in a difficult position here lol.

What can I do?

I have some pics but due to being a newbie here I can't post any links.

I've tried removing the sd card and putting it back in.

Any advice or any direction in this situation would be very helpful.

P.S. I forgot to say ‘’Happy New Year’’

Hi I tried connecting my device to my computer after holding down the buttons to get into APX mode. And after about 5 seconds I heard a connection sound then Windows told me the USB device malfuntioned. Any idea why?? I'm trying to fixed my friend's soft bricked tablet which cannot get into fastboot mode.
[Transformer TF300T General] wha2do:
A couple of quick thoughts if it's not the device itself: check to make sure the cable is good, try a different USB port, and try re-installing the drivers (using the Universal Naked drivers, specifically the APX one included in the package). I've had troubles on one pc where it would connect and disconnect - it was either the USB port acting flaky or the OEM cable I was using...

Watching Windows device manager, is it showing it as an APX device or something else before it disconnects? Also, what kind of error?

Hopefully some others may have added suggestions...good luck!
[Transformer TF300T General] firtvid20:
Ah I seemed to fix it when I held down the volume button while the tablet was off and plugged it in. Thanks for the help!
[Transformer TF300T General] wha2do:
No problem at all and glad to hear it wasn't a complicated fix! With APX and other modes, do have the two methods. Holding both buttons at same time, but I do find somehow it doesn't always recognize them (maybe I'm not holding the volume button solidly?). As worked for you, the other option is to have it powered off, hold the volume button, and then plugging it in to get it to power on and go into APX mode (remembering it's just a black screen but can tell by checking Windows device manager - mostly mentioned for any others that may come across this!).

If have more questions on the rest of the restore process, might be good to start a fresh post for the remaining steps. Good luck with getting it back up and going!

But flashing modems isnt going to do nothin at all.

OP GO TO THE GALAXY S3 FORUMS FOR TMOBILE find and download those tools.
