[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What problems are you having with data, what issues are you having with entering APNs? My device is CDMA 3G but I'm having to use a CDMA Verizon 4g SIM to have working data, it won't work without the SIM, text works without it but MMS doesn't, can you send and receive MMS? Try using a SIM, it might be the same for you. I discovered the SIM dependency in the ROMs back in November last year and its been there ever since, all the new CM12.x and all the AOSP LP ROMs have the SIM dependency built in, I've worked with more than a few devs on this trying to dev the SIM dependency out of the ROMs for the devices that normally need no SIM but any changes that actually change anything in the SIM dependency completely kills all service altogether, even devices that normally wouldn't need a SIM are having to use one, there is no other way to get data working, at one point last year the SIM wasn't needed, but then it started working its way into being a permanent part of the code, as it progressed the ROMs would receive service for calling and texting but would get no data unless a SIM was inserted, then it progressed into no service whatsoever including calling without a SIM, it takes a SIM to get any of it working because the ROMs are built that way, they reference SIM instead of system, the issue with the SIM reference is at startup when the devices starts the radio, if the SIM isn't there during boot then the radio doesn't turn on even if all the correct modem and RIL files are where they need to be(which is what a non SIM required device would reference to start radio). We have adb chased this to death and the issue was narrowed down to be a java related issue but no further progress in the matter has been made. Even InvisibleK started working on this last year when the SIM dependency started, he dug into it but couldn't make it happen, he didn't even find the fact that it was because the devices were being required to have a SIM until I discovered it and brought it to everyone's attention. The issue was even pushed up the ladder to the CM team but still no progress.

What version of recovery are you using? Did you flash a nightly build of your ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] sonsolesbperez:
I didn't use the nightly one, I downloaded a stable one because with nightly it always says operation aborted. And the recovery is that one right? Xx
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, that is ROM manager, its not a very reliable flashing tool, it would be best to get the newest version of CWM or TWRP custom recovery and flash through it.
[General Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
I say this as I have tried it myself. Use twrp. Much better recovery ( in my own opinion) a lot of people have stated flashing via ROM manger bricks their device.

Here, this is for the i545, there are several different model numbers here, go down the list until you find the i545.

I need a firmware for my android stick Playxtreme 2 ITV102EW,The latest firmware in the official aztech site is 4.0.4 but i need 4.3 or latest...i know i might not get 4.3 or latest but if any of you have a custom or universal firmware it would be helpful..kindly help me as i am new to this ,thanks in advance :)

Well where to start other then the foctory defult with the sceen. Last friday when i got on the phone gapps error was poping up over and over along with play store error message. But a few of my other gapps were working. Tried to sign in to google no luck. So the next logical thing to do would be factory reset my gapps and i did. No luck. How ever this is not the main issue the next day all but a few of my contacts disappeared. And i did not deleat them. I used a 7 zip app that has a task killer witch i now know isnt the smartest thig to use. So with all of these factors i looked on the net to see if i could at least recover my contacts to no luck. And with the google issue no sync there ether. So i rooted my phone it to see if there was a app or way i could recover them that way. And no pc to do it with a pc program. So that would be about it. Phone is a zte warp 4g with 4.4.2 n9510. Used kingroot to root. Thx

[General Questions and Answers] JoeSmit:
Bootloader question

I've been looking for answers to these questions everywhere, but can't find them. If these questions have been answered somewhere else, please feel free to just point me to the right place.

If I understand correctly, the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 has an unlocked bootloader. I thought this meant that you can flash any firmware on the device. As long as the firmware is built for the device, the device will work.

Now, I'm hearing reports that once you flash the 5.1.1 OTA update on the device, you can't downgrade back to 5.0.2. How is this possible if the bootloader is unlocked? Even if there's a version check, couldn't I just modify the 5.0.2 image so that it claims to be a 5.1.1 image and load it on to my device? If it's not doing an integrity check of the firmware, this should be possible, right?

I also thought that getting root on a device with an unlocked bootloader was trivial - but that doesn't seem to be the case as there's no root for Galaxy S6 on 5.1.1 yet. I thought all it would take would be injecting the right binaries into the system image.

These questions apply to any device with an unlocked bootloader, even though I mention the T-Mobile Galaxy S6 in particular. How does downgrade blocking work if the bootloader on a device is unlocked? And, is getting root potentially more difficult than just injecting the right binaries into the system image and flashing that onto the device?

I'm assuming that my understanding of what an unlocked bootloader really means is wrong.

Thanks in advance for your help!

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
From what I read earlier when I helped another user with an international i9300 from UK, if you can get to download mode and connect to kies, it will find your stock firmware, it will fail but when it starts it will list your stock firmware's build number for your region, remember that build number or right it down or save it in whatever manner you choose then use that build number in a google search to find and download your stock firmware then flash it through Odin to restore your device.

[General Questions and Answers] shawnsingh:
I was wondering since I upgraded my S4 i545 to 5.0.1 and lost root. Is there a possibility to downgrade to kitkat and root again. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you upgrade to custom 5.0.1? If so what do you mean you lost root? Did you go to system settings>developer options>root access, then set that to apps and adb? Unlike KK and other pre-lollipop ROMs, lollipop has this root setting in developer options that if not set the device acts as if it has no root. Also, have you set permissions to write to system?

Also, you can flash the superSU.zip in recovery, if you have lost root but still have the binaries then that should return you to root access.
[General Questions and Answers] shawnsingh:
So basically I used to have root and Safestrap unlocked but I really badly wanted lollipop so I did a fresh install of kitkat and took the ota thinking that I can root once on the latest firmware but cant. And know I want to go back to kitkat and root.

Oh, ok, I understand you now. As for downgrading I'm not sure, what I know of the i545 has only been in the last month or so that I've been researching it so that I could customize my sister's i545, in what I've found so far I don't see anything about not being able to downgrade but I would look into it more, downgrading is risky business on some devices, which ones are risky is hit and miss, I wouldn't try downgrading unless you find something that confirms that it is safe. Bad things that are difficult to recover from can happen when downgrading, like losing IMEI, as [MENTION=5739963]GRRjayyy[/MENTION] did with his, now he has to restore it and restoring IMEI is risky business itself unless you completely understand the process.

Yes the KFHDX is android "based" but its not full on android, are you running rooted stock firmware? I don't think Xposed will work on stock Kindle firmware, if I were you I'd see about some custom ROMs to convert your kindle to full android, the Amazon crap is junk and you'll like custom a lot better and you can do a lot more customization on custom. You can install the Amazon apps in the custom ROM, that way you keep your Amazon stuff in the new ROM.

I converted my KFHD to full blown android and haven't regretted it one bit.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you aren't showing IMEI then either you wiped it out and lost IMEI or it is just not showing but still there. You may need to restore your IMEI but you need to verify whether it is actually gone or not or if it just isn't showing. If it is there but not showing in system then flashing back to what you had or restoring stock should fix you, if its completely gone then you'll have to restore IMEI.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

Make a backup of the updated app then uninstall it then instead of installing it just move it to where you want and restart then you should be good, your issue is because the app installed before you moved it, I haven't looked into the reasoning for that but I think its because when the app installs it associates itself with various parts of system and creates paths to those parts but when you move the app it still tries to use the same paths and it can't because you've moved it from the associated path origin, by not installing it and then moving it it gets to create the correct paths from its new location, I could be wrong about the why it does that though.
