Wouldn't read SIM

It was weird with mine. I was JUST using it to make a phone call and get on Facebook and I did a reboot and then BLAM...No SIM card?? SO I found this thread and what I did was use an old nano SIM card from another phone that was deactivated. Put my SIM in the reader and then placed the old NANO (you could use another Micro SIM too I guess) right on top of that reader and snapped the cover back on. PERFECT...It needs just enough to press the SIM down onto the gold pieces to read the SIM...NO problems so far...:p:):D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
I'm posting this in a single thread to minimize clutter.

I recently ran Easy Ace Root tool as instructed on my inspire. The bootloader unlocked, CWM flashed, but there was an error during superuser flash.

After a reflash of superuser things looked okay, but superuser began not responding. I re-flashed superuser twice in attempt to fix it using the Easy Ace Root Tool.

EDIT: I have discovered that superuser will only function with "USB debug mode" enabled. I've tried it on and off several times, and each time it malfunctions but function returns without a problem.

The backup I have been restoring seems to work because it was created with the debug mode enabled. Took a while to see it.

Second, CWM started to exhibit the "power off, charge" recovery bug where CWM opens.

Last, I attempted to install/flash 4ext Recovery Touch twice to address the CWM bug. Both times it hung at "flashing recovery" (approx 20 mins. both times). Eventually, it indicated that 4ext was installed. However, booting into recovery shows that I still have CWM. I used two different versions (RC8 & RC 7) in the attempt.

I'm now using the restored and working ROM. Solutions to the superuser debug issue I haven't seen posted

The failure to flash 4ext is troubling.

Questions

1. Could these issues be related? Or, what should I be looking for?

2. The recovery issue seems to be the most important. What might be the cause of 4ext to fail in this manner?

3. Can the Easy Ace Root Tool be rerun on the unlocked bootloader, and would that fix anything?

4. Is there reason to worry about flashing with CWM?

I see a number of possible solutions, the main one is to flash a new ROM, which I have already downloaded a couple, but doesn't adress the recovery problems.

The issue with CWM and 4ext leave me less than confident in using it to flash with, although CWM seems okay. The other item is that some ROMs indicate that S-off in required, but many of the threads are a couple years old.

5. Is it correct that S-off is not required to flash ROMs (I read it somewhere)?

I found an answer: NO, YOU DON'T NEED S-OFF TO FLASH ROMS....

Solving the issues are good lessons :eek:

Stock AT&T ROM

Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0

Bootloader screen indicates-

UNLOCKED

S_ON

I know that's a lot for one thread but I'm just looking for a direction and I'll do the search.

If anyone has suggestions, directions, or ideas fire away.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] trinancrat:
I think the fact that you are still S-ON is causing problems with the recovery flashing, since S-ON basically means that the recovery partition is not-writeable.

Have you tried using fastboot to flash a new recovery? Plug your phone into a computer, get into the bootloader, select "fastboot" (if not already selected), wait for "FASTBOOT USB" to appear, and then run the following on the computer:

fastboot flash recovery <path to recovery.img>

However that S-ON still worries me. You might have to do things manually:

(Sorry for the broken URL - I had to disguise it. Blargh, I hate being a n00b.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
Thanks, I think you meant to say the fact that I am still S-ON? The S_ON part shouldn't be an issue from all that I've gathered. In fact, that's how I have CWM. The Easy Ace Root Tool does CWM, with an unlocked bootloader S_ON. Nothing I have come across states that S_OFF is required to flash 4ext recovery.

Other noobs might find this other thread useful as there is some info and links to recovery images. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22489317#post22489317

No I haven't tried the fastboot yet. That is an option, I've got it and adb setup on my computer already. I have looked at AAHK, but as it says its no longer supported, and I don't think I need of S_OFF. Taking it slow to sort out the problems so I don't do sumthin stooopid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
How are you flashing 4ext? From fastboot?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trinancrat:
Right, S-ON, that's what I get for writing this at 12 AM. :P

Don't bother with AAHK, it's discontinued, and even if you still had a copy it couldn't download the necessary files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
bananagranola,

I used the 4Ext Recovery Updater for both attempts. As I said in the OP, both attempts hung at "flashing recovery" approx 20 mins, and eventually indicated that 4ext was installed. In Recovery Updater it listed/highlighted the version I thought I had installed, but CWM was still the recovery that booted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Try doing it from fastboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
I thought that would be next.

Can you confirm for me that the instructions in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1848846 are correct for the Inspire 4G?

It's the EVO 3D forum. And I have some other links to using fastboot I'll check before doing it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trinancrat:
Yes, those instructions will work. If you can't boot into fastboot through the GUI, you can also power on the phone while holding the volume down button, and that will get you into the bootloader.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
Okay, great. This is the only recovery .img that I have found 4EXT-recovery-2.2.7_RC5.img - 3.33 MB

If I install the 4ext recovery Updater after flashing it should work okay?

And, Will I be able to update once I have flashed it (assuming it works) and have installed the recovery Updater?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trinancrat:
Probably. But I don't think it really matters, since if you can flash a recovery using fastboot, you can do everything that 4ext updater otherwise would.

See above.

If 4ext doesn't work, you can also try CWM and TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project). I use the latter with my Inspire 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I strongly advise you use the app to download the recovery, unzip, and then flash it from fastboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
I'll take "strongly" as more than a suggestion. Thanks, it had not occurred to me to get the recovery.img from the updater. :o

I had actually found several other images and was trying to figure out what was what. That saved me some time, but I did read a lot about 4ext.

I was considering trying the Recovery Updater one more time. Bad Idea?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I have a hunch that if you are S-On, you can only write to the recovery partition from fastboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
I am S-ON. Does that present an issue with fastboot of the recovery.img?

I'm just going to overwrite the current recovery. Nothing else needs to be done does it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
No.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
Solved the 4EXT flashing issue. Looks like 4ext flashed okay with fastboot, and the 4EXT Recovery Control works. Rebooted into recovery a couple times just to be sure. That kills 2 birds the CWM bug and the recovery flash.

Thanks for the help and suggestions all.

Some notes from a noobs experience -

Setting up ADB and Fastboot is very easy.

If your cautious as I am run some basic commands in ADB and Fastboot that won't do damage [devices, reboot, reboot-bootloader, etc.]

If you get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img" make sure you navigate to folder that recovery.img is located. Then run "Fastboot flash recovery [Filename]." Even though I set system variables on my desktop to point to adb and fastboot, it won't find the recovery image if you start from the wrong directory in terminal (i.e., C:\)

If you're in ADB and you use the command "adb reboot-bootloader" it will boot the device straight to "Fastboot USB".
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Don't forget that each time you flash a ROM from recovery, you still need to fastboot flash its boot.img separately.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cremnomaniac:
Thanks for the reminder. I just spent an hour looking at 4EXT "smartflash no available". I hav some links for doing fastboot flash of the boot.img. I think I'm good there.

One question from my OP remains. Superuser only works (i.e., grants root access) when I have USB debug mode selected. When it's off superuser says the app (e.g., Titanium BU) is granted permission but just hangs until I force close it and re-enable USB debug. i can't find anything on this problem.

Is it an issue to run my phone in USB debug mode all the time? Or, any clue to the problem?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irodex:
I have an s3 that has been rooted running a custom rom perfectly for about 5 months.

Today I was using my phone and it locked up - totally froze..screen was frozen and everything was unresponsive. So I pulled the battery.

When I put the battery back in my phone displayed the Samsung logo and after that just displays a black screen.

I can put the phone in download mode, however it will only be on the download screen for about 3 seconds before the phone either turns off or the screen goes black.

The really weird thing is, when I put the battery into my phone it will instantly boot up (I don't have to hold download the power button). The power button is NOT stuck in the down position.

I know the battery is charged. So what in the hell happened? I don't know if my phone is bricked or not. I could re-flash it but I can't do anything in download mode because of it turning off.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

take out the battery. insert it after atleast 5 minutes. i've read somewhere that S3 is sensitive to the order of the keys we hold to enter download or recovery modes. so to enter download mode, 1st hold HOME button, then VOLUME DOWN button and then the POWER button. (not sure i did this all the time but no problem for me till now). good luck

The ZR (sold as the A domestically) has so dominated Docomo's summer sales so far (and outselling the S4 2 to 1) that the Z has entirely disappeared from the current offerings on their website:

http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/index.html

At the moment you can still order one but after the stock they have is gone I wouldn't expect any more (same thing happened to Galaxy Nexus on Docomo - very early discontinuation).

[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
We're talking Japan here, it's very likely. Sony is still probably the biggest player on the whole electronics market there.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
That's terrible!

Contract phones is an awful concept. Imagine you would have to sign an internet contract when buying a PC. Or having to sign a contract with an electricity supplier when buying a washing machine. That would be insane, right?

Here in Belgium, simlocks are illegal and selling phones together with a contract too. Unfortunately, in 2009, the Court of Justice of the E.U. ruled that the ban of contract phones was contrary to E.U. law, so now they're selling them too over here (without a simlock nevertheless), but most people still buy a contractless phone anyway.
[Xperia Z General] 5M3X:
Whats the pricing for a XZ there in a shop?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
At release € 649, now € 549.

But our subscriptions aren't very expensive. I'm with the best (and also most expensive) mobile operator of the country and I currently use a prepaid plan which includes 2 GB of data (incl. 4G), 10000 SMS messages and 10 MB data roaming (cumulative to 100 MB) per month for every reload of minimum € 20. Calling is € 0.25 / min, so you can call 80 min with € 20. This plan is mainly for people who use a lot of data. There are other plans for people who call more.

Do you have a contract phone perhaps? How much do you pay?
[Xperia Z General] Vaith:
It can't be truth because I bought my Xperia Z in Poland for 1575PLN it's= $475 or €360. It was new Xperia Z bought through internet from other guy. So your prices aren't up to date :/

Well I guess that's the difference between Poland and Belgium... If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself, these are the big electronics/phone stores in Belgium:

Vanden Borre: € 549.00

Krëfel: € 549.00

The Phone House: € 649.99

Proximus (mobile operator): € 649.99
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
He's talking about Belgium not Poland.

Here in the Netherlands the XZ was €630

at release, don't know how much they are at the moment. I'd say somewhere in the 500.
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
Lucky me. Here in Malaysia, most phone sold are unlocked as 80% of the population use prepaid. Also here Sony are the cheapest around. XZ come out at around €520 and XZL at €400 (same price as N4) now I can get XZ for €380 and XV at €219(HK unit). And even with contract, none of the carrier here bother locking the phone, controlling any software or loading any crapware.

And my Prepaid give me 2Gig of data (they capped ur speed afterwards. 4G coverage is still limited but at least 80% of area got 42mbps), 3 Facebook credit, sometime they give u free KFC chicken, 100 minutes call to any local number, unlimited free call to the same Operator, 100mb of kakautalk and wechat and 30Sms for RM48 (€11.48). Afterwards per minutes is RM0.18 (€0.04).

[Xperia Z General] evildave_666:
Docomo supposedly had 1 million of each handset ready in advance according to an insider. No availability problems anywhere I've seen. I can confirm that at the shop there was much more activity around the XAs on display.

FWIW, the XA is positioned a lot higher for Japan - the developing-market ZR version is only 8GB but the version sold in Japan has 32GB internal. The waterproofing is a lot more important feature in the japan market, and the physical size hits the sweet spot for japanese hands it seems. (The S4 is just about the widest handset I could possibly use, the XA feels a lot better to me, but ultimately chose to go with S4 for unlocked bootloader)
[Xperia Z General] Geoffxx:
I suspect the Z is withdrawn because a new model is about to take it's place - could even be an uprated Z as already leaked
[Xperia Z General] evildave_666:
The Xperia A is pretty much it until at least the end of August at the very earliest. Japan carriers do strict quarterly unveils of their whole product line and its been only a month since the summer lines were announced. Never anything in between.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
But those prices for Xperia Z and Xperia ZL are probably for models C6602 and C6502 (without LTE)?

We have Xperia Z model C6603 in Belgium, which has LTE, so it's more expensive.
