[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toxicoblivion:
This is a softbrick not a (hard)brick. this is fixable. Try putting it under a bright light and holding down pwr + vol dwn (dont ask just do it) and see if the soft buttons start blinking. if so, you should feel a buzz when it reboots, and then keep holding down vol dwn and that should put you into bootloader. from there you can get to fastboot (and maybe even recovery)

I've got to ask. A bright light? Is he doing surgery as well? What's the reason for the light?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toxicoblivion:
for some reason multiple people have reported successful reboots under bright light in which previously (sometimes within minutes) earlier would not work in a dark environment. i have no idea why it works, but ive heard it work enough times, its worth adding it in.

[MENTION=2350273]rider5512[/MENTION] Sounds right to me. Thanks for clarifying. :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Thanks Toxic!!- so I tried that and I'm back in the bootloader now! I guess the bright light made a difference as I messed up my phone last night. It didn't buzz but now I'm back in the bootloader. How should I go about fixing this now that I can access the bootloader and recovery? I really don't want to half ass this again lol.

It also says "TAMPERED" "RELOCKED" on the top as well.

I'm thinking of following the instructions for method 2 from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258809

Would this be correct or do I need to do anything else first?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Method 2 looks good.

Just remember that you will have to unlock your bootloader again. You will probably have to request a new token at htcdev.

Then flash recovery from toolkit and sideload and install new rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Great I'm just concerned at getting this to work again.

EDIT - So I am trying method 2 right now - I am trying to boot into recovery but it just brings me back to bootloader. I cannot access recovery so when I try sideloading the rom it doesn't work. It says "error device not found" in cmd prompt but I already installed the HTC drivers though. Any advice?

So that means I have to go through the whole process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. So can I just use this tool by Hasoon2000 instead of going through manually typing in cmd prompts in the future?

In regards to requesting the new token, can you clarify? Are you saying that since I activated the old token, it cannot be activated anymore and I need to contact HTC Dev directly?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
You need to flash a new custom recovery again before you can boot into it and sideload. You won't be able to do that until you unlock your bootloader again.

You do have to do the whole process of unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery from the toolkit.

You will need to get a new unlock token from htcdev (however you did it before, manually or with the toolkit) since you can only use the unlock token's once it seems. No biggie, just need to do the process again to get that new token you will need to unlock you bootloader before you will be able to do anything in recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Thank you crushalot!

So I am following this guide.

http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/

I successfully unlocked the bootloader and now I need to flash the recovery. In Step 23, he copies the file "CWM-SuperSU-v1.30.zip" into the internal storage. Since I cannot access the internal storage of the phone, is this step necessary to flashing recovery? Can I just skip over to step 24 and run "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-m7.img" ?

Edit - Okay so I used Hasoon's toolkit to flash the recovery and I think it worked. However, now I am trying to sideload the rom and having issues. I selected "ADB Sideload a ROM" and i manually went into recovery and TWRP (the toolkit can't send it into recovery for some reason). I selected "sideload a rom" on the HTC and then it shows you a bar that says "Swipe to sideload". I wasn't sure if I needed to do that or not but I tried running the toolkit and sideloading the rom and i got "error: closed" in command prompt.

in TWRP there are messages saying "unable to mount /data, recreate data/media folder, internal storage etc".

That is done in order to give root access to the currently installed rom. You are going to install a new rom, so you don't have to do that until you get the rom installed.

You are now the 3rd user I have run into that is having the issue where you can't mount anything in recovery and I'm not sure why. Some users report that re locking and unlocking the bootloader fixes this, but you just did that, so I'm not sure why this is happening.

Within the toolkit try the perm root option? Perhaps there is something I can't think of since I rooted mine, the day I got it awhile back.

"Rooting The Device To root your device, first make sure you have unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery. Next, select the ‘Perm Root’ option (the last one) from the Extras section and follow the instructions to get root access in no time."

To any other advanced users who may be able to answer this:

Does the recovery need the installed rom to have the SU binaries before it can mount the system in recovery? Does recovery need to be granted SU though some other means before mounting?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Okay I just tried Perm room - nothing happened except it showed 776 KB/s. I remember a few days ago there was a system update from HTC and I updated it OTA - would that affect this at all?

Just to be clear, I run the program, go into recovery, go into adb sideload, then I select the rom on the PC. Then I swipe across the bar to mount the rom and then it fails to mount and I get "error closed" in command prompt.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardstuffmuc:
I know it is a pain in the ass, and users not familiar with adb/fastboot commands and using the toolkit mess it up.

Flashing recovery in fastboot after you pointed to your adb/fastboot folder you need to do:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery name-of-your-recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

As you got it flashed successfully but you have problems sideliadung it with adb, get yourself a OTG cable and a USB storage stick, put the custom ROM.zip on there and then choose 'flash .zip from external storage' or s.thing like that. I don't know if that option is available in TWRP but it is in ClockworkMod.

Once you have booted successfully up into the ROM, go back into recovery and do a Nandroid back up, and keep it on that stick and on the internal storage if your One!

Good luck
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Hmm so can I use the toolkit to do this? I don't have the actual recoveries of TWRP and CWM. If I have TWRP on this installed, can I flash Clockwork as well or do you have to choose one or the other?

I just want to clarify - are you saying that I should be doing this manually instead of using the toolkit to install CWM or TWRP? When I use the toolkit, does it erase the cache?

Btw, when I plug in my phone, it detects it as an F drive but I cannot access the actual internal storage. What does this mean? I have the drivers installed already.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Yes, every user that I encountered with this issue had done an OTA update. Not exactly sure why or how that is causing these issues.

Yes, your procedure for sideload is correct, however you are unable to flash anything or use recovery at all because when in recovery the internal storage won't mount, so it can't perform any actions.

Need to do some more reading for: unable to mount in recovery

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

I don't think the toolkit is the issue. The cache erase can also be done from the toolkit with the Erase Cache in the Commands section. Never hurts to try this, but the issue is not being able to mount storage in recovery. I think you could install either recovery and it wouldn't matter as they would both have the same issue. Generally, I prefer TWRP anyway.

You can't access the phones internal storage when connected via USB when the phone is in recovery or fastboot. So that is normal.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Hmmm okay so the other poster's suggestion was to get an OTG cable (a micro usb to USB cable right?) and connect the USB with the ROM directly the phone. Do you think this would be a big difference or no? I just don't know if the issue is the internal storage itself or the mode of pushing the ROM.

Otherwise, I'm pretty much scratching my head and have no idea what else I could do =/.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limache:
Just for anyone else who's having issues, I've tried using TWRP's install function with the OTG cable but it still doesn't mount. Just letting people know.

Hello everyone,

I did a search in the q&a forums and didn't find anything about this. Is it possible for me to get 4g lte using an att sim card through straight talk? Just today 4g was activated in my area and it would be great to use that instead of my crappy internet connection which is like 3mb download. I know i would need to use either an older radio or a hybrid one for the nexus 4 to have lte functionality, but would it work on straight talk att?

Thank you for your help,

I don't know about about LTE on AT&T but if you go into Settings-More-Mobile Networks and enable Data Roaming then go to Access Point Names and hit Menu then reset to default you should see a slight increase in a good coverage area. I went from averaging 3 Mbps to 6 Mbps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
1) Straight Talk has no LTE, AIO (owned by AT&T and available in limited markets) is the only MVNO with LTE. Otherwise you need Go Phone (AT&T prepaid).

2) It only connects to LTE on 1700 MHz Band 4. Most of AT&T uses 700 MHz Band 17, but there are some Band 4 areas (Puerto Rico and Oklahoma City have been reported).

Best advice is to check if T-Mobile has good coverage in your area (I average 15 Mbps down just on HSPA+), and all of T-Mobile's LTE is on Band 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryWood34:
I meant my actual internet connection lol. I have centurylink in the middle of nowhere and their highest speed

is 6mb, but im lucky if i get 4mb. Having 4g would be a godsend because i could use a wireless hotspot for everything.

Unfortunately I dont think i get t-mobile coverage where I am. Only ATT. So there's no hope then huh?

Side note, I am half Puerto Rican and half Mexican. You just made me miss my island lol.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
I would beg for 3Mbps download on my Nexus4 on Straight Talk AT&T. The highest speed I every got was 1.06 Mbps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
If you live out in the middle of nowhere then you won't be getting LTE form any carrier any time soon. Best you will get is HSPA+ from AT&T. Also Chicago is another area where AT&T is using band 4 as they don't have enough band 17 coverage in that area to serve it properly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryWood34:
I know there is 4g in my area now. Other phones in the house are getting 4g. I was just hoping there was some hope for my wife and I to be able to get 4g as well through ATT. How would i test which band my area is using and assuming I were able to get 4g what would be the steps to getting it on my nexus 4?

So, guys, I have had my nexus 4 since January now, and days after I got it, it had a squeaky bezel (I think that's the correct word) and the speakers raddled. I have popped a case on it, and since tried to forget about it. Unfortunately, to this day I can't get over it. If I contacted google, would they let me return the device, and get a replacement?

Just snatched brand new sealed nook hd+ from craigslist, and it turns out I can't register it because its blacklisted (what I gathered from web chat with b&N). I tried to call b&N but they are offline...

I probably could still load cm10 on it, but it would be nice to register for warranty first...

anyone had similar experience? some advice?

The guy I got it from looked innocent, and said he has a ipad4 so he does not need the nook (he said it was a gift). Again, the device was still shrink wrapped, so I'm curious how could it have been blacklisted due to the theft, unless it was stolen from a store?

what do you guys think?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zachinater:
Here's the deal. They guy probably bought some shrink wrap and wrapped it up

Then reported it stolen so he could get a new one

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathEvil:
It was factory sealed (you cant do it so nicely without the right equipment). Besides, everything is spanking new (even that protective layer they put on the screen was perfect). Also not a single fingerprint on the screen, which I can't archive no matter how nicely I clean up my other nook hd)

I'm going to call b&n tomorrow and try to clear this up. I'm debating whether I should ask the guy for the name of who bought it for him as a gift. I'm unsure, because it might spook him to change simcard or something, and all I have right know is his cell #.

putting cm10 is another option, but I'd rather clear this first.

GSM vs Cellular 3g/4g support

i hope this answers the question or helped you. Gsmarena labeled the tablet Asus Google Nexus 7 2 Cellular with 3G/4G support.. while some other tablest with phone functionality are labeld with a GSM. So i think GSM means having phone functionalit/capability. But im not realy sure about that. I also think having a signal,mic, and speakers can make a device a phone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aenertia:
GSM is a carrier tech - commonly used for legacy voice channels.

Nope not true at all. Many 3G networks do not have GSM hardware on the U-Tran/NodeB at all; and do all calls over UMTS voice channels on the WCDMA carrier path. The XT network in New Zealand is one example of this.

GSM is a technology - and many legacy/budget players use it to provide voice services - modern networks do not always deploy GSM along side there UMTS/WCDMA deployments which run the 3G and LTE networks.

Strickly speaking LTE networks don't have a specific Voice Channel at all and are mean to use a SIP handover data channel. Unfortunately due to poor device/handset support for the LTE SIP handoff many operators are choosing to use their existing UMTS/3G dedicated voice channels for voice calling over their shinny new LTE networks. This means your data rates will drop when making/receiving calls - amongst other things.

So at least to my observations on my LTE Nexus7 (Deb) that I picked up and rooted with the PAC man build - there is nothing stopping voice dialing except for the fact the CM10.2 builds that the PACman rom is currently based on have not included the phone/messaging applications and frameworks into the builds. Hopefully this is just an oversight from the initial AOSP code drop from google (which does not include them).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cobyman7035:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aenertia:
Pretty much - am not sure what Rogers use for their voice calls on their network. If they have a GSM fallback path as well as UMTS voice then that might complicate things.

Going to test the CM10.2 third build that just came out last night and see if that fixes it here in NZ.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] admiez:
So I have a new Nexus 7 that upon first and second boot performed the OTA updates. I had not made any other modifications to it apart from flashing root (SuperSU v 1.45) after temporarily booting into TWRP (e.g. flashboot boot recovery.img) and installing terminal emulator. Everything seemed fine.

I performed a factory reset from within Android. After reboot, the Setup Wizard got stuck at the Choose your network screen with a "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message. After a few unsuccessful attempts I booted into TWRP and performed a factory reset. Now it is stuck at the same step with a "Please turn Wi-Fi on to see available networks" message. There is no way to turn-on or off Wi-Fi or get past that point. Is there anything else I can try?

At this point my only option seems to be to boot into recovery, connect via adb shell and edit /system/build.prop to skip the Wi-Fi step (ro.setupwizard.wifi_required=false).

Update: Well, that didn't work. It's back at the "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
