[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
I am sorry for opening this thread.

After 2 days of waiting, it seems that the 3G forum section is useless in terms of helping the ones in need.

My issue: after i updated via OTA, the tablet, the 3G stopped working, the OTA corrupted the radio partition, and now it seems that my tablet is on first baseband (a backup radio it seems) released with the device which has some issues (wifi signal very crappy)

In fastboot the baseband appears N/A

My request, if someone knows, on which emmc partition is stored the radio i would be very grateful.

Also a dump of that partition would help also.

I cannot flash the radio via fastboot

apia-1231_0.17.0_1205.img

sending 'radio' (16384 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.001s]

writing 'radio'...

FAILED (remote: (BadParameter))

finished. total time: 2.018s

Also trying to dump the partition on the usual mount point results this

dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/RDO of=/sdcard/RDO.img

/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/RDO: cannot open for read: No such file or directory

In theory i should be able to restore by using the dd on the emmc partitions, but i don`t know which one it is.

ls /dev/block/mmcblk*

ls /dev/block/mmcblk*

/dev/block/mmcblk0 TO BIG

/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 2.048KB (bootloader)

/dev/block/mmcblk0boot1 2.048KB (bootloader backup)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 12.288KB (boot or recovery)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 8.192 KB

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 TO BIG

/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 TO BIG

/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 512KB

/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 10.240KB (boot or recovery)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 5.120KB

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 512KB

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 TO BIG

In my first look this is what i found, if someone can assist me with this, there are multiple users with this issue, so also others at some moment will be grateful if we fix this.

1) On which partition is the radio stored

2) Can someone dump that partition using dd ?

Again, sorry for creating this post, i don`t usually do things like this (old user, know how the things work around here), but i am a little bit desperate.

Managed to fix partially the issue.

In bootloader the Baseband still appears as N/A

What I did.

1) Mounted radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img

2) Copied the radio_update.zip

3) Rebooted the Tablet in RECOVERY

4) Presse Power Key and Volume Key Plus (first power key, while you keep the power pressed, press the volume key for 2 seconds, release)

5) Select "Apply Update From ADB"

6) Issue the command "adb sideload radio_update.zip

7) Wait till the update goes to end,, and select Reboot system now.

Now when you check in Settings/About Tablet/Baseband, you should have the Baseband which you applied via adb

For those in need, here is the radio_update.zip

Still the question remains open, HO KNOWS WHAT PARTITION IS THE ONE FROM THE RADIO ?

Hello

I have exactly the same issue reported by globula neagra.

In my case the issue started just after Nexus came back from Asus repair center with the motherboard replaced. .

As the radio cannot be flashed, the ota procedure fails.

Any idea how to recover the radio partition in order to flash the correct radio image file?

Regards.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarized:
My N7 2012 has the same symptoms (Baseband N/A in fastboot) after getting it back from Asus a couple of weeks ago. I believe they replaced the motherboard of my N7 if that matters. I was able to adb sideload the radio from 4.3 then fastboot all factory images from the latest update and then relock. Not sure if I should send it back since it will not install otas on its own, and I will have to adb sideload the radio every update. Thanks op for the info on adb radio update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Distman:
My Nexus 7 2012 has the same problem. I could not update OTA and also fastboot update fails, because of Baseband N/A. Now I'm on 4.3 but with old Baseband. I didn't update it, because looks like everything is running.

Before my one was two times in service at Asus. One time they replaced the mainboard.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaps1970:
For sure the solution of globula neagra is a good workaround, but it is very strange that, after the motherboard replacement, you cannot update anymore a standard product with a standard OTA procedure.

Maybe something could be revised in the replacement process.....

Can someone dump that partition using dd, as asked by Globula Neagra?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blown_ouT:
I don`t understand what exactly you talk about .. radio partitions etc. but if that helps I had a problem with the memory of the tablet: have 32g + gsm N7 and in storage tab it appears only 6gb availabale, so I downloaded nakasig-jwr66y-factory-bdbb7bd7.tgz , extracted the archive and in created folder there was

bootloader-tilapia-4.23.img

flash-all.bat

flash-all.sh

flash-base.sh

image-nakasig-jwr66y.zip

radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img

Using windows 8 I executed in CMD flash-all.bat and the script flashes the radio,bootloader,stock rom and many other things that I did not seen before.I can`t provide a link for download but it is in the forum.I`ll be happy if that can help you solve your problem! Just flash without fear
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
So it will erase all apps and data on N7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blown_ouT:
Yes in that case executing the flash-all.bat it will wipe all the data and apps but you can try to manualy flash the radio and the bootloader with that latest version...and like I understand your problem you can`t lose much...still you can`t use your device :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
[MENTION=4779095]Blown_ouT[/MENTION]

I did tried several approaches, and actually what you are saying above broke my device :) and created the issue with the radio.

The bootloader is saying that my radio partition does not exist anymore, therefore you can not flash something that is not existent, and your method does not work.

Tough, the partition is not vanished it must be there but i think is corrupted somehow.

When i broke the device first time i did this:

1) Update the tablet using the OTA

2) Result was a broken radio

3) Tried to re-flash the tablet using the stand alone pack

-when i did this, i did not wanted to unlock the tablet, still the cmd file runned and erased everything from the tablet but not flashed nothing, which is the most stupid thing since i did not unlocked the device and therefore the restrictions were up (which are supposed to be in theory a non access to erase/write but still google allows you to brick your device with the cmd file without unlocking, but does not allow you to fix it till you unlock it, again VERY STUPID)

-i was able to flash all the files one by one except the radio
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaps1970:
Hello, just an update about this issue,

I started the RMA procedure and ASUS replaced me the motherboard again (already one had been replaced).

Yesterday i received back the Nexus, nothing had changed, the tablet has exactly the same issue.

At this point, i think there are only three possibilities:

1) all the motherboards used in the Repair center are faulty

2) there is something wrong in the ASUS procedure

3) the problem is not related to the motherboard but is somewhere else

I am very frustrated about this situation, 5 months of tablet and three times in repair center without repairing the issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
I do think is an issue on a software level.

Google/Asus don`t want to admit that the updates are "braking" the tablets.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkrivokuca:
Geez, I have the same problem, I also got my Nex7 GSM from the repair with the new motherboard. :cowboy:

They had one job....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fvisagie:
When ASUS replaced my device's motherboard they reinstalled the factory 4.2 instead of the 4.4.4 it was on at the time. During the 4.3 OTA upgrade the device hung and now the baseband is N/A in the bootloader menu. Trying to flash factory images or just the radio itself obviously doesn't work.

Other than your excellent sideload work-around, have you found a proper fix for the radio partition itself?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fvisagie:
By now it's probably common knowledge to you and others with this problem that when the Nexus 7 3G gets into this state, the radio partition doesn't show up in the list anymore. My tablet broke before I could have a look at what correct partition information looks like, and there isn't much about it on the Internet either. However, these seem to agree:

and

IOW, compared to grouper the tilapia has an extra 16M radio partition inserted at mmcblk0p4.

Tablets in this state had this partition corrupted or deleted. Would it be correct to deduce that the problem can therefore be fixed by correctly recreating the partition table and then reflashing the machine?

I'm only familiar with working with Windows partitions and haven't been able to find instructions for recreating the Nexus 7 3G's partition table specifically. Is the above information sufficient for doing that, and what commands are needed? My tablet's currently on 4.2.2 and comes with both fdisk and parted.

Thanks in advance,

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fvisagie:
This seems to be the common experience with radio partition corruption. It also seems the process that leads to this corruption could involve a corrupt bootloader.

It turns out that both recent factory images as well as at least the 4.3 OTA for the Nexus 7 3G contain a corrupt bootloader, see http://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/general/info-nexus-7-3g-ota-bootloader-corrupt-t3033513. This means whether Android software is being installed manually or automatically, the target machine is potentially exposed to the corrupt bootloader.

Most firmware installs that include a new bootloader and radio software first install the bootloader, then boot into that, then next proceed with installation of the radio software, and then whatever else.

This opens up the possibility that failure to install and activate the new bootloader contributes to corruption of the radio partition when its upgrade is attempted. If I manage to test this once my machine is returned from repairs I hope to update. Any other thoughts or contributions in the meantime will be appreciated. Especially towards fixing the radio partition;).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emi_fer:
First after the update you need to install TWRP (with a pc) use the nexus toolkit and download SuperSU v1.51update to you phone and flash it with TWRP
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lukemolina:
OK, thank you for input. I will do this tonight after work
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Yeah you see when you update via OTA it will flash the newer version of the recovery.

You can unlock its screen via volume up and power.

As suggested try using a Toolkit to do it but if that fails then go to the bootloader and flash it manually.

I just had a new neighbor move in next door and I think he has an Airave device because all of a sudden my phone has very low signal when I am at home and makes 2 or 3 beeps when I make or receive a phone call. Is there a way I can disable my phone from connecting to an Airave device?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hotspace:
I don't think so. The owner of the Airave can lock it down to only allow certain numbers. Try dialing *99 [send], if you are connected to the Airave you will hear a recording saying "You are now within Airave coverage...You are now within Airave coverage".

Hi LumpiStefan,

Sorry for my stupidity, i really been trying for the past weeks to solve the problem.

I have downloaded the XDATools into my PC and cook a Rom image of wm2003 with Asia configuration nk.nb1.

I have also imaged it into my 256M SD card using the XDATools.

I do a hardreset after placing the SD card into my XDA and got the wallaby bootloader v6.22 with GSM OK. I have to push the 3rd active button into to see the flash tools page. But it only display cd rom to sd, boot to sd, cd+boot to sd and gsm rom to sd.

What should I do next?

Thanks a nillion :oops:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Looks like the Bootloader didn´t notice the new ROM on your SD-Card.

Either you have problems copying the ROM to your SD-Card (Do you use an internal Card Reader) or they have changed something in the bootloader...

Try doing a backup of your ROM via Bootloader (ROM to SD) and reenter bootloader. If you get the option to flash your device you have a problem writing the ROM to the SD-Card. Otherwise it´s an issue with the bootloader...

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] thomasluah:
Yes, I do used a intergrated SD card reader to write the ROM to SD.

I can't backup my ROM to SD. Each time I try, it said Card Key Invaild...???

If it is the bootloader having the problem, how...????
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Dubi:
2 steps in Upgrading ...

At first you have to downgrade your boot loader from 6.22 to 6.15 or so. Bootloader 6.22 will not allow flashing your device, unless you are equipped with the proper sd key. The way to do it is using the XDArit (I had problems with the new version in which protection of your hard drive has been implemented. You should write an SD with the wallabypatch (look at the FTP for the NB file..). a tip is when writing the sd with this patch, check the box of diagnostic). Than flash your device.. and you have to be quick and follow the instruction carefully... it will allow you to run diagnostic... which enable to flash the device. In summary for this section look for the wallabypatch instruction.

2. after you manage to write bootloader 6.15 , it will enable you to flsh you device with the new SD (written by XDArit ).

Good luck.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] thomasluah:
Dear kind Sir,

Is there any way you can show me how to downgrade the bootloader from v6.22 to 6.15?????

Stuck in bootup

Guys,

I believe I have the same problem as the last post. I have several XDA's and one boots up to the "Welcome to TMobile" screen with bootloader 6.22, G324e4, R6.25.02, 4.01.16.

This is a Tmobile release with no ROM modification. I used a second XDA to start the bootloader and dump the ROM to an SD card and I then used this SD card to flash the ROM to the frozen device.

It did nothing, it is sill stuck on the boot up 'tmobile' screen. Any ideas?

Thanks Paul.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Try installing a PPC2002 ROM and if the device works normal downgrade the bootloader.

Maybe this is an issue of the bootloader 6.22

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] paulmc:
LumpiStephan,

The two devices I have, one working one frozen, is stock from the factory, no modification of any kind, both have 6.22 bootloaders. All the self tests work fine, GSM, memory, everything is fine.

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
downloaded and will test

damn its showing me alot of apps using data that I didnt even know was using ;

endomondo, clock widget, facebook, steam, etc etc!

suggestions :

1. Make the ICON (Notification area) a bit more polished

2. Maybe a row of icons to indicate the other apps using data, rather than 1

3. No such thing as Idle state?

4. Total : Up : Down doesnt really mean much if its a dumb user

5. Don't think you need 3 decimal points.. such as 20.xxx
[Android Apps and Games] rcllcr:
jcsy, I was very surprised as well to discover apps that were running in the background.

1. I agree the notification icon can improve. My friend is the designer and I will talk to him about this.

2. For the widget, notification drawer, or both?

3. What do you mean by idle state? Do you mean that if no app is using any data, no app should be displayed? If so, I agree.

4. This is true. It is difficult to use wording that is both to the point and meaningful. There is only so much real estate. But I agree.

5. LOL, yeah, it is a bit overkill. I will look into this, at the very least making it customizable. I left that in their to make the point to users that the data monitoring is quite accurate. Also, if users set it GBps, nothing will shows if I do not have those decimal points. But I do hear what you are saying.

Thank you very much for your very specific input.
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
1. the notification area, which is what I added

2. notification area. I meant as in ; kbps (Steam) into kbps (Steam / Whats app / Facebook ) ?

3. If no app (whch looks like unlikely because I was staring at that god damn thing for 30 minutes) and discovered that its NEVER IDLE... unless I off the data altogether

4. How about Download/Upload? lol yes, i know its hard

5. I tried a few settings ; kbps,mbps,kBps etc and got fed up. too many decimal points, lol... its not a F1 race (with decimal timing is important :D) but yea, can see how accurate the thing is

keep up the work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rcllcr:
Thank you for the clarification. This is a 1.0 product, so look for updates very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Verrrrrryyy interesting app! I, too, have seen apps using network that surprised me. My suggestion: keep track of apps' network usage and let me see a table of usage over the last 5 minutes, hour, day, etc. Maybe more granularity and the ability to see a particular app's usage over time in a paid version of the app? But even without these features, it's a cool app. TYVM
[Android Apps and Games] teorouge:
Thanks, any chance you can add 3.2+ compatibility? Honeycomb is often overlooked but shares quite a few pieces with ICS. Thanks anyway, gonna try that on my One too. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rcllcr:
Thank you very much for the recommendation. It seems a lot of users would like this.

My hope is that I will be able to make this app 2.3+ compatible. I only had so much time this summer, but 2.3+ compatibility is definitely on the list of things I need to do. After all, it still makes up 33% of Android devices.
[Android Apps and Games] DeucesAx:
Nice app. For the dumb user like me, you should write out the unit of measurements settings. Not everyone knows the difference between MB and Mb.

I world like to "open" the app, so not using the notification or widget.
[Android Apps and Games] souler456:
Hey man, nice app, but can you add a feature that shows the Total Data Consumption of an Application?

I play some Online Games on my phone, and I would like to see how many Accurate MBs did I spent for each game sessions I make. Why? Cause I only have a limited data plan..

And when I ran the app, it consumes on an about 19MB on RAM. Is this normal? Cause I only have 301MB RAM (150 RAM Unused), and having a 19MB running app is quite big...
[Android Apps and Games] saurabh007:
Thanks mate!!

Really nice and cool app!!
[Android Apps and Games] rcllcr:
Thank you very much for your input DeucesAx, I really appreciate it.

Many users have requested data usage logging, I will definitely explore this feature. As for the RAM, this is not an unusual amount for the app. It is higher than it should be though. I wanted to release this before school started and I did not have as much time for optimization as I wanted. I will be optimizing this app more as soon as I can. Thank you for your input.
