This Thread Is For Them Who Bricked There Phones

Don't start a new thread for your bricked phone & post here.

We will help you with every possible solutions.

​

Here are some quick tips :

(Here I'll use the terms like Download-Mode & Recovery-Mode, If you dont know what are they then:

Download mode is for flashing radio firmware/ROM upgrade through official means.

As for Download mode, for example ODIN is commonly used on Samsung devices to flash ROMs, those devices needs to be in download mode prior to flashing. However, ODIN is not the official way to do it, rather Kies, is the official route in upgrading the firmware, this is for Samsung devices for example.

In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A combination of key presses (or instructions from a command line) will boot your phone to recovery, where you can find tools to help repair (recover) your installation as well as install official OS updates. Because Android is open and has the recovery source code available, building a customized version with more and different options is relatively easy as well. Let's look at both options.

The stock recovery is pretty limited, but that's by design. Its main purpose is to delete all user data and files, or to perform system updates. Normally, both these operations are started from the running Android system, or you can do things manually and boot right into recovery yourself. When you tell your phone to do a factory reset, recovery is what boots up and erases the files and data. Likewise with updates -- when we restart to install an official OS update, it's done in recovery. Recovery is also where we go to manually install official OS updates we've downloaded from the Internet.

.

A Bricked Phone May Have One or More (Below Problems) :

1. Booting to the ROM(Android) not possible.

2. Booting to the Recovery-Mode not possible.

3. Black screen or Bootloop(Repeated Restarting of Phone at Boot Animation or Samsung Galaxy Y Logo).

Possible Solutions :

(Remember there'll be data loss using these solutions so always try to keep a backup)

1. If you can still enter into Recovery-Mode

(a). Try to clear Data & Cache then check.

(b). Try Installing a Custom ROM using CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery) & check.

2. If Recovery-Mode didn't helped Enter into Download-Mode & flash an odin supported stock rom.

*You can inform me, if anything left out.

Note :

1. I'll be not held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

2. Before posting try to search for similar type problems out there & try the solution, if that doesn't solve your problem then post here.​

I finally got wifi calling extracted, ported and flashable. Currently for "stock" custom Sense 4+ ROMs and Sense 5 as well.

Haven't tried trickdroid or viper, but i'll get a version for viper posted soon.

Make a nandroid first, then flash the appropriate zip in recovery. Let me know if there are any issues.

T-Mobile wifi calling for Sense 5

T-Mobile wifi calling for Sense 4+

​
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I'm sure this will be very useful for all the TMoUS users that miss the ability of WiFi calling on Sense 5 ROMs
[HTC One S] cougzzz:
Trying this out on TrickDroid sense 5. Will report back.
[HTC One S] cougzzz:
This is what I get after flashing on TrickDroid:
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
Did you extract from the HTC one t-Mobil version to ?
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Yes, sense 5 is from the one.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
But I decompiled our framework2.jar and added the necessary smali to it. Otherwise wifi calling would work, but would not connect to regular phone network, kept scanning the Sim every 30secs or so.

I'm gonna try with an aosp ROM just to see what happens, maybe collect that bounty:beer:

I don't even have T-Mobile, but everyone said it can't be done and I like a challenge, just couldn't get it out of my head, same with the small apps and the volume cursor on my ROM. My first adventures in the horrible land of smali.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
You need one of the newer sims, call T-Mobile. For more info, do a search on xda or Google...it seems to be somewhat common issue.

I wasn't sure if trickdroid had a modified framework2.jar, that's why I wasn't sure if it would work, but I can modify almost any framework2.jar if someone had a particular one they want done, just post it for me.
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
Well it has been done by a Great dev (he should not be not named ) But lets not start this again

And hope you get it to :)

[HTC One S] gmlawrence33:
Just to let you know, just flashed into viper 2.2.0 and it is working well. Thank you.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Way way way prefer smali to APKTool, doesn't even work for me. I had fun removing this tweak from my ROM, took effort but was worth it in the end.

/OT
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
I was talking about smali code in general. I always use apk tool to decompile for smali edits as well as xml.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Ah, OK. I use a different tool for smali since APKTool spews out errors when attempting to do anything.
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
Why not use vts by diamondback its a great tool
[HTC One S] rc420head:
I tried on magio Rom but keep getting invalid sim. Thanks for the work thou hopefully there can be a fix for this.
[HTC One S] cougzzz:
Ryan said we need a new sim card from tmobile.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
This is a brand new simple card. WiFi calling works fine on Mkinney88's tmous jb rom
[HTC One S] cougzzz:
Ah Icic then hopefully we see a fix for this. Would love to use wifi calling in my reception depleted area.
[HTC One S] kilo94:
Well, I can safely say this doesn't work on ASOP ROMs, ended up really dorking up my HOS running Odyssey. But I'm hopefully it can somehow be modified for them as well. TMOUS is horrible in my area....but the pricing is great.
[HTC One S] Atemi1337:
Hopefully we can see a version that can work with aosp roms. That would be back life-saver.
[HTC One S] sushi143:
Would be awesome if you could eventually get this working on miui v5 sensed base! I tried and it won't boot
[HTC One S] capthtz:
Soft Bricked my phone

FYI- I installed the sense 4+ version on Viper 1.2 and it soft bricked my phone. I finally got it recovered and will probably give it a shot on Viper 2.2.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Viper 1.2 is ICS and not sense 4+ (4+ is the actual version name that was released with JB for the one S).
[HTC One S] grim489:
Works on One XL as well

Just wanted to confirm this works on the One XL as well, I'm on the 3.18 stock rom. :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Can you do this one?
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
I suppose we need a new one for 4.2.2 and sense 5? :)
[HTC One S] wolfu11:
Yeah I think so I haven't gotten it to work on any 4.2.2 sense 5 roms

I think this thread is dead though.
[HTC One S] kilo94:
So is there any working Wi-Fi calling in a 4.2.2 rom for the One S?
[HTC One S] neozengar:
I am also interest in a working wifi calling as well. At the mean time, I find that grooveip to be excellent replace for now.
[HTC One S] dcacklam:
After digging into this extensively on the old Amaze....

The only way you will ever get WiFi Calling on AOSP is if someone forward-ports the old UMA/Gingerbread WiFi calling *APP*.

The current 'Built In to the OS' WiFi Calling uses hooks into the vendor-provided dialer & MMS Apps, which route the traffic over SIP utilizing GBA/sim-card-auth - without the vendor dialer and vendor MMS app it does not work.
[HTC One S] dteg:
so since this worked on previous Viper roms, and the one S and One are in the same family... does it mean the sense5+ will work on viper 5.0.0 for HTC One?
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Very highly doubt it but make a back up and try

[HTC One S] farlz:
Is there a flashable wifi calling for any of the newer roms? If not, anyone know what's the most current rom that has wifi calling built in?
[HTC One S] farlz:
So I tried the latest greatest 4.4.4 roms and the One S flew, but realized I can't live without wifi calling. Soo ruu'd back down, etc ect and long story short have Viper 2.1.0>2.2.0 via OTA flash zip. But when I flash this wifi calling module it causes me to get stuck at the "One" boot screen. I know it's been a while but do you recall any steps you did differently?
[HTC One S] p3ric0:
Anyone know if this is compatible with Android 4.4.2 & Sense 5?? I'm still on an old 4.1.1 rom as I am severely dependent on Wi-Fi Calling. I'd love to be able to upgrade. :(
[HTC One S] soujiro2350:
I'm also waiting on this one. I flashed the file for sense5 but doesn't seem to work. I would see that Tmobile ID was added but can't see the option for wifi calling. There's nothing under settings.

Hi All!!

I was wondering if someone could help with this problem which is really frustrating me:

My new XDA IIi comes equipped with a standard photo- and ringtone-assigning features, but when I use this feature to assign photos and ringtones to contacts, it doesn’t work, and instead, it goes back to the default ringtone (selected in: Sounds and Notifications) with no photo.

FYI, my ringrones are in: \Windows\Rings\, and my photos are in: \My Documents\My Pictures\

Please help!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] eagleking:
Bump!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] irblinx:
Is it losing the settings that you have made or just ignoring them, if it is just ignoring them have you checked that you don't have two versions of the contact on you r device? i.e. one on your sim card and one from Outlook?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] eagleking:
Yes, I do have two versions of the contacts both in my SIM card and a replica in my phone memory (not Outlook), but what does that have to do with ignoring the settings? They both have same photo and ringtone assignments.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] KayDat:
Not sure why doing anything with the battery would be in any way related with the SIM. I also forgot to mention that I had already tried cleaning the SIM card at the start with alcohol. In any case, the SIM card works fine in another phone, so it appears that there isn't problem with the SIM card. In any case, I managed to RMA the phone, now the long wait to get it back...

Got my phone back from the shop today. Kept an eye on the shipping tracking when I sent it out, and they sent it back out half a day after they took delivery, so I'm guessing they used a SIM unlock code since it's definitely my phone that I got back. Didn't have to pay anything, so I'm happy. Still not sure why/how the phone decided to lock itself though... :confused:

I rooted using the method that only gives root access, if and when Verizon pushes a new OTA, will that cause any problems? Of course I would first unroot via that function in SuperSU, just want to know if I would need to do anything else before taking the update our if I would run into any problems? Thinking about it now I would defrost the few apps I've frozen, but there isn't to much else I've done as far as tweaks go other then install adaway.

I would def defrost apps, and be prepared to not be able to root again, as im sure all current methods will be fixed when it updates again. With how popular the phone is im sure root would be found, but it will take time.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
No you can't, Sprint hard blocks their phones to prevent you from using it on any other US carrier.

I've had success with using tmobile with calls and data(5mb/s). It picked up the att network too, but I've never tried.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
Interesting, I was going by the information in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415587

And I assumed that Sprint did it to all their phones because it would be odd to just hard block a single model.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
You can sim unlock the Sprint One and use it per this article.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] myamex:
I have HTC one unlocked by Sprint and Galaxy S4 unlocked with DFS tool. Neither can get any signal from ATT or Tmobile including all the MVNO.

Lycamobile sim card will show "Roaming" with HTC one, but it keeps dropping. Dev said Sprint blocked MNC/MCC of ATT/Tmobile.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
I can get on T-Mobile fine, never tried AT&T but it would also depend on the frequency that is in use in your market. Regarding the Sprint GS4, the unlock method out for it will only unlock for international only, while the unlock on HTC is a true unlock and will work as long as the bands are compatible.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jesmann:
I have a t-mobile sim in right now my area has hspa on 1900 so I use that for higher speed data than sprint 3G then switch the mode to cdma for voice
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aerostar601:
After you've done the unlock for the Sim, can you see the other available networks while the Sprint sim is still installed or do you have to remove the Sprint Sim and install a T-Mobile or ATT sim for it to be able to "see" other networks??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jesmann:
Only one sim slot and haven't tried. In Settings>mobile data>network mode you can select CDMA only and see Sprint 3G with either SIM in, LTE/CDMA will give Sprint voice with other SIM and Sprint 3G and/or LTE data only if Sprint SIM card in. GSM/UMTS only can only be selected if a GSM sim is inserted if I recall correctly. The GSM options including search networks are only available on that mode.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] El_Colombiano:
It would be cool if I could use T-Mobile's 3G for data and Sprint's CDMA for voice. Is this possible?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
I do not think so not without manually switching the modes on and off. The moment you select the T-Mobile network your voice & phone number will switch to whatever is registered on the T-Mobile sim.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jesmann:
Correct however if you have your sprint number integrated with Google Voice you can use apps like Talkatone or GrooveIP for calls via VoIP while on Tmobile data.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] El_Colombiano:
I like the way you think.
