[General Questions and Answers] 7eregrine:
I know this question gets asked A LOT.

This one has a slight twist that deals with Asurion's WARRANTY... not the Insurance.

Quick synopsis:

Broke phone, Paid Asurion and got replacement

Had an SD Card error or 2... thought nothing of it

It was on old FW: Rooted and Unlocked BL

Tried a ROM. Tried Another. Fell in love

SD Card errors got more frequent

Obviously this phone has a hardware issue. Rooting and Unlocking would not cause the SD Card to fail, we know this. Plus I've seen this issue on Droidforums from Stock folks.

So basically I just want to get it back to looking stock as Asurion will replace it. THe one thing I cannot seem to find is how to ensure the Unlocked Bootloader warning doesn't return.

[Q] If I run the Razr HD Utility will the UL BL message return?

[Q] If so, do I have any other option???

Hi, This is my first posting - please be kind.

After setting up a WPA-PSK authentication on my wireless router, I can’t connect to the Internet with my XDAIIi. I have configured Network Authentication on XDAIIi to match the one on the router and error message I’m getting is:

“Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you”. I have checked the SSID and password on both the router and XDAIIi and they match.

How do I enter the a personal certificate to positively identify myself? Any ideas?

PS. My laptop works fine with the same settings.

Hi,

I have patchy 3g but a good 2g signal when at home. The problem I have is my Z1 keeps flipping between the bad 3g and the good 2g.

When I'm at home I would like it to be forced to use the good 2g signal only so I would like it if the phone worked from 2g only when it recognises my home wifi.

My original thought was tasker but when I tried it, the radio section is not available, saying not compatible with this device.

Anyone know what else I could use ?

Thanks,

malty
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
When connected to wifi, doesn't the phone just turn off all mobile data? Mine doesn't show 2g or 3g or any indication of any mobile data being active when on wifi. Unless I'm missing something?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltloaf:
It's not data that's the problem. for calls and texts it is still connected to either a 2g or 3g mast. I need it to be looking for and connecting to a 2g mast only, since the 3g mast where I live is poor signal and is intermittent but since the phone would prefer a 3g over a 2g signal, it tries to connect to it anyway.

As stated I would like it to be in GSM (2G) only mode when I'm at home and automatically switch to 3g(preferred) and 2g when away from home.

Hi,

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but you could try installing this ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463675

It's listed to have a force 2g option and you might be able to find a way to automatically trigger it.

I also found a Radio Switcher app in the Play Store, but again, not perfect.

Hope this helps.

As far as I know, you can't have automated 3g to 2g switching even with a rooted device because android prohibits it.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exry:
From what I've read changing network settings is protected by Android, and thus not possible if running a rooted stock-rom.

If someone comes up with an idea how to rescan/update the settings without a reboot that works (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230207), please tell as I also have horribly bad coverage of >3G at home.
[HTC Sensation] Connor1744:
Previously, i tried to update my Sensations Firmware to 3.3.2 (TMOUS) and it failed and gave a CID error (Something like that)

After that it wont boot up, i get a bit of the boot image from the installed rom and it gets cut short and the phone restarts. (Stuck in boot loop)

Ive tried to change the ROM but Clockwork mod touch recovery keeps giving me an error, ive tried every rom possible. (Error 1)

I have tried wiping the phone and everything ans still nothing works.

When i boot into recovery (CM v5.8.0.9) it said:

E: Cant open /cache/recovery/log

E: Cant open /cache/recovery/log

E: Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

I waited several minutes and nothing happend. I removed the battery and tried to reopen it. It showed me Sony logo, Xperia, then blank screen, and restarted again. It keeps doing that, without opening for good. I tried to repair it with sony companion, but i cant get it connected due the fact it still restarting and keep disconecting from pc. What shall i do?

Not even opening fastboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
Just flash official ftf back with vol down. No need to press power button when you're booting to flash mode or fastboot mode. Just press vol + (fastboot) or vol - (flash) and plug in USB.

Flashing the formware does not require unlocking the phoen.

Which lock is it SIM or bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] narciseduard:
It said that SIM is blocked. And my problem is in the 1st post. My doesnt come up anymore. It just shows me Soy and Xperia logo, then switch off, and keeps doing that, without going on for good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
First shut it down, press power + volume down until you feel 3 vibrations (about 10 seconds)m if not take out the battery for a minute.

Download flashtool install and open it and connect in flash mode. It's wither volume down and connecting to pc or colume down, I am not sure about XU. If it shows it's connecting in flash mode and stay in this mode for about 45 seconds you can repair with PC Companion or flash with SUS
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] narciseduard:
I dont have to shut it on cuz it aint go on lol. It stays on on flash mod, but when i open sony companion to fix it, it tells me to remove the batter and put it back. But if i dont open it in flash mode, it never comes up, and its connecting and disconnecting from pc in 5 secs.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
You wan't to fix it or not? it's on boot loop not shut off, shut it off.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] narciseduard:
I think i finnaly managed to fix it. I downloaded SUS and fallowed the steps. Now i`m waiting for the phone to come up.

Meanwhile.

It works !!!! Thank you so much for your help, i cant say how much i`m greatful to you! Thank you ! So it worked with SUS. Thanks everyone for your time and help !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t4duzan:
Sorry if this has been addressed, but the search function in XDA has been down for the last couple of days. I have a problem when I turn on my phone from the lock screen, the Accuweather widget will display "Restart Widget, Problem loading widget". Not a big deal as it has a button to easily do that, but it can be restarted, I can lock the phone, and 5 seconds later unlock it and it will display this. It doesn't do it all of the time, but probably half of the time. It will do it with the normal widget and the transparent one as well. I don't think it's the widget because I have other widgets (like a kill apps button that will display the text "Ending All Applications" and it won't work all of the time either. I never noticed this before I rooted my phone. I have an AT&T S4 with MF3 firmware. This happens while on stock or custom roms also. Anyone have any similar happenings or suggestions to help?

[Q] Does the At&T version have the same good soundchip as the international versions?

I always use my Sony MDR7506 headphones at night to listen to music with my phone. A lot of my classical collection contains FLAC and I do a lot of recording myself (saving out to lossless). Does the AT&T version have the pro audio chip for playback? The US version of the S4 seems pretty lousy when it comes to playback. While we're at it... I use VLC for music as well as video. Anyone know of anything better that I'm missing out on?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herwegan:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
:laugh::good:

IMHO, keep S-Off no matter what, even if you have to return it for warranty (hopefully not) or even sell it. some phones are actually shipped with S-Off and (from what I've read) it's very difficult to say that you "tampered" with your phone because you have s-off. several people (on the posts) have returned their phones to service center for repair, and got them back s-off again. no complaints, unless it said RELOCKED, UNLOCKED, or TAMPERED in the bootloader. S-Off is OK.

now you can go ahead and get it back to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenmaster828:
Last time I tried using Sprint 1.31.651.2, now that I am on S-OFF, can I use 1.29.651 version since that is a .exe version instead of a .zip version? I'm also asking this so I can strictly follow QBKING77's tutorial on going back to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Don't know "QBKING77's tutorial", but you can use pretty much any RUU now that you're S-Off. Downgrading is possible thanks to S-Off. Just stick to SPRINT RUUs, ROMs etc, as I understand they (and possibly Verizon) are different from other carriers.

And remember to keep S-Off, that will always allow you to downgrade if needed or flash firmware, etc.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljthom:
How do you get S-Off after custom ROM

So I'm also getting the "12 signature verify fail" the OP was getting... I don't have (never have had) S-Off.

Can't run the RUU w/o S-Off apparently, but also apparently can't get S-Off with this ROM? Halp! How do I get out of this situation?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Check the date in bootloader; if it's before June 2013, then revone should work. If the date is June or after then it's a patched hboot 1.44, and you need to downgrade before running revone, check this thread it has the downgrade instruction (T-Mob and ATT only): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2431515

and remember you need to be on a Sense 5, 4.1.2 based ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljthom:
So this is part of what I'm struggling with... It seems I can't get S-Off without being on a Sense 5/4.1.2 ROM, but how can I get that ROM loaded without S-Off? All the "stock" images I've found seem to all be RUUs or otherwise not work with S-On. What am I missing here?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- first thing, did you check the bootloader date? if it's the patched 1.44 (ie June 2013 or after) then if you do the downgrade (only for ATT and T-Mobile), I think that also includes the ROM.

2- and just to get a Sense 5/4.1.2 based ROM on your phone, you just flash it through custom recovery (any custom or stock ROM will do), if you can't find one I'll PM you a link to one that worked for me, but first check point 1
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljthom:
Thanks nkk71... So yeah, hboot, while v. 1.44, is dated Jul 5, 2013. So it looks like I need to downgrade that. But as you note, that link says I have to be on a stock Sense 5 ROM. I have found a TMO Germany rom, but I haven't yet found an AT&T one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
I just took a quick look at the ATT downgrade guide and the first thing it asks (actually point 3) is to install a nandroid backup, that will put the correct Sense 5 ROM on your phone, no need to go look for one.

Hit the thanks button if I've helped :)

[HTC Droid DNA] waldojim:
Ok, this may be answered elsewhere, I don't know. "Search is temporarily unavailable" I am trying to understand how I am supposed to work with the backup from CWM. I understand that I should have a System image that I can work in, but what I have is 3 files in its place. System.ext4.tar, System.ext4.tar.a, and System.ext4.tar.b. All three files are broken to some degree.

System.ext4.tar is a zero byte file.

System.ext4.tar.a appears to be a spanned tar file that 7ZIP/WinRAR simply think was cut-off (never asks for the second file, and complains of unexpected End of Archive)

System.ext.4.tar.b appears to be the second part of the archive, but nothing will open it.

So, how do I get to a point I have a complete archive that I can edit? Or do I need to use different software than CWM to back up the phone?

Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Droid DNA] waldojim:
Well, I found a solution for now. Fire up Linux, use cat to combine all three files, then use tar to extract the contents. Not sure why this needed split in the first place, but at least the files can be extracted.
[HTC Droid DNA] waldojim:
I have managed to remove the APKs I do not want, and made a new system.ext4.tar file (all in Linux), but need to know what else I have to do to make the system image usable.

I found several guides on making a ZIP file, but I didn't want to necessarily go through all that. I backed up everything, so what I would like to know, is what all needs to change so that I can use the separate files as they are, and simply do a CWM "restore" function?

I know I sound like a complete noob at this point, and will deal with the related comments. However, please understand, I don't want the heavily modified rom packs. I simply wanted a rom VOID of all the Verizon bloatware, and have the Verizon tethering restraints removed. I have them all disabled now, and 3rd party tethering is working quite well. So I would rather not have that garbage wasting space. Right now, it looks like I may save 250MB or so.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Backups really aren't meant to be unzipped and played with. Usually bloat removal is done while booted into the system or you can unpackage a Rom and remove the bloat there and then repackage it and flash it then make your backup that doesn't contain any bloat. Using the xda kitchen tools from dsxda I believe is the name
[HTC Droid DNA] waldojim:
I think this is where some of my confusion comes from - it was never zipped. There was a group of tarred files, an MD5sum and a few other items. But nothing there was zipped.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
I guess what I meant to say by "zipped" was just in general they are compressed by the recovery in a way that it knows how to go and use them to restore data to the device.
