is it worth an upgrade from .67?
[Xperia Z General] mamenvn:
Dear shoey63,

Plz convert the baseband ftf to zip. :)

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Probably just the baseband, as it is the only real difference - apart from having latest build number :p File for that is in OP.

If on .244 or below, I would flash the whole FTF.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
An FTF file is a ZIP file... Just open it with WinRAR or any other archiver and you'll see.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
+1

Also, you need FTF format to flash with flashtool

Edit: Baseband can't be flashed with a CWM flashable zip.
[Xperia Z General] mamenvn:
i want to install ZIP files manually in CWM Recovery
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
You need to use Flashtool to flash basebands. Besides, I don't think it's useful to flash this alternate baseband version unless you're using 3 AT, 3 DK, 3 SE, Orange FR or T-Mobile NL network.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
See my edited post above;)
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Any new baseband is a good one as far as I am concerned. It may be aimed at "3" customers, but there could be benefits to others as well.

Edit: In particular, WIFI.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
It's not because the build number is a little higher, that it's necessarily better. They may first have created a generic baseband (.67) and then tweaked it for certain networks (.74). That doesn't mean that .74 has benefits for other networks too, it might even have downsides.

My recommendation: use the baseband for the networks it was intended. There'll be a reason that Sony is releasing .67 firmware to most devices and at the same time .74 only for certain operators.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Ok. If anyone has issues, I will add generic 2.67 baseband to OP in download section.

Edit: I'm more interested in WIFI improvements.
[Xperia Z General] kamalmawa:
I don't think there will be any WiFi improvements over .67 as there's no changes done to Kernel.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:

hi can anyone help

How to I change this to am ftf file as download it and it's a bin file that you can't flash it flash tools
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Sure just change your customization number in build.prop useing Apollos guide

Under settings/more/Mobile networks/Network modes you can select from the following:-

LTE(preferred)/WCDMA/GSM

WCDMA only

WCDMA/GSM

If you select option 1 or 3, you will get GSM (2G) in the absence of LTE/WCDMA availability.

I'm on CM 10.1.3 on a C6603. The baseband is showing as 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110057-39 - I flashed the OP ftf baseband with Flashtool 0.9.12.1 but the baseband did not change.

Is what I am trying to achieve (update CM 10.1.3 baseband to latest version) possible?

EDIT: Found the answer http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46189739

The baseband has updated but phone will not show the correct version string. When I first updated the baseband, the phone took an extra minute to lock on to a phone signal so I'm pretty sure the baseband changed.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Yeah, happens on every ROM. Baseband stays the same in settings no matter which bb is flashed, even though it has changed. (build.prop thing?) You will only ever see bb. 47 if on 2.74.
[Xperia Z General] Blackroc86:
Not having any luck flashing this ftf to my 6603. Tried it a couple of times and it just hangs and can't load the system.

Is there another generic 10.3.1.A.2.74 ftf one can download?
[Xperia Z General] PR0XIDIAN:
I just wanted to thank you. I couldn't find the T-Mobile stock rom, sony's companion software couldn't restore my bricked phone either. Using this I got a base rom on my phone even though I live in the US, and was able to repair it. You saved my phone mate. :D
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Use 7zip to check the archive for errors.

Also, make sure you are on latest version of flashtool. There is another .274 version here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2478338 if you want to try it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
I think the gloved hand and waterproofing features would go great with a motorcycle handlebar mount. ;)

The whole reason I ditched iOS years ago was to use a Bluetooth watch with physical buttons to control my music, see caller ID (decide to reject or pull over for calls), and FEEL the incoming call notification while on the bike. Even when I was still using iPhones in 2008, my brand new $300 iPhone 3G I had just purchased at launch was ruined even though I was still dry (pockets somehow filled with mist kicked up from the road). :( These features would be important to me, especially now that no one makes anything like the Sony Ericsson MBW-series Bluetooth watches anymore (touch-screens and ePaper gizmos, need not apply).

I already ordered my Note 3 because I didn't hear anything about other versions but there's still time to cancel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oalex:
You cant have everything. If you give up stylus you could have gone for Sony Z Ultra.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmstar:
Yes, before the end of the year...

And an assortment of other colors on the normal n3 as well:cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Originally, the Galaxy Note 3 was rumored to have a flexible screen. Back then I thought that they might just seal it from moisture and make the standard model similar enough in utility that there was no need for an "Active" version, especially since the stylus would allow for full use of the screen and touch keys with gloves. Follow-up rumors were that they couldn't make the flexible screen in high-enough volume for it to be the standard screen, so I began hoping that they would still release an "Active" version incorporating it.

Now, I read this:

http://www.androidorigin.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-5-things-to-know-before-buying/

Hmm... "exactly the same hardware as the original" except for a flexible screen? I was at least expecting water-proofing. Heck, I was also expecting a cut-down camera, physical menu/back keys, glove support, etc too. I was even willing to accept a 720p screen while we were at it.

Cancel my GNote 3 preorder or sell it once this is announced? I'm really torn.

Where did you hear this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobturismo:
That's a good question.

I think we're at the point that the residual resale value on these phones is high enough that you could sell yours and buy whatever without taking too much of a hit.

Also people are usually more than willing to trade straight across once the device comes out, or they get one for free from work or contest and want something else, or even for a few bucks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmstar:
Friends in the telco business....

And yes, it's not the news on the flexible screen.... that will be another product line all together...

Most likely will be like an S4 active.. previous gen screen, 8MP cam and cheaper.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Yeah, so it's probably nothing to lose sleep over. Now I just need to get all those "ZOMG REGION LOCK!" guys to quit spreading misinformation and ruining my resale value (not nearly all are region-locked).

Ah. Good to know. :) I think I am the perfect example of the target market for such a device so it's disappointing that they haven't announced anything yet. Everyone is buying the wrong thing!

Can word travel the other direction as well? Another thing I'd love to see: Stylus gloves or stylus pins/buttons that can be attached to gloved fingertips.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Should I give up hope or is there still an Active Note 3 expected even after the Galaxy Round announcement?

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] zgx:
The over the air update from 4.3 (JLS36C) to 4.3.1 (JLS36I) is out.

This update can fail if the /system/build.prop file has been modified

by, for example, 'pimp my rom', or 'rom toolbox' or 'android tweaker'.

You can spot this situation by the error message that occurs when

the update reboots into recovery, and displays an error message:

....

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop",.....

If you see this, the workaround is to reinstall the 4.3 version of the

/system/build.prop file, contained in the zipped file below. TWPR

for example, has a file manager that will allow you to copy this

from the internal 'SD' card to the /system partition.

Cheers,

zgx
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] mrpickem:
So mine updated yesterday. I let it auto update. I had CM10 & TWRP. The 4.3.1 succeded and works great. However, now the TWRP is gone and no root access. I was quite surprised it just overwrote the CM rom and the update even worked in TWRP. I am very surprised, but pleased. :)

I guess root process is the same...just start again.

Edit: I used Nexus 7 2013 TOOLKIT V1.0.2 to reroot and it installs twrp 2.6.0. Then I updated through goomanager to 2.6.3 and everything is working beautifully!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] oldarney:
I updated fine, twrp survived, but I lost root and it won't come back. I am flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/204 using twrp and it just won't give me root... Strange. Anyone else have a flashable N7 LTE root zip?

Update: I was using an Ancient zip file. Here is the URL to get the latest. download.chainfire.eu/supersu
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] HowardZ:
You need to use the latest version of superSU - here

http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] alpine101:
I did update to that version when I did mine, but I got the dreaded 'there is no SU binary' message, even though I'd also used TWRP to update to 1.65. So root didn't work. Eventually I got it to work by getting TWRP to put the old 1.60 version back, then running the install for 1.65 from the Play store again, and that seemed to sort out the issue. There does seem to be some incompatibility somewhere at times between the user level part of SuperSU and the low level binary, but hopefully I've now got all the bits compatible with each other...

Since I don't do these things often, it also took me time to find a reminder in a post somewhere that the OTA downloaded files end up in /cache. Once I'd found the location, TWRP handled the update itself with no problem, it just initially left me with TWRP but no root any more.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] amf:
I also got the apply_patch_check error.

I flashed (via fastboot on Mac) the stock image from Google then let the N7 D/L and apply the OTA 4.3.1 update. Then I re-flashed TWRP and re-rooted. Done in less than 10 minutes
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] ssglackey:
I have installed OTA update without error, followed by reboot, but it took me to TWRP. So I have flashed SuperSu 1.65 and booted to OS, but system is still 4.3 and no update is pending to install (also manual check says that there is no update for me).

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] ptau:
I believe the cleanest (admittedly brute-force) way is first to flash the JLS36I factory images and then again the TWRP, su, what ever.

Even after the ota from stock JLS36C I've seen some strange looking dalvik errors in the log :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] suffer1989:
So, backup all apps using titanium backup (and a nandroid if paranoid), then in TWRP, do a factory format, then flash the stock JLS36I through TWRP, and then reboot, then use ADB for TWRP restore, and then use TWRP to flash Super Su ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] ptau:
Except I don't think you can flash JLS36I through TWRP:confused: I've just run the fastboot commands from flash-all.sh as

described here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions

That basically re-flashes and wipes everything to a clean build JLS36I.

(The Nexus's famous unbreakable feature ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] HowardZ:
My approach has been to be stock rooted and always ready for an OTA update.

Thus, I do not install TWRP, but instead connect the tablet to the PC and boot TWRP when needed (fastboot boot filename.img).

This way I keep my stock recovery installed in the tablet.

Also, before rooting or changing anything I made a backup with TWRP of the virgin non-rooted system.

Then I installed superSU to root.

Surprisingly, the OTA failed, and I don't know what I did to the system which would make it fail.

My solution was to boot TWRP via fastboot command, and restore the BOOT and SYSTEM partitions from the virgin system TWRP backup.

After that, the OTA installed without any issues.

Howard
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] ptau:
Looking at the OTA updater-script it patches the system , boot and there are

many bootloader partition (+ backup) updates:

package_extract_file("bootloader-flag.txt", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc");

...

However before it does anything it checks all the destination blobs aganst 2 sha1 hashes eg.:

assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.apk", "a856b3d2514718d836bd2f7337a4df6a298fb95f", "19153dd479861c5a74f1effeff8c76dbc9c86027"));

assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.odex", "f38367a96e435cc42bfac94c8c83ee46fc908ebf", "f7c5ab674289a33f3e146d085cb11192c659a90b"));

the one sha1 is here from JLS36C and the other one from JLS36I. Means, I guess,

that you can run the OTA even on a partially updated system.

It would be easy to write a simple program that checks the file/sha1

and prints what's modified or missing ...
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] suffer1989:
Does anybody know where I might be able to get cwm/twrp flashable JLS36I images ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] dave-:
You don't need them if you want to go back to stock? Follow one of the guides/use a tool? If you're ok with fastboot, its really only a handful of commands once you have the factory image.

Side note, both the factory images have the same filenames for the bootloader and baseband which is incorrect. The baseband should be radio-deb-deb-g00_2.25.1_0802 in both cases and bootloader in lastest version is 03.15.

EDIT: SOLVED!!!!

turns out that Telus somehow makes your phone switch from isp.telus.com to sp.telus.com. You must delete any SP.Telus.com APNs. Just to be saved, I deleted all the preset APN's and added my own with no Proxy or Port no. **additionally, i had a security app that was sending texts that there was an unauthorized SIM in my phone. If you have any security app in your phone, make sure you log into it and register the SIM, otherwise it will send texts using the tablets number which will be very expensive.

Hello. This is my first post and I'm sorry if i break any rules, but I haven't found any solution after several days of research.

I have a Nexus 4, Root, Cyanogenmod 10.3, 4.3.

Today I went to Telus and got a SIM that i said was for an ipad so that i could use a Data-only Flex plan with Voip app (Fongo).

I have used this for about a year with Fido, but I liked the Flex bracketing used by Telus.

When I put the SIM in the phone, I went straight to The APN settings. there were three APNs there, one sp.kooddo, one sp.telus, and one isp.telus. I know ipads require the APN isp.telus.com so i selected the last (isp.telus.com), however after use of 1mb, my account showed pay-per-use usage amounting to $6. the preset isp.telus is named "Telus SP Tether." I'm thinking the problem might still be in the APN name. I deleted both the sp.telus ones just to be extra safe.

I added an APN as recommended on the Telus site for ipads/tablets:

APN: isp.telus.com

Proxy: 74.49.0.18

Port: 80

the preset isp.telus.com (Telus SP Tether) had proxy and port empty, but their MMA proxy and MMS port had the above settings.

I don't know if this is was the problem.

There was one thread on XDA about successful setup of Telus tablet flex data SIM in GS3, however, i could not follow their steps because of different menu functionality in the N4. (thread)

OP recomended to make APN, then press BACL instead of SAVE, and then select Radio Button. But if i go back without saving, the APN is cleared and there is no Radio Button.

Telus had put $10 worth of charges for text messages i didn't send. I had Telus block sending and receiving texts, but they still go through and get charged. strangely it's to my moms and borthers cells and its at exact same times (to the second) (e.g. Telus has it that I sent 7 messages at exactly each of these times to both contacts: 3:00:00, 4:00:00, 5:00:00, and 10:00:00). I have no idea what these are....

Additionally, Telus never asked for my IMEI (Fido did require an IMEI of an ipad). when i called in to Telus, they read back the IMEI they had, and it was of the N4. could they be blocking me access to FLEX plan and forcing me into pay as you go?

Thank you for all your help.

So Best Buy Doubling there money seems a little selfish to me. will anyone be taking this offer? If not what Will you be doing with the original 10.1?

Tmobile is doing something similar, which offer I did take advantage of. I traded in my Note 2 for credit towards my Note 3. Tmobile is offering $275 for the Note 2. Which I thought was far. Cause they do have to resell and make a profit.

I Looked how much best buy was offering for note 2. Which is $200 and only If in perfect condition. If all Best Buys trade in's are giving offers like these, I Cannot see how anyone would want to do it, Has anyone used Best Buy's trade in service? Where you satisfied? How much did you get, for what device?
