Firstable ......u might want to erase your IMEI and SN......u do not want to share it. Secondable.....u need to go to www.htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader & u would be able to install custom rom that more stable or u can flash beastmode kernel if u are on Android 4.2.2 sense 5 rom right now or u can just upgrade your firmware to 2.15 since u S-off and supercid

I have deleted those two from my post, but unfortunately you quoted them in your post and I can't delete that... do me a favor? Thanks.

I should have mentioned in the first post that I don't want to root her phone if I don't have to, first priority is to get it running. Second priority is to save the pictures that are on the phone. Everything I have read tells me that the SD contents will be deleted during a factory reset or when rooting, so I am saving those for a last resort.

Is there a way to upgrade the firmware without doing any resets?

btw- I am not the one who turned S-off, it came from the factory like that... fairly confusing to me. Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ted77usa:
ERASED my quote.......:D Well if u like to mod your phone S-off is a good think u can just pretty much do anything with ur phone cuz it by passed security check point..... S-off......I see what u saying....Do not do factory reset from bootloader......try click on recovery by pressing vol up or down to navigate and see what comes up.......if twrp team win comes up.....u good to go.....choose back up ......and u can back all your files .....or connect ur phone to PC using USB cable and choose mount>USB mass storage and save all your files to pc

PS.....BTW if I somehow help you please hit thanks button.....:D

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jkalbin:
Thanks button hit, and I would gladly hit it a dozen times if I can get this phone to work long enough to recover pictures and then try a factory reset. On another forum someone had suggested putting the phone in a fridge for 5 minutes or so and that would somehow let it boot long enough to get the pics via USB. Idk about putting her phone in a fridge though... :silly:

I also forgot to mention I had tried recovery as well, I don't recall seeing TWRP, just 3 or 4 yellow lines of "cache error", then eventually a blue menu. From there I had tried "reboot", same problem. Got back to that screen and tried "clear cache", still the same thing.

Just got to recover again, looks like this:

Android system recovery <3e>

Use volume key to highlight;

click power key to select.

Reboot system now

Apply update from external storage

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Apply update from cache

Apply update from internal storage

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

I have already tried the Reboot option and Clear cache option... should I next be trying to apply an update via external storage? If so, which update? I obviously can't update from internal since I can't send/receive files to the phone in its current state and I never put an update in the phone storage. Thanks again!

Unlock bootloader via HTC dev, install twrp 2.6 recovery then mount usb in recovery and you will have access to sd card
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jkalbin:
Appreciate the help, I am still new to rooting and the like...

Won't unlocking the bootloader wipe the SD? Or will it just wipe the apps and data? I don't much care if I have to reinstall apps, but losing the SD contents I would like to avoid.

I'm also trying to avoid voiding the warranty as the phone is only a month old, is there any way to get the computer to "see" the sd contents through the bootloader without unlocking it? Perhaps a software that the computer could force the phone to show the sd?

Thanks again all!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
I thought it wiped the sd until I did it some stuff was gone but my music and pics remained but that's just my experience, maybe someone else can chime in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jkalbin:
Ah, ok. I'll use that as a last resort then, not voiding the warranty has become a higher priority than recovering the pics. Unless someone suggests another option, I think a factory reset will happen tonight.

Thanks for the help guys, and any other suggestions are gratefully accepted!

Hey xda,yes im a noob an new to android. i recently purchased a htc one from at&t an while i love the phone an all i want to try out the google edition 4.3 software instead of the sense 5 4.3 it has now. I update ota to 4.3 yesterday an sense 5 is cool an all but gpe caught my attention. So my question is how can i root/flash/ruu to try out gpe on my One an see how it works out then go back to sense 5 if i dont like it as gpe? Or in case i return it it'll be back to factory sense 5 with no issues from at&t. Thanks!

Fast answer is, yes, you are able to restore to stock. However, don't expect someone to type out the instructions in this thread. They're all well documented. Spend an hour or two of research learning. Get an understanding of fastboot and ADB, and then come back with relevant questions.

Since getting my m5000 last Friday i've been considering the various uses it could have - from both a personal and business point of view.

Today I installed the VNC viewer software on the m5000 and it lets me remotely control my office desktop computer - plus all of our other workstations (I'm the IT Manager - we use it for remote support).

I'm giving some serious thought to the possibility of not having a desktop PC - instead using my m5000 to it's full capability just using vnc to access a spare computer in the office with all the apps on it i use. this would also work when i'm not in the office.

any views on this? i just thought that with the m5000 practically being a laptop it makes sense to possibly use it instead of a desktop pc.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
i think the concept is more of an addition to a desktop, not a replacement.

its a very useful utility to read information, but when it comes to maniputlating data, ie, editing a huge spreadsheet its not really up to the spec of office on a desktop.

maybe 5years down the line when the software has been developed enough, the hardware is smaller and of higher specs.

but for now, i see it as a portable part of my main systems, and pound for pound the pc is still a way more viable option.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] trevor7428:
So I just figured out this pretty sweet feature.

If you have two windows side by side.

Then replace one window with another app (drop app from multi window bar on top of one of already opened multi window app)

do this a couple times with favorite apps

Now hit the blue dot between the two screens and hit the option on end that I thought looks like a folder

Now you can scroll threw all apps that you had open while in multi window mode.

If you haven't heard of this feature, thanks would be nice:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] umair239:
Can you make the guide more clear because it doesn't make any sense to me? The folder option only opens the apps that are already in the App, what's new here?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TechDude:
So, I have a Nexus 7 LTE with an AT&T Sim and I'm able to receive texts on the mobile number assigned to that sim. Unfortunately this is confusing some that think they can also call that number which leaves them waiting for an answer that never comes.

Does anyone know how to trigger the call forwarding to my Google Voice number (usually through **021*1234567890#) without having a dialer? If I root it and put in the stock dialer (or enable it? I heard it may be there but disabled) will I be able to dial the forwarding codes? I know I can't make calls with the dialer, but I don't know if that necessarily means the codes wouldn't work either.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TechDude:
Update/Correction.

The number only rings for some callers (VoIP callers?). For most people calling my data only number it just tells them that I'm not accepting calls at this time... which is a little better... maybe.

I imagine some people are going to think that means I've blocked them or whatever. Of well. I'll just have to re-educate people to use my Google Voice number as they bring it up.

And this might be a huge favor but, can you ask him if he can bypass the MF3 signature?

He didn't bypass the signature, he just installed the proper stock ROM. Or that's the most likely thing to have done.

If he's able to bypass the signature, he could collect the bootloader bounty.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enferrari:
Hi,

Today I bought a galaxy note 2 off someone and its stuck in a bootloop.

It starts up and goes the Verizon 4G LTE screen and that's it.

I tried going into recovery and it says E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

I've tried using Odin and the phone to flash a stock file but they just dont work. Odin stopped working when the top thing said flashing recovery then it changed to "fail" in a red box. On the bottom it said Complete (write) operation failed.

Any ideas. Worst case its a parts phone but I really think/hope its fixable.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enferrari:
I should add that when Odin fails the device says something about a firmware error and to use the Kies software. The Kies software just hangs at "connecting" so I was able to exit out of that message by going back to Odin and JUST using the 16gb PIT file. Then after that, I'm back to step 1 where it hangs at the 4G LTE bootloop.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Use Odin, flash the alternate restore package with PIT file and repartition selected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enferrari:
I googled the alternate restore package and I downloaded one from a thread that you made. It downloads as a tar.md5.xz file and then Odin can't recognize it. Any ideas? Also whats the difference between VRAM and VRAL in the files since I found two files with those names in that thread.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enferrari:
Alright, After making a folder I got the 7z file to extract into a tar.md5 and restored my note 2 with the PIT file as well. It went through successfully and Odin said it was successful. Upon restart the phone was still in a boot loop. I went into recovery and it says "failed to mount /efs" again :( Any more tips
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34891181

In section 1b, use the vramc3 file and pit file. If that doesnt work, try it with both files and reparation checked. As a note, this vramc3 is the actual stock software and will relock the phone so if it works and boots, you will need to use casual to unlock it again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I had the exact same issue recently. Failed to mount EFS partition (If you see this in your stock recovery, you have a HUGE issue on your hands)... Stuck in a bootloop no matter if Odin is successful or not. Nothing I did booted it back up. So I thought I was screwed.

Now if none of the above methods work for you, I HIGHLY suggest you check out mobiletechvideos.com. They take care of bricks, which sounds like that's where you're at.. They fix EFS issues, and everything you can think of. They have great reviews. And I actually took the plunge and went to them to fix my phone at the time.. I paid for the unbrick service, a new USB cord, and rush processing. Cost around $100. Which costs me a lot less than buying another phone and/or using my upgrade.

Once my phone returned, I factory resetted the phone, and all was perfect. I suggest you trying that if these methods don't work for you. I can thank [MENTION=4201344]ForeverSupra[/MENTION] for sending me to them.

Try the VRALJB alternate restore package. It has an xz extension, but 7zip can extract it. There may be an issue with the VRAMC3 package, but I haven't had a chance to look into it to confirm and/or fix it.

Ok I'll try that. I tried the VRAMC3 and it said it was successful but it was still stuck in a boot loop :(. Will download the VRALJB and keep you guys updated.

Just bought a Galaxy Note 3 with Verizon and the signal was pretty good until I got home.

I've been getting 1-2 bars on 4G LTE, (Which is 10-15% of the time). A good 20% I have 3G with 1-2 bars.

The rest of the time I do not even have 3G.

When i have 4G LTE the speedtest is 1.37 down, 0.20 MBps up. When I have 3G its 58 kbps down and 208 kbps up.

Completely baffles me.

Signal strength is -99dBm.

Any suggestions? I'm about to go return it and go back to my Galaxy S3 with US Cellular.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ovidescu_SGS2:
I'm not sure I qualify to post in this thread, but I am in a similar situation.

Bought a Note 3 (SM-N9005) in Europe, Romania, running on Vodafone. I have noticed weird signal variations in places where my old Galaxy S2 had no problem, both at work and at home.

Signal reception would drop from 1-2 bars HSPA+ to no signal at all, when my Note 3 reads as not registered on network.

Signal strength varies from -75 dBm to -110 dBm (when I'm close to no signal at all). I have baseband/build number N9005XXUBMJ1.

Have even contacted local Samsung office and they suggested I simply factory reset my phone to try and fix problem with poor reception.

I have googled this poor reception issue and so far found that people are complaining about it only in the USA. Maybe as time passes and more Note 3 units are sold, more people will report this.
