You must have a Sim in order to activate on Sprint. I tried over the phone, chat, and self service and was unable to activate without a SIM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeballer:
Can you remove the sim after activation? I read somewhere that someone just had 3g on Sprint with no sim, but can't find where.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammester:
I would think once you activate it you could remove the SIM and just get 3g service but I can't say that with 100% accuracy. You could give it a try using the T-mobile $3 a day plan to make sure it works that way your not out a whole month of service.

There is no "activating" on T-mobile and AT&T. The activation lies with the SIM card. I can swap out a T-mobile SIM or an AT&T SIM anytime I want.

Hi all,

Not sure whether this has been asked before (I searched the forum for it, but couldn't find any directly related subjects):

Does anyone have problems with receiving files from other phones/MDAs using Bleutooth?

I am experiencing problems with this: I can send files to other devices using bluetooth, but somehow I can't receive any files (it fails every time I try).

I already tried with enabling/disabling the incoming port, choosing a serial profile, etc, but nothing worked.

Does anyone have a a solution?

BTW: my bluetooth connections to my headset and BT GPS mouse all work.

Thanks in advance!

Desmo.
[Networking] jfran:
for receiving files from a pc, you pretty much need to have BT turned on that the devices paired. For receiving files from other handsets etc, you need to ensure that your device is discoverable to other devices in the BT settings (start->settings-> connection-> BT make sure both boxed are checked)

HTH

[Networking] desmodromic:
Thnx for the reply, but I already tried that. I put Bluetooth in several modes, on and discoverable. In both modes I could only send data, but couldn't receive data from other sources like another MDA or phone.

I also tried changin the inbound and outbound COM options, didn't work either.....

Can anyone help pls pls?
[Networking] Sirius-C:
I have the same problem on my o2 xda exec.

I switch on bluetooth, & make it discoverable by other devices.

I can send files no problem but when i try to receive files from another phone, the other phone says "sending failed" all the time.

Ive tried with an established partnership and without, make my device discoverable, messed with the incoming/outgoing com port settings etc etc

pretty much everything i can think of but to no avail.

Anyone else had this problem and managed to over come it?
[Networking] Sirius-C:
Ahah

Sorted it.

If you upgraded to the lastes o2 rom 1.13.188 the accept incoming beams is turned off by default.

Just enable start>settings>connections>beam "enable all incoming beams"

enable bluetooth, make your device discoverable.

Now you can receive files over bluetooth.

No need to mess with com incoming/outgoing ports.
[Networking] desmodromic:
Thnx Sirius-C! That should work indeed.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulkatos:
Hey guys,

slowly I really get in trouble. I think the bootloader is bricked and i can use the phone as a door stopper.

I tell you what happens:

Long time ago i decided to root my phone. so I unlocked it via htcdev.com. After success I wanted to S-Off the bootloader with revone. But it failed, because of hboot 1.54.

Then I installed ARHD via TWRP and flashed boot.img via fastboot.

Long time every thing went fine, until yesterday it stoped to work and started bootloops. I managed to start the bootloader but nothing else. No ROM, no recovery (stucks on first twrp screen).

bootloader info says:

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000

Link to photo of the bootloader

What i tried until now (without any results):

"fastboot erase cache" to get access to recovery

"fastboot oem reboot RUU" to install a new hboot --> boots to white "quietly brilliant" screen, reboots then to bootloader

It would be great if someone can help me or can give me some tipps to unbrick this phone.

Thanks to all helpers.

Greetings Bulaktos
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
What RUU did you flash? Seeing as you're S-off you need to be extremely careful with RUUs and you might have flashed the wrong one, if you've flashed a downgrade then your device is bricked.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulkatos:
I didn't flashed any ruu. I only flashed the recovery and the boot.img for Arhd.

Until now I didn't flashed any firmware.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtbikerr450:
We dont flash boot.img anymore the bootloader 1.54 does not will the command fastboot flash boot.img. flash ARHD again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Just

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recoveryname.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Select recovery

Flash any rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulkatos:
[MENTION=5399368]n1234d[/MENTION]

Thats all? I will gave it a try, when I have time. What about the bootloader? It seems to me that it is broken on a strange way.

Can I repair it on any way?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Your bootloader is absolutely fine, it's just your recovery/rom. Just reflash both and you'll be good to go.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulkatos:
Okay, sounds good.

Another question:

I've read that I need the hboot 1.55 for Android 4.3, and Arhd 30 is based on 4.3. So I have to update the bootloader anyway?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Nope, you don't *need* 1.55 for a 4.3 rom, you'll be good with 1.54. If you OTA or RUU, it'll update automatically.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulkatos:
mh, seems more difficult to be.

fastboot erase cache -> says okay

fastboot flash recovery cwm.img -> says "okay"

fastboot reboot-bootloader -> reboots phone to white HTC bootscreen, then I reboot to hboot manually and choose recovery. twrps want to boot (but freeze)

It seems to me, that the command to flash the recovery didn't worked very well. What can I still do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenchen399:
try flashing the latest TWRP recovery. It can be found somewhere around here....

You can always try just restoring via RUU too, you just need to be in fastboot mode in order for it to work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulkatos:
I did so. same results.

Fastboot reboot-bootloader -> reboots phone normal

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img -> twrp won't start
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenchen399:
Try re flashing the hboot then, but you have to be s-off to do this. The only other way I can think of is RUU

how to flash a zip in fastboot? flashing the img-file via "fastboot flash recovery name.img" don't work (like all other commands).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim Shady:
ur experiencing problems so try these two methods:

1.) Extract the zip and flash the recovery the usual way

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

2.) open the zip file and edit the android text file in accordance to ur mid cid and mainver save and save it.You will need stock recovery for this method if dont have it here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/wq2t9fctnn9186j/stockrecovery.img

to flash stock recovery follow the steps in method 1 then follow the steps given below :

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot oemRUU

fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip

then it will fail once

again the same command

fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip

when it shows it is finished in cmd type

fastboot reboot-bootloader

either of them should lead to a working recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yep:

fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img

fastboot erase cache <- if you dont do this after flashing a recovery, it will most like either freeze or reboot without entering recovery

fastboot reboot-bootloader

-> enter RECOVERY

BTW: I took a look at the screenshot, does it really say in red text OS-2.24X161XX (!RR!XXXX) ??

He has S-ON so careful flashing firmware! It has to be signed and it's a one way ticket with S-On, no downgrade possible. And remember "fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip" usually has to be done twice (the first one usually fails and says "FAILED flush again immediately" the second time it should show success)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim Shady:
thanks for pointing it out actually forgot to mention it again and he is s-on that's why the second method cause that usually works.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you mean "edit the android text file in accordance to ur mid cid and mainver save and save it"? He can give it a try but I don't think it will work, as soon as he edits the android.txt file, the firmware.zip will become unsigned, and won't pass with S-On.

Hi there

I today received the small bug fix update that gets sent for the 4.3 download to be seen.

As it was a small update I downloaded it and it installed fine over my 3g data connection. Then asked me to restart so I did.

On restart I checked for the main update and the update doesn't show. And the checking seems to take ages checking sometimes not completing and going on for 5mins or more.

I have done *#*#CHECKIN#*#* which works fine.

Just don't understand why the update isn't showing been trying for hours since the small bug fix update.

Anyone else experience anything similar.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifitrekkie:
When you go into setting>about phone>software update is it ticked download over wifi only?

If so suggest you first just reboot phone, then you could try to boot into bootloader and type fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot and try to see if you can down load update again.

I just downloaded the small update, I am now downloading the 3.62 update

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howjord:
Also the checking for software doesn't seem to be acting as it has always done.

Checking takes forever and usually doesn't give me the "your device is up to date" message at all. If the screen goes off during checking the checking stops or if the screen is rotated. Even tried it putting screen timeout to 10 minutes and just has "checking" on the entire time.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howjord:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mudavo:
Seems there is some confusion on what is currently going on with the 4.3 MJA update and development. The MJA update is a patch file, NOT a full rom. Devs had to update OR use someone else that has updated in order to get the TW 4.3 system image. NOW....

The recent MJA update was major in terms of firmware in that Knox was incorporated. (firmware on the GS4 is the bootloader, recovery and modem/radio. the ROM is the OS) Currently, once you update to the new MJA bootloader you can't go back.

Why would you go back? Well Knox is a pain in the a$$ and trips the flash counter in the bootloader, which will most likely void your warranty. For crack flashers this is a nightmare. If you do not care about tripping the flash counter make sure right after you succesfully update to MJA you make a nand back up of stock MJA with Philz Touch CWM recovery found here: http://d-h.st/WUe Flash this in odin 3.07. This is so you can restore to stock if you mess up your system. There are many reports of issues restoring a nand backup of stock MJA with TWRP and other recoveries.

Devs are currently VERY close on getting a MJA 4.3 rom up and running with a custom kernel. Why a custom kernel? There are reported issues with bootloops after flashing a MJA 4.3 rom in the MF9 bootloader. The stock MJA kernel will not boot if you're still on the MF9 bootloader.

To sum up:

If all you want is rooted TW 4.3 MJA and you don't care about tripping the flash counter go ahead and update to full MJA then immediately nand backup.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptorseye:
I have a question please...

so when you talk about tripping the knox counter...

would this happen every time you flash something?

so like if im getting my flash on 2-3 times a day this would make it tick up one 2-3 times?

is there any difference between knox being tripped from 0x1 to 0xFiftyMillion? I mean once its tripped does it really matter to sprint/Samsung or is there some kind of threshold? will it eventually brick device or something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ROMANTiC KiD:
The knox flag doesnt trip every time you flash. It uses binary numbers so its only 0x0 or 0x1 thats it. Once its tripped there is no way or reversing the it back to 0x0. People have confirmed that sprint will still take phone with 0x1 but that voids your warranty with samsung. Other than that i dont know about your last two questions.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMorbidity:
Ok so my Nexus 7 2013 was working fine then it just stopped working.

I haven't fiddled with it or tried installing anything custom or rooting.

So I used snapchat to send a pic to my bro and after I did that i set the tablet down.

I was playing my ps3 when I saw something funny and I wanted to take a pic of it with my tablet.

Noticed it wasn't responding when i pressed the unlock button. I figured it was dead but realized

that couldn't be it since it was like 75%ish power left on. So i turned it on and from that point on it's been stuck on

the google screen and sometimes i get the red exclamation android guy.

As I type this the tablet is on the Google logo screen and it's been like that for 10 mins.

So again i clarify that my tablet has never been rooted or done anything custom with it.

Sadly also i don't have warranty from the store i bought it (BestBuy) and i bought it on Sept 15th of this year.

What are some steps I can take to help me fix it? Or is this thing dead for good? I read that if you can access your bootloader then it's fixable.
