Issues with latest firmware

I recently came from PA 4.2 and updated my firmware to VRBMF1 before doing a clean install of CM11 nightly from 1/3. Everything was running fine and I had root. I restored all apps with TiBackup (having root of course) then was having some fc issues so I did a Fix Permissions and rebooted. After several other reboots I've now lost root.

Any ideas what's going on? I've looked in several other threads and it sounds like I may have re-locked my bootloader but since I had root after I updated to VRBMF1 I'm scratching my head.

I confirmed I still have CWM 6.0.4.5. It's odd too every time I finish out of CWM and go to boot normally it asks me if I want to repair "/system/xbin/su".

I went to the bootloader screen and here's what I have:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1535

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Any thoughts on the problem? I'd like to get root back and I'd also like to fall back to a more stable nightly but don't want to try flashing a rom if other issues are going to creep up without having root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zirillian:
Wish I knew as well...appears I am having the same problem. Thought I might have fixed it by reinstalling supersu NOT into system, but still failed to update one again.

What makes you think the bootloader was relocked? That might explain it.

I'm having an issue with my phone charging VERY slow. I am running CM11 nighties, but ever since I switched to kitkat I have had this issue. With the phone around the 15% battery mark, it will take somewhere around 6 hours to fully charge, connected to wall outlet. I have tried different cables and wall adapters including oem cable and there is no difference.

I have tried a different kernel but it didn't seem to make a difference in charging time.

Anyone else experiencing this issue or know a solution? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zirillian:
Bump....still looking for a resolution to this problem. Anyone have any ideas what to do?

Edit: Just to reiterate, I have firmware MF1, latest CWM/TWRP (tried both to see if either worked), and have tried both dirty and clean (full system + factory wipe) flashes (flash rom, latest PA gapps (should I try another?), and supersu 1.86), or just use CM updater. The latest nightly I've tried this on was 1/4.

Before trying again on a newer nightly was hoping someone had some advice. Is there something wrong in my flashing/wiping procedure? Is my bootloader somehow locked again (no idea how that would be possible)? Something else I should be doing and I'm not? I've been using CM since Ice Cream Sandwich days and haven't run into this problem yet....only when upgrading to KK did I start to see it (the first couple nightlies I flashed late December were fine).

Wouldn't feel so bad if this were my phone, but my wife is going to soon not allow me to keep updating hers if I keep almost losing everything in the process (had a nandroid failure scare once).

Re: Latest CM11 Nightlies Can't Retrieve Network/IMEI

[MENTION=5073803]Zirillian[/MENTION], I'm not entirely sure if we are having the same problem, or perhaps we're hitting it from different angles. I say this because I didn't have to restore a nandroid to get back my IMEI, what made my issue so strange was that I just had to flash an earlier nightly over the one with a failing IMEI. Given what I know about the IMEI, this SHOULD NOT have resolved my issues.

That said, earlier this week I tried a nightly again, and everything worked!

Unfortunately, I'm not clear on if it was due to something changing in CM11, or what I'd done shortly before (which I'll get to in a moment).

I just updated to the latest nightly, and everything still appears to be in order.

Regarding what I'd done shortly before things started working again, I followed instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

In short, our phone comes with 2 built in IMEI backup storage areas, used to recover the IMEI if something goes wrong, but for some reason they didn't actually get a backup of the IMEI placed in them, using the method in the link, you overwrite the dud with the real thing.

Like I said, I dunno if that fixed it, or something in CM11, but it's worth a shot, even if you aren't having IMEI problems!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zirillian:
Thanks for your reply. I actually did have my IMEI backed up both of those ways (parts A and B) and I did have success with part A once, but things were still wonky. Part B IMEI restore did not work at all.

Tonight I'm going to try again from scratch with a full wipe of system and factory and hope for the best with the newest nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iwearthebelt:
I was having the same problem losing my IMEI. I don't know why this works, but I use the CM updater first, if I lose my IMEI I'll go to CM's website, download the same nightly and dirty flash it right over the update I just did. Somehow, this restores my IMEI, MEID and also fixes Google Now/search if I'm having a issue with that as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zirillian:
Wow. Super strange, but will absolutely try this tonight if I lose IMEI again after trying to update normally. Thanks!

1. Anyone else experiencing short battery life with 01/09 Nightly?

2. Also I noticed that the capacitive button are not working on the Play Store. It works every where else.

3. I can't seem to find the option where the phone would unlock automatically if the password/pin was entered correctly. Was this removed or it has been moved to a different option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolficus:
howdy :)

i have been lurking both the q/a and the developer thread for cm11. Curious.. how is it as a dailly rom? i keep reading about random wirelss and bt issues. maybe a few camera ones as well.

currently using 10.2 stable with ml1 modem.

thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wenzer:
It's been pretty good for me. No troubles with bt or wi-fi. Battery life seems pretty good as well as call quality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] malcalevak:
So I updated this morning, to the latest nightly, after avoiding an update for several days, and the issue was back!

I did, however, take note of a few things.

I think, but am not absolutely positive, that we're looking at a kernel issue. I say this, since previously I'd been using LeanKernal 9.1, which hadn't been updated in quite a while, but 9.2 was released yesterday, so I flashed it with the nightly. I think tried just the nightly by itself, with no luck, but once I flashed it with LK 9.1 again, I was back in business...

Hopefully someone can figure out what the deal is, and why it only seem to effect some of us...

Tethering issue, usb and wifi

Hi all,

I've been using the latest nightly build for quite a while. When I come into work every single day I tether my personal laptop via usb cable. For the past 2-3 days I have not been able to use usb tethering with the CM11 nightlies. The computer and phone recognize that it is plugged in via usb and the tether option is selectable, but when pressed the computer recognizes phone modes have switched though the network connection never establishes. I have tried all basic PC troubleshooting steps and have performed a phone wipe and clean install of the latest nightly. Known issue? Any tips or ideas?

Also wireless tether in general is extremely slow or unstable at best. Anyone have experience with this or fixes?

Thank you

Broken Camera

The stock camera app doesn't work with the 10 Feb 2014 build. I clean flashed, wiping system, cache, Dalvik, and data. I'm running kitkat gapps from 15 Dec. Has anyone else had any camera issues? Should I be running a different gapps package? Bluetooth seems to be working great with my Jawbone Era. Also, video chats through google hangouts are working too! The last kitkat ROM I ran wouldn't work with video chats through Skype or hangouts.

edit: Solved my problem by flashing a gapps package from January. Seems good now.

Is the newest baseband ML1 then? I'm on MF1 currently. Is there an AIO for ML1?

Also in anyone else's front facing camera elongated? I noticed it using snapchat, I honestly am not sure if its like that in the camera app too.

That's been ever since CM11 1st nightly though I think.

Just upped from 10.2 to 11. WiFi is dead, won't come on most reboots, others it looks on but is really dead. Looked in development thread and didn't find anything. Can someone point me to a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueJournals:
I was having the same problem and started freaking out that something was wrong with my hardware. After some searching, I stumbled upon a thread on the cyanogenmod forums that seemed to be the same problem (albeit for the S4 -- sorry, I don't have enough posts to link -- thread titled "Wifi Not Turning On After Upgrade To Cm11").

The solution listed is to use SQLite Debugger, but it's even easier than that: turn off wireless display.

I just tried this on my phone, and it seems to work. I booted up and Wifi was non-functional. Went to settings > Display & lights > Cast screen. Hit the menu button and uncheck "Enable wireless display". After that, toggle Wifi off and back on. And... now I'm connected to my Wifi again :)

How well does Voice+ work for you guys? I'm still experiencing what I've experienced since they released it way back when...

I am running the GV app (for the occassion when I want to CALL of my GV number), and stock CM messaging app.

If I enable Voice+ I sometimes get notifications from one, sometimes from the other, but also sometimes both or neither. Sometimes the audio doesn't play, and sometimes it seems like it starts to play from one then the other. If I turn off notifications for GV, it seems like I eventually stop getting text notifications altogether.

Does it work better for you guys? What's your setup?

I bootlooped trying to flash from cm 10.2 to CleanRom 8. Is there a problem when trying to go from CM back to a TW rom? It looked like the CM bootloader was fighting with the TW one.

How can I go back to CleanRom, without going back to stock? Would restoring to a CleanRom backup first help? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Neither of those are cm11, so you are in the wrong thread. There should be no problem though, provided you do a clean flash

Can't Connect To Camera

Been looking for a solution for two weeks. I've seen multiple posts from people getting the "Can't Connect to Camera" error but none that describes the issue I'm having. All of them that I've seen have had the camera work, then close and get this message afterwards. Since I've gone from rooted stock 4.1.2 to CM 11, and any other CM based KK rom, I've never had the camera start without getting the "Can't Connect to Camera" error. I've tried multiple times to reflash different nightlies, snapshots, and stable versions to no avail. I've also used multiple gapps packages. Currently trying to run snapshot-m3 with Banks gapps. I've factory reset, cleared cache and dalvik, flashed the rom, then gapps and this is the only error I'm getting. Everything else seems stable. I'm on build VRBMF1. This is the first time I've tried flashing custom roms so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone in PENNSYLVANIA???

So I have been finding a bunch of people who have verizon and any version of CM who live in Pennsylvania are having problems with outbound SMS messages. Everyone I have talked with from Hershey to Scranton Pa are having problems with Outbound SMS, only one text messages is sent and then locks up from there on. Receiving is fine. Sending/Receiving of MMS is fine. This started on February 20th.

Can anyone in PA who is running any version of CM let me know if their outbound SMS are functioning properly? Positive and Negative confirmation would be appreciated. You can PM me or post here so as not to clutter this thread.

Do I need to root first? Or just custom recovery?

I've only installed a custom rom on one other device (HTC Incredible) and I had to get root access, s-off, and install a custom recovery before I could flash a custom Rom. This looks like all I need to do is install a custom recovery and I'm good to go. I planned to follow the instructions here: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2vzw

Am I missing anything?

GPS, Signal Strength, Camera Issues

Really enjoy CM11 except for a few issues. My GPS is completely done now it seems. It no longer finds my correct location. Signal strength has been poor ever since switching to CM11 and the ML1 modem. The FFC doesn't work in some apps (I believe this is a known issue).

I have attempted to completely wipe my phone and switch to another rom to see if the issues remain. When I did this with CleanROM I couldn't get Google Play to connect anymore. It looks like I'm stuck with CM11 for now.

If I could get the GPS to work and the signal strength more stable then I'd be a happy camper.

Thanks for reading!

** Update **

GPS Issue was resolved with the combination of tightening the screws and resetting the A-GPS data. I had tightened the screws before but not recently. The signal strength and mobile data usability is still an issue. I am aware that CM11 shows accurate reception. I just never pictured it this bad.

Is the correct (latest that works w/ the M6 snapshot) modem MF1? I guess I got lazy and never upgraded; just realized I'm still on LF2. I want to make sure I grab the correct zip.

Also... invisiblek's site appears to be down. Does anyone have a reliable source for the latest modem?

EDIT

------------------------------------

Just a little more searching, and I would have had it.

I found this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2740703) which links to both the MF1 "firmware" and ML1 "modem".

Questions:

1) Is ML1 the latest modem that works w/ CM11 M6 snapshot?

2) What is needed to upgrade from LF2 to the latest?

3) It appears what is recommended is to move from LF2 to the full MF1 firmware. However, the file linked in the referenced thread for the MF1 firmware is only about 20MB, the same size as the file for the ML1 modem. What files should I be flashing here?

EDIT 2

Method above confirmed correct.

Hi , I really need help from you guys here. I got a used dopod900 set, but when i boot up it shows O2 logo instead. meaning its actually dopod 900 with O2 rom. Well it actually do not bother me that much, but when I did a hard reset, it seems to me something is really wrong. I could no longer see SIM MANAGER, or things like Auto Config and some other programs. I can see that the rom is the latest i have but then i could not see the ver of the ext rom on the device.

I tried unlocking the ext rom with buzz's tool and it say success but I can's see it anywhere in the device even if I install Total Commander on it and also not able to see the ver of the ext rom too. I know something must be wrong somewhere. I did a hard reset as per what the manual says and follow through, and when its customizing the device automatically i can see there are installations like installing autoconfig....simmanager.. and even dopodasia.. and so on. But i don see anything on the programs listing or anywhere in the devices that these programs are around. So i wonder what happen. When i launch IE the first time i got the set i was about to see Dopod on the IE page, but after the hard reset it now shows 'Mobile Operator" and "OEM" I am still able to use the device nomally. but if when i need to do a hard reset it will be very tedious on me as I need the sim Manager to read my SIM data, presently i am learing the hard way of keying it manually.

I hope experts here will guide me through. Thanks! :cry:

Well it sounds like your extended ROM was removed or not installed or whatever, and I take it you want it back. Flashing a new ROM (doesnt matter version) will put everything on.
