exactly why I didn't care much for the T-Mobile ROMs. it works spectacular. w/ the new boot loader you won't have to flash devil kernel to get WiFi working. and there's no data drops. + we get the N3 features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Which of the three versions did you use? LTE edition?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
Can you please give us the link to the Rom you are using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
I am installing DN3 and am in their installer. It asks me whether I want the N7105 version... or the i317 or i317M. I read to install the ATT version, but what's the difference in the M and non-M version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
So I have a question I hqvent been on in a while and last I checked the newest update came with a locked bootloader. I know it did for the s3. I liked the newest software on the s3 but I jus5 cant stand all that bloat and not having full control of my phone. That s3 was killing me. I just got my note2 back from samsung with a nice new screen and of coure they forgot to send the spen with it. Not that I use the stupid thing anyway but still come on. Anyway is the bootloader locked on this one also and how hard is that to get around?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
theyre for different companies i believe. as how ours (T889) also has a T889v ( i think thats the right letter) version as its for a different conpany. I installed using the ATT one. there's really no difference because you're just going to flash a tmobile modem over it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541860

yes the boot loader is locked. I don't believe there's a workaround it yet. but I'm even sure. you can scroll around through the threads and see if there is. what I did was just update it anyways and tripped my KNOX boot loader to ox1. I didn't have warranty anyways so I'm not tripping over it. and then I just rooted it, flashed cwm and started to flash ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
Thank you. So is the root process the same? Usually i flash twrp with odin then install su permissions then I flash away. Or do I have to use another method? Really all I want is the modem software so I could just wait till someone pulls it out they usually do. I always liked c heckin out the latest stock rom but always changed back to aokp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
I wrote instructions on how I rooted. there could be other methods to. this is easiest for me! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2562994

if you're going to end up on aokp, you should just stay on the 4.1.2 boot loader. the update to me is really only for TW roms because the stock ROMs are working just fine w/o the new boot loader.

I was trying to flash the new 4.3 Rom and somehow I have managed to make the sim card unfunctional. even after going back to 4.2.2 the phone always says that the sim card is invalid. I have a TA Partition backup.

I really need the phone. Thats what you get when you are playing around.

Why is the sim functionality gone? Anyone experienced the same?

Ok its because I lost the IMEI number. Nice one some people on the board had the trouble too after upgrading.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nepturion:
Had the same problem rerolling to older versions.. but i think its the regional code from the file.

Flash a version near/from your region and the sim card will work properly again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiremakerP:
yes I rolled back to 4.2.2 but failed restoring the IMEI do I have to flash the whole ftf file again?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hololodilolo:
It also happened to mine while I'm trying to root on 4.3. I downgraded to 534 after unsuccessful of rooting on 4.3. Then I lost IMEI and showed sim card is invalid. Fortunately I made my original 270 ftf for back up. I flashed 270 again and I got back IMEI and working sim card. I also found in other thread that if you want to downgrade 4.2.2 from 4.3 you need to flash exclude baseband. If not you will get that IMEI and sim card error. Try to update 4.3 and downgrade 4.2.2 exclude baseband if you don't have original back up like me. Good luck !!! :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiremakerP:
You a need a functional TA backup to do it.

Downgrade to the version where you did the TA backup through FTF then you can see your IMEI again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamo86:
Ok I'm running 4.2.2 I want to know is there a way to back up my phone my bootloader is locked.

I have root but I didn't install custom recovery. I want to try 4.3 but I want to make sure I can come back to 4.2.2 without loosing imei.thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hololodilolo:
Thank you for your advice but in my case I didn't need to backup and restore TA to get back IMEI and working sim card. I'm just flash my stock 4.2.2 ftf that I backup before and everything is working fine now (both IMEI and sim). :D

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

As per reply from 4.3 rooting thread, you can downgrad 4.2.2 from 4.3 without losing imei but you need to exclude baseband when you flash 4.2.2. :highfive:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamo86:
Do I need to exclude kernel aswell when downgrading from 4.3.also do I select everything in flashtool in the section where it displays system,TA, kernel etc.lastly do I need to tick final verification? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hololodilolo:
It should be ok with just exclude baseband. If not wipe all data on phone. :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamo86:
I tried to downgrade to 257 I used flashtool it flashed but remained on 4.3.now I can't use flashtool everytime I select a ftf it says can't open. Is it because it's a custom rom.please help.I tried different ftf even a 4.3 stock ftf.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hololodilolo:
Try to restart your computer. If not OK, uninstall and reinstall flashtool. Try to redownload ftf as well. Good luck buddy. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DylanNeil:
I've also encountered the same problem after having downgraded from 4.3 to 4.22 with the intention of installing a custom rom.

I got so far as flashing a generic uk 4.22 ftf, rooting, backing up ta partition and trying to install dual recovery for LB but after a few attempts only TWRP would install and not CWM which is what I needed to install the rom and so decided to go back to stock and try again some other time.

Only now I have this Invalid Sim message and can't find a way to get my phone working as a phone again, this thread has mentioned a number of fixes but as I had to flash an old ftf first in order to root and continue, my backup ta was done after this problem surfaced and I do not have a copy of my original ftf so it would seem that what you guys tried won't work for me, anybody have any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
If you don't have your original FTF doesn't matter, download from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 the unbranded generic FTF and flash it to stock. Your phone will working back fine.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DylanNeil:
That did the trick, ta very much. Still having the same problem when I try to downgrade again though, I am going from .290 to .257 (I read somewhere that you have to go via .257 to reach the rooting promised land of .534) but still get the Invalid Card notice. I have done full factory resets, enabled USB Debug, ticked unkown sources, excluded baseband and not but no joy.

Seems a bit odd to me but there must be something I am missing... any ideas? All my firmware is generic UK btw.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
If you are doing this to reach the .290 rooted like here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2572988 doesn't matter too, because you will update anyway so if you get some issues in downgrade state forget about that and complete the process. The update to .290 should fix them. Are you getting this problem on rooted .290?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DylanNeil:
I am trying to install the Criskelo rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560068 ) I got as far as installing dual recovery but I could only get TWRP working not CWM so stopped there and back tracked thinking I was doing something wrong. Not sure if the issue I have now would be fixed upon installing the rom, couldn't figure out why CWM wouldn't install and as the Invalid Card was the only other known issue I figured something went wrong in the downgrade process and have been working at that since...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The update kernel of the Criskelo it's a .290 so probably it will fix this issue but if you flashed the recovery and you get only TWRP working and not CWM i don't know how this happen. There is 1 way to boot in TWRP and another one to boot in CWM.

I'm running the new 9.1 ROM with the new modem.

Everything was working great except I tried to download the new blacked out phone, but I screwed it up.

When I get a call the com.android.phone app FCs and I can't answer the call, when I try and place a call, it says CONTACTs has stopped responding.

Can anyone post the phone and contacts app that I can push to the system/app folder?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: phone

You already have it, it's inside the Wicked rom zip file you downloaded and flashed.

Open the Wicked rom zip file which you flashed and open the SYSTEM folder.

(if you don't have the zip file just re-download the wicked v9.1 rom)

Inside that folder there is a folder called APP, open that folder and scroll down until you see

"SecPhone.apk" copy/extract that file to you desktop and then push or copy it to your phones

internal/external sdcard or if you PUSH the file, push it to /system/app .

You will need a root capable file manager like root explorer to do the above.

Be sure to reboot the phone after you are finished doing the above.

Once that's done you will have the same phone (contacts/dialer screens) as you had when you

first flashed the rom.

Just in case you have an issue with it or its not working right be

sure to use the fix permissions options in cwm or twrp recovery.

The reason the blacked out phone did not work for you and caused all the issues

you are having with it is because its not compatible with the phone and or the rom.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanvree:
Hey, thanks, I really appreciate it, can you confirm what the permissions are supposed to be?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
or you could just flash the ROM again without wiping.

☞ Sent from here☜???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanvree:
I tried that. still force closing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: permissions

When you look at the permissions it should look like the diagram below.

R W R R

(an upside down backward "L")

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Did you do a nandroid backup?

You might need to do a full wipe and flash ROM again if pushing SecContacts doesn't solved it.

☞ Sent from here☜???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanvree:
Yeah, this isn't working.

I tried ripping out and replacing both the contacts and phone, changed the permissions, but it's still not working.

Is the phone app permissions the same?

****! Any other last ideas before I do a full wipe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
(there is only one app which needs to be copied back to the phone)

(it's filename is SecPhone.apk - the permissions are RWRR)

(there is no contacts.apk or any other filename which is needed)

Sorry I have no other ideas.

Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dreammaster252:
I used a root method on youtube today. SuperUser wouldn't work because the binary wasn't installed. So I tried to reboot and go into recovery, then I backed up and erased the data etc. So it failed on the AOKP rom that i was going to install then it wouldn't let me restore. So using ODIN fastboot i flashed over CWM 5.5.0.4. I think one of the new CWM recoveries has USB Storage Mount but on there website the zips only come in .zip and not .tar so I can use odin to flash it over. When I try to flash the stock ROM (.TAR) (619MB) through odin it fails. Someone please help me

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Has anyone else been receiving an error when updating their profile with the new OTA update? Additionally is anyone receiving error 1233 when trying to update their PRL? If so has anyone found a solution? I found a few people complaining about the issue on various threads here and around the internet but with no solution. This seems to be causing issue with both rooted and non rooted phones.

In my case I am S-OFF rooted. Took the update with stock recovery.

I figured it might be worth while to have this in one thread.

In my case these two functions are useful as I am in a poor coverage area and am now constantly receiving the "no data connection" error. That said these issues still persist in well covered areas.

Same Problem

Ever since the new update, 3.05.651.5, I get error code 1233 when trying to update PRL and also can't update my Profile. I called HTC they said it was a Sprint error code so I called Sprint and they re-provisioned my phone. This was unsuccessful and told me to wait a day or so. There are quite a few people having the same issue and the latest word on the Sprint Forums is that HTC is aware of the problem and working on it. My HTC ONE is "stock". Not rooted.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HTCFAN73:
I was having the same issue after the update (Stock as well). Did a Factory reset (always a good idea when updating) and it's all good. Give it a shot!

OK

Thanks, I will try that later when I have more time as my last resort.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Yes it will wipe the phone.

Running the RUU seems to fix this issue for everyone thus far. It must be some issue with residual files left behind from the older version when taking the OTA.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HermanV0929:
Do you think downloading a copy of the update, would let you install it again and if so, wouldn't that fix the profile and prl problem?

If by download another copy you mean the updates provided in other threads you could try it but it did not work for me. The RUU was the only solution.

Ok probably another note question but I can't seem to find how to get notifications working on my new watch.

I've updated all the software to the newest versions as well as the gear manager but I don't see any options for notifications and I'm certainly not getting any on my watch.

I am however using a custom rom would that have something to do with it?

If I'm using a custom rom based on touchwiz do I need any specific things to make my watch 100 percent compatible with my note3?

Right now other then the Bluetooth and camera I can't see much use for the watch!

Do I need to go back to stock on the Note for best compatibility?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] st-tps:
In Gear Manager, click on Notifications, scroll down and find "More Notifications" (or maybe More Messages)

In there you can tick the apps you want to send notifications from, Facebook, Gmail etc.

Well hello in the first line ... I have one big question and I never found any answer about this or any ideea what means:

I bought few days ago one N3 9005 Snp D chipset etc etc .... and they sended me a 4g sim card sayng to be activated only with that phone/tablet/smartthablet ... Well I did it ... but later i tryied to put back my old SIM Card from another plan and from then it happened

1. Strange reboots ( when I put the phone in GSM only mode ) , no network... network selected is not available bouth SIMS are 4g different plans same network Vodafone.

2. When I insert another SIM from Orange in GSM/WCDMA Mode ....saying ... Atention The Network selected Vodafone is not available please try a new search .. well I did .. the networks apear and i try to register it takes like 10-15 minutes at the end is registering but FC .. again the message shows Atention The Vodafone network selected is not available .

I switch to LTE /Auto mode ... everything is fine I can call in Orange/ Vodafone /Cosmote /even I tryied a SIM card T mobile everything is great I can call ... even do sms /push notifications .. until I select again GSM only mode .. when I leav the Metropolitan area and going to country ... when this happen HELL IS coming ... what can it be ?!?!.

I never heared some of you having this problem .. I tryied : STOCKL ROM area SEE/UE / ROOT/ Region Unlock Away .. several things I guessed it was the EFS etc etc ... well EFS IS good I did Back up restored everything is fine ... unless those mentionet above.

3. Another thing : when SIM register in GSM/WCDMA mode .. I can initialise only 2-3 calls .. or receive 2-3 calls from my friends .. after that it shows nertwork like is fine and .. after 20-30 minutes my friends call me on another number saying come oon dude you keep your phone close .. something wrong ? What to say I never close my phone is allways open ... and some other strange thing when .. reboot the phone ... and retry to be if is ok ... I hear a sound like .. the network fail to initiate my call .

4. Yesterday I figured out that in the back space of the battery place .. some oil liquid apeared and is anoying to see that is like when .. the battery leaked or something like that .. but I checked .. to service .. they sayid is normal ?! WTF ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
In my experience certain operators use very sh*tty baseband versions that are very specific to their network - I have seen quite a number of Orange Galaxy S2 models that had that exact weird problem when the phone starts OK and then 30-60 minutes later it goes away from the network and you can no longer receive calls (but you can perfectly make those calls). The fix for those was to write latest official Orange ROM (and make certain that any carrier-unlocking was done in a way that does not f*ck the modem).

I would also seriously document the problem with the oily/watery stuff (photos + writing communication to service) - sh*tty carriers (Orange included) very often deny any form of service at a later time based on anything that triggers the (many) humidity detectors from inside the modern phones.

Atention danger

I just spoked with service guys and showed them the liquid that after some test is electrolite inside the acumulator ( battery ) that leaked from inside becouse they say " several batteryes are made with a small defect/bug and they leaked but is not mentioned how many or if is a lage scale problem .. they just say to change silently and quick the battery " I was crazy when I heared that and first they sayd is my fault becouse I used the device and it becomes very hot ... probably becouse they tryed to full me .

Now ... the prb you just sayd is about ... that NO MORE NETWORK CODES .... ONLY the SIMCARD Activated with teh device can work flawles unless you remove this from the network carrier ... if you activate the mode 4g/lte .... it will be the only mode becouse is the highest .. try to activate first GSM mode only and so one so forth ..... until you get the 1st level .. becouse the device remain activated and set on the 4G/Lte if you do that ... At the end the changed my gadget now everything works fine I activated starting wityh another SIM and step by step register in network ... now I can put .... Orange/including DIgi Mobile Network .. and some other wcdma networks.

PROBLEM SOLVED I MEAN FOR ME ... Don't know for others...
