[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] glasshole:
I just wanted to share my experience with some issues I had with my cell connectivity randomly dropping during the day and then randomly coming back. AT&T was no help what so ever and their only solution was to wipe my device (I'm rooted).

The Cause: Crappy LTE coverage in my area

I live between two towers that offer LTE coverage in my area, but not close enough to one or the other for them to connect. I solved the random drops by disabling LTE in the networks menu and then also going to *#*#INFO#*#* and using GSM only in that menu. I miss no more calls and everything works now. Apparently the phone was trying to get on LTE, succeeded in a handshake, and then didn't have enough signal to continue. It would then drop and try to reconnect several times before attempting to jump back on the GSM tower I can throw a rock and hit.

I can only hope AT&T gets their crap together and I hope this helps anyone with similar issues

If CF auto root hasn't been updated for MK6 then you can flash a rooted version of stock, from the general forum.

when i power on its stuck in CM boot logo

i think i have backup but i cant get into recovery to flash it. dunno how to. volume down and power isnt working

and when i try to use my PC and adb reboot recovery it cant find the device, not sure if drivers are installed

can anyone help?

thanks!

EDIT

tried holding power and volume down but it keeps vibrating and rebooting with LG logo... think the recovery is messed up :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haseeb123:

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

every time I hold the power button down during bootloop it vibrates, turns off for a second, then starts to reboot again.

how do i power off?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equake:
I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.

Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

Hi, I love Cyanogenmod 10.1 by Maclaw, but I want 4x3 keyboard instead of latinIME.. I DO NOT want to install other keyboards apk, I really want a zip file that contains a 4x3 keyboard like the stock GIO keyboard.. So there is any way to mod latinIME adding 4x3 layout ou a way to install stock GIO keyboard to CYANOGENMOD 10.1 ? Please help me! If it's possible do that on a flashable zip file or if it's not possible, simply send me a keyboard that has 4x3 layout and can be on system. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Well today i found out after getting tired of this trying to root 4.3 i decided to use a custom rom again.

Guess what happend...

No custom rom works anymore as imei magically dissapears. It only returns if you ... guess what...

Use Sony 4.3.

Well thank you very much Sony assholes for updating s1boot and making it irreversibel.

Luckily it seem that it might be able to get fixed with new proprietary blobs but that will maybe take some time for some dev's to add on their builds.

Downgrade Via Flashtool

Are you trying to downgrade with Flashtool?, cause in Xperia Z1 is the same, the IMEI goes to 00000 but when you downgrade to 4.2.2 exclude the baseband and everything is ok and then you can flash your custom rom.......

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
i had this experience: i have the 6802, and i was on the stock 4.3 update, flashed the adv. stock kernel to get recovery, and restored a CM10.2 nandroid. when it booted up i had no radio signal, so i restored everything from a .257 FTF except system and kernel, and after that everything was fine. i don't know if this was 'correct', but it worked. i didn't check to see if i lost IMEI, but i definitely have it after doing those steps.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
you might mark the OP as SOLVED and list the solution ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
I simply did a nandroid restore with the CWM recovery from the CM 10.2 boot.img - all up and running, IMEI still there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ChillyChan:
Yes, flashing .257 FTF fixed it for me too (C6802). I flashed everything.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
ah hey, cool. yeah, i would'a flashed everything but i wanted to stay on CM10.2. so i just made sure the other firmware was downgraded.

but again, it seems possible that there cold be other differences between the 6802 and the others? i dunno, but some people seem to be saying to use the baseband from .290 even if you downgrade back to .257?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ChillyChan:
In my case, I wanted to go back to stock. That's why I flashed everything :D About the baseband, I don't know cause I didn't note down the version before I flashed .290 so I have nothing to compare to. The one major difference of C6802 from other models is that we can flash ROMs without needing fastboot 'cause kernels are somehow allowed to be flashed from recovery.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Ya thts right.Plus you have to unlock the bootloader too if u havnt yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
Hrm... You know, for the life of me, every time I flash from the 4.3 update with Flash Tool, I still lose my IMIE data and thus can't use the mobile connection.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
u and me both... if i jump to a older FTF i get imei 000000000

But if i jump to the newest before 4.3 i get imei 0

and excluding baseband didnt work... so no its not solved.

from 3 days i search for Solution imei Because last update is very very very pad and slow and restart alon

please do u have any solution to back to stock 257 or later
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
What did you do that making lost imei? Downgrading from. 290?

Well I did nandroid restore over 290 and was lost radio signal, totally, but not imei. After try some different ways, the fastest is fashing. 257 FTF (from. 290) by flashtool.

check all 3 in wipe section and left blank/unchecked everything in exclude section, you need to backup first if you already root with titanium backup and move the titanium backup folder to external sd card. Have nandroid backup is an advantage.

The next step (if the above work and bring your imei back) is depending what you want, whether stay 257, unlock or relock, back to 290 again to root (must unlocking BL first)..etc...

Hope this work with you.

Edit: I assume you do not loose imei yet. Just try to reinstall to 290 maybe previous update not finished properly. I feel 290 is way better than 257. Or if you still want to downgrade you can try the above method.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abutalal171:
thank u very much

please what i can do now

now i am in 290 if i want to flash any ftf older than 290 i lost my imei and radio

i have backub from cwm recovery when i restore it also no radio

if i want to stay in 290 as u advise me how can i fix the problems (many programs not work fine like 1- walkman 2-album 3- dial ....etc)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Try the boot.img of cyanogenmod for restore, that workd without issues on my ZU. Anyway, I am at 290 / 4.3 now with root, works great, so no need to go back to older ROMs.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Yes!! Oh lord yes!!

I found a backed up nandroid on my computer! I knew I had one somewhere!

Just a thought, if I restore that and it fix my phone, is there a chance I can create a new nandroid without my personal info and share to other ppl so they can come back to old 4.2.2?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:

[MENTION=614742]Reb0rn[/MENTION] : mate, i think it could also be coz of the generic version of. 290 4.3 update you did?

coz I did a ftf update of the .290 CE/lte version posted by Jozinek, and I think yours is the generic one.. i have the correct imei number showing.. maybe try this version and see?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Funny you should mention that cuz I actually updated to CE as soon as I could. And have been running it since 4 days ago.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
The funny thing is that you say "solution"... Being stuck on 4.3 is not a solution for me. I have imei on 4.3 and everything works fine. But what I do want is to be able to use custom roms without loosing my imei...

I'm gonna try some stuff today and see if I can revert.

I'll keep you guys posted.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] androidindian:
oh so what you mean is that when you are on 4.3 it shows the correct imei and when you flash a custom rom, it goes off? hmm..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bigxie:
I can't seem to find the original post that suggested the following solution (to credit), but I tried it and it worked fine for me. I updated to 4.3 right out of the box (got my Z Ultra just a few days ago) and made it quite difficult for myself, but I am now bootloader unlocked with my TA backed up and running CM10.2.

Here's how I did it (after reverting back to .532 to root and backup TA, unlock bootloader, I FTF'd back to .290).

From .290 (4.3), I fastboot flashed the boot.img from CM10.2, installed it and gapps, checked IMEI, it was all 0's (14 or 15 of them IIRC)

At this point, I put the phone into flash mode and FTF'd back to .257, except I did uncheck clear data, and checked the options to exclude flashing system and kernel partitions.

Rebooted into CM10.2 and I my IMEI was back, got signal from my carrier, and everything is working dandy. Rebooted into recovery to do a factory reset and set up from scratch just for kicks, IMEI still intact.

I used generic Europe FTFs for both .290 and .257

EDIT: clarification
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sashin:
Just for clarification, did you check the System and Kernel to be excluded? Because they are unchecked by default.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bigxie:
Yeah, whoops, that's exactly what I meant.

I CHECKED the options to exclude system and kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MEGAX91:
This is how i downgrade from 290

first i downgrade to 257 ( and i didnt lost my IMEI )

then i downgrade from 257 to 510 ( and i didnt lost my IMEI ) and root my Zu and got my TaBackup.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stiggy2012:
So can you confirm that downgrading to .257, then flashing CM10 does not work for you? Because several of us have now reported that this works fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sashin:
I did the 4.3 update and then I downgraded to 257 then 532. From there I just rooted, flashed recovery then flashed CM again

and everything is working fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stopa10:
Well, I have to say that this lost-IMEI problem seems a bit controversial yet. Many report that it is solved by flashing back .257, many the exact opposite.

In many posts it is not even fully clear what kind of flash configurations have been used throughout the process.

Also, some keep struggling with flashing custom roms. Now that we are apparently close to finally have 4.4 custom roms for the baby, I think we should try to settle this once and for all.

So, in the general interest please be more specific wrt what you did, how you flashed (which options), which firmware versions (generic or not), and the final outcome.

And Happy Christmas to all you geeks ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
FTF'd US version of .257 per bigxie's post, also did a factory reset. Not quite there yet, no LTE and my voicemail number is not set, but I have full carrier service again, just had to select ATT LTE from the list of APNs. 6806, using the pac43 boot.img and latest PA 3.99.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Yes!! This woked splendid! :D

Just another clarification. when installing cm10.2 one has to wipe data or else it wont boot. i think the crucial part is this:

"At this point, I put the phone into flash mode and FTF'd back to .257, except I did uncheck clear data, and checked the options to exclude flashing system and kernel partitions."

Maybe boot in to cm10.2 too see if one can see several zeros in imei instead of just 1 zero.

Thanks a lot friend!

Finally got radio working again

I've been experiencing the same problem (lost radio) after downgrading from 290 to 532.

Tried the exclude baseband method, still no signal.

After few trials and errors, finally got back to 532 with radio working again (and go on to root, install recovery, etc)

Here's what I did (all this on my c6802, locked BL) :

1. Flash Generic 290 ftf, make sure the radio is back working

2. Flash this particular 257 ftf , found in this thread (cr: Desperanto86) , make sure the radio is also working

3. Flash Generic HK 532 FW

4. Turn your phone back on, voila, back on 532 with radio working

All flashing are using the default options from the flashtool (no need to check or uncheck anything)

Not sure if this works for everyone, it sure does for me :P
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] msi.1362:
Just use the same region-based firmware your phone came with.

i.e. I updated my MEA C6802 to .290. For downgrade I had both HongKong and MEA .532 firmwares.

With HK firmware I lost my IMEI after downgrade, but with MEA firmware everything goes fine.

No need to check or uncheck anything.

'Support Code: 85010014' is a general error code generated by MS ActiveSync and is associated with errors with MS Outlook. When that happens, u should try first try:

Phase #1:

1) Soft-reset your PPC.

2) Reboot your PC.

3) Attempt to ActiveSync (if first couple of attempts generate errors, simply unplug and reinsert sync cable).

4) If that still doesnt work, see Phase #2.

Phase #2:

1) On your PC, open MS Outlook.

2) Go to Help>Detect and Repair...

3) Attempt to ActiveSync.

4) If that still doesnt work, see Phase #3.

Phase #3:

1) Export your Outlook data to a .pst file (IMPORTANT!).

2) Uninstall your MS Outlook completely.

3) Reboot your PC.

4) Reinstall MS Outlook.

5) Open MS Outlook to initialise settings for the first time.

6) Import back your previous Outlook data from your .pst file in #1.

7) Attempt to ActiveSync.

Note: You may not need to export/import Outlook data if you are absolutely sure that your PPC has your latest PIM data.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quevvy:
A couple of months back, I had unlocked the bootloader (I had stock 4.2.1) and rooted this tablet in order to put Cyanogenmod on it. The current version was CM10.2 (nightlies). I was able to update to different nightly versions and then to the stable 10.2 version. Recently, I saw CM11 nightly versions beginning to appear, so I thought I'd install it.

Using TWRP 2.6.1.0, I had been able to do all of my CM10.2 updating. However, with CM11, the initial flash didn't work (I did clear cache and Dalvik), and so I thought I had to update TWRP. I downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.0 for the TF300T (both .img and .blob) and tried to fastboot them to my device. .img did not work, but then the blob fastboot was able to install TWRP, however, there was a password lock. Reading about this online, I thought I just had to reflash TWRP 2.6.3.0. I tried that and got the same password issue.

Then, I thought that CWM would be a better option (although I thought I may have seen things about it not playing well with the 4.2.1 bootloader...). I flashed a version of that (not exactly sure what version... (which may be the source of my problem) but it was for the TF300T...). Then, upon rebooting, it got stuck on the ASUS loading screen (with "The Device is UnLocked." in the corner). So then I tried rebooting into the recovery, but then I couldn't access the recovery menu from power + vol. down buttons anymore.

Basically, what I can do now is restart the tablet (via holding the power button or pressing the reset slot), but it always gets stuck on the ASUS screen, or I can enter APX mode, but don't think that'll do much good since I don't have nvFlash installed...

Is my tablet bricked?

Thanks in advance!

PS - I saw some solutions that required opening up the tablet. I would be okay with doing that, but only as a last resort!

The thing is, I can't get into fastboot the typical way; pressing power and volume down does not go into the fastboot mode like it did before. I can get into APX mode, though. Can I use that to flash a recovery? I haven't been able to find a way of doing that yet…

No, you need nvflash backups to use APX mode. Since you can't get to the recovery menu, I can't think of any other solutions....?
