[HTC One S] Kerjifire:
I don't exactly know when it happened but for a little while now, I have noticed little or no 3G connection in my phone. When I switch it to WCDMA only mode there is no network, and when I try it on another phone I get a 3g connection. I have tried flashing RUU's and even on stock, I get no signal. I have tried flashing firmware.zip from various OTA's to get it to work but still no luck. So I am stuck on 2G.

Has anyone had this situation and perhaps solved it?
[HTC One S] rayures:
multiple users have this issue.

T-mobile once had a update to fix : "◦Improvements to prevent devices from getting permanently stuck on 2G when updating.◦Improvements to prevent devices from getting permanently stuck on 2G when updating."

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5224?AID=11456737&PID=4485850

but:

Symptoms

Device is stuck on 2G or Edge

Cannot connect or cannot stay connected to 4G

What happens and why

In rare cases previously, HTC One S devices may have gotten stuck on 2G after updating to software 2.35.531.7 710RD (now discontinued). In this case, they cannot connect to 3G or 4G anywhere.

The new software version (2.35.531.10 710RD) prevents working devices from getting stuck on 2G when updating, but it does not fix devices that have the issue already.

i do not think there is a fix other than replace the phone.

Well with Note 12.2 recently being released, I'd like to get the bounty asking going? I'll willing to donate. who's with me???

Model#'s SM-P900 (WIFI only) & SM-P905 (LTE version) android 4.4.2

1.)Root (has CF Auto root been achieved?)

2.)Custom Recovery (TWRP Ideally, but Philz will work. Hopefully they will take on this task if enough of us pony up $$)

3.)Custom Kernel (Hopefully BiD Droid will undertake it as he made an awesome custom kernel on Note 10.1 2014) Bounty

4.)Custom ROM (Hopefully ScottsROMs (Clean ROM) will take on this task as well.

It's the inevitable questions people have and/or will have about the note 12.2 since it is new.

I know on note 10.1 2014, it took a long time before people would ask around for people to develop. If you ask (with $$ of course) maybe the developers will come....
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Android.Ninja:
You are absolutely correct. I noticed that too. I wouldn't be able to put in full time on something like this but I would be glad to help out where needed. I just retired after developing for 15 years. I actually already cooked up my own ROM and am currently testing it out now ;)

Oh wow...very nice. I'm sure we would welcome anything you can add. I'm just a guy that uses the forums for my devices. I've learned a lot but by no means developer, more user/tester if anything.

I just ordered the Verizon Note 12.2 LTE ) sm-p905,so that is why I was inquiring. I won't get it until Monday or Tuesday unfortunately. I Know more people will likely have the SM-P900 (wifi only)....I try to share anything i acquire with others to increase their user experience.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Android.Ninja:
Hey that's great to hear about the LTE tablet you are getting. Let me know if it runs smoothly. Of course, all of the 12 ' s are basically the same thing, just different components. give me a holler when you get it. I've heard good things about that particular model. I've already removed all of the TouchWiz, and unfortunately removing that would also disable the Magazine ux, however I got that back working now. Take a look at my screen and drawer real estate I got implemented in my test ROM.

I got root using CF Autoroot on my P900 on the first day I bought it. I would donate to get TWRP for this device as well as donate to the Dev that puts out the first custom ROM. I typically donate to any Dev who puts out a rom that I use.

I'm in for at least 10 dollars for TWRP and 10 for a custom rom.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jackwagon06:
CF Auto Root was achieved, and is listed in a thread in this forum. All in for Scott to have his way with the ROM!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mike02z:
Yup, I gave to ChainFire as well for CF Auto Root. I think it's important to show the devs that we appriciate their hard work, Kudo's are great but nothing speaks louder than cash :D

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] nvan7891:
Just got my SM-P900 yesterday. Never done much development for anything beyond personal use, but seeing empty development boards for such a sweet new machine is tragic. This is the only new device I'll be working with until the Galaxy S 5 is released. I'm pretty familiar with the Galaxy S line, but as far as tablets go, I have more experience with asus. So, I'm pretty excited to work with something new, it should be fun.

I have no problem using my tab to test with, so if anyone ever needs/wants something tested on a second device, let me know. I'm not particularly gun-shy about testing others work on a new device, and I like to think I have at least some small idea of what I'm doing. Hopefully. ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hendav:
Speaking of that, did you guys download a copy of the current firmware from sammobile to flash through odin if anything happens? I looked and all the versions of firmware are from different countries, not sure if that just means server location or a variation in the firmware itself.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jackwagon06:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] spelaben:
In with 10 for a custom ROM and 10 for a custom kernel for the SM-P905.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mike02z:
You need root first and given the locked bootloader on Verizon devices, that is not likely to happen anytime soon.given the limited user base for that particular device. I REALLY hope I'm wrong for the sake of P905 owners.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mrktmind:
I'm in for recovery (preferably TWRP) and custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] spelaben:
Well, the device was just released, at least in Germany. Idk if our bootloader is also locked but I really hope for a growing user base. Thanks for remembering, already took for granted that someone will release a working root method.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mike02z:
So you're not on Verizon. That is one plus already! While they have a great network here, their devices are locked down tight and they are a PITA to deal with.

Without a locked bootloader, I would expect Chainfire should get CF Auto Root working for it. I believe he is away for the next month though :(
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] spelaben:
I can be patient. You got to see the advantage here: Using the stock ROM for a while will make you appreciate a trimmed down custom ROM without all the bloatware. :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] vagelis:
In for 10 for TWRP too - thank you
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mike02z:
I think we are close on TWRP. I just tested the first test build but not working yet. Give it a day or 2 and we should all be paying bigbiff.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Android.Ninja:
I too just finished test flashing a custom recovery for the SM-P900 Wifi. Unfortunately after flashing with several versions of Odin, the test process still failed. I confident that Bigbiff will come thru as he always does. I'm sure he is very close to nailing it for us SM-P900 users.

Bigbiff never ask for donations, however his work both present and past speaks for itself. Please show your appreciation if you haven't already and support our developer. No contribution is too small, and will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

ok, now Im getting excited for some TWRP action too. Get a nice, smooth ROM from one of the awesome devs, where my screen mirroring is fixed, the magazine UX is the way it was supposed to be, and we(me) will be off and running. Im in for $10 for recovery, then to see what roms are happening....
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mike02z:
We are running into some snags. For some reason TWRP will not overwrite the stick recovery. Not sure if there is some sort of write protection or if the fact that our knox flags are tripped.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Android.Ninja:
Thanks Mike02z for picking up and helping with this! It looks like something indeed is preventing the write process from occurring.

We have verified that upon flashing, the stock recovery is not being replaced with TWRP.

Bigbiff commented:

Hopefully he will be able to determine how chainfire is having successful flashes, and we can make it happen as well.

Not really my specialty, but I'll take a peek as well to see if I can find what is occurring. Hopefully we'll have TWRP soon.

Thanks Bigbiff for your time and work on this!

LOL! Crazy Crazy! :p

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

Progress is slowly being made at getting TWRP on our devices, however we are still running into a few brick walls. :( Bigbiff has been working hard on trying to solve this complex problem, while we're keeping busy testing out many attempts at getting a custom recovery on our devices. It seems that on every attempt to write TWRP upon a successful flash, stock recovery keeps appearing. Over, and over, and over again.... :crying:

Until now... We finally got a step further and had some type of successful write. No recovery yet, but at least a write. That's a step in the write (right) direction, no pun intended. :p

We'll have more updates to follow.

Keep your fingers crossed & support Bigbiff by making a contribution to a good cause.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ExtremeRyno:
Ya know, on the Acer A700, you had to immediately have a custom ROM image to flash with the custom recovery for the recovery to stay. If you just flashed a recovery then it would be overwritten when the device rebooted. Maybe if someone flashes TWRP and then a pre-rooted stock ROM image that might do it?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sterist:
yep, that's the tab I used up til now (and still have it)

SM-P900 SELinux Permissive

Hi guys I have managed to build a custom kernel for this device that sets SElinux from Enforcing to Permissive,I have attached an image of my SM-P900 wifi showing the SELinux as Permissive.

What I have tried unsuccessfully is to make the Kernel be able to mount NTFS hard drives.

Anyone who could lead me to the right direction on how to go about this.

I can share the custom Kernel to anyone willing to check on this issue.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Mike02z:
I do recall that on the A700. I also thought I recall having to manually edit a file on one previous device or it would also over-write the custom recovery with the stock one....I have had so many tab's I forget which one is was. My very first Android tab was an A700. I sold that to a buddy of mine when I upgraded. One of his kids still uses it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] nvan7891:
Well, I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one having issues flashing twrp. I was thinking maybe one of the other ambiguous partitions held a backup of the stock recovery and is set to rewrite it during boot if it fails a checksum comparison or something. As a built in fail-safe type deal?

Do we have a list of what each partition contains and what it's purpose is? The only other Samsung galaxy device I'm familiar with is the s 3, and there are quite a bit of differences between the partition structures of that vs this tab. Particularly the CDMA-RADIO (I'm guessing just an artifact from the lte version that are unused on the wifi) , TOMBSTONES, TDATA, RESERVED2, HIDDEN. I figured the BOTA at the beginning and boot1 and 0 at the end are part of the boot chain, but the layout is odd. I assume PARAM still holds download mode, and that PDATA is a fancy new PERSIST, but the contents vary vastly between it and the one on my s3.

I'd appreciate anyone willing to lay some of dat sweet, sweet, knowledge on me.

[MENTION=2260077]Android.Ninja[/MENTION]

I have been trying to mount NTFS drives on this tablet without any success. Initailly I had thought the reason could have been SELinux been in Enforced mode but now that I have build a custom kernel that has SELinux on Permissive,still the tablet is not able to mount NTFS.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 that had the same issue of failing to mount NTFS drives when SELinux was Enforced but from the time I installed a custom Kernel and the device had its SELinux in Permissive,the tablet is able to mount 2 4TB hard drives that have NTFS file System.

So I think there is something either on the kernel that need to be fixed or on the other areas of Android 4.4.2

Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ is able to see NTFS drives but it is unable to mount them on appropriate mount locations where they can be accessed using file explorer.

From the image attached you can see where the drive is being mounted by Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+

When it is mounted there the contents are not being accessed and are not available for use

I would greatly appreciate your help

Thank you

Custom Kernel

Anyone willing to look into this kernel and let me know what the issue is when it comes to compiling a kernel with NTFS modules

Please check the attached pictures and offer some input.It keeps on showing this output;

"The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.

Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.

Then build a kernel with module support enabled."

Although the loadable modules are enabled on menuconfig

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] qwestmogul1970:
I was curious to know if you have tested your custom recovery on a tablet that has a custom kernel,I am starting to think that the issue could be

selinux permissive being not available on Stock Kernel.

Would you like to to try with my custom kernel that has selinux permissive?

Just an update on TWRP testing....

I tested about 10 files over a 2 week period. The TWRP team is having some issues with the Exynos proc. Much better luck with the Qualcom based proc devices. They are actively working on a Note 3 which is an Exynos 5 and once they get that working, they will move back to the av1wifi (P900).

The TWRP dev will reach out to me once ready for more testing.

I also asked him to think about opening the thread in Original Dev here is we were taking over a Tab Pro thread :)

My first Z2 suffered from an unresponsive touchscreen (2mm width horizontally across the entire screen).

Smart replaced it with another one, which died while I was updating the firmware.

Smart replaced it with a third unit, whose touchsreen (the entire screen) went bunkers after I washed the screen in tap water.

Since it's no longer replaceable I had it repaired by the service center under warranty. They said it won't be covered by warranty if they find water inside. Well, they didn't. It was all dry. They replaced the touchscreen panel and I got the phone after two weeks.

Now I hesitate to get it wet because I have a feeling it's being waterproof is all a big lie.
