[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TamratAK:
Failure again

UPDATE:::

I tried to update to 2.3.6 as the guide suggests and I also wanted a clean stock OS in case the old one was not. But once again updating to 2.3.6 has been a pain. Kies Mini recognizes the phone but it doesn't recognize the firmware running on the phone. And also, firmware update is impossible since the button is greyed out.

I googled again and found the official 2.3.6 firmware for the phone (file name: T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar.md5) and tried flashing it using ODIN; absolutely no luck. It fails at the stage which says Slb.bin. Restarting the phone after that gives a "firmware upgrade failure" display. Only way to wake up the phone is to flash the previous OS back.

I am really confused here.

*********************EDIT***************

Some how, after like 10 retires and fiddling with ODIN, it finally flashed 2.3.6 to the SGS 4G. Still, fingers crossed.

*********************EDIT 2***************

Finally, its all working fine now. Thank you [MENTION=3770444]jeffsf[/MENTION], thank you very much.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: forgot an important step and now my IEMI number is gone........

do i throw the phone now, or is there any other way???
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Don't throw your phone away! How do you know that you have "no IMEI" on your phone? We'll go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] christoophat:
Hopefully, you've backed up your data before starting to play around with ROMS. If so just load your backed up efs folder onto your storage & use Root Explorer to drop it over your existing one , it will overwrite your imei file & you will be good as new.

========================================================================================

I'm also in need of help, I have been running SlimSaber since last weekend, was wanting to try out Beanstalk. First full wipe, install & reboot wipe again, reinstall etc as per Dao's OP, but after the first install, it won't boot past the kernel splash. Tried again with same result. Decided to click it back to stock & start over, using Gremlin Remover (odin). Then saw that others were having similar issue so I tried to load in build from April1st.

But now it only boots back into recovery, won't boot to the OS ( everything indicated install was complete & no errors.)

1 clicked back again & just tried to put SlimSaber back on again, but have the same problem, will only boot into recovery.

I had to first load CM9 to get CWM 6.xx so I could install kk using TWRP

What am I not doing correctly? Thanks for any suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Flash kernel

Reboot recovery

Wipe all partitions

(Reboot recovery for good measure and wipe again if paranoid)

Install

Boot

If that doesn't do it, it is likely ROM or hardware.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] christoophat:
Since this is running GB VUVKG4, could you recommend a kernel that would work & get me to TWRP (or CWM 5.xx+)?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Either the Team Acid CM9 or Hefe Kernel should work.

Dear All,

I have bought a Note 3 in USA with serial number as follows: N9005GSMH and FCC:A3LSMN9005.

I have a problem because I don't know how to make LTE working. I'm using this smartphone in Poland, in settings I can't see option which allows to switch to LTE band. I have good LTE network coverage in my city but I haven't possibility to switch radio to LTE.

This is new phone so it is not rooted, two weeks ago new official update was made from JB to KK.

Can anybody advice how make LTE option visible in network settings?

I have found somewhere on this forum that after making some changes in configuration file in system directory LTE option appear in settings. But maybe it can be done without rooting?

Best Regards

Wojciech
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
As you bought from America you need to be aware that some of the 4G/LTE bands are different and won't work overseas... If this is the case you might not be able to get the right bands thus all you will get is 3G speeds....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwojciech:
Thank you for your answer. I have found that N9005 is LTE enabled and it supports some of LTE bands in my country.

N9005 supports LTE 2100/1800/850/1600/800Mhz(Band1,3,5,7,20).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
This is what you need to know - The LTE standard covers a range of many different bands, each of which is designated by both a frequency and a band number. In North America, 700, 800, 1900, 1700/2100 (AWS) and 2600 MHz (Rogers Communications, Bell Canada) are used (bands 4, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25); 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz in Europe(bands 3, 7, 20); 1800 and 2600.

There is a difference...

Lte Bands for Bell mobility

It looks like you might have some information I need, I see you know which bands Bell mobility uses in Canada, here is my question.

I have an unbranded Note 3: sm-n9005 (bought in Russia), and I would like to know if there is a way to change the bands being used by the phone so that I can program the correct bands and use the LTE network with Bell Mobility.

I am currently with Bell Mobility and the following info is from my note 3

Version

AP : N9005XXUENB3

CP : N9005XXUENB1

CSC : N9005SERENB2

Baseband Version : N9005XXUENB1

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
It seems a lot of people are asking this, It should be as simple as flashing your regions modem but this doesn't seem to be the case...

As I have never needed to do this I unfortunately don't have an answer...

This is an expensive little toy and I don't want to be responsible for screwing up yours.

If I was going to try then I'd try to flash the GSM and LTE modems. Flashing only one might cause a conflict, however this may also render your phone unusable...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
If you're not seeing the LTE option in Network Mode, that's because your provider code isn't active in the little file that tells your phone it has LTE enabled on their network. Evidently, as you bought the phone in an entirely different region.

You'd have to flash the local firmware over it, but whether that's a safe thing to do on a US device, someone else will be more qualified to inform you.

Hello,

after a few days researching and trying to root/flash my samsung sph l720 i didnt found anything but first:

a cousin brought me his gs4 l720 from us, it was unlocked and i can "use" it but i cant enable the hotspot etc...

i was almost going to root it but i started reading about knox, bootloaders etc thats why i wanna ask if its possible to update it from 4.3 to 4.4 and enable the hotspot etc.

thats all the info in about device... i wanna know if its possible to root it and install a custom recovery like CWM

also if its possible to update it to KitKat

what happend if the Knox flag triggers ? do my s4 bricks or something ? or it just voids the warranty, because i dont care about the warranty as im in another country.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Just to answer your knox question. All it does is void warranty. You can still unlock root and flash Roms with Knox tripped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] grdenrique:
Thanks, now the only thing i wanna know before i root it is how do i check if the bootloader is locked ?

i read in the cf auto root web that if the phone has a locked bootloader it can brick the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Do some more reading ALL over the forums here. So far our device doesn't have completely locked bootloader. just the knox flag.

It's actually very hard to truly brick this device. You may softbrick but that's easily recoverable.

There are posts on how to update to MF9, MK2 or NAE.

You can root any of those with the latest CF-Autoroot and add a custom recovery and flash a way compatible ROMs as per the OPs directions.

BUT PLEASE take some time to read, search and read some more. If you do you will surely get the most of your time and more importantly your device.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Looks to me like your phone is already rooted. Or at the least has been seriously messed with. You have 3 mismatches in the info you posted. MDC baseband with 4.3, then complilation of MK2. These are all different versions. You need to figure out the exact configuration of your phone before we can proceed with helping you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] grdenrique:
i copy it exactly from the cellphone, its there any way that info could be wrong ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Since it appears your phone may have been upgraded to MK2 at one point, you could try just downloading the full NAE (KIT KAT) tar file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663619 and upgrading to NAE in one quick swoop. Then if you want to root it, you can use cf autoroot and go from there. If your phone has already been unlocked it should maintain the unlock even with the flashing of the stock tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] walalm:
Thank you very much for your response. Well, I'll tell you what happened: To sim-unlock that phone it was downgraded to MDC while using MK2 stock rom. My wife's L720 is in the same case and also a co-worker is in the same situation. So now my question is, is there any problem upgrading it to kitkat (NAE) knowing that my wife doesn't uses the rooted rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
No problem at all, just use the link I referenced earlier and flash using Odin. This will upgrade your phone to kit kat and you won't loose and data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] walalm:
Confirmed, flashed my co-worker's phone and everything is working fine (I was unlocked using that downgrade) and remain unlocked.

Thank you very much, the next step is flash my wife's one.

My O2 XDA IIs is second-hand, un-locked and partially/occassionally/not working with my Orange PAYG sim.

Tech stuff:

Rom 1.40.00 WWE

Radio 1.12.00

Protocol 1337.42

Ext Rom 1.40.242

What does work or doesn't work...

Well, I can occasionally make a call, but I am just as likely to get three tones in my ear (Ping ping ping) and the call ends before even getting to the dialling code. No idea what the three pings are meant to mean apart from'You are not going to be connected mate!'.

I can use internet explorer when I have the XDA in the cradle, but it just says 'connecting' permanently when I am out and about, but gives me no reason why it won't connect.

I can't send or receive texts, just get a 'failed' message.

When I go from a no-signal to a strong signal area it is purely random whether the XDA tries to find a signal or not. It will quite happily just sit there swearing blind that there is no signal.

Would putting in an O2 sim solve all these problems?

Is there anyone out there happy with the XDA IIs?[/quote]

I've got the 16gb nexus 7 (non 3g).

I've had it for less then a year and the battery life had been great. But starting over the last few days the battery is horrible. After a full charge over night my battery was down to 50% today. And that's with hardly any use. I used it for maybe an hour total and at least half of that time was just reading reddit.

I haven't changed any settings recently. This is all stock, no mods, not even rooted.

Would the battery go bad that fast though? In my experience batteries usually gradually get worse. This went from losing a few percent of power to losing half power in the span of a day.

I might try the factory reset - just have to make sure everything is backed up. This tablet isn't rooted so i dont have titanium backup on it.
