[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhottinger:
Hi all,

first post so be gentle with me.

OK, heres my situation... I had CM11 ROM installed, I woke up one morning to find my device wouldn't turn on, ahh just a flat battery I thought... nope, after hours of charging it just still wouldn't come up. I managed to get it into download mode and restore the ROM. In doing this it changed its IMEI to 0049... and wiped the serial number. I work in IT, so I spent hours and hours trying to fix it myself but I had to surrender and take it to a Samsung Service Centre local to me. £35 later they have restored my IMEI and serial number, awesome... I can carry on using my phone again after using a bog standard £9.99 Classic style Nokia :good:.... NOPE.... :(

It now indicates that a SIM card is inserted, and registers to the network (EE), but I do not get mobile data connectivity!!!??? I try to dial out, but I get "Not registered to network".

My Device Status reads:

Network: Unknown

Mobile Network Type: HPSDA

Service State: Out of Service

Mobile Network State: Disconnected

This is on a stock ROM restored using Kies:

Basband Version: I9300XXUGMK6

CSC: I9300OXAGMK6

Does anyone know of a quick easy way to fix this, or do I just go back to the phone repair shop make out they haven't fixed it properly making them get it working!? ;)

Many thanks in advance

James

Please install MG4 modem. Search and install it thru recovery. It is been answered several times. Just browse little bit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhottinger:
Thanks KSKHH, I have installed MG4 modem through recovery as you suggested. Baseband now reads: I9300XXEMG4

However, I still am facing the same problems. Any other suggestions?

thanks

Download a compatible firmware from sammobile and install thru odin.

Odin installation instruction should be available in youtube.

This means your efs is not compatible with v2 firmware and you will have the same problem with every update in future. If you paid samsung to fix the efs then they should do it properly.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolkS7X:
To put it on short, a few days ago I lost my Xperia Z1 while on the train. Two days before this incident, I rooted and installed the iHackers v3.0 ROM on my phone, along with a few other Xposed modules and slight modifications, on an locked bootloader. After I made sure that everything was fine, all the settings were right and none of the modules were contradicting eachother, I made a full backup through PhilZ recovery, saved it on my external sdcard, then copied it on my computer - just in case, as I may be interested in experimenting with other ROMs or mods, at least I'd have something good and stable to come back to.

Luckily, my insurer didn't know about this "dirty little secret", therefore my insurance wasn't voided. They agreed to send me a brand new, SIM free Xperia Z1 C9603 (just like my previous one, although I'm not sure about the color) within a few days.

The question is, if I root that new phone and install a recovery on it, will I be able to use the backup I made on that other phone? If so, are there any risks of damaging the IMEI and such? Are there any steps I need to follow in order to ensure that it'll work? I don't feel like going through the same fuss all over again, flashing the ROM, installing the modules, spending a whole day in order to make sure again that everything's functional, all the settings are right etc.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
As long as the backup you have does not include the efs partition you should be good. If it contains the efs partition it'll Bork your phone and delete the imei
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolkS7X:
I am not yet sure how the efs should appear inside the backup, as I've never checked the contents or try to figure out which is which. This is what shows up inside the backup when I open it with ES File Explorer. View attachment 2625497

Would this be alright?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Are you backing up in twrp? You would have had to specifically tell it to backup the efs. I don't see that in your screen shot.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It will be fine. I have done it before.

However, once you have rooted your new phone just restore the data in advanced restore, that way it will be perfectly fine and safe.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolkS7X:
I made the backup through PhilZ recovery touch, which I believe is a variation of CWM. I just picked the basic backup, and let it do its job.

Is advanced restore included in Philz recovery, or should I use a different tool?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Use philz, nandroids are not compatible between different recoveries
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You can use Philz recovery backups on CMW and vice versa

Philz recovery is basically CMW with a different GUI.

The backups should work on both.

Yes, look in the backup and restore section, goto advanced restore and choose the data partition
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] IsaiahFeldt:
How do I update my phone when it's rooted? I have twrp installed and when ever I go to install the latest update, it goes through the process on twrp and then fails. Do I have to unroot my phone to get the latest update?

I really want to update my phone to 4.4 kitkat but I'm not sure if I can or not because I'm rooted. What do you advice I should do?

Other info:

* Carrier: Sprint

* Model number: SPH - L720

* Stock Rom

* I made a backup of my phone as soon as I got home from picking it up from the store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Please search. This has been answered before when the update first came up. You cannot be on custom recovery to install an ota. You need to be on stock un rooted with stock recovery. Either Odin MK2 tar or NAE which will be equivalent to the OTA with NAE baseband, software, kernel, and bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] IsaiahFeldt:
Sooooo what your saying I'm gonna have to use Odin to install it manually...? Or I have to factory reset my phone to unrooted stock?

I'm sorry if I'm coming out sounding dumb, but please bear with me.

Thanks for the fast reply by the way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Oin will not wipe your phone. And you don't have to factory reset. Just put grab the NAE tar that is available in the development section. And make sure you have Odin and Samsung drivers installed on your computer. Then follow the OP's instructions on how to use the tar.

Just to be safe you should back up any important data since there have been some instances where the phone after using the NAE tar will hang on the sprint splash screen which requires a factory reset. I hope this makes some sense. I'm still half asleep. Lol

[Asus Transformer TF700] goshechka:
Hi everybody!

I checked through all threads here about my problem, but could not find a solution.

One day ago the battery of my tab ASUS TF700 fully drained.

So I connected the tab to the charger and in some time tried to turn on it.

Nothing happened, it just started vibrating constantly.

The only method helped me stop vibration is hard reboot (power + volume).

When I hold only power button it stops vibrating for a second, make short vibration, again pause and then starts vibrating.

Connection to the monitor by HDMI didn't show anything.

I didn't do any updates right before this accident.

No root, no unlocks etc.

Please help me, I am desperately frustrated.

PS. there are some old trends with the similar problems, but without solutions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Can you boot into the bootloader?

Push and hold Volume Down (left side of the rocker) and Power. The tab should vibrate twice, let go when you see tiny script and three icons.

Push Volume Up with the RCK icon flashing. If you get an Android falling over with an exclamamtion mark, you're good: your stock recovery is working.

You probably corrupted your system when you let the tablet crash in the middle of something. If the stock recovery is still working you can re-flash the firmware. Let me know if you can get there and I'll tell you how.
[Asus Transformer TF700] goshechka:
Hi,berndblb!

Thanks for advise.

Unfortunately my asus doesn't stop vibrating when I push and hold Volume Down (left side of the rocker) and Power.

So there are two options:

1. If I push and hold Volume Down (

left

side of the rocker) and Power,

then it stops vibrating for a while, makes

one

short vibration and continues vibrating constantly without any interruptions.

2. If I push and hold Volume Up (

right

side of the rocker) and Power,

then it stops vibrating for a while, makes

one

short vibration and finanlly stops vibrating. One trick: I have to push and hold till the moment when the device makes one short vibration, and only after the moment when vibration stops finally I can release the buttons.

That is all I managed to discover pushing and holding buttons.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Sorry friend, I think your tablet is hosed....

Pushing Power and Volume Up (right side of the rocker) should get you into APX mode, which is usually the last thing working if everything else is messed up.

But even if you get to APX - it's useless unless your tablelt is unlocked and you previously created your device specific nvflash blobs.

I'm afraid a new main board is your only option....
[Asus Transformer TF700] goshechka:
I have finally won :)

The solution was simple:

1. I let the tablet vibrating till the battery totally discharged (it took the whole night).

2. Vibration of course stopped.

3. I charged the battery a little and switched on the tablet.

4. Tablet launched in normal regime, all data and system were saved, even after I tried to make a hard reset (I suspect it didn't work out).

After that it only once rebooted without any reason, but that's all.

So several days passed, the tablet works without any problems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is good to hear that you have your tf700 back....:good: Thanks for the report back...;)

BTW, are you going to unlock your device and generate the Nvflash blobs? If it occurred once, It could come back again and hope for lucks again...:laugh: Just my two cents..

[Moto X Q&A] 0p3r4t0r:
Hey guys,

I love the X but in my mind there is a big problem with this phone. The strength of the vibration. I searched the whole forum and it seems that there is still no solution to adjust the strength of it.

Maybe a custom rom could work but i want to keep the stock.

I now had the idea of “replacing” the standard vibration with the one that applies, when you shake your phone to enable the camera mode. In my opinion it has a very smooth feeling, is strong enough to feel in your pocket without making this rattle and noisy sound.

Is it possible to extract the corresponding code that tells the phone how it should vibrate when the camera is activated and exchange the normal vibration behavior with it, when I get a notification.

Or am I off the track with this idea that the vibration function is controlled by a simple code line?
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I looked to see if I could find that vibrate pattern somewhere and emulate it with Tasker, because like you said, it feels very smooth and gradual, instead of the violent feel of the "normal" one.

In Tasker you can specify the pattern for vibration in an OFF/ON/OFF/ON/etc sequence. I played with it for a little while one day but didn't get very far. I tried a few different on and off times to see what felt similar but couldn't pin it down.

I did poke around in the system for files related to the camera to see if there was any files specifying how to make it vibrate, but I didn't have any luck there either.

For what it's worth, I use Tasker to vibrate my phone when I get a new SMS and my screen is off. I use a shorter vibration than the standard SMS one, but still do two pulses.
[General Topics] x0101222:
Hello:

I have been trying to find a way of changing the Bluetooth ring tone. It is more likely nothing very important, but after I change the ring tone in PDA for an MP3 that I like, I found that if the call came and the Bluetooth is one we will have a different ring tone in the BT device. I tried with two different BT and both have the same different music.

After I try to find it in the regedit a key for the BT tone, I also check the major .mid .wav and .wma in the windows folder but I couldn´t found the same music…. HHummm

Well, thanks for the reading :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
It's supposed to ask you to install the driver, you select one of the options and then reboot. That should be it. Was that the way of it or do you get the prompt for a driver even after installation of it?

Actually the whole thing is easier if you flash this zip: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2625056&d=1394549299

You want infamous wipes. Dark side is for older recoveries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dextroamphetamine:
I used dark side on TWRP 2.7 and it went well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Just remember these wipe scripts were built with stock TouchWiz (4.1.2) in mind. They were not designed for AOSP and can cause problems.

Do not use the cache wipe script on AOSP! If you flash it after flashing and booting a ROM it will cause problems and you may lose all your data. I couldn't even get back into recovery when I did it. Had to Odin back to stock and start from scratch.
