No service state !!

Hey friend,

Thanks for the reply. I have updated my GT-i9505 to android kitkat 4.4.2 but the problem still exist. i have done a hard reset and wiped out the cache after upgrading the firmware. then also the problem still exist. there is no signal at all. Please help me:(.

thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] andrewwright:
Few questions mate. But first thing to do is get rid of the Imei number you put up in a ss. GET RID OF THAT NOW FOR YOURE SAKE!!!

next question is is it second hand? Possible Imei block if it's second hand.

Next question is have you flashed stock firmware with Odin? What happened? Have you tried to change you're modem?
[General Questions and Answers] alison20064all:
1. No i bought it from UAE. And there is no problem with the imie, when i check imie with *#06# it is same as the number in box.

2. Yeah i got rooted my device and it didn't solved my issue. Then i upgraded to 4.4.2 via kies, it removed my root and the status gone back to official.But it is sad that the signal error is same as before.

At this time my firmware details were as follows

Product Code: XST

PDA: I9505XXUFNBA

CSC: I9505OJVFNB2

MODEM: I9505XXUFNBA

Then finally i flashed the modem with odin. The current baseband version is I9505XXUBMF7 . The problem still exist.

please reply..

thanks in advance mate.
[General Questions and Answers] andrewwright:
Do you get data still? What is uae? ALSO REMOVE YOURE SS OF YOURE IMEI NUMBER. check online with a google search for Imei block checkers. Input you're Imei number into that and see if it's blocked already. :thumbup:

Bricked s4 !! Help please !!

Mate everything gone out of my hand !!

But the problem remained unsolved . So i tried to flash another modem I9505XXUAMDM_MODEM.tar but something went wrong and the odin download mode didn't finished properly and my phone got bricked :crying:

[General Questions and Answers] andrewwright:
Wow you flashed a pit file on a failed Odin flash!! Pit file is a very very last resort thing to do. Had you tried everything and if so what did you try? Odin can be funny with phones at times so don't put of and go flashing pit files. Can you remove the pit you flashed. Does it go into download mode now??
[General Questions and Answers] alison20064all:
Yes, i can get into the download mode.

I tried almost everything i can.I mean as i mentioned in the previous reply. I tried to recover the firmware via Kies recovery, but after downloading almost the recovery file kies says " device not recoganised...... bla blaa "

BTW, falshing pit file always failed in my device !!

[General Questions and Answers] alison20064all:
SOLVED

When i approached the samsung authorized service center they told me to change the mother board and that will only solve my problem. Since the GT-I9505 varient is not available in my country its hopeless. So i gave it to a local store. They just changed the antenna and the network IC. Finally my phone got life back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorisds2000:
Hey everyone ,

I was wondering if there is a Rom/if it would be possible to make a Rom which boots directly into a terminal where you could open apps and stuff with commands.

A bit like raspberry pi where you boot into the terminal and for ex. Type startx and it boots into the graphical interface ...

Thanks

Its very annoying to swipe every open app one by one though i am using the latest Omnirom 20140322 on Samsing Galaxy Note N7000.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyingpreacher:
I have a hard bricked Epic 4G and I have read this post on the forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274999

On page 10, I noticed that Adam could not get the modification to work. Here is where I need clarification:

Does the entire process not work at all? Or, if I perform the necessary hardware modifications (including the soldering), can I at least get my Epic in download mode and flash back to stock? If my phone cannot be made unbrickable, that's ok. I just want it to be operational again. I would prefer to do this than mail it away for JTAG if possible.

Forgive me if I am being a noob and not understanding everything properly. :confused:

Thanks!

ok, now it seems i can only open media player, but if i click on something such as programs, internet explorer, anything like that it just does nothing. if i hit contacts button it just makes the error beep, and if i hit calander it says the no memory error. could this be a corrupt rom?

i need to uninstall facebook from my device sony xperia zr.
[General Questions and Answers] SadEff:
hello friend..

You need root to do this..

if you are rooted then go to system/apps/ with root explorer(App from playstore) then delete the app..

Remember:

After rooting take a Nandroid backup for safety!
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
ROOT is necessary thats right.

But you can easily use "Titanium backup" for uninstalling once you're rooted. Thats much more easy to handle. I look for a root guide. will post it if i find some aproppiate guide. I need to know if you're running Android 4.2 or 4.3 pls.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mastiff:
I have snooped around for a while in the development part of this forum, but it seems like either A2DP is listed as non working, or it's just not mentioned. Are there any KitKat ROMs with it working? I would like to upgrade my wife's phone to something better than the last official ROM, and I'm very satisfied with KitKat on my own devices, but she uses her phone in her car to play music through the BT enabled stereo, so it needs A2DP. If none are working now, is there a chance to get something that's working with A2DP in the near future?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 95A31:
There is not KitKat ROM with working A2DP. It will be fix but not in the near future.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mastiff:
OK, thanks a lot! Then I won't have to look in vain. Any idea how far that future is? ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jeree01:
Hi,

percy wrote in his thread, that he's working on A2DP,wifi direct and other stuff and only problem will remain FM radio. But he also wrote that he's now busy with studies till 10th of april or so. After then he will release new kernel with dual recovery and maybe weekly 5 release ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mastiff:
OK, then I'll wait a month or so for that. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Beverke:
Some, or maybe all, CM KitKat ROMS use Bluez for Bluethooth. At present, bluetooth is working fully on these roms, except music streaming through A2DP. Exactly what you need.

I assume it'll be fixed in next release of Bleuz, which will be version 5.17 (yo can follow this on www.bluez.org). A week after the release of this version from Bluez - we'll most probably have the first KitKat Roms with bluethooth fully operational.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hamza Murad:
[MENTION=234873]Mastiff[/MENTION]

Go to bluez.org

All KitKat roms on this forum use it as their Bluetooth stack. When they list a2dp as working it will work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mastiff:
Thanks! But according to them, on the 11th of March:

"On the Android side by far the biggest feature addition is full support for A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP 1.5. Several other profiles, such as HFP and GATT have continued receiving a fair amount of patches as well, but they are not considered complete yet."

So that should mean that it's already working and has done so for almost a month. Or do I misunderstand it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 95A31:
Our plaform is tricky. Is not enought BlueZ support (they work on Nexus devices) we need adapt our platform to BlueZ, because old Sony code is deprecated
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mastiff:
OK, thanks. A bit more complicated than Hamza thought, then. :) Well, I'll probably just have to wait a bit longer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sharky87:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mastiff:
Yeah, one month ago I got tired of waiting and bought an Xperia Z1 Compact for my wife... ;) She actually took to the size quite easily, I thought it would be too big for her, but I guess the P had sort of primed her for it. Unlike the the P om it's final stock ROM the Z1 Compact on KitKat is very stable.

@OP

this script works for me but i use dalvik runtime only...

AND 1 question to evry1 complaing abt FC's....

are u people using ART compatible GApps??
